All praises be to ALLAH,
He who created us, and to Whom we shall return.
Ya rabbi ya Kariim,
Shower your blessings unto the holy prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and faithful companions
Ya Allah Ya Rahmaan!
Please open the doors of your hikmah
And spread your blessings on all of us
May we embrace it fully ...
O the Almighty Allah,
We pray that You’ll bless our congregation today,
From the start till the very end ...
We are so blessed to be here, to play and share with a group of the very best,
Please help us embrace and work with the Chinese government, to help them overcome all forms of human rights violations and soon bestow those same rights and privileges enjoyed by Chinese people to Tibetan people, so that both peoples can work together in genuine cooperation based upon mutual respect, towards the benefit of all.
Please tie our hearts together with mutual love and care in order to make us compassionate human beings. Make us understand that You created us different but with the same cause.
May the bond of friendship and ukhwah we have built here grow stronger every day and last for eternity
Ya Zal Fadli Wal Imtinan ...
Allow us to apply all the good things we have learned here and leave aside all the bad things and memories,
May we walk out this place as a better person,
Both as a student and as Your servant, who have faith on you ...
O the Almighty Allah,
Deep in our heart, we pray that You bless the Chinese and Tibetan governments, and all the people of China and Tibet
Prayer by Satish Kumar
Mother Teresa used this prayer by Satish Kumar, previously been a Jain monk, a follower of Gandhi and a nuclear disarmament advocate.Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth;
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to trust;
Lead me from hate to hope,
from war to peace;
Let peace fill our hearts,
our world, our universe. Amen
Christian prayer
Make your ways known upon earth, Lord God,
your saving power among all peoples.
Renew your Church in holiness
and help us to serve you with joy.
Guide the leaders of this and every nation,
that justice may prevail throughout the world.
Let not the needy be forgotten,
nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Make us instruments of your peace
and let your glory be over all the earth. Amen
Buddhist prayer: Words of Truth
By His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lamahttp://www.dalailama.com/page.21.htm
Honoring and Invoking the Great Compassion of the Three Jewels; the Buddha, the Teachings, and the Spiritual Community
O Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and disciples of the past, present, and future:
Having remarkable qualities
Immeasurably vast as the ocean,
Who regard all helpless sentient beings as your only child;
Please consider the truth of my anguished pleas.
Buddha's full teachings dispel the pain of worldly existence and self-oriented peace;
May they flourish, spreading prosperity and happiness through-out this spacious world.
O holders of the Dharma: scholars and realized practitioners;
May your ten fold virtuous practice prevail.
Humble sentient beings, tormented by sufferings without cease,
Completely suppressed by seemingly endless and terribly intense, negative deeds,
May all their fears from unbearable war, famine, and disease be pacified,
To freely breathe an ocean of happiness and well-being.
And particularly the pious people of the Land of Snows who, through various means,
Are mercilessly destroyed by barbaric hordes on the side of darkness,
Kindly let the power of your compassion arise,
To quickly stem the flow of blood and tears.
Those unrelentingly cruel ones, objects of compassion,
Maddened by delusion's evils, wantonly destroy themselves and others;
May they achieve the eye of wisdom, knowing what must be done and undone,
And abide in the glory of friendship and love.
May this heartfelt wish of total freedom for all Tibet,
Which has been awaited for a long time, be spontaneously fulfilled;
Please grant soon the good fortune to enjoy
The happy celebration of spiritual with temporal rule.
O protector Chenrezig, compassionately care for
Those who have undergone myriad hardships,
Completely sacrificing their most cherished lives, bodies, and wealth,
For the sake of the teachings, practitioners, people, and nation.
Thus, the protector Chenrezig made vast prayers
Before the Buddhas and Bodhisativas
To fully embrace the Land of Snows;
May the good results of these prayers now quickly appear.
By the profound interdependence of emptiness and relative forms,
Together with the force of great compassion in the Three Jewels and their Words of Truth,
And through the power of the infallible law of actions and their fruits,
May this truthful prayer be unhindered and quickly fulfilled.
