[rhythm]

Aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life ,

I vow to cultivate compassion and learn ways to protect

the lives of people , animals, plants , and minerals .I am

determined not to kill , not to let others kill , and not to condone

eny act of killing in the world , in my thinking, or in my way of life

(Thich Nhat Hanh )blessed are the peace makers...
