All that lives, all that is , abides within this moment. The past and future are also here. As you confirm your relationship in the eyes of this greater community, you are also confirming that this community lives in your love for each other. May your life as one be dedicated to the the well-being of all creations. Please meditate on this during the next few minutes of silence.
Nothing happens without cause.
This is a marriage not only of two individuals, but of the working of cause and effect through many past lives. Today, two streams of practice are joined to become one. May their mutual love and respect refresh and encourage them to faithfully follow the Enlightened Way for the sake of all creations. Being One with the awakened nature of all beings. Being One with the ocean of wisdom and compassion.
