May my heart awaken in the stillness of dawn,
Just as the sun rises, dispelling the night's gloom,
I embrace the teachings of the Enlightened One, the Dhammapada,
Guide me on my journey, as I weave through life's loom.

No fear shall hinder my path, for I am awakened,
No lust shall cloud my vision, for my mind is clear,
No hate shall weigh me down, for compassion has taken its place,
I strive to transcend the dualities, as the Buddha's teachings I revere.

In this moment, I am free from desire, free from affliction,
In every breath, I am aware, my mind is beyond delusion,
Neither merit nor demerit bind me,
In this wisdom, I find my resolution.

With each step, may I leave footprints of compassion,
With each word, may I express loving-kindness,
With each action, may I reflect the Buddha's teachings,
On this path, I seek not just happiness, but also mindfulness.

In the silence of the morning, I meditate on these truths,
In the calmness, I find my strength, my inner light,
May all beings find peace, may all beings find freedom,
In the heart of Dhamma, we unite.

As I go about my day, may this mantra guide my way,
"Awakened, unclouded, unafflicted, I am free,
Beyond merit and demerit, in Dhamma, I find my glee."
Recite this mantra, let it echo, let it be your decree.
