Prayers & Puja Texts

Before me, in the sky of light, Upon a lotus, sun, and moon, Sits my root and kindest guru, Buddha Shakyamuni, the Victorious One. Golden and radiant, peaceful in form, Right hand touches earth, left holds nectar. Smiling with love, he gazes toward me — With deep faith I bow before them.

To think:

Recalling all beings lost in suffering. Now with this precious human life, May I awaken for the sake of all. I take refuge in Guru, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha. Through their blessing and boundless love, May I swiftly reach enlightenment — For the benefit of every being.
