Monthly Prayer


Medicine Buddha


Medicine Buddha is the King of Healing.

This image I dedicate to all who seek a
long life in remission - Cancer Free . . .

Invoke the following mantra, the sound which is the name of the Medicine Buddha. (The Medicine Buddha is blue coloured like the sky because his knowledge is all-pervading. The Medicine Buddha has the power of aspiration so if you intuitively image the Medicine Buddha you well share that power as well.) The sound alone may benefit people with many different conditions of disease:

TA YA TA / OM BE KAN DZE / BE KAN DZE
MA HA BE KAN DZE / RA DZA
SA MUNG GA TE / SO HA

This image was originally found at the Virtual Thangka Gallery and it is also dedicated to the long life of
His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Lama Zopa Rinpoche,
Lama Tenzin Osel Rinpoche and to the health
and well-being of all sentient beings


Saint Theresa's Prayer


May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content knowing you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.


My Name is “I AM”

I was regretting the past and fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking,

“My name is I AM”

He paused. I waited. He continued.

“When you live in the past with its mistakes
and regrets, it is hard. I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

When you live in the future with its problems
and fears, it is hard. I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment, it is not hard.

I am here.

My Name is

“I AM”


Flame of My Heart



I bear witness to the Flame in your Heart
For I have seen that precious light
The light of love you hold so dear
Ive never seen it quite this clear

Im in love and gratitude to you
For sharing your Sacred Flame with me
The light of love you hold so dear
Ive never seen it quite this clear

This flame of truth that judges not
But warms the Hearts of those it can
The light of love you hold so dear
Ive never seen it quite this clear

It moves freely in the Dance of Life
Spreading such a strong sense of Joy
The light of love you hold so dear
Ive never seen it quite this clear

Thankyou for sharing a dance with me
My light is much brighter because of thee
The light of love you hold so dear
Now burns brightly inside of me so clear

In love and gratitude to you always


The Rain

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

In the Center of My Being

Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of love. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply is endless. The use of love makes me feel good, it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself, therefore, I take loving care of my body. I lovingly feed it nourishing food and beverages, I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself, therefore, I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel the love and be nourished by it.

I love myself, therefore, I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people that I love and that love me, and earning a good income.

I love myself therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people, for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied. I only attract loving people in my world for they are a mirror of what I am.

I love myself therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences and I am free.

I love myself therefore, I love totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright and joyous, and secure for I am a beloved child of the universe and the universe lovingly takes care of me now and forever more. And so it is.

Free at Last

In the infinity of life where I am,
all is perfect, whole, and complete.
I now choose calmly and objectively to see my old patterns,
and I am willing to make changes.
I am teachable. I can learn. I am willing to change.
I choose to have fun doing this.
I choose to react as though I have found a treasure
when I discover something else to release.
I see and feel myself changing moment by moment.
Thoughts no longer have any power over me.
I am the power in the world. I choose to be free.
All is well in my world.

Every loving thought we think is a powerful key.  Through prayer, meditation, and the silence of profound stillness we can make the changes we would like to see in the world.

Prayer of the Light

In this moment I recognized within me this perfect light
A light that is not weak but strong
Not in pain, but in peace
I invoke this light
I receive my heaven on earth
I do not look back, instead
I step out of my weakness, into my strengths
Out of my fear, into my love
Out of my small self, into my Whole
Merging with the oneness of my truth
I am that, I am
Forever and Ever . . .

Gratitude for the Body

Dear God,
As I rise up, I thank You for the opportunity to be on this earth.
I thank You for my mind and body.
I thank You for my life.
Please bless my body and use it for Your purposes.
May I rise up strong today, and may my body and soul radiate Your love.
May all impurities be cast out of my mind, my heart, my body.
May every cell of my being be filled with Your light.
May my body and mind both be illumined for Your sake and for the sake of all the world.
Amen.

Sun Mantra

Given by Ram Dass 

This mantra means:

All evil vanishes from life for he who keeps the sun in his heart.

Sun shines on everyone, giving light and love. We and the sun are one. We meet in our hearts in the light; we keep becoming the light, giving off light to everyone.

Ecstasy
    - by St. John of the Cross

I entered into unknowing,
and there I remained unknowing
transcending all knowledge.

I entered into unknowing,
yet when I saw myself there,
without knowing where I was,
I understood great things;
I will not say what I felt
for I remained in unknowing
transcending all knowledge.

That perfect knowledge
was of peace and holiness
held at no remove
in profound solitude;
it was something so secret
that I was left stammering,
transcending all knowledge.

I was so 'whelmed,
so absorbed and withdrawn,
that my senses were left
deprived of all their sensing,
and my spirit was given
an understanding while not understanding,
transcending all knowledge.

He who truly arrives there
cuts free from himself;
all that he knew before
now seems worthless,
and his knowledge so soars
that he is left in unknowing
transcending all knowledge.

The higher he ascends
the less he understands,
because the cloud is dark
which lit up the night;
whoever knows this
remains always in unknowing
transcending all knowledge.

This knowledge in unknowing
is so overwhelming
that wise men disputing
can never overthrow it,
for their knowledge does not reach
to the understanding of not understanding,
transcending all knowledge.

And this supreme knowledge
is so exalted
that no power of man or learning
can grasp it;
he who masters himself
will, with knowledge in unknowing,
always be transcending.

And if you should want to hear:
this highest knowledge lies
in the loftiest sense
of the essence of God;
this is a work of his mercy,
to leave one without understanding,
transcending all knowledge.

San Juan de la Cruz
