Happy Birthday Bono. We made acquaintances in Winnipeg and wish you all the very best!
Happy Birthday, Bono! Hope it’s a massively lovely one. Keep up all the great work.
Two years ago, I received what could be considered by many as the most beautiful gift anyone can get in a lifetime: I got back my faith and that’s because of U2’s lyrics, literally. Today, I am glad I get a chance to share a tiny portion of that gift with people half a world away who might see many other birthdays for themselves.
Thank you 2U and happy birthday dear Bono.

God bless you, Bono!
graham, and have a great birthday and u r so amazing and we your loyal fans love u and keep up the amazing work that u do 2 try and better our world
This is one of H.H. the Dalai Lama’s favourite prayers, extracted from βA Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Lifeβ by Shantideva, a Buddhist master from the monastic university of Nalanda, India and composed in the eighth century of the Christian era.
“May all beings everywhere Plagued by sufferings of body and mind Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy By virtue of my merits.
May no living creature suffer, Commit evil, or ever fall ill. May no one be afraid or belittled,With a mind weighed down by depression.
May the blind see forms And the deaf hear sounds, May those whose bodies are worn with toil Be restored on finding repose.
May the naked find clothing, The hungry find food; May the thirsty find water And delicious drinks.
May the poor find wealth, Those weak with sorrow find joy; May the forlorn find hope,Constant happiness, and prosperity.
May there be timely rains And bountiful harvests;May all medicines be effective And wholesome prayers bear fruit.
May all who are sick and ill Quickly be freed from their ailments. Whatever diseases there are in the world, May they never occur again.
May the frightened cease to be afraid And those bound be freed; May the powerless find power,And may people think of benefiting each other.
For as long as space remains, For as long as sentient beings remain, Until then may I too remain To dispel the miseries of the world.”
Thank you and Ali for doing the footwork. Happy Birthday! Steve Kilpatrick – Atlanta

You keep proving that if we concentrate on what we have in common and build on that, then we really can change the world for the better.

Hope there is a day when this gift is no longer needed! Much love and blessings to you and yours on your special day.
Dear Bono, my best wishes for your birthday. You know, I can’t help thinking of you as one of my closest friends since I have been listening to U2’s music for more than half of my life. Many of your songs have helped me and still help me to go on. And I think that two of your lines are truly complementary: “we’re one, but we’re not the same” and “there is no them, there’s only us”. I love you Bono, thank you for everything that you do for me and for so many other people in the world. Annalisa form Italy
