May suffering arising from hatred be remedied.

May those in the grip of fear be released to the safety of understanding.

May those lost in confusion find relief in wisdom.

May those in refugee camps find their way home.

May those who are unsheltered find a safe harbor in community.

May those suffering from grief and the ravages of war find peace.

May those who care for the wounded and sick find support as they serve others.

May those who have died in the ravages of war be liberated from confusion.

May all awaken and awaken others.

Roshi Joan Halifax
