A Prayer for Myanmar

May we remember the ongoing situation in Myanmar as we go about our daily affairs. May our hopes and longings be with the Buddhist monks who manifest before our eyes the imaginative and creative power of life that is, even if we ignore it, within us all. May our minds and thoughts be continuously joined to their struggle against those who have become worshippers of death. May they be able to bring about salvation for all the people of Myanmar, including those who most resist it. With this intertwining of our spirits, may we go about, vigilant in examining our own lives, culture, cities, and nation for injustice, hatred, and evil, and be as willing to combat what is closest to us.

Peace be with us all,

Amen
