May I be a guard for all those who are protectorless, A guide for those who journey on the road, For those who wish to go across the water, May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.

For all those ailing in the world, Until their every sickness has been healed, May I myself become for them The doctor, nurse, the medicine itself.

----- Shantideva
