Every once in a while I ask my pals the Boddhisatvas for blessings. You should similarly call on blessings for those in need. You may be in need. Formally call for help with prostrations. Dedicate merit or practice. Resonate a little or a lot ...

Namo Amitabha
Somewhere between our ears, our temples, our perfect Buddhist masters, our good intentions, there exists reality ...
'Just this', as the zenniths say.
meanwhile a blessing ...
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.
OM HA HUM
Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity
May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.

May the fearstruck be free from fear,
May the grieving be free from grief,
May the suffering be free from suffering.
So, too, may all beings be.
~The Buddha
Could you cite the source, please? (Many quotes, attributed to The Buddha, are in fact, at best, close inventions, at worst, fakes....
)
nmaddp and lobster,thanks ....their voice s are beutiful.
A little googling and as best I can tell is that it is part of a metta prayer from the Bhavana Society.
Thanks, @person. So not a direct quote. I suspected as much.
Apologies. I am usually keen to source things and avoid misattributing things to the Buddha as the web is rife with that. Is it possible to edit our posts?
Nope, not after a pre-determined period. (I believe it's 15 minutes).
After that, you gotta ask me....
Me too. But I think we have two very different Taras in mind.

Deep in my bones the Goddess is alive,
Deep in my cells and blood the Life Force is strong,
Deep in my heart and spirit,
I believe I will heal.
I feel Kuan Yin at my core,
Filling me with Faith and Health.
Abundant Life Forces of the Universe flow in me,
And banish all disease.

And healing me now ...

My Bathroom Buddha sitting
I am the Buddha Thrown
into the least space
Emptying my beggars bowels
My dreams of samsara mascara
When I look in the mirror
Who should I see in the pan left
Blessing this log head ...
OM MANI PEME HUM
You are your own refuge and the source of your own enlightenment. Don't ask from outside for what you need. Besides, happiness is not about what happens but about how you learn to react to whatever happens. This is entirely up to you and it arises from years of Practice and a willingness to let go of needing things to turn out a certain way for us.
Instead, ask that others be blessed ... this is the path to taking your focus off yourself and putting it onto others. And the more we care about others and let go of our self-attachments, the more free we become.
May your supply of Neapolitan be infinite, with the flavours in perfect harmony. Homage to the Tantric Triad!
A blessing from the 16th Dairy Lama
“You are the sky.
Everything else,
It’s just the weather.”

May we all become Buddhas so we can best help everyone else become Buddhas then they can help others become Buddhas and then those Buddhas can help others become Buddhas.
