    From The Ceremony Praising Ancestral Teachers, by Thich Nhat Hanh

    Homage to the Ancestral Teachers of all ages!

    We are aware that trees have their roots and water its source. The Buddha
    and all generations of our Ancestral Teachers are our source, and we are the
    continuation of you, our ancestors.

    This is our aspiration

    We are determined to receive the awakened understanding, compassion,


    peace, joy, and healing energy which the Buddha and the Ancestral
    Teachers have transmitted to us.

    We are determined to maintain these and to help them grow, never


    allowing this precious spiritual inheritance to come to an end.

    We are determined to continue to realize your aspiration to help all beings.

    We are determined to transform our own suffering and to help the people
    of our time to transform their suffering.

    We are determined to open Dharma doors for future generations which are
    appropriate, and that can help them to apply the teachings of Buddhism in
    all fields of life.

    We vow to practice to live happily and peacefully in the present moment,


    to nourish solidity and freedom in ourselves, in order to help those around
    us.

    * * *

    I see my teachers and spiritual ancestors in me


    and I open myself to their inspiring, positive energy…
    May I realize their teachings,
    and transmit their love and wisdom to present and future generations…

    I turn to my spiritual ancestors


    I ask them for their support,
    protection and strength…
