Om Buddham Sharanam Gacchami! My hridaya, the radiant Crown of Kanzeon!
My manas, the precious Pearl of Eternal Reward.
May all beings, lost in ignorance, who disrupt my peace,
Transform into Bodhisattvas of deepest wisdom!
May all self-inflicted ignorance,
And all actions causing suffering,
Merge into the adamantine moment of Now!
May all gentle, stirring Atmans,
Awaiting their cosmic awakening,
Be FULLY IMBUED with the Amrita of existence,
And the bravery to tread the path of Dharma!
We bow to the Dharmachakras of the cosmic Maya,
Grounding our drishti in their sacred perspective.
To the beings lost and wandering,
In Samsara’s dance, to the nomadic Devatas,
I dissolve your delusions into Shunyata,
And liberate you from the burden of your Karma.
May an infinite multitude of Buddhas arise,
Each moment this mantra is brought to awareness,
And may I don the radiant Crown of Kanzeon,
Resting upon the true seat of existence, my heart.
Tathastu! Swaha!
