December 2013 Community Prayer Wall Offering

anataman

Last year I went through a rather traumatic period of my life where I returned to 'Rigpa' (also the name for a Tibetan buddhist centre in north London, where I first came to know and understand buddhism and learned to meditate). On my return I found that there was a book in the shrine room that you could write the name of someone, and the cause of their suffering, in it, and knew that someone in the centre would pray for them (I found myself reading the names and the disease/death/suffering and feeling true compassion as I meditated in front of the Gold Statue). One day when I was particularly troubled I went to the shrine room and was told that someone there was going through grief, and did I really need to be there - yes I did. I read the book and saw the additional name and the cause of their grief. I felt true compassion that day.

I would like to offer every member in this community a prayer for the suffering they, or someone else they know, are experiencing. I will do a daily meditation throughout December and beyond and pray for every name (or initial) that is listed in this thread to be healed and released from their suffering:

J.C. - depression
V.R. - depression
L.R. - diabetes, kidney stones
N.R. - back pain
