Prayers for the Buddhist violence in Burma

[Boomerang]

There is a lot of suffering happening in Burma/Myanmar right now, with militant Buddhists participating in violent hate crimes against Burma's minority Muslim population. Beings are losing their precious human lives. Please pray for peace and the reestablishment of proper dharma in Burma. Pray for all sentient beings to be healed of their afflictive emotions. Pray for those monks who are in danger of plummeting into the lower realms.

Why is there communal violence in Myanmar

[PadmeSamadhi]

I'm just confused how should we pray about this, I think I will start praying against heretic views, maybe that's the best.

Along with your prayer of peace some Loving Kindness practice and a dedication of merit ...

Thank you for sharing this; will certainly do so;

Dear PadmeSamadhi,

Energy of mindfulness and love is the best way I know how.

May all beings be happy
May all beings be at peace,
May all beings be healthy


it is beautiful and fantastic. . . it is a energy that counteracts fire with water in a sense. . . in a real sense.

sharing peace with the world is like that. . .


do not worry at all if it seems a lot;

it is really not a lot.




will spend time on this issue in meditation and prayer, dear boomerang, again thank you.

I like Shantideva's dedication:


by Shantideva

May all beings everywhere
Plagued by sufferings of body and mind
Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy
By virtue of my merits.

May no living creature suffer,
Commit evil or ever fall ill.
May no one be afraid or belittled,
With a mind weighed down by depression.

May the blind see forms,
And the deaf hear sounds.
May those whose bodies are worn with toil
Be restored on finding repose.

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 hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity.

May all who are ill or injured
Quickly be freed from their ailments.
Whatever diseases there are in the world,
May these 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 benefiting each other.

For as long as space endures
And as long as living beings remain,
Until then may I too abide
To dispel the misery of the world.

[joy&peace]
