       Prayer for transcendence

May sorrow show me the way to compassion.

May I come to recognize the gift of my loved one's death by opening my ear of compassion.

May I realize grace in the midst of suffering.

May this experience in some way be a blessing for me.

May loving-kindness sustain me.

May love fill and heal my body and mind.

May I be peaceful and let go of expectations.

May I find peace and strength that I may use my resources to help others.

May I receive the love and compassion of others.

May all those who are grieving be released from their suffering.

May I offer love, knowing that I cannot control the course of life, suffering, or death. 

       Forgiveness

May I let go of guilt and resentment.

May I forgive myself for mistakes made and things left undone.

May I forgive and be forgiven.

May I forgive myself for not meeting my loved ones' needs.

May I accept my human limitations with compassion.

       Coming home

May I be open to the true nature of life.

May I open to the unknown as I let go of the known.

May I offer gratitude to those around me.

May I be grateful for this life.

May I and all beings live and die peacefully.
