The main part of the Warrior Spirit Prayer, offered here in english and sanskrit, was initially written in September 11-12, 2001, by angel Kyodo williams in response to what she knew would be a misguided reaction to the events of that fateful day in American history. As a declared agnostic since the age of 12, she was Initially adverse to the idea of prayer. She was moved to later render the the text as a ongoing prayer for our collective humanity and the stance we must take to maintain, uplift and protect it against misaligned impulses.
Warrior-Spirit Prayer of Awakening
May all beings be granted with the strength, determination
and wisdom to extinguish anger and reject violence as a way.
May all suffering cease and may I seek, find and fully
realize the love and compassion that already lives within
me and allow them to inspire and permeate my every action.
May I exercise the precious gift of choice and the
power to change that makes me uniquely human and is the
only true path to liberation.
May I swiftly reach complete, effortless freedom so that
my fearless, unhindered action be of benefit to all.
May I lead the life of a warrior!
