Spreading the Message of Peace from Buddha’s Homeland

I am walking carrying a missile filled with anger; if you can, establish peace. I am burning with rage, fearing I might make some mistakes—please explain the meaning of the Gita to me. Anger and ego are igniting flames within me as I contemplate; extinguish the fire with your immortal words. I will repay every debt I owe you, truly, without any collateral!

Help me settle the installments. I am struggling for wealth and position; even if I err, please reveal the glory of dignity. I am enduring the pain of wins and losses; if you can, declare a ceasefire. I am failing in my speech, writing, and conduct; for those who can, teach me the way to succeed. Surrounded by problems, I seek your mercy!

Unseal the lid. I am anxious recalling past and future events; if capable, dispel the darkness. Each day I live carrying new hopes; if you have strength, help me identify my goals and destinations. Acting on life’s stage, I long for understanding of the experience!

Help me comprehend worldly attachments. Greed and sin can break the limits of your mind; if you have courage, build a protective wall. I cultivate lies suited to circumstances; if you please, classify these falsehoods. Humbly, I am willing to make unnecessary efforts to improve myself; enlighten me with reality. Trapped between heaven and hell, I yearn for liberation!

Chant the mantra. I am proud to be born in the land of Buddha; let all Nepalis unite to spread the message of peace worldwide.
