Thou quenchest the fire that vexes living beings.

O thou who rejoicest in kindness having its source in compassion, thou great cloud of good qualities and of benevolent mind, thou quenchest the fire that vexes living beings, thou pourest out nectar, the rain of the law.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Lotus of the True Law, Avalokitesvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, is like a great cloud of kindness: he quenches the fire of misfortune that burns living beings by pouring down on them the rain of the teaching, sweet as nectar. Today, when someone near you is “on fire” (anger, stress, grief), be that rain: a calm voice, a glass of water, a few minutes of listening.
