The order is changing
as it always has and ever
will; the world is turning
on its everlasting wheel
and what was becomes
what is and will be.
This is the nature of our
temporal existence-that there
is always flux and what we come
to depend on is no more
certain than the coming of
rain and the length of dry.
We have but this as the core
to our dependent existence:
to be aware and understand our
life and suffering, and to know
that change is unending, is circle.
In this Knowledge that dispels
ignorance, we see the better
path to happiness; and we seek to
bring compassion and joy to those
who suffer and in so doing we find
the source of all true and lasting peace.
