Buddhist Prayers/Sadhanas
Creating a Circle of Buddhists to Pray and Distribute Merit for Those in Need


A place for Buddhists of every tradition to bring prayer requests, and requests for accumulation and transference of merit and sadhanas to those in need.

Buddhism has many facets, but a common denominator is compassion. The Bodhisattva vow is our example of self-giving and caring for others. Our prayers, sadhanas, meditations and daily activities can (and should) be offered for the benefit of all sentient beings, or for specific persons. In this circle, Buddhists and their friends can request (and give) compassionate assistance in an atmosphere of Dharma. All Buddhists are welcome to participate, and share their suggestions for spiritual activities that generate and distribute compassion. Persons of all belief systems are very welcome also. To our evangelical Christian friends: welcome to our circle! You are our brothers and sisters in the spiritual journey. Your prayers are welcomed and appreciated. But no proselytizing messages, please! This is a house of prayer, not a debating hall. May all sentient beings be healthy and happy!

I pray for the happiness of all beings. I pray that I may treat all beings with lovingkindness. I pray that my acts of lovingkindness inspires acts of lovingkindness in others, which begins an epidemic of lovingkindness. I pray for Bob N., who is beginnning the end of this life, and for his wife Cindy who is suffering with him.

3/2/01 01:49 Psalm 115-

Not to us, O Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and
faithfulness.
Why do the nations say,
"Where is their God?"
Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
But their idols are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;
they have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but they cannot smell;
they have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but they cannot walk;
nor can they utter a sound with their
throats.
Those who make them will be like
them,
and so will all who trust in them.
O house of Israel, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
You who fear him, trust in the Lord-
he is their help and shield.
The Lord remembers us and will bless
us:
He will bless the house of Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron,
he will bless those who fear the
Lord-
small and great alike.
May the Lord make you increase,
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
The highest heavens belong to the
Lord,
but the earth he has given to man.
It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who go down to silence;
it is we who extol the Lord,
both now and forevermore.
Praise the Lord.

May all beings come into the sacred happiness which is sorrowless.

May all beings be free from sorrow and the causes of sorrow.

May lovingkindness light the world and free humankind from the chains of hatred and darkness.

May all the above prayers be answered affirmatively. May hope & light be for all who look for it.

May my thoughts&actions stem from compassion, believing in the dignity of all beings who inhabit this world. May I use my gifts to help & heal those I come across, even in my own long dark night. May my anger, weariness, and impatience be transformed into the soil that nourishes compassion, understanding, and warmth for others and myself. May God assist me in these endeavours.

May all beings be happy, short, tall, broad or small, may all without exception be happy.Please pray for my future husband, Micheal E. Allen, who is trying to come to terms with the death of his mother, and who is in a situation that needs a beautiful happy outcome, i love you all, and may you all be blessed with joy, happieness, and inspiration...

This poem is my gift to you, written from my heart, the heart of the bliss...

REMEMBER YOU.....

We all have reason for being who we are.
Within reason we follow our paths, the paths unknown to us at the time, but very known to us before we begin our journey.
know that the path that you are on, you chose.And also know that you would not choose an obstacle that you cannot overcome.
We are always surrounded by just the right element for whatever reason.
We are always in just the right situation, again, for whatever reason.
We are always made to love just the right people for whatever reason.
I do know this, that my moves i make, should be backed by purity and love.I also know that whatever i choose to do should be done whole-heartedly and unselfish.
I accept my obstacles because i know that me myself, and the most high, would not of given me anything that i did not think would help my journey, so i accept my obstacles with love.
I guarantee that if you follow those simple principles, regardless of your beliefs, you will overcome any obstacle, if you just...REMEMBER YOU!
