Today’s Reflection: Loosen the Bonds of Suffering

May all beings everywhere
plagued with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.

May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending one another. – Traditional Buddhist prayer
