By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.

Three years ago I was very sick. It was a dark time for me and finding the light was the last thing on my list. Then a friend of mine introduced me to this Buddhist prayer. I printed it out and hung it in my office so I could read it everyday. In time, I healed my spirit- something that is much more difficult than healing your body. Wounds heal, the body will always find a way to heal itself. But the mind and the spirit, require effort. You have to listen to yourself and forgive yourself, allowing time for your spirit to heal.

Now I am passing this prayer onto you- in the hopes that it brings you healing. Read the words and carry them with you or print them out like I did and put them up somewhere you can see them everyday.

Buddhist Healing Prayer

Just as the soft rains fill the streams,
pour into the rivers, and join together in the oceans,
so may the power of every moment of your goodness
flow forth to awaken and heal all beings–
those here now, those gone before, those yet to come.

By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may your heart’s wishes be soon fulfilled
as completely shining as the bright full moon,
as magically as by a wish-fulfilling gem.

By the power of every moment of your goodness,
may all dangers be averted and all disease be gone.
May no obstacle come across your way.
May you enjoy fulfillment and long life.

For all in whose heart dwells respect,
who follow the wisdom and compassion, of the Way,
may your life prosper in the four blessings
of old age, beauty, happiness and strength.

I hope this will heal you as it healed me those years ago.

Namaste,

xoxo
