I'm looking for the words to a prayer?

Question

I think it was written by the Dalai Lama, but, now I'm not sure. It was a beautiful prayer about compassion that starts with blessing yourself, then family, then neighborhood, then city, then country... etc.. you get the point. Is anyone familiar with this prayer?

Answer 1

An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,

and warm your heart and home.

May good and faithful friends be yours,

wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world

with joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons

bring the best to you and yours!
