Namaççakyamunaye thathāgatāya, arhate, samyak sambuddhaya.

Bright shineth the sun in his splendour by day
And bright the moon's radiance by night,
Bright shineth the hero in battle array,
And the sage in his thought shineth bright
But by day and by night, none so glorious so bright
As Bhagavat, the source of all spiritual light.

-DHAMMAPADA, 387.

There is one alone unchanging,
From whose face the darkness flies,
High-born, luminously beaming,
Uncompared, beyond comprise-
Bhagavat, the far-seeing,
Bhagavat, the very wise. -. PARAYANA SUTTA.

There nowhere in all the world
That his reason has not been ;
Not a fact whereof the Master
Has not pierced the origin.
He will end the doubter's questions,
If they will but let him in - Ibid.

Dedicated

to

All whose hearts are vast like the sea
And full of compassion and love ;
Whose thoughts, like the sweet Philomel,
Soar high and lofty for ever ;
Who, regardless of consequences,
Use their reason to distinguish
What is true from what is untrue ;

Who work with zeal to share with all

The easy path of salvation
Revealed by Him who read aright
The problem of origination.
