Tibetan Bhuddist Prayer

"May I be the doctor and the medicine.
May I be the nurse for all sick beings in the world, until everyone is healed.

May I be the protector for those without one,
May I be a bridge, a boat, a ship for all who wish to cross the water.
"


I love this prayer. It is one of my favorite prayers of all time. Every time that I think it/pray it, I understand it with greater and greater depth. You can't understand it if you take the words very literally. But, when you read it and think about it, you will understand it more and more. I would tell you what it means to me, but what's the fun in that? It might mean something different to you.

See, when you read it, you have to clear your mind of everything else and open up your heart. You can't try to understand it. It just sort of comes to you through your heart. Be open.


I also thought about that Tibetan saying again tonight, "When you embrace your enemy, his fingers cannot point back at you." I am still trying to embrace my pain as my teacher. This is almost as difficult as practicing compassion. But, also, almost as important. It is so hard to do. I just want to throw the pain off like an old coat. It's so last season! lol But, instead, I'm given the challenge to embrace it's lessons. I don't want to do it, but fighting it only seems to make matters worse. It's hard to explain.
