Why is it important to pray for all beings?

We want our loved ones to be protected.

We want to thank and benefit those people who had helped us in the past.

We want to pray for those whom we had harmed in the past, including our past lives, so that we can break the cycle of continuously harming each other.

We want to benefit those that we are indifferent to because we may need their assistance in the future.

We want to pray for those who have harmed us in this life so that we can forgive them. When we cannot forgive, we are the one who will suffer from the anger; not them. It is better to forgive them and allow the karmic debt to end right now. If we cannot do so, our enlightenment will be delayed.
