A Collection of Buddhist Healing Prayers and Practices
with essays by Jason Espada
3rd Edition
"It is said that whenever we practice Dharma it should always be pervaded by compassion at all times ? in the beginning, in the middle and at the end of our practice. Compassion is the source, the real essence of the entire path."
- Khenpo Appey Rinpoche

Forward to the Second Edition
A little over a year has passed since the first edition of this book was completed. Since then, I've been able to bring together a more Concise Set of Healing Prayers and Practices, of about 75 pages, based on that work. It's my intention now to publish the Concise Set separately, and also to include it here in this new edition, in it's entirety.
Comparing the first and second editions, I've made three more changes: First, I've taken some of the commentaries on healing practice that were formerly in a later section, and incorporated those ideas into the opening sections, interspersed with an actual practice. For reference' sake, the First Edition will continue to be available online.
I've also written a few more essays and some poetry that I thought should be included in a second edition of this work.
And, in gratitude, the list of websites and e-mail addresses of people and organizations that accept prayer requests can now be found online, on A Buddhist Library, on the Things I Like to Share page. If there are any questions, I can also be reached via that website. Hopefully, the changes I've made will make this material easier to use.
I truly hope as well that, in some small way, I have done justice with this work to the Noble Lineage of this practice. Where I've been mistaken, I humbly ask forgiveness for my impertinence. Whatever good is here is just that good that is everywhere in the world, sometimes hidden, and then celebrated when revealed, and the incomparable kindness and generosity of my teachers.
A table of contents and two Prefaces follow.
My warm best wishes to you all. May all beings benefit.

Forward to the Third Edition This edition contains a few more essays, including a basic method of meditation, and a couple of brief commentaries, which I felt should be here, for completeness sake. As I continue to work with this material, it naturally changes, and those revisions are what I offer here. This is the best I can do right now. If I am blessed with more years on this earth, I will be very happy to continue to offer the best of what I find. May all beings benefit. Jason Espada, San Francisco, September 23rd, 2011.
This edition was last revised on March 22nd , 2012.
