```

When you do something wrong,

Pray to God the Illumination

To illumine you,

Instead of asking God the Compassion

To forgive you.

If God the Compassion forgives you,

You may repeat the same mistake

Again and again.

But if God the Illumination illumines you,

Then once and for all you will be liberated

From the ruthless attacks of ignorance-night.
