0:00.0	The following talk was given at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California.
0:05.0	Please visit our website at audiodderma.org. So good morning everyone, everyone.
0:13.0	And for today I'd like to begin by reading a Buddhist prayer for peace. It begins this piece with the quote from the Buddha and the quote goes,
