This image was released on Inauguration Day 2021, as a healing prayer for the United States of America. The red, white and blue words contain the message, “Underneath hate is fear, underneath fear is hurt.” The red stripes contain three different versions of the current Pledge of Allegiance: the first version, from 1892; the second, from 1923, which included the words, “the United States of America;” and the third version, with the words “under God” added to the pledge in 1954 during the Cold War – indicating that our country changes and works to evolve into a more perfect union. The blue stripes contain the words of the Bodhisattva Prayer for All Humanity.

It is my prayer that our country can heal from hate, fear and hurt brought down upon us from our sins of the past, and evolve into a positive, shining beam of light and hope for the world.
