Blessings from the Dongba Scripture of Auspicious Days

You come from the ancient Dongba scriptures
You come from the soul of the world’s only living hieroglyphs
You come from the eternal smile of the founding ancestors
You come from the heavenly sound of the Dongba priests’ conch

You carry the auspicious light of primordial chaos
The primal force that divided heaven and earth
The cosmic whispers beyond the sky
The blessings of gods and protection of all ancestors

In the name of UNESCO Memory of the World
I pray for the community with a shared future for mankind

With timeless wisdom and universal love
Bring eternal peace and blessings to the world
With peace as the lotus, with love as the dew
Sow the seeds of harmony on this blue planet

The high heavens shine with stars
Today the starlight is brightest
The earth is covered with green grass
Today the grass is freshest

The sun rises to the left of the Sacred Mountain
Today the sun warms most gently
The moon rises to the right of the Sacred Mountain
Tonight the moon shines most brightly

On this day
when sun is good, moon is good, stars are good
year is good, month is good, day is good
and every hour is blessed

May stars shine bright above, earth grow green below, trees stand tall and full
May all be auspicious, all wishes come true
May the world be peaceful, filled with joy and health
May all people live long lives, blessed with endless grace
