May the merit gained in my acting
thus Go to the alleviation
of the suffering of all beings.
 
Just as the earth and other elements
Are serviceable in many ways
to the infinite number of beings, peace.
 
Ah My personality throughout my existences,
My possessions, And my merit in all three ways,
I give up without regard to myself
For the benefit of all beings.
 
Ah So may I become that which maintains all beings,
situated throughout space,
So long as all have not attained to peace.}}

May the merit gained in my acting
thus Go to the alleviation
of the suffering of all beings.

Just as the earth and other elements
Are serviceable in many ways
to the infinite number of beings, peace.

Ah My personality throughout my existences,
My possessions, And my merit in all three ways,
I give up without regard to myself
For the benefit of all beings.

Ah So may I become that which maintains all beings,
situated throughout space,
So long as all have not attained to peace.
