Kuan Yin's 'Prayer for the Abuser'

Submitted by Pierre Terre on July 13, 2009 - 11:55

We do not often hear of such compassion that there is prayer for the one who has abused others.

Yet many make such prayers. After an attrocity, praying for the well-being and healing of an abuser can be a act of supreme love. So when facing ghastly crimes that so often cause anger, Kuan Yin's 'Prayer for the Abuser' recalls for us the source of so much of the pain within the one causing damage - and askes for forgiveness.

Jonathan Granoff submitted this prayer for us to remember

Love, Pierre
