Peace Chant From the unreal lead me to the real From the darkness lead me to light From death lead me to immortality May all beings dwell in happiness May all beings dwell in peace May all beings attain oneness May all beings attain auspiciousness May all happiness be unto the whole world We worship the three eyed one (Shiva) who is fragrant and who nourishes all beings. May he liberate us from death (ignorance, belief in our transient nature) for the sake of immortality (knowledge of our immortal nature) even as the cucumber is severed from the vine (that its seeds may be kept). OM peace peace peace
