Gratitude to the Dalai Lama for Buddhism For All

by | Jul 14, 2024 | Buddhism.net Blog

Extracted from the Acknowledgement section of Buddhism For All:

We are very grateful to and very touched by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama for giving his personal blessing to us and to this book.  More than anybody alive today, His Holiness is an inspiration who shows me what it is like to be a good practicing Buddhist in service to the world.  Even more impactful for me are his love and hugs.  Mere words cannot express how much his personal blessing means to the both of us.

To all of you whom I owe a debt of gratitude to, let me repay you partially with this poem, mostly because it costs me nothing, and also because I did it in all my other books and nobody complained.

Let’s go, vamanos.
Beyond the limited mind.
Everybody let’s go.
Welcome to enlightenment!

(In original Sanskrit: Gate, gate. Paragate.  Parasamgate. Bodhi svaha!)
