In gratitute, we offer this incense
Throughout space and time
to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

May it be fragrant as Earth herself
reflecting careful efforts,
wholehearted awareness,
and the fruit of understanding slowly ripening.

May we and all beings be companions
of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

May we awaken from forgetfulness
and realise our True Home.
