I chose to bring Kuan Yin with me to yesterdays workshop— something I never do. I always bring Gaia for the altar space but Kuan Yin joined us to wrap us in her mothering energy & remind us to mother one another with gentle acts of kindness through times of change🪽
There is a lot of urgency, sorrow, & anger running through the collective right now I hope this pray to Kuan Yin brings peace where there is conflict within you or around you🫂
Sorrow & Hope
A prayer to Kuan Yin💜🕉️💜
Kuan Yin, you who hears the cries of the world, please listen to our outpouring of sorrow and hope.
Just as when frightened, children seek protection and refuge in their mothers comforting arms, so do we children of the Dharma seek protection and refuge in you when saddened and horrified by the suffering of samsãra.
But who are you? You are nothing other than wisdom and compassion— the wisdom and compassion of all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and our own latent wisdom and compassion that can grow to become like yours.
In tragedy May we turn to wisdom and compassion and be comforted by its protective embrace. Seeing that all beings seek only happiness never misery, may we abandon despair, anger and blame.
May all those who suffer from loss and grief, from horror and outrage, becomes fountains of wisdom and compassion flowing out to the world and healing beings pain.
May all those who have died in avoidable tragedies release all attachments to this life and go on to the next with their hearts of wisdom and compassion.
And with love, may we send them on with prayers that they be born in your pure land.
By holding ourselves and others responsible for our misdeeds, May we too hear the cries of the world. And with compassion, May all of us overcome the self centered attitude and create a better world— one in which everyone seeks to benefit one another💜🕉️💜
May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be awakened to to light of their true nature.
May all beings be free.🤲🏽
