New Year's Wish 2019 - 2020

---

May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food;
May the thirsty find water
And delicious drinks.

May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy;
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.

May all who are sick and ill
Quickly be freed from their illness,
And may every disease in the world
Never occur again.

For as long as space endures
And for as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I, too, abide
To dispel the misery of the world.

May the teachings, which are the sole medicine for suffering
And the origin of every joy,
Be materially supported and honored
And abide for a very long time.

[and my very best wishes for a happy and healthy 2020 to you too  <3 ]
