The Universal Friendship Prayer (The Essence of Jain Code of Conduct)
May the sacred stream of amity
Flow forever in my heart. May the universe prosper Such is my cherished desire.
May my heart sing with ecstasy At the sight of the virtuous.
May my life be An offering at their feet.
May my heart bleed at the sight of the wretched, the cruel, the irreligious.
May tears of compassion
flow from my eyes.
May I always be there to show the path
to the pathless wanderers of life. Yet if they should not hearken to me
May I bide in patience.
May the spirit of goodwill
enter all our hearts.
May we all sing in chorus the immortal song of human concord.
