INTERFAITH WISDOM

This week Buddhist prayers for peace.

May all beings everywhere
plagued with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses. 
May those frightened cease to be afraid
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power
and may people think of befriending one another.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wildernesses,
the children, the aged, the unprotected
be guarded by beneficent celestrials
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

May our brothers and sisters, human and non human beings,
born in every form sharing in the web of life
be safe, be happy and be free.
May true peace of the heart bring peace among all peoples of the world.
May all beings everywhere find joy and blessings. 
May I and all beings awaken together.
