Loving kindness, meditation, center in Bryan, Ohio (Ayn vassana kalo DANA OFFERING)

Pet Blessings at Loving Kindness Meditation Center, we gathered at Loving Kindness Meditation Center with Venerable Bhante Nagitha to offer blessings of loving-kindness and compassion to our beloved animal companions.

In the Kukkura Jātaka, the Buddha told of a wise and compassionate dog who cared deeply for his fellow dogs. When the dogs were wrongly blamed for causing damage, their leader spoke with courage and truth. Through his wisdom and compassion, the injustice was revealed.

The story reminds us that mettā has no boundaries. Kindness and compassion extend to every living being. Our animal companions teach us patience, loyalty, unconditional love, and the beauty of living in the present moment.

May all our beloved pets be healthy, safe, peaceful, and free from suffering. May the loving bond we share with them become a beautiful practice of mettā—boundless loving-kindness.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
May all beings be happy and peaceful.

Bhante Devananda Blessings Lotus Offering for the Vassa Season. A beautiful Lotus Flower Offering was made during the Vassa season at the historic Kotte Rajamahavihara, Sri Lanka. 🙏🪷

May these fragrant flowers offered with a pure and faithful heart remind us of the Buddha’s teaching on impermanence, purity, and awakening.

🌸 Pāli Gāthā for Flower Offering:
Pūjemi Buddhaṃ kusumena tena,
Puññena me tena ca hotu mokkho;
Pupphaṃ milāyāti yathā idaṃ me,
Kāyo tathā yāti vināsa-bhāvaṃ.

“By these flowers I worship the Buddha.
By this merit, may I attain liberation.
Just as these flowers wither and fade,
so too does this body come to destruction.”

May the merits of this noble offering bring peace, happiness, good health, and spiritual strength to all beings. May the Vassa season be a time of deepening mindfulness, compassion, wisdom, and Metta. 🪷🙏

Pet Blessings at Loving Kindness Meditation Center

Today, we gathered at Loving Kindness Meditation Center with Venerable Bhante Nagitha to offer blessings of loving-kindness and compassion to our beloved animal companions.

In the Kukkura Jātaka, the Buddha told of a wise and compassionate dog who cared deeply for his fellow dogs. When the dogs were wrongly blamed for causing damage, their leader spoke with courage and truth. Through his wisdom and compassion, the injustice was revealed.

The story reminds us that mettā has no boundaries. Kindness and compassion extend to every living being. Our animal companions, too, experience joy, fear, affection, and suffering. They depend upon us for care, protection, and love, and in return they teach us patience, loyalty, unconditional love, and presence.

May all our beloved pets be healthy, safe, peaceful, and free from suffering. May the loving bond we share with them become a beautiful practice of mettā—boundless loving-kindness.

Sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitattā.
May all beings be happy and peaceful.
