As more precious than a wish-giving gem

Since it hurts myself and others.

With every hope they'll help me,
And instead they do me great wrong;

To my mothers, directly or some other way;

In secret upon myself.

By the eight ideas of things;
May I see all things are illusion, and free
Myself from the chains of attachment.

遠離世間八法的垢染
愿我視一切如幻
從此解脫于執著的枷鎖
