Buddhist Song. This is a prayer by Master Shantideva and edited by HIs Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. Thankyou to Leanne Hogan for lead vocals and Thankyou to the translators of the prayer/book chapter by Master Shantideva.
I try to make music that can benefit others and if it gets stuck in your head I hope it does only good.
Story behind the song
My Teacher Ven.Thubten Tenzin asked me to put this prayer to music and make it sound like Bob Dylan. My Mother didnt like ruffing up her voice.
Lyrics
May all beings everywhere, plagued by suffering of body and mind, obtain an ocean of happiness and joy by virtue of my merits. May no living creature suffer, commit evil or ever fall ill. May no one be afraid or belittled with a mind weighed down by depression.
May the blind see forms and the deaf hear sounds. May those whose bodies are worn with toil, be restored on finding repose. May the naked find clothing the hungry find food. May the thirsty find water and delicious drinks.
May the poor find wealth, those weak with sorrow find joy. May the forlorn find hope constant happiness and prosperity. May there be timely rains and bountiful harvests. May all medicines be effective and wholesome prayers bear fruit.
May all who are sick and ill quickly be greed from their ailments. Whatever diseases there are in the world may they never occur again. May the frightened cease to be afraid and those bound be freed.
May the powerless find power and may people think of benefiting each other.
