First we make ablutions in the eastern direction to purify it into a
place of enlightenment;
Second we likewise cleanse the southern direction to gain the refreshing
coolness;
Third we cleanse the western direction to complete the pure land;
Fourth we cleanse the northern direction to gain peace and health;
As the place of enlightenment is purified, not flawed or impure,
The three treasures, devas and dragons descend here;
We now uphold and recite this sublime mantra,
Vowing to bestow love and compassion as we secretly watch over everyone
All the evil ever created by me since of old,
On account of my beginningless greed, hatred, and ignorance,
Born of my conduct, speech, and thought,
I now confess open and fully.
