A Prayer from Jetsunma Ahkön Lhamo
Lord Buddha, Buddha of Compassion,
Plant in my heart the seed of love,
Plant in the deepest part of me
The Light of Compassion.
Take from me all self-absorption.
Teach me to give myself over to Love.
Lord Buddha, do with me what is thy will.
Whether I am sad or human or angry.
Take from me all parts of myself.
Remove from me all obstacles for I have one purpose and one purpose only:
That where I am you might be;
That through me the Buddha of Compassion might come to the world.
I prostrate myself completely.
Let there be no self — only compassion.
Where I am let Love live.
