In the gentle light of dawn, I awaken,
Aligning my heart with the eternal wisdom of Dhamma.
As the sun rises, so does my consciousness,
Guided by the sacred teachings of the Buddha.

Should a seeker not find a companion who is better or equal,
May I have the courage to pursue a solitary course.
For there is no fellowship with the fool,
In the realm of wisdom, I strive to dwell.

May I be like the lotus, untouched by the muddy water,
Standing alone, yet rooted in the earth.
In solitude, may I find strength,
In wisdom, may I find companionship.

May I be patient, as the seed in the ground,
Awaiting the right conditions to flourish.
May I be strong, as the stream that carves the mountain,
Resolute in my journey towards enlightenment.

May I not be swayed by ignorance, greed, and anger,
May I not be lured by false companionship.
May I always strive for wisdom and truth,
Walking the noble path, alone if necessary.

Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha guide me,
Through the solitary journey, I find my strength.
In silence, I understand,
In wisdom, I am free.

As I live this day, may I remember,
Solitude is better than unworthy companionship.
In the company of fools, wisdom is lost,
In the pursuit of Dharma, I am never alone.

May the day bring wisdom and peace,
May I walk in the light of Dharma.

Mantra for the day: "In Dharma, I am never alone."
