The ocean of peace lies ahead of me.

Sail the boat, O pilot

You are my constant companion now.

Take me in your lap.

Along our journey to the infinite.

The pole star alone will shine.

Giver of Freedom

Set me free.

May your forgiveness and compassion

Be my eternal resources for the journey —

May the mortal ties fall away,

May the vast universe

Hold me in embrace,

And with an undaunted heart

May I come to know the Great Unknown.
