Buddhistisches Friedensgebet
Mögen die leiderfüllten Wesen in allen Seinsbereichen
unverzüglich von ihren Schmerzen befreit werden.
Mögen die Furchtsamen von Angst erlöst
und die Verfangenen von Verstrickungen befreit werden.
Mögen die Entmachteten Kraft finden
und alle Wesen einander wohlgesonnen sein.
Mögen alle die haltlos in der furchterregenden Wildnis
der Welt der Erscheinungsformen wandern -
die Kinder, die Alten, die Schutzlosen -
von den göttlichen Wohltätern behütet werden
und ihre ursprüngliche Buddha-Natur auf der Stelle erkennen.
And everybody has a prayer
Half way between dream and desire
In inner corners proving secret
Where infinity lives
Of its very painful beauty:
One.
A ognuno la sua preghiera
A metà tra sogno e desiderio
In angoli interni segreti al mondo
Dove l'infinito vive
Della sua stessa dolorosa bellezza:
Un uno unico.

Preghiera induista sentita, su quella magica soglia tra crepuscolo e buio, per chi ha qualcosa da desiderare e sognare. E chiedere.
Bali, Indonesia, August 2013.
A much-felt hindu prayer, on the very treshold between dusk and dark, for those who have something to desire and dream of. And ask for.

"Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

A prayer wheel is a cylindrical "wheel" on a spindle made from metal, wood, stone, leather or coarse cotton. Traditionally, the mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is written in Sanskrit on the outside of the wheel. Also sometimes depicted are the 8 auspicious symbols Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition spinning such a wheel will have much the same meritorious effect as orally reciting the prayers.

These colourful prayer flags will come to your mind whenever you think of Ladakh and any other Budhist region in the Himalayas.
Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers and mantras. Tibetan Budhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficient vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the planter and those in the vicinity.
Traditionally they are fastened to eaves or sewn onto ropes to be displayed horizontally or fastened to wooden poles for vertical display. Sets of five flags should be put in the order: yellow, green, red, white and blue (from left to right or bottom to top).
The colours represent the elements of life: earth, water, fire, cloud and sky.

Eid al-Adha ("festival of sacrifice"), also called Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival, theGreater Eid is an important 3-day religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet ʾIbrāhīm (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismā'īl (Ishmael) as an act of submission to God's command and his son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to provide Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr. The basis for the Eid al-Adha comes from the 196th verse of the 2nd sura of the Quran. The word "Eid" appears once in the 5th sura of the Quran, with the meaning "solemn festival".[5] The 3 days and 2 nights of Eid al-Adha are celebrated annually on the 10th, 11th and 12th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the twelfth and last month of the lunar Islamic calendar. In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two rakats followed by a sermon (khuṭbah). Eid al-Adha celebrations start after the descent of the Hajj from Mount Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. Ritual observance of the holiday lasts until sunset of the 12th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day. The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith as "days of remembrance". The days of Tashriq are from the Fajr of the 9th of Dhul Hijjah up to the Asr of the 13th of Dhul Hijjah (5 days and 4 nights).
Let me take this opportunity to wish my Flickr Friends a Happy Eid. May His blessings be upon all of you!! Eid Mubarak!!

Barcellona, Italy (May, 2009)
Under a full moon on top of Higger Tor, as the sun made it's final descent, three young Muslim men stand upon a huge boulder looking towards the moon.
One of them had missed last prayers at the local mosque, so with his footwear removed kneeling in the direction of the Mecca he began his prayers under the light of the moon and the fading sunlight as his two friends looked on.
What a perfect way to end a day. :-)

'As she sat staring at the water, contemplating the sad state of the world...a figure rose from within the water, head bent, hands folded, offering prayers for humanity.'
Was so amazed when the water droplets took this form...hope all of you have been wonderful...mid-week hugs for you!

What a change it would make if secret prayer were not only asking for knowledge or strength, but the giving of my life into the safekeeping of a faithful God.

On our way for a day trip to Jordan, we thought this airport policeman reciting the Quran looked interesting in the early morning light (05.33 am).
Although we did not hear the call for prayer at the airport, we could often hear it at our resort in Sharm El Sheikh and pretty much everywhere else we visited. It's quite a mystical experience for most Westerners.
Muslims pray five times a day:
1. Dawn prayer (Fajr)
2. Noon prayer (Dhuhr, Zhuhr)
3. Afternoon prayer (Asr)
4. Sunset prayer (Maghrib)
5. Evening prayer (Isha)
I'm still amazed how people can stand the oppressive heat of midday summer in the Afar Depression. We stopped in this town to have our lunch and it had to be around 100°F (38°C) and yet people are out in the sun, nowhere near any shade.

A Tibetan prayer wheel from Grandpa's travels. It lived, until this week, in his 'cabinet of precious things', which I perennially meant to photograph, but never did until this weekend; sadly, the weekend of his funeral.
I'm very glad he told me the significance of many of the items in the cabinet before he died, though. This particularly chimed with me, as did the prayer bell (pun only slightly intended).
