| Like the light of the sun, moon, and stars, may love,
compassion, and wisdom shine forth. May they strike every single living being
and dispel the darkness of ignorance, attachment, and hatred that has lurked
for ages in their being. When any living being meets with another, may it be
like the reunion of a mother and child who have long been separated. In a
harmonious world such as this, may I see everyone sleep peacefully to the music
of nonviolence. This is my dream.
