Let's pray for the Buddha's compassion and wisdom, send out the energy of compassion and peace, bless the people of the world, fill all people's hearts with compassion, make the world peaceful forever, and let the people live a happy and healthy life. Let's pray for three treasures together, so that all people are full of tolerance and compassion.
