Many thanks, everyone.
Be all; worlds dissolve into your stainless endless radiance,
Frail living leaves burn with you brighter than cold stars;
Make me your servant, your breath, your core.
It's the Prayer of St Francis.
And another prayer:
Lord, bring Peace to this world;
Begin I pray thee, with me.
Where it has begun to stir may it never fade
And may it awaken fully
Let your hearts embrace the universe.
Hold on to each other while life goes on.
Oh my friends, hold on.
Prayer by Rev Young, UU Tampa Fla.
When something happens that calls for a prayer (like when my father died) I recite these vows:
Sentient beings are numberless; I vow to save them
Desires are inexhaustible; I vow to put an end to them
The Dharmas are boundless: I vow to master them
The Buddha Way is unsurpassable; I vow to attain it
I would pray but
I am uncertain what to ask of the night sky.
An airplane's guidance spark dazzles my eye,
as if a star were lassoed with the reach of my unborn wish
and brought down to grant it.
It is not so easy.
I see a tapestry of small lights,
far off and waning.
But I think the prayer is already written,
while the future is not.
It is a dark dull day,
In here we must stay,
Be warned, do not let the mind stray,
On this dark dull day.
May your Gods go with you.
