Assailed by afflictions, we

discover Dharma
And find the way to liberation. Thankyou, evil forces!

When sorrows invade the mind, we

discover Dharma
And find lasting happiness. Thankyou, sorrows!

Through harm caused by spirits we discover

Dharma
And find fearlessness. Thankyou, ghosts and demons!

Through people's hate we discover

Dharma
And find benefits and happiness. Thankyou, those who hate us!

Through cruel adversity, we discover

Dharma
And find the unchanging way. Thankyou, adversity!

Through being impelled to by others, we discover

Dharma
And find the essential meaning. Thankyou, all who drive us on!

We dedicate our merit to you all, to

repay your kindness.
