Original text and translations

English text

As many atoms as there are
In the thousand millionworlds,
So many times I make rev'rent salutation
To all the Buddhas of the Three Eras,
To the Saddharma
And to the excellent Community.

I pay homage, I pay homage,
I make profound obeisance,
respectful salutation is due.

As many atoms as there are
In the thousand million worlds,
So many times I make rev'rent salutation
To all the Buddhas of the Three Eras,
To the Saddharma
And to the excellent Community.

I pay homage to all the shrines,
And places in which the Bodhisattvas have been.
I make profound obeisance to the Teachers,
And those to whom respectful salutation is due.

(stagger breathing)
