GREAT PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE
Compiled by The Venerable Geshe Acharya Thubten
Loden
Spiritual Head and Leader
Tibetan Buddhist Society
May all living beings be adorned with
love,
Compassion, joy and equanamity
May they possess generosity,
ethics,
Patience, effort, concentration and
wisdom.
Thus by the virtue collected
Through all that I have done
May the pain of every living being
Be completely cleared away.
May I be the doctor and the
medicine
And may I be the nurse
For all sick beings in the world
Until everyone is healed.
May a rain of food and drink
descend
To clear away the pain of thirst and
hunger,
And during the aeon of famine,
May I myself change into food and
drink.
May I become an inexhaustible
treasure
For those who are poor and
destitute;
May I turn into all things they could
need
And may these be placed close beside
them.
Without any sense of loss
I shall give up my body and
enjoyments
As well as all my virtues of the three
times
For the sake of benefitting all.
May I be a protector for those without
one,
A guide for all travellers on the
way;
May I be a bridge, a boat and a
ship
For all those who wish to cross the
water.
May I be an island for those who seek
one,
And a lamp for those desiring
light.
May I be a bed for all who wish to
rest,
And a slave for all who want a
slave.
Just like space
And the great elements such as
earth,
May I always support the life
Of all the boundless creatures.
May the blind see forms,
May the deaf hear sounds,
And just as a rainbow arises naturally from
space,
May pregnant women give birth without
pain.
May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food;
May the thirsty find water
And delicious drinks.
May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy;
May the forlorn find new hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.
May all who are sick and ill
Quickly be freed from their
illness,
And may every disease in the world
Never occur again.
May the frightened cease to be
afraid
And those bound be freed;
May the powerless find power,
And may people think of benefitting one
another.
May all sentient beings have all the stainless
powers,
Freedom from all conditions of
non-leisure
Freedom of action
And good livelihood.
May embodied beings have good
complexion,
Good physique, great beauty, a pleasant
appearance,
Freedom from disease,
Power and long life.
May I always be an object of
enjoyment
For all sentient beings according to their
wish
And without interference as are the
earth,
Water, fire, wind, medicine and
forests.
May I be as dear to sentient beings as
their
Own life and may they be very dear to
me.
May their negativities ripen for me
And all my virtues for them.
May I give profit and victory to
others,
And take loss and defeat for
myself.
May I abandon selfishly cherishing
myself,
And continuously practice cherishing
others.
As long as any sentient being
Anywhere has not been liberated,
May I remain in the world for his
sake
Even though I have attained
enlightenment.
May all worldly beings
Never experience war, fighting or
conflict
And forever remain without bad
conditions,
Such as earthquakes, disease or
drought.
May peace pervade the hearts of all
That they will ever abide in joy and
abundance.
