May the shrines of the Three Jewels established in the temples of the world never be abandoned or destroyed. 

May peace reign in all counties.  

May suspicion, fear, cruelty and murder be eradicated.  

Dwelling in peace, may all beings receive the blessings of happiness for ten thousand generations and more.  

May the sound of praise for peace extend to every place reached by the rays of the Sun and Moon.   

May peace between all nations arise.  

May the Three Jewels and the assembly of Sages, the Sun and Moon, Planets and Stars expound these solemn words. 

Generally, nowadays, while there is little whole-hearted pursuit of virtue and devotion to the good — men and women who in their prayers seek refuge in the Three Jewels should again and again cling to their oaths, study correct views, discipline their speech to calmness, perfect their lives as best they can, mind all their actions, gather together and take up good counsel from their gurus and spiritual leaders.  

May each Dharma sister and brother take it upon one another to be a guardian of the other and utterly cast out evil actions and thoughts,  and earnestly strive for compassionate awareness. 

If we act in this way all will win happiness both in this existence and in the next.  

Holding firmly to the Dharma teachings — all will be well in the world.
