Magickal Activity for April 8th, for the Birthday of Buddha – Prayer of the Bell

Artemis - Goddess of the Hunt, Forests and Hills

Prayer of the Bell

For this activity you will need a bell or gong and a prayer mat (a small woven mat used for prayer). Turn down the lights, sit comfortably on the mat, and place the bell or gong in front of you. Take several deep breaths. Relax and speak the prayer.

Would that the sound of the bell might go beyond our earth,
And be heard even by all the denizens of the darkness
Outside the Iron Mountains. (ring bell)
Would that their organ of hearing becoming pure,
beings might attain perfect direction. (ring bell)
So that every one of them might come finally
to the Realization of supreme enlightenment. (ring bell)
