Prayer

Navaho Blessed BeautyWay Prayer

 

Great Spirit, may we walk in Beauty.

May Beauty be above us so that we dream of Beauty.

May Beauty be in front of us so that we are led by Beauty.

May Beauty be to the left of us so that we may receive Beauty.

May Beauty be to the right of us so that we may give out Beauty.

May Beauty be behind us so that those who come after us may see Beauty.

May Beauty be inside us so that we might become Beauty.

Great Spirit, may we walk in Beauty.

The Potala Palace, a majestic ancient complex on Lhasa’s Red Hill, was originally built by King Songtsen Gampo in the seventh century for the princess he was to marry. At 2 1/2 miles above sea level, the palace has been both the home and burial site of many Dalai Lamas. Buddhists from all over the world make the pilgrimage to Tibet to pray for compassion and pay homage to Buddha.

Universal Prayer

O Adorable Lord of Mercy and Love !
Salutations and prostrations unto Thee.
Thou art Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient.
Thou art Existence-Consciousness-Bliss Absolute.
Thou art the Indweller of all beings.

Grant us an understanding heart,
Equal vision, balanced mind,
Faith, devotion and wisdom.
Grant us inner spiritual strength
To resist temptation and to control the mind.
Free us from egoism, lust, greed, hatred, anger and jealousy.
Fill our hearts with divine virtues.

Let us behold Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us serve Thee in all these names and forms.
Let us ever remember Thee.
Let us ever sing Thy glories.
Let Thy Name be ever on our lips.
Let us abide in Thee for ever and ever.

by Sri Swami Sivananda (September 8, 1887—July 14, 1963) a Hindu spiritual teacher and a well known proponent of Yoga and Vedanta.
