My fervent daily prayer:
May all females everywhere
plagued by sufferings created by
patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism,
obtain an ocean of happiness and joy
by virtue of my merits.
May no female suffer
from those who think females inferior and unworthy
merely due to her gender.
For as long as space remains,
for as long as men and women remain,
until then may I too remain
to dispel the miseries of women!
- paraphrased from Adele Tomlin of Dakini Translations and Publications, a dear friend of mine, written in December 2020
