For Our World | A Buddhist Prayer for All

May every breath I breathe, help relieve the suffering of the many.
May every step I take, be on the path of truth.
May my eyes see myself in all living beings.
May my heart do the work that compassion demands.
May I feel every tear, every hurt, every need.
May I touch with sacred hands.
May my body be a bridge, and my spirit healing ointment.
May my words fall like rain on the desert of need.
May I give without hesitation, and without expectation.
May I grasp the hand that needs help, and let go of all else.
May my life be both prayer, and the much needed answer.
May my identity be both lost and found in all living beings!
