Prayers for Grigoris's Brother

Post by Dan74 »

I've just heard that Grigoris has had to urgently fly to London to see his brother who's had a massive heart attack. The prospects are not good.

Some may be moved to say a few words of prayer or send a personal message of support.

May they both be well.
May Greg's brother, if he passes away, encounter a fortunate rebirth.

May they both be well. Wherever they go, may they always be protected by the Buddhas compassion, in this life and the next. 🙏

oh dear, sorry to hear this. i will include both in my afternoon session. ma they have happiness and the causes of happiness. may they be free from suffering and the causes of suffering, may they never be separated from the sublime happiness that is free from suffering, may they rest in the boundless equanimity that is free from attachment (to those they hold) near and aversion (to those they hold) distant.

So sorry to hear this, Greg. May your brother heal quickly, and if that is not possible, may he receive an auspicious rebirth.

Prayer To Be Reborn in Dewachen:

May we take birth in Dewachen.
Once we’re born there, may the lotus open;
In that body, may we be enlightened.
Thus fully awakened, may our emanations
Guide living beings ’til the end of time.

A Sukavati Prayer:

All you sentient beings, I have a good or bad connection with,
As soon as you have left, this confused dimension,
May you be born, in the west in Sukavati,
And once you're born there, complete the bhumis and the paths
- Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso

we talk a lot about suffering, illness and death, but when it happens near people it is difficult.

Thank you for your wishes people.

Unfortunately my brother ended up dying on Monday morning. Actually, I believe his dying was the better of the two options available, as the other one was that he remained a "vegetable", something I am sure my brother would never have wanted.

Still in London sorting out the final details before his body is shipped back to Greece for a (Greek Orthodox) burial. Something I am also sure my brother would never have wanted, but we are doing it mainly to ease my parents suffering.

OM AMI DEWA HRIH
May he and all sentient beings be born in Amitabha Buddha's pureland.

OM TARE TOUTTARE TOURE SOHA
May all sentient beings be protected from untimely death.

I have more issues dealing with my parent's grief, than my brother's death. I did the requisite prayers and said my goodbyes, so...

It's always shit to outlive your kids. May your parents find solace in their own faith, and may your brothers funeral be peaceful.
