no sublime gem in the heavens,
that equals the Realized One.
This sublime gem is in the Buddha:
by this truth, may you be well!

Ending, dispassion, the undying, the sublime,

by this truth, may you be well!

Even if they do a bad deed
by body, speech, or mind,

Like a tall forest tree crowned with flowers
in the first month of summer;

leading to extinguishment, the ultimate benefit.

This sublime gem is in the Saṅgha:
by this truth, may you be well!

Whatever beings have gathered here,
on the ground or in the sky:
the Realized One is honored by gods and humans!
We bow to the Buddha! May you be safe!
