To Our Benevolent Teacher on Thanksgiving

It has been ten years since you first taught us how to lead our lives by "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and more than three years since the evil persecution in China began. Only you can truly know how much you have suffered and given on our behalf and for all sentient beings, but each of us, in our own way, have deeply felt your boundless compassion in our hearts. For everything that you have given us, we truly feel blessed and grateful. We can only hope that our continued diligence and improvement will be worthy of all that you have done.
