In May, Maria Manetti Farrow, student of Chagdud Rinpoche, journeyed to the Soviet Union at the invitation of Raisa Gorbachev, as part of "The Friends of Raisa Gorbachev" organization's successful fundraising efforts to bring Soviet scholars to Stanford University. Maria has said of her visit, "My personal motivation in visiting Mrs. Gorbachev was to bring a spiritual message from Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche to help her in her distress over the present unstable situation in the Soviet Union. The aspirations of Mrs. Gorbachev are Patience, Peace and Nonviolence. Her face lit up when I undid the scroll that contained the prayer and when I presented two of Rinpoche's booklets to her. She appreciated these spiritual messages more than all the other lavish gifts our group brought to her and I am so thankful to Rinpoche for agreeing to write this prayer which made my visit so greatly fulfilling."
A Prayer of Inspiration
for President and Mrs.Gorbachev and the Soviet People
Homage!
In all directions and all times without exception
by the blessings of those who are endowed
with wisdom, compassion, power and the great truth
that surges forth from pure, selfless motivation,
may disease, famine, war and strife be dispelled
in every nation of the earth.
May the peoples and the nations of the earth
increase in merit and prosperity
generation after generation.
May they encounter no obstacles to their highest aspirations.
Soothed by the shimmering radiance of cool, peaceful moonlight,
may the feverish fears and pain of humanity subside,
and may the illumination of virtue and excellence
shine forth everywhere unceasingly.
