I desire neither earthly kingdom, nor paradise;

not even freedom from birth and death.

I desire only the deliverance from grief of those afflicted by misery.

Oh Lord, lead us from the unreal to the real;

from darkness to light;

from death to immortality.

May there be peace in celestial regions.

May there be peace on earth.

May the waters be appeasing.

May herbs be wholesome

and may trees and plants bring peace to all.

May all beneficent beings bring peace to us.

May their wisdom spread peace all through the world.

May all things be a source of peace

to all and to me.
