Let us liberate ourselves from our chains of
past revenge and sore bitterness

Let us create new virtues under the mantle of wisdom,
empty-minded, pure and simple-minded,
patient and helping others in our each and every act.

Let us create a new world of one flower, following
what the good-and-wise ones teach us to see

Let us continuously and diligently study that by
which mind eye can be opened
