Prayer Offered for May 9, 2019

This prayer is prayed each morning by His Holiness the Dalai Lama

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.
