Its hard to avoid reading or hearing about the craziness that passes for debate over healthcare reform of late. I was reminded of this prayer for teacher and student from the Upanishads. Its very old. I don't know for sure how it was used. But legend has it that it was chanted prior to teaching by both student and teacher. I would so love if this attitude could be cultivated today as we work through difficult and complicated topics that affect us all.May we be protected together.
May we be nourished together.
May we work together, uniting our strength for the good of humanity.
May our learning be enlightening and purposeful.
May we never hate each other.
Om shanti, shanti, shanti...Peace.
