May I be generous.
May I cultivate integrity and respect.
May I be patient and see clearly the suffering of others.
May I be energetic, steadfast, and wholehearted.
May I cultivate a calm and inclusive mind and heart so I can compassionately serve all beings.
May I nurture wisdom and impart the benefit of any insight I may have to others.
To Practice: Offer all of the above as a meditation prayer or practice with just one of them, "letting it soak into [your] marrow."
— Joan Halifax in Standing at the Edge
