Each morning, during your hour of devotion offer bows of gratitude to the Divine Mother for having led you into this great year that is dedicated towards Self-Knowing, which has caused you to look at your faults, flaws, failing and other short-comings and set firm your mind to eradicate them instead of nurturing them, so that you may succeed in generating the good character that is required if you are to enter into the ranks of a practising Kuan Yin Contemplative whose character is noble, compassionate and selfless, and whose one thought is to help living beings to be free from suffering and to lead them into this Path that generates the Great Loving Heart of a Bodhisattva. (STQ-2011-p13)
