　　them,

　　While lighting up the world with a bright lamp;

　　Observe the purity of the essence of the Buddha;

　　Manifesting everywhere a majestic light to benefit all kinds,

　　Showing the Path of Elixir making them clear and cool,

　　All miseries vanishing having no basis.

　　All sentient beings dwell in the sea of existence

　　Binding themselves with evil deeds and delusions—

　　He shows them the way of serenity he practices:

　　Pure dignified sound can well understand this.

　　The Buddha”…
