May I be the doctor and the medicine
And may I be the nurse For all sick beings in the world
Until everyone is healed.

May a rain of food and drink descend
To clear away the pain of thirst and hunger
And during the eon of famine
May I myself turn into food and drink.

May I become an inexhaustible treasure
For those who are poor and destitute;
May I turn into all things they could need
And may these be placed close beside them.

May I be a protector for those without one,
A guide for all travelers on the way;
May I be a bridge, a boat, and a ship
For those who wish to cross the water.

May I be an island for those who seek one
And a lamp for those desiring light,
May I be a bed for all who wish to rest...
