DEDICATION
Dedicated
to the impeccable perpetuation of the glorious Kagyu lineage and to the
success
of its leaders and followers in accomplishing their commitment to
bring
all sentient beings to the state of enlightened awareness.
THE
FOUR LIMITLESS THOUGHTS
May all
mother sentient beings, boundless as the space, have happiness and the
causes of happiness.
May they
be liberated from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May they
never be separated from the happiness which is free from sorrow.
May they
rest in equanimity, free from attachment and aversion.
