Tanin no ayamachi wa
yurushitemo,
Jibun no ayamachi wa
yurusuna.
Jibun no kurushimi niwa
taetemo,
Tanin no kurushimi wa
hötte okuna.


Forgive the faults of others;
however, do not forgive your own.
Endure your own pain;
however, do not ignore
the pain of others.

– Bishop Ryokan Ara
Tendai Mission of Hawaii
