‍Prayers for the World

‍

• For the Tibetan people as the Dali Llama turns 90 years old and China is pressing to name the next Dali Llama. Traditionally, the next incarnation of the religious leader is chosen by Tibetan monks. The US has traditionally helped finance Tibetan refugees, but the State Department has cut US support sharply.
• For the more than one billion people in India threatened by dangerously high temperatures. For many Indians, there is no escape from the heat. Work is done outside and not to work means not to eat.
• For climate justice as the US stops funding on hurricane detection and climate science and lays off climate scientists from NOAA and the EPA.
• For peace throughout the world especially in Iran, Yemen, Gaza, Sudan, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Israel, Russia and Ukraine.
