Bookmark resting on a white plastic cooler lid, reading, "Take and give without ceasing." A prayer for this secret practice of great beings, such as all bodhisattvas including the universal savior Jesus Christ: "O venerable compassionate guru, bless me! May all the sufferings, sins and obscurations of all beings, once my mothers, ripen upon me now without exception. May I give my happiness and virtue to others and may all beings have happiness."
