Bodhisattva Prayer for Humanity (Buddhist – “bo-dih-sat-va” – a person who is able to reach nirvana but delays doing so out of compassion in order to save suffering beings)
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.
