Simple Prayer

One thing that is appealing about the far Eastern religions is there simplicity. When one prays:

“May I be granted peace; may you be granted peace, may we be granted peace, and may the world be at peace.”

We first pray for ourselves, then we pray for another, next we pray for us both, and then we pray for all living beings.

I found it interesting that even the Pope asks simply for people to pray for him. If the Pope needs our prayers perhaps somewhere out there in the world is someone else who asks simply “pray for me.”

Praying for another is a lost art, but maybe one way to begin is:

“My he/she be granted peace, may we be granted peace, may the world be granted peace.

Just a thought.
