In the blistering heat of summer, I think
May all living beings
Escape from all afflictions,
And put an end to them completely.

When summer ends and
the cool season begins, I think
May all living beings
Realize the Unsurpassed Dharma,
And be ultimately clean and cool.

When I bathe my body, I think
May all living beings
Be unsullied in body and mind,
Radiant and clean inside and out.

When I wash with water, I think
May all living beings
Quickly reach
Transcendental Dharmas.

Moonrise at Dusk | Ukiah, California

When it’s time to sleep and rest, I think
May all living beings
Enjoy peace and security in their persons,
And have no restlessness or confusion in their minds.

Sunrise | Kauai, Hawaii

When I awake from sleep, I think
May all living beings
Awaken to omniscience,
With vision that spans the Ten Directions.
