"O Parent God who gives life to all living beings, fill my whole being with Your Spirit and all blessings. My life is not my own to claim, it is the life of God, who permeates the universe. My acts are not my own to claim. They are the acts of God, who permeates the universe. May the Lord of Seicho-No-Ie, who has appeared to teach us the Way of God, the Parent of heaven and earth, guide us and protect us."
