May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.

All the harm, fear, and suffering in the world are caused by attachment to the self: Why should I hold on to this great demon?

Partake of this sacred mystery: to take the place of others, giving them his own.

It is not possible to control all external events; But, if I simply control my mind what need is there to control other things?

What need is there to say more? The childish work for their own benefit, The Buddhas work for the benefit of others. Just look at the difference between them.

May I become at all times, both now and forever: a protector for those without protection; a guide for those who have lost their way; a ship for those with oceans to cross; a bridge for those with rivers to cross; a sanctuary for those in danger; a lamp for those without light; a place of refuge for those who lack shelter; and a servant to all in need.

There is nothing to fear other than my mind.
