May All Beings...

[Lee]

I thought folks might find this interesting. It sounds like a
Tibetan dedicatory prayer:

"We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations, may have
their great human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity
shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may
experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will
understand, also, its heavy responsibilities; that all who are
insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the
scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear
from the earth, and that, in the goodness of time, all peoples will
come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of
mutual respect and love."

Dwight Eisenhower Farewell Address (January 17, 1961)

I have been researching some of Eisenhower's and Teddy Roosevelt's
speeches and came across this.
