                                 prayer

  His Holiness the Dalai Lama offered the following prayer:
  Firstly, as usual, I am a Buddhist monk--a simple Buddhist monk--so 
we pray to Buddha and all other Gods.
  With our thoughts we make our world. Our mind is central and precedes 
our deeds. Speak or act with a pure mind, and happiness will follow you 
like a shadow that never leaves.
  May there be joy in the world, with bountiful harvest and spiritual 
wealth. May every good fortune come to be, and may all our wishes be 
fulfilled. As long as space remains, and as long as sentient beings 
remain, until then, may I too remain and help dispel the misery of the 
world.
