太子竟捨國 早悟世榮虛幻
盛年離親愛 早謀世苦救脫
苦行悟中道 大智世法超越
證覺息魔患 大慈對立無復
施教能觀機 大悲接引有方
遊化盡世壽 大力救渡無盡
教法傳代代 恩波廣被十方
應弟子綿延之請而作

Praise to Sakyamuni Buddha
Praise to Sakyamuni Buddha Yutang Lin
A crown price could have renounced the kingdom
Awakened early to illusive nature of worldly glories
In prime years departed from his beloved ones
Sought early the salvation from worldly sufferings
Through ascetic practices realized the Middle Path
Great wisdom transcended worldly dualistic approaches
Attained full enlightenment and pacified all devil harassments
Great compassion no longer sustained antagonism
Guiding beings according to their propensities and capabilities
Great mercy imbued with skillful ways of guidance
Roamed around to provide enlightened guidance till end of life
Great power rendered endless salvation to all beings
Teachings passed down from generation to generation through ages
Graceful waves spread far and wide in the ten directions
