NAMO SAPTANAM SAMYAKSAMBUDDHA KOTINAM. TADYATHA: OM! CALE, CULE, CUNDI SVAHA!
One of my favourites is the reflection on sharing blessings chant (Pali and English).
南無 颯哆喃 三藐三菩陀 俱胝喃 怛姪他
唵 折隸 主隸 准提 娑婆訶
namaḥ saptānāṃ samyaksaṃbuddha koṭīnāṃ tadyathā
oṃ cale cule cundī svāhā

One of the kindest(?) sentiments of well wishing I have come across, may these blessings rain down upon us.
Harsh. But Fair.
May you be at peace.
May your heart remain open.
May you realize the beauty of your own true nature.
May you be healed.
May you be a source of healing for this world.
May I be well, happy, and peaceful.
May my teachers be well, happy, and peaceful.
May my parents be well, happy, and peaceful.
May my relatives be well, happy, and peaceful.
May my friends be well, happy, and peaceful.
May the indifferent persons be well, happy, and peaceful.
May the unfriendly persons be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all meditators be well, happy, and peaceful.
May all beings be well, happy, and peaceful.
I came across this when the thread inspired me to go read more Buddhist blessings, and thought it was worth reposting here. Funny how searching for ‘Buddhist blessings’ takes you first to a series of wedding blessings...
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.
Not exactly a blessing but this is one of the dedication prayers I say at the end of my practice. Its a slightly modified version of a Tibetan prayer.
A Jain Prayer for Peace
Lead me from Death to Life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
From fear to trust.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill our heart, our world,
Our universe.
to live
to possess life
to be grateful
To have the opportunity to bring happiness to others
to know I have done my best
for you to know you have done your best
that is all the blessing we need
Oṃ Amideva Hrīḥ
Speaking from within my sphere of experience:
Without the blessing of the teacher there cannot be any realization and no progress on the path. Only if I vanish his blessing yields fruits.
GURU PEDMA SIDDHI HUNG
So you're saying those without a teacher are never going to make progress? From within your sphere of experience?....
Objective/subjective... an observation from within one's own sphere of experience is always a comment from within a bubble. Other things happen outside the bubble, but we are untouched by them.... we see them, but are separate.
This doesn't make them untrue, unreal, imaginary or wrong.
It just makes them apart from our sphere.
But they are just as true, real, solid and right to others, as our observations are to us.
The trick is to not dismiss them and/or discount them as invalid...
Such solid entrenched views make a wall of the bubble's boundaries and reduce our viewpoint to a single speck.
Unskilful.
Dear Friends of the Blessed One ☝️
And us accursed too ?
As we know, Buddha Bubble Blessing is a bursting of amrita ...
OM MANI PEME - ping -
From within my sphere of experience to express it appropriately would be thus: there isn't a being anywhere that doesn't have the teacher. However having the teacher is not the same as receiving the blessing of the teacher without which there cannot be any realization and no progress on the path.
If you think that your categories are independent of a bubble then that's the bubble.
When I say 'Speaking from within my sphere of experience: ' that does not mean I would be making claims regarding an alleged reality, it only means that I apply words that appear appropriate in a given context.
Where have I said that?
It is you who seem to indicate that, not I. You're the one who mentioned 'sphere' first....
Then you need to pick your words more carefully, friend.
Or decide whether in fact, Silence would be an apposite aspect of Right Speech.
Is your impression that my words do insult or are unfriendly? I have love for all of you. I am your dharma friend.
Ok that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.
Even if you are doing guru yoga and keep samaya with your guru it is still falling off from that to deny that other practices also truly have their fruits.
"The kind of seed sown
will produce that kind of fruit.
Those who do good will reap good results.
Those who do evil will reap evil results.
If you carefully plant a good seed,
You will joyfully gather good fruit."
Dhammapada

meanwhile in the Purée Lands ...
Hūṃ! In the north-west of the land of Oḍḍiyāṇa
In the heart of a lotus flower,
Endowed with the most marvellous attainments,
You are renowned as the ‘Lotus-born’,
Surrounded by many hosts of ḍākinīs.
Following in your footsteps,
I pray to you: Come, inspire me with your blessing!
Guru Pema Siddhi Hung
“My father is the intrinsic awareness, Samantabhadra (Sanskrit; Tib. ཀུན་ཏུ་བཟང་པོ). My mother is the ultimate sphere of reality, Samantabhadri (Sanskrit; Tib. ཀུན་ཏུ་བཟང་མོ). I belong to the caste of non-duality of the sphere of awareness. My name is the Glorious Lotus-Born. I am from the unborn sphere of all phenomena. I act in the way of the Buddhas of the three times.”

You lucky people. ???
You get to send metta, puja, blessing ... ???
My sister and boyfriend are in Scotland - holiday, driving around looking for the King in the North. Liam fell and has soft tissue damage. Is in constant pain but probably doing the driving.

Very sorry to hear about Liam. ?
Will ask my Buddhist group to send healing energy. Some are Christians. Most not but good will (metta) is always welcome.
Useful Gaelic phrase ... ???????

Blessed the online Sangha I've met.
Blessed having found this thread too.
Blessed the Sangha everywhere, through time and space.
I wish you all happiness and a peaceful existence across the path.
Nice to see the Lobster still posting in his own indomitable and unique style.
Plus ça change,plus c'est la même chose...
Avalokiteshvara, Perceiver of the cries of the world,
takes refuge in Buddha,
will be a Buddha,
helps all to be Buddhas,
is not separate from Buddha, Dharma, Sangha —
being eternal, intimate, pure and joyful.
In the morning, be one with Avalokiteshvara,
In the evening, be one with Avalokiteshvara,
whose heart, moment by moment, arises,
whose heart, moment by moment, remains!)
All Buddhas throughout space and time
all honored ones, bodhisattva-mahasattvas
wisdom beyond wisdom
