May the merit and virtues accrued from this act

adorn the Buddha’s Pure Land,

repay the Four Kindnesses above,

and relieve the suffering of those in the Three Paths below.

May those who see or hear of this

bring forth the heart of understanding and compassion

and, at the end of this life,

be born together in the land of Ultimate Bliss.
