A “Prayer for Internet Practice” has made its way to the web – with its own Facebook page, naturally. “This prayer,” the page explains, “was requested of Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche to help dharma students surf the waves of attraction and distraction on the Internet and turn them to practice.”

It’s not the first time Rinpoche has addressed the online realm so pointedly – see also his “Social Media Guidelines.”

Prayer for Internet Practice

Namo ākāśagarbhāya oṃ ārya kamari mauli svāhā

Oh bodhisattva mahasattva!

As I prostrate at your lotus feet,

I offer everything I can name and understand,

And all my mind’s conjurings,

As well as everything that exists, inconceivable and undreamed of,

Throughout immeasurable space.

To you, who are the very essence of space,

I offer praise.

Bless this cyber-space with comfort, bliss and enlightenment—

May it be of benefit to myself and others.

Unburden our misgivings;

Purify all that sullies and despoils us,

And the profligate displays,

That throng and colour this space.

Can you help us at a critical time?

COVID-19 has brought tremendous suffering, uncertainty, fear, and strain to the world.

Our sincere wish is that these Buddhist teachings, guided practices, and stories can be a balm in these difficult times. Over the past month, over 400,000 readers like you have visited our site, reading almost a million pages and streaming over 120,000 hours of video teachings. We want to provide even more Buddhist wisdom but our resources are strained. Can you help us?

No one is free from the pandemic’s impact, including Lion’s Roar. We rely significantly on advertising and newsstand sales to support our work — both of which have dropped precipitously this year. Can you lend your support to Lion’s Roar at this critical time?

    Prayer for Internet Practice makes a great "home" page. Helps to remember to say it when it's the first thing you see upon opening your browser.
    By the way, thank you for keeping DJKR's article on the "Four Seals of Dharma" (link above) in the on-line archive and available. It is far and away the piece on Buddhism that I share most often with curious friends.
    Thanks, Shambhala Sun!
