May I:

Revere all beings;
Shelter the ill-natured, 
    overwhelmed by illusion
    of Samara’s ring;  
Regard myself as inferior, 
    and deem others as superior;
In all my actions, watch my mind;
See all as spiritual friends in kind; 
Comfort the conquered 
    and offer conquest of caliber;
Offer support and jubilation to others,  
   and smother the suffering of many Mothers; 
See all things as hallucination, 
    and without attachment gain freedom from illusion.
