WORSHIP 225 may they long remain, receiving, honoring, possessing the teachings, the one medicine for the suffering of beings, the source of all bliss. May our patron be perfected in the "equalities of giving," imposing no construct of "reality" upon the gift, the one who gives, the one to whom given. May all our practices be like the practices performed by Sweet Voice, for the sake of accomplishing the aims of beings who stretch to the limits of space in the ten directions. May there be in this world, in all of existence, the inexhaustible attainment of merit and knowledge, an inexhaustible treasury of Means and Wisdom, of deep contemplation, liberation, all qualities. May we hold the holy Law of all the Conquerors, make there appear everywhere the practice of enlightenment; may we practice in all future eons the good practice, the perfect practice. By the empowerment of the truth of the Three Jewels, may it all be accomplished in that way 1 3.23 Reciting the verses of good fortune Then the monks recite (or sing) a final benediction, the verses of good fortune: To the highest holy teacher, worthy of offerings by gods and men: homage to the Buddha ! may there now be good fortune I For all beings, mobile or stationary, may there now be good fortune! To the calm and desireless, worthy of offerings by gods and men: homage to the Law! may there now be good fortune! For all beings, mobile or stationary, may there now be good fortune I To the highest holy hosts, worthy of offerings by gods and men: homage to the Assembly 1 may there now be good fortune ! For all beings, mobile or stationary, may there now be good fortune I
