She also brought back this inspiring quote from The DAlai Lama printed on a scroll made of canvas with cotton fabric trip, wooden stretchers at top and bottom, and silk tassels. Friends seeing it in the Stephenson home requested that Susan order for them, so now she has them shipped and offered on this site. They are not always available but are worth the wait. THe background is usually a neutral color as in the picture, and the tassels are made of whatever color yarn is available at the time. The width is 9 inches and the length, depending on who is printing and sewing, is between 9 inches and 18 inches. Always the complete quote is printed:
Every day, think as you wake up. Today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive, I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts toward others, I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can. His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama
