World, we live and die on your lap
On you, we play out all our woes and joys
You are our home, an old ancient one
Forever we cherish you; we could not bear your loss
We wish to transform you into the pure realm of our dreams
Into a field where all creatures live without prejudice and all are equal
We wish to transform you into a loving warm gentle goddess
Our wish to embrace you is unchangeably stead fast
To that end be the ground which sustains us all
Do not show us the dark side of your character
And we too will transform you
All your corners into fertile fields of peace and happiness
May the harvest of joyfulness and freedom's million sweet scents
fulfill our limitless infinite wishes
So we pray
