SOFT RAIN

***** *** *****

Just as the soft rains fill the streams

pour into the rivers and join together in the oceans

So may the power of every moment of your goodness

flow forth to awaken and heal all beings

Thoose here now, thoose gone before, thoose yet to come

*********

*********

By every moment of your goodness may your hearts

wishes be soon fulfilled as completely shining

as the bright full moon

as magical as by a wish-fulfilling gem
******************

By the power of your goodness may all dangers

be averted and all disease be gone

May no obstacle come across your way

May you enjoy fulfillment and long life
*********

*********

For all in whose heart dwells respect

Who follow the wisdom and compassion of the way

May your life prosper in the four blessings;

Of old age, beauty, hapiness and strength
