The Words Of Shantideva by Dean Solon

"May the fearful become fearless;
 May those oppressed by grief find joy;
 May those who are anxious
 Be rid of their anxiety and feel secure.

 May health come to the sick;
 May they be free from every bondage;
 May those who are weak find strength,
 Their minds tender towards each other.

 As long as space remains,
 As long as sentient beings remain,
 Until then, may I too remain
 And help dispel the miseries of the world."
