Browsing through Alex Pelizzon’s major work “ECOLOGICAL JURISPRUDENCE. The Law of Nature and the Nature of Law.” at my favourite Buddhist temple this morning I was taken aback by the beauty of the Platonic concept of “anima mundi” and created the following prayer:
“Omnia omnibus. Om mani padme hum. Anima Mundi. Om mani padme hum.”
which I partially transcreate as follows:
“May all things be for all people. Om mani padme hum. The breath and spirit of the world. Om mani padme hum.” (To read a word by word explication of “Om mani padme hum” from the Dalai Lama click here.)
Perhaps I will call this prayer of mine “OmMaMun.”
I hope to hear better voices than mine repeat it or variations thereof. I am 69 years old. I hope it happens soon.
