[p. 1]

Anthony's prayer:

OM MANI PADME HUM

To my dear Lord - truth of my being - the God within my innermost consciousness - reveal thy Grace, deliver "me" from ignorance, guide me to thy lotus feet . . . teach me surrender.

Oh thou unknown God -

have mercy, have mercy.

[p. 2]

Infinite Mind of the World, radiant Sun behind the sun, we thank you for the grace of your presence in the form of our most beloved and revered teacher, for your presence in the luminous rain of profound and pristine teachings, and for your presence through the support and kindness of the community of spiritual friends.

Infinite Mind of the World, resplendent sun shining in the pure sky of peace, we thank you for the grace of your presence in the form of very special beings through whom your profound wisdom and compassion ever flow to guide our innate ray of life back to your self abiding source.
