"Let's investigate only within this body of ours.
There's no need to focus on others.
Most of the time the mind is sent out to find fault with other people.
Let's teach our heart to submit to the purpose and teachings of Dhamma.
The function of this fabricated body is only to grow old, suffer, and then die.
During the period of time before we die,
let's contemplate frequently:
'What am I doing right now?
Does the heart have merit and goodness— or not?'*
~ Luang Pu Thong-In Katapuñño
* Merit and goodness include generosity, virtue, and universal goodwill, along with other good qualities of the mind that are developed from meditation.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa. (3 times)
Homage to the Blessed One, the Worthy One,
the Rightly Self-awakened One.
Requesting Forgiveness:
Mahāthere pamādena, dvārattayena kataṁ,
Sabbaṁ aparādhaṁ khamatu no bhante. (3 times)
Venerable Sir, may you forgive us for any wrong we have done you out of heedlessness in thought, word, or deed.
