The Dalai Lama’s Favorite Prayer that Gives me Goosebumps.

THIERRY EHRMANN/FLICKR

“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
but for the patience to win my freedom.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Most of us were raised to believe that prayer is a religious duty.

I’m not “Spiritual.” I just practice being a Good Person.

Elephant is an independent, mindful media dedicated to sharing the good life beyond the choir, and to all those who didn’t yet know they give a care.
