Father, Mother, helper, Lord, friend,
You alone are our Master.
For those with no other anchor,
You are the sole protector.
In every way, always the giver of joy,
Destroyer of sorrow and vice.
You nourish the whole world,
Bearing boundless compassion in Your heart.
The extent of Your kindness has no end,
Ever expanding, moment by moment.
We have forgotten You, yet
You have never forgotten us.
Great King, Your glory is immense,
Understood by only the rarest wise souls.
Abode of auspicious peace, treasure of love,
Light of the temple of the mind.
You are the life of this life,
The beloved of these breaths.
Having found grace in You, O Lord,
What other refuge could we seek?
