Original text and translations

English text

I rejoice with delight
In the good done by all beings
Through which they obtain rest
With the end of suffering.

May those who have suffered be happy!
I rejoice in the release of beings
From the sufferings of the rounds of existence;
I rejoice in the nature of the Bodhisattva
And the Buddha,
Who are Protectors.

I rejoice in the arising of the Will to Enlightenment,
And the Teaching:
Those Oceans which bring happiness to all beings,
And are the abode of welfare of all beings.

I rejoice with delight
In the good done by all beings.
