Cover: Great Compassion Mantra Verse:
Composed by Venerable Master Hua SERIES: Wood
creates Fire. The red color on this month's
cover represents fire arising out of wood, shown as green on the cover. Wood belongs
to spring; from spring comes summer. Fire belongs to summer and is connected with the south and heat. The
Nei Ching says: "Summer is called the period of luxurious growth. The breaths of heaven and earth intermingle and are
beneficial. Everything is in bloom and begins to bear fruit."
Therefore, fire is connected with laughter and joy--with the heart. Vajra Bodhi Staff for English Section Director of Publications: Tripitaka Master Hsuan Hua Chairperson of the Board: Upasaka C.T.
