pray for knowledge and light

paul newman, bodhisattva

 

Mentally repeat,

‘Let all beings be happy;

let all beings be peaceful; let all

beings be blissful.’ So do to the east,

south, north and west. The more you do

that the better you will feel yourself. You will

find at last that the easiest way to make ourselves

healthy is to see that others are healthy, and the

easiest way to make ourselves happy is to see

that others are happy. After doing that,

those who believe in God should pray—

not for money, not for health, nor

for heaven; pray for knowledge

and light; every other

prayer is selfish.
