May all embrace happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all abide in peace, free from self-grasping.
May all attain the union of wisdom and compassion.
May our teachers enlighten, instruct, and guide all sentient beings in accord with Pure Dharma, free from sectarian enmity.
May our leaders govern, protect, and love their subjects in accord with Pure Dharma, free from envy and pride.
May all be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May farmers, merchants, and professionals provide their goods and services in accord with Pure Dharma, free from selfishness and greed.
May all be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May workers produce honestly and skillfully in accord with Pure Dharma, free from cruelty and resentment.
May all be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
