A Clean Mind

Whilst relieving nature,
By all means pray that all sentient beings
Will eliminate their impurities
By completely ridding themselves of lust, anger, and delusion.

Whilst washing up afterwards,
By all means pray that all sentient beings
May turn towards the Peerless Way
And leave worldly things behind them.

Whilst cleaning off the soil with water,
By all means pray that all sentient beings
Will avail themselves of purifying patience,
That they may, after all, be free from any defilement.
