Prayer at the Shwedagon Pagoda
Let us safeguard this innate awareness for awakening the ability to identify the root cause of issues and their corresponding solutions as well as to take actions to warrant sustainability for our life communities
With utmost sincerity, we pay homage to the auspicious Pagoda that is the embodiment of all wisdom which will light up people's hearts.
To steer far away from the damage (confusions) caused by greed, anger, and ignorance.
And to steer far away from all pains (crises) brought about by wanton desires.
Please awaken spirituality for the entire humankind
And transform the Earth's ecological crises that threaten her survival.
Please grant the world sustainability fewer calamities and a harmonious symbiosis
We pray for the countless loss of lives fallen in the Australian wildfires, so that their souls be devoid of fears and rest in everlasting peace.
We pray that the world be safe and secure and without disasters nor calamities and that world peace and Buddha's Dharma take up permanent abode amongst us.
Now please follow my instruction for our hearts to create the resonance of peace
Breathe deep in and out
Hold the palms upright in a clasp
Relax
Calm down
Calm down
Calm down
Let our heart and mind become themselves again
We pray that the tranquility will connect the hearts of all sentient beings and the resonance to vibrate the Earth's magnetic field to reveal all compassion and good virtues and that the strengths of people's hearts at peace will heal our Mother Earth beyond healing ourselves.
