Let Us Live Happily... 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. Buddha
DEPRESSION... Prayer for Freedom From Suffering... 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. Buddha
The Four Immeasurables... May all living beings have happiness and the causes of happiness; may all living beings be free from misery and the causes of misery; may all living beings never be separated from happiness, devoid of misery; may all living beings abide in equanimity free from prejudicial attachments and aversions. Buddha
Traditional Blessing and Healing Chant.. Just as the soft rains fill the streams, pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans, so may the power of every moment of your goodness flow forth to awaken and heal all beings, Those here now, those gone before, those yet to come. By the power of every moment of your goodness May your heart's wishes be soon fulfilled as completely shining as the bright full moon, as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem. By the power of every moment of your goodness, may all dangers be averted and all disease be gone. May no obstacle come across your way. May you enjoy fulfillment and long life. For all in whose heart dwells respect, who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way, may your life prosper in the four blessings of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.
Meditation in Affliction... 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.
