and experience physical and emotional suffering
in ourselves, our family, and our friends.

Trust in the Light.
Darkness is not a force -
it is merely the absence of light.
Observe that when a light is brought to a dark place,
the darkness disappears.

Open yourself to the Light!
Hold back nothing,
Trust in the Light.
