Grace of Heaven and Earth,
Grace of Parents,
Grace of Fellow Beings,
Grace of Laws,
Oh, Dharmakaya Buddha, Fourfold Grace!
May we take refuge in Dharma and be filled with compassion and wisdom.
May we transform delusion into wisdom, greed into generosity, resentment into gratitude, discord into harmony, and hatred into compassion.
In this outbreak of pandemic disease, may all nations work together and benefit mutually.
May the strong help the weak, and may the weak learn from the strong.
May all those who are sick with the virus be healed.
May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care.
May we be free from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
May those who have died from the virus be at rest.
May the families of those who are sick or have died be protected from illness and despair.
Dharmakaya Buddha fourfold grace,
Please watch over and protect those who put themselves at risk in the process to care for sick patients.
May the leaders of all nations have the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks.
May all people in the world learn a great lesson from this global pandemic, and overcome this disaster skillfully with a calm mind of great reflection and awakened spirit.
This we pray with our whole hearts.
