Bodhisattva Manjusri, the Light of Wisdom
Glowing in our hearts and illuminating our minds.
Free us from greed, anger and ignorance
As we strive for exemplary conduct.
Forward we move with our heads held high.

We help all sentient beings.
With wisdom,
We overcome all delusions.
The Truth of the Dharma,
The teachings of the Buddha,
Forever shining far and bright.
