This amazing memorial service is to work on a George Floyd, Rihanna Taylor, and on all of you, and to have got out of centuries of senseless violence against Black people in this time. Thank you.

whose lives have been taken and terrible acts of police and vigilante by them. The peace, wealth, meaning, and safe assets of all those who enslaved America from 1619 until 1865. The healing and turning of those whose damaged hearts don't fall in mind. and to make the endless cyclical close suffering, to the continuation of racially motivated acts of torture, break and murder to the present time, the growth in wisdom and kindness of worldly leaders, for the enactment of fair and just laws, for the protection of all humankind, May these words of dedication help heal this world of suffering and people for the sake of all living being.

May we, with every act of body, speech, and mind from this day forward, dedicate ourselves to peacefulness and non-violence. So that the power of human goodness and kindness will overcome acts of human cruelty in my art and devotion. And may we hear all beings by insolence and strength in Buddha's place. Oh, my God, this day. Oh, stop.
