Prayer for HAPPINESS and Well-Being

What can you do when the world seems to be in crisis? When you've done all you can, but the need is still acute? Have you ever turned to prayer?

Christine Lambie presents the traditional Sanskrit mantra or prayer for wellbeing:

sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ May all be happy
sarve santu nirāmayāḥ. may all be free from disease.
sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu May all creatures have wellbeing
mā kaścid duḥkhabhāgbhavet. and none be in misery of any sort.

We can repeat this mantra and be filled with compassion and loving kindness. But can this prayer ever be fulfilled? Can everyone be happy or without disease?

Sukha and duhkha, usually translated as pleasure and pain, are interesting words, meaning very literally a 'good space' and a 'bad space'. But there's more to it than that!

Instead we can take this as a statement of intent. We can intend that we will live, speak and act in such a way that everyone we come into contact with may be happy, healthy, and seeing good things.

Prayer without action might not help the person in need enough. Action without emotional goodness might be insensitive.
