Prayer

May peace spread across the globe

As simple as to eyes to see and hands to hold

May light illuminate the dark

Revealing truth and love within our hearts

May the sick be healed and blind can see

There is no pain; for you nor me

May the lost be found; in this crazy world

Rise up like the lotus

Help to cultivate the good.

A Bodhisattva’s Prayer for Humanity – Rise Like A Lotus

May I be a guard for those who need protection

A guide for those on the path

A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood

May I be a lamp in the darkness

A resting place for the weary

A healing medicine for all who are sick

A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles

And for the boundless multitudes of living beings

May I bring sustenance and awakening

Enduring like the earth and sky

Until all beings are freed from sorrow

And all are awakened.

– Shantideva, Indian Buddhist sage 700 A.D. Prayer performed each morning by His Holiness the Dalai Lama
