Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Light of Wisdom

Glowing in our hearts and illuminating our minds.

Free us from greed, anger and ignorance

As we strive for exemplary conduct.

Forward we move with our heads held high.

With great loving kindness and compassion,

We help all sentient beings.

With wisdom,

We overcome all delusions.

The Truth of the Dharma,

The teachings of the Buddha,

Forever shining far and bright.
