Prayer for Teachings to Flow in the West
By the force of inspiration from the unfailing Three Supreme Gems and of the truth of our taking universal responsibility, may the precious Buddhist teachings flow and flourish in all lands throughout the length and breadth of the West.
For all people living there, together with their near ones, who engage in the teachings, with confidence and respect, may all hindrances to their pure Dharma practice disperse and an excellent network of favorable conditions grow like the waxing moon.
And especially for those who work on the means to bring about the flow and flourishing of the Triumphant One's teachings, the spring of all benefit and joy, may they never be oppressed by the hordes of interference and adverse conditions and may this spontaneously happen just as we have hoped and wished.
Translated by Alexander Berzin, September 2001
