This world completely lacks essence;
It trembles in all directions.
I longed to find myself a place
Unscathed — but I could not see it.
Our heart's natural longing unites us with the suffering people of Japan. May we together, through our practice and generosity, find happiness and peace.
Later Note: The Jizo Chronicles has links to a variety of ways to support the people of Japan. Thank you, Maia!

the world’s essence
is manifest in compassion,
we tremble,
only when we do nothing.
break out your check book,
or your credit card;
this is the minimum,
within our individual situations
that we can do.
