Vows for Interfaith Marriages
I have enjoyed the time we've spent talking about what our different
faiths
mean to us. We have discovered much that we share in common. It
is my
prayer that the candles we have lit together today in unity will
enlighten
our path to the future. I promise to honor your traditions as I
honor you.
Buddhist
“In the future, happy occasions will come as surely as the
morning.
Difficult times will come as surely as the night.
When things go joyously, meditate according to the Buddhist tradition.
When things go badly, meditate.
Meditation in the manner of the Compassionate Buddha will guide
your life.
To say the words ‘love and compassion’ is easy.
But to accept that love and compassion are built upon patience
and perseverance is not easy.”
