The Power of Compassion and Healing

The mantra Om Tara Tu Tara Tu Ray Swaha carries profound significance in Tibetan Buddhism. It is a call for compassion, strength, and healing—a plea for divine assistance in overcoming life’s challenges.

This heartfelt chant, performed by a blind girl and her friends on a national stage, serves as a beacon of hope and resilience. At Sustainable Society, we share this prayer as a universal message of unity, love, and hope for a better tomorrow, echoing the core values of our mission to nurture a sustainable and compassionate world.

"Om Tara tu Tara tu ray swaha is one of the most significant and most commonly chanted mantras in Tibetan Buddhism, and is used to attract help, compassion, strength and healing."

Special Prayers

Ingenuity to Harmonious Universe

Evolution plays a key role in the existence of the entire universe. From time immemorial, galaxies, stars, and planets have been born to shape a twinkling sky, a source of enjoyment and wonder for all. The ingenuity behind developing each system and positioning them separately is truly astounding. Within the current state of our own solar system, we are blessed with sunshine to keep our planet energized, an ozone layer to protect our globe, vegetation to nourish our land, great oceans to circulate our system, trees to filter our air, animals to make our home sustainable, and most importantly, human intelligence to elevate our world. This remarkable ingenuity and cycle of development ought to be respected and honored by every “resident” of their own planet and system. We pray with compassion and wisdom that these loving legacies from a higher power will triumph, creating a harmonious universe and giving us an amazing journey to explore and be inspired.

Dedications to Sustainable Ecosystem

Animals on land are the gardeners of our landscape, and marine life in the sea are the protectors of our fountains. They are part of a remarkable web of creation from a higher power. By providing such diverse natural resources and cycling through amazing seasonal exchanges, they nurture our planet and make it the envy of the universe. With heavenly-blessed compassion, they are the most dedicated unsung heroes, meticulously maintaining a sustainable ecosystem to safeguard our existence on Earth. Please honor them with respect and embrace their God-given potential. We all are part of this circle of life to make our “home” work. We sincerely pray that the wisdom and unconditional love of such incredible creatures continue enlightening humanity with compassion for a sustainable society and a peaceful universe.

Restoring Ecosystems

Wisdom for Human Contributions

Humans were once “shepherds” on Earth. We migrated and cultivated our land in partnership with the rest of God’s creation! Once civilization developed, the wisdom of this precious heritage should be preserved to honor the “law of nature,” especially amid current industrial practices. For thousands of years, our ancestors have guided us in the intelligent way to coexist with nature and incorporate it into our lives. While innovating with an “out-of-the-box” way of thinking, we must enlighten others with the core value of “sustainability” inspired by the rest of nature’s creativity.

We ought to fully comprehend the ingenuity that the planet has evolved, diligently master the sustainability that creatures have cultivated, and thoughtfully innovate breakthrough technologies to preserve our Home. Our prayers for the determination to sail our ship to a “heavenly island,” to unleash humanity’s greatest potential, and to honor our place at the top of the chain will prevail for our coexistence on Earth!

Human Rights & Equity

Respect Diversity for World Peace

Diversity drives a vivid and enjoyable life force on our planet. Everyone should safeguard their own cultural identity and, reciprocally, respect others' cultural celebrations, religious practices, and peaceful lifestyles. Embrace our differences and coexistence, and stop fighting and bombing innocent people and harming our fragile environment, instead of "playing video games," so to speak. We are heading to a promising, sustainable future where everyone will thrive with prosperity and longevity on our planet. Focus on collaborative efforts for long-term gains on our Home, and don’t let the fear of short-term biases barricade our great potential for such a wonderful journey on Earth. Our prayers for wisdom, compassion, and courage will help us overcome!

We applaud the effectiveness and outcomes that followed and appreciate the general support for making the social sector one of the four pillars, alongside governments, businesses, and consumers, in making our world a better place for everyone to cherish. May generous support and noble charitable efforts continue to lead our world toward a compassionate and enjoyable paradise where everyone can flourish!

Missions to Governments

Every government should be a guardian that maintains its natural resources for a sustainable ecosystem and a protector that safeguards its own people and wildlife, ensuring prosperity, health, and happiness. Manipulating political power, ignoring pressing issues, misleading the public with disinformation, utilizing fear tactics, concealing criminal acts, or undoing constructive legislation for personal greed or special interests will neither meet the expectations of its hardworking citizens nor honor the privileged opportunity to elevate one’s full potential to further benefit its countrymen.

Every government should act as a liaison for the continuation of an ever-improving and thriving society within its borders. Collectively, we pray to be inspired by their wisdom, courage, and leadership to cultivate a sustainable society and a peaceful world.

We pray that many more of your peers will follow your noble footsteps and, through joint collaborative efforts, truly transform our world into a sustainable one.

Ownership and responsibility for this planet belong to everyone on Earth! We pray that, with wisdom and determination, these four pillars of our social foundation will achieve promising outcomes for everyone to enjoy and prosper.

Public participation and engagement in various charitable efforts are the core driving forces behind the success of any philanthropic endeavor for a sustainable future.

While passionately rescuing others, we also embrace our own salvation. The joy of witnessing hurdles overcome inspires everyone’s strength to march on. We are grateful for the social platforms created by society to admire such a beautiful human spirit and the amazing results that have flourished. May compassion and generosity prevail, making our world a loving and caring home for all.

Safeguard our Precious Future

Children are the foundation for our future. Their innocence and unconditional love brighten our souls and remind us of the true nature of the human spirit. Please safeguard these precious treasures! Raise them with love and compassion, honor them with encouragement, communicate with them using reason, and educate them with creative measures. They’re the best diplomats for dissolving our differences among countries and cultures.

Human trafficking to enslave children for cheap labor, torturing them as human sacrifices, or exploiting them as sex objects must be condemned and eradicated through joint international efforts, because no one should ever benefit from another’s misery and suffering, especially innocent children. How we embrace our youth today determines the world we will live in tomorrow. Our prayers to the loving higher power for a safe haven for these innocent souls and their everlasting smiles and happiness.
