Lead Me Kindly To Nirvana-W
I invite the Triple Jewel from Ten directions
And from the past, present and future.
Namo Bhagavate Amitabhaya Tathagataya.
To the Buddha I take refuge
To the Dharma I take refuge
To the Sangha I take refuge
May all beings form great assembly, all in harmony
I seek the blessings of Arahats for Dharma & Vinaya
Let Transiency (Anicca), Sorrow (Dukkha,
And No-soul (Anatta) enlightened me
And be a raft to escape from birth and death.
What is transient is painful
Let not pleasure be a prelude to pain.
Birth is suffering, old age is suffering,
Disease is suffering, death is suffering,
To be united with the unpleasant and
To be separated from the pleasant,
Not to receive what one craves for.
Lead me kindly to Nirvana.
