Introduction

This heartfelt prayer was written by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso for the children’s coloring book Animal Friends at the US Kadampa World Peace Temple. It reads:

May every living being be happy,
May all hatred and harming stop in this world,
May everyone love one another perfectly, like Buddha does,
And may every living being find a meaningful life.

This prayer is a very powerful way to help others, including our animal friends. It is a prayer for World Peace!

And through our good and kind actions, our strong prayers, and with help and blessings from Buddha, we can be sure the peaceful, loving world we pray for will definitely appear someday.
