Shantideva’s Prayer, as recited by Rev. Patricia Mushim Patricia Ikeda, East Bay Meditation Center

May I be a protector to those without protection, A leader to those who journey,
A boat, a bridge, a passage to those desiring the shore of non-suffering.
May the pain of every living creature Be completely cleared away
May I be the doctor, and the medicine, and may I be the nurse for all sick beings until everyone is healed.
Just like space And the great elements such as Earth may I always support the life of all the many creatures.
And until they pass away from pain, may I also be the source of life for all the realms of varied beings that reach into the ends of space.

Oração composta pelo mestre Shantideva no século VIII

Publicado em 15 de outubro de 2015 por Tudo Positivo

Que eu me torne em todos os momentos, agora e para sempre,

Um protetor para os sem proteção,
Um guia para aqueles que perderam o seu caminho,
Um navio para os que têm oceanos a cruzar,
Uma ponte para aqueles com rios para atravessar,
Um santuário para aqueles em perigo,
Uma lâmpada para aqueles sem luz,
Um lugar de refúgio para aqueles que não têm abrigo,
E um servo para todos que precisam.
