Our Karma

 

Our Karma,

Which art around us,

Benelovent be Thy name;

Our kingdom come,

Our will be done,

To us, as it is to others.

Give us this day our daily breath;

And forgive us our volition,

As we forgive the volition of others.

Lead us not into craving;

But deliver us from enmity;

For Thine is the wisdom,

And the kindness,

And the happiness forever.

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

 

                                                                    the 14th Dalai Lama

May all beings be happy, content and fulfilled;

May all beings be healed and whole;

May all have whatever they want and need;

May all be protected from harm and free from fear;

May all beings enjoy peace of mind and ease;

May all be awakened, liberated and free;

May there be peace in this world;

                  and through out the entire universe.

To contemplate the meaningful Dharmas

every day is indeed what one should

strive for

let it be your daily task

love all with all your heart

do unto others as you wish others

would do unto you

 

to learn from ones own mistakes

Is the way to clear understanding

 

Listening to the inner voice

there can be great avoidance

of pitfalls

listen, listen listen

to really listen is indeed

an art

om om om

A PRAYER OF ASPIRATION

 

Buddhas and bodhisattvas altogether:

Whatever kind of motivation you have,

Whatever kind of beneficial action,

Whatever kind of wishing prayers,

Whatever kind of omniscience,

Whatever kind of life accomplishment,

Whatever kind of immense wisdom you have,

Then similarly I, who have come in the same way to benefit beings,

Pray to attain these qualities.

 

At this very moment, for the peoples and the nations of the earth, may not even the names disease, famine, war, and suffering be heard.

Rather, may their moral conduct, merit, wealth and prosperity increase, and may supreme good fortune and well-being always arise from them.

 

Om Tare tam soha!

Dear Rinpoche:  Thank you for His Holiness's Prayer.  I have printed it and placed it in my Red Tara practice manual.  Is there any way I can contact you via E-mail?  I have heard that you have taped Teachings, and I would like to find out more about them.  I would be most grateful to hear from you.  My E-mail address is:  Shanti4@MSN.com.

May all beings be liberated and know peace!

Yours in the Dharma, Kunga Khadro

Words of Truth

His HOLINESS TENZIN GYATSO THE FOURTEENTH DALAI LAMA OF TIBET

A Prayer Composed by Honoring and Invoking the Great Compassion
of the Three Jewels; the Buddha, the Teachings,
and the Spiritual Community

 

O Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and disciples
of the past, present, and future:
Having remarkable qualities
Immeasurably vast as the ocean,
Who regard all helpless sentient beings
as your only child;
Please consider the truth of my anguished pleas.

Buddha's full teachings dispel the pain of worldly
existence and self-oriented peace;
May they flourish, spreading prosperity and happiness through-
out this spacious world.
O holders of the Dharma: scholars
and realized practitioners;
May your ten fold virtuous practice prevail.

Humble sentient beings, tormented
by sufferings without cease,
Completely suppressed by seemingly endless
and terribly intense, negative deeds,
May all their fears from unbearable war, famine,
and disease be pacified,
To freely breathe an ocean of happiness and well-being.
And particularly the pious people
of the Land of Snows who, through various means,
Are mercilessly destroyed by barbaric hordes
on the side of darkness,
Kindly let the power of your compassion arise,
To quickly stem the flow of blood and tears.

Those unrelentingly cruel ones, objects of compassion,
Maddened by delusion's evils,
wantonly destroy themselves and others;
May they achieve the eye of wisdom,
knowing what must be done and undone,
And abide in the glory of friendship and love.

May this heartfelt wish of total freedom for all Tibet,
Which has been awaited for a long time,
be spontaneously fulfilled;
Please grant soon the good fortune to enjoy
The happy celebration of spiritual with temporal rule.

O protector Chenrezig, compassionately care for
Those who have undergone myriad hardships,
Completely sacrificing their most cherished lives,
bodies, and wealth,
For the sake of the teachings, practitioners,
people, and nation.

Thus, the protector Chenrezig made vast prayers
Before the Buddhas and Bodhisativas
To fully embrace the Land of Snows;
May the good results of these prayers now quickly appear.
By the profound interdependence of emptiness
and relative forms,
Together with the force of great compassion
in the Three Jewels and their Words of Truth,
And through the power
of the infallible law of actions and their fruits,
May this truthful prayer be unhindered
and quickly fulfilled.

(This prayer, Words of Truth, was composed by His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the Fourteenth Dalai Lama of Tibet, on 29 September 1960 at his temporary headquarters in the Swarg Ashram at Dharamsala, Kangra District, Himachal State, India. This prayer for restoring peace, the Buddhist teachings, and the culture and self-determina-tion of the Tibetan people in their homeland was written after repeated requests by Tibetan government officials along with the unanimous consensus of the monastic and lay communities.)

Please type in your prayers for whatever and do explain. It does count if you made it up. :) Hehe! It doesn't have to be traditional. Just have fun with this.

May the teachings of the countless Buddhas be with you.
