Prayer of Light ~ Metta Meditation ~ Generation of Bodhicitta ~ Four Immeasurables

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- This is a Universal Prayer applicable for any spiritual or religious context and practice. It focuses on developing and generating love or loving kindness and compassion (metta and karuna), peace (equanimity/upekkha), and light (wisdom, joy: mudita). It is both a healing and protective prayer for oneself and others. If practiced with ease, presence, and sincerity it is very powerful and transformative.
It can be used to engender the sublime qualities of love, peace and light and to radiate these in all directions - to all beings and to the entire Universe. The practice of such a meditation was said by the Buddha to bring innumerable benefits and there are eleven specific benefits mentioned in the Pali Suttas:
𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧)
1. You will sleep easily
2. You will wake easily
3. You will have pleasant dreams
4. People will love you
5. Devas (gods or angels) and animals will love you
6. Devas will protect you
7. External dangers, such as poisons, weapons, and fire, will not harm you
8. Your face will be radiant
9. Your mind will be serene
10. You will die unconfused
11. You will be re-born in happy realms
(𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝟏𝟏.𝟏𝟔)
The origins of the Prayer of Light has its roots in an ancient Islamic prayer and this specific wording/format was created by Dr. Joseph Michael Levry.

Thankyou again for the wonderful gifts that you give us all. I have benefited so much from your wisdom and the wisdom of the traditions whether they be Dzogchen, Advaita or Rhineland mysticism. I meditate for an hour or so every day and just let the words go to work inside my empty but aware extended cognition.
Sorry to hijack your thing, but I thought I might recommend a couple of books that have helped me to understand the foundational wisdom traditions of the west more deeply. One is 'Neoplatonic mysticism; by Arthur Versluis. A second is 'Thinking Being: Introduction to the Metpahysical in the Classical Tradition' by Eric Perl. I had my 'awakening' several years ago largely through turning to the East and away from the west. However, studying these books has helped me to recognize the deep wisdom that lies in the foundational sources of our own culture. I also recommend a video lecture series called "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" on youtube with John Vervaeke which gives a philosophical history of the west which attempts to explain how we got where we currently are as a culture, how we lost the wisdom traditions in our culture and how they might be recovered.
Metta, peace and love❤ to all your subscribers, followers and non-followers.
