I believe these are written prayers within Tibetan Buddhism but I'm not sure which "culture village" this was part of. It wasn't in the Tibet area of the park but I know that culture is stong also in neighbouring provinces and peoples.
Please let me know if I'm totally off base here.
This prayer is for all my friends here on flickr and elsewhere.. may their b only joy and hope in our hearts..
Wave upon wave of grace
(A Puritan Prayer)
O God of grace,
Teach me to know that grace precedes, accompanies,
and follows my salvation; that it sustains the redeemed
soul, that not one link of its chain can ever break!
From Calvary's cross, wave upon wave of grace . . .
reaches me,
deals with my sin,
washes me clean,
renews my heart,
strengthens my will,
draws out my affection,
kindles a flame in my soul,
rules throughout my inner man,
consecrates my every thought, word, work,
teaches me Your immeasurable love.
How great are my privileges in Christ Jesus!
Without Him I stand far off, a stranger, an outcast.
In Him I draw near and touch His kingly scepter!
Without Him I dare not lift up my guilty eyes.
In Him I gaze upon my Father-God and friend!
Without Him I hide my lips in trembling shame.
In Him I open my mouth in petition and praise!
Without Him all is wrath and consuming fire.
In Him is all love, and the repose of my soul!
Without Him is gaping hell below me, and eternal anguish.
In Him its gates are barred to me by His precious blood!
Without Him darkness spreads its horrors before me.
In Him an eternity of glory is my boundless horizon!
Without Him all within me is terror and dismay. In
Him every accusation is charmed into joy and peace!
Praise be to You for grace, and for
the unspeakable gift of Jesus!

A Prayer to Keep Jesus in the Center at Christmas
Lord, We worship You during this Christmas season. You are our wonderful Counselor, mighty God, everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). We choose to put You at the center of our family life as we celebrate Your birth. Keep us from distractions and help us to invite You into all our family activities. Teach us to pray and help us to glorify and worship You in our family during this busy time of year. Give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation that we might know You better (Ephesians 1:17).
Thank you for being Immanuel, “God with us.” Open our eyes to realize this each day as we interact with others. Help us to be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as You forgave us (Ephesians 4:32). Show us creative ways to love and care for those outside our home. Fill us to overflowing with Your love for the lost. Teach us to do acts of kindness to those who are in need at this time of year. May our family be a refreshment and light to others. We ask You to touch with salvation those in our family who do not know You [Name those individuals]. Open their hearts to Your great love for them. Help us to share Your Truth and be Your light. You are the Savior of the world.
We love Your Word and choose to make it central in our family life. Your Word is alive and active—It’s sharper than any double-edged sword—It judges the thoughts and attitudes of our hearts (Hebrews 4:12). We long to align ourselves spiritually with You and Your Word every day. We want to pray your Word with Your authority, and with greater faith and obedience in our lives as we approach this New Year. We rejoice in following Your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. We meditate on Your precepts and consider Your ways. We delight in Your decrees. We will not neglect Your Word. Open our eyes that we may see wonderful things in Your law. We run in the path of Your commands, for You have set our hearts free (Psalm 119:14-16, 18, 32).
Lord, we want to be passionate about the things you are passionate about. Help each member of our family to be a student of the Bible. Teach us to pray Your Word out loud in our family devotions in such a way that we see mighty spiritual breakthroughs in our home, friends, school, and workplace. Help us declare prophetic promises and decrees from Your Word. We want to experience the life-giving power of Your Word on a daily basis in our family. Show us truth in Your Word, and bring it to life through our prayers. Open the eyes of our hearts that we may be enlightened in order to know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of our glorious inheritance in You and Your incomparable great power (Ephesians 1:18-19). In Jesus’ name, amen.

And deliver us from evil and the snare of the god of this world, of materialism, of excess, of self fulfillment...that we would bring honor to Your name, and Your name only. In Jesus Name!!

"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."

The cure rate for most childhood brain tumors is significantly lower than that for many other types of cancer, and the public remains unaware of the magnitude of this disease.
Currently, childhood glioma research is grossly underfunded. The glioma family of tumors account for almost 45% of all tumors. They are the second highest cause of cancer deaths among young people. 85-95% of children who are diagnosed with a malignant glioma die within five years. Over 97% of children with the worst of gliomas, diffuse pontine gliomas, die within two years.
This news is devastating to families who are newly diagnosed. In today's world no child should have to suffer from such a horrible disease. No family should have to endure the pain of standing by helplessly as they watch their beautiful, innocent child slowly die from an illness that takes away everything they love in life. Prayers from Maria was built out of love and compassion for these children and their families and the dire need for research.
Prayers from Maria is dedicated to funding global research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for the deadliest childhood brain tumors known as gliomas; raising public awareness about gliomas and bringing hope to children and their families who deal with the hardships of this disease.
We care about where our funding goes. With very little funds available for research, it matters where each of our grants is awarded. It is of the utmost importance that our funding support the most promising research being conducted on gliomas -- wherever that may be. The foundation’s Medical Board consists of top doctors and researchers in the world for gliomas. Funding is awarded based on their professional expertise, experience, and evaluation of grant applications received.
Thanks to the generous support of so many, Prayers from Maria has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to research of these deadly tumors in children.

A woman spins the prayer wheels at Tagong Monastery in Tagong, Garze Tibetan Autonoumous Prefecture, SIchuan China.
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.
சஞ்சலமற் றெல்லாம்நீ தானென் றுணர்ந்தேன்என்
அஞ்சலியுங் கொள்ளாய் அரசே பராபரமே !!!
தாயுமானவர் பராபரக்கண்ணி

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. :-)
Prayers written on ribbon and hung from the ceiling at St. Joseph Church in San Fransisco, California, USA
'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.'

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)
Prayer wheels at the national memorial chörten (stupa) in Thimpu, Bhutan. Taken after dusk, my guide (a guide and driver is mandatory for all non-Indian foreign visitors to Bhutan) spun the wheels just before I took the photo. The fee for the guide and driver is included in the extortionate visa price to visit the land of gross national happiness. Tuesday, when this photo was taken is "Pedestrian Day" every week in Thimpu, when all private vehicles are banned from entering the city center, vehicles carrying tourists are exempt. Locals are encouraged (no,... forced) to walk or bicycle to work that day, when gross national happiness may decline a little bit.
