May all beings everywhere
Plagued by sufferings of body and mind
Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy
By virtue of my merits
May no living creature suffer,
Commit evil, or ever fall ill
May no one be afraid or belittled,
With a mind weighed down depression
May the blind see forms
And the deaf hear sounds
May those who bodies are worn with toil
Be restored on finding repose
May the naked find clothing,
The hungry find food;
May the thirsty find water
And delicious drinks
May the poor find wealth,
Those weak with sorrow find joy;
May the forlorn find hope,
Constant happiness and prosperity
May there be timely rains
And bountiful harvests
May all medicines be effective
And wholesome prayers bear fruit
May all who are sick and ill
Quickly be freed from their ailments
Whatever diseases there are in the world,
May they never occur again
May the frightened cease to be afraid
And those bound be freed
May the powerless find power,
And may people think of benefiting each other
For as long as space remains,
For as long as sentient beings remain,
Until then may I too remain
To dispel the miseries of the world
