  • Like the light of the sun, moon, and stars, may love, compassion, and wisdom shine forth. May they strike every single living being and dispel the darkness of ignorance, attachment, and hatred that has lurked for ages in their being. When any living being meets with another, may it be like the reunion of a mother and child who have long been separated. In a harmonious world such as this, may I see everyone sleep peacefully to the music of nonviolence. This is my dream. The main way we humans improve ourselves is through language; it is also the medium through which we make connections with each other. The Kagyu Monlam is an expression of our love for the world and all living beings and I want it to be accessible to as many people as possible. –The Seventeenth Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje
