Prayers for the plane accident in the French Alps

Post by Ambrosius80 »

All 150 passengers and crew on an Airbus A320 flying from Barcelona to Düsseldorf are believed dead after it rapidly lost height and began an as yet unexplained descent into a remote and mountainous area of southern France.

It appears the co-pilot was suffering from an incurable illness, and committed suicide by locking himself in the cockpit and steering the plane against a mountainside. By crashing the plane, he also killed over 150 people along with himself. By doing so, he has caused vast amounts of negative karma. We should therefore pray for his consciousness most likely suffering in the hell realms, as well as for all the other people who were in the plane to achieve a good rebirth.

From the Golden Light Sutra:
"By the thunder of that mighty drum,
May all beings come to possess the voice of Brahma,
May they attain the most blessed Enlightenment of the Buddhas,
May they turn the virtuous Wheel of Doctrine,
May they live for unimaginable eons,
May they teach the way for the welfare of wanderers,
May they relieve suffering and destroy afflictions,
and may they extinguish desire, hatred and delusion.
May those beings who abide in places of tortured existence,
those whose bodies and bones are burning in flames of pain,

May they hear the beating of the drum
and may they cry, ‘I bow to you, the Buddhas.’
May all beings remember their births
in hundreds of lives,
in thousands of lives,
in tens of millions of lives.
May they be ever mindful of the Lords of Sages
and may they heed their vast words."
Namo Shakyamuni Buddha!
Namo Amitabha Buddha!
Namo Kwan Yin Bodhisattva!
Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!

"What we have now is the best. He who can never be satisfied is a poor man, no matter how much he owns.

What you have results from karmic causes that you created, and what you'll gain hinges on karmic causes that you're creating."
