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 wilderness-- the children, the aged, the unprotected-- be guarded by beneficent celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.
The Buddha
May I become at all times, both now and forever A protector
for those without protection A guide for those who have lost their way A ship for those with oceans to cross A bridge
for those with rivers to cross A sanctuary for those in danger A lamp for those without light A place of refuge for
those who lack shelter And a servant to all in need.
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
Assailed by afflictions, we discover Dharma And find the
way to liberation. Thank you, evil forces!
When sorrows invade the mind, we discover Dharma And find lasting happiness.
Thank you, sorrows!
Through harm caused by spirits we discover Dharma And find fearlessness. Thank you, ghosts and
demons!
Through people's hate we discover Dharma And find benefits and happiness. Thank you, those who hate us!
Through
cruel adversity, we discover Dharma And find the unchanging way. Thank you, adversity!
Through being impelled to
by others, we discover Dharma And find the essential meaning. Thank you, all who drive us on!
We dedicate our merit
to you all, to repay your kindness.
Gyalwa Longchenpa
Let us live happily, without hate amongst
those who hate. Let us dwell unhating amidst hateful men. Let us live happily, in good health amongst those who are sick.
Let us dwell in good health amidst ailing men. Let us live happily, without yearning for sensual pleasures amongst
those who yearn for them. Let us dwell without yearning amidst those who yearn. Let us live happily, we who have no
impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
The Buddha
