All Souls Festival:  All Souls Conclusion

Throughout the vast world

May there be no anxiety and no hindrance.

The cycles of death and life go on;

What else could there be?

If you go when you must go,

How could you not be at ease?

Turn your mind to the Tao

And deliverance will quickly come!

 

  • Chant encouraging souls of the departed to let go of attachments and be delivered from suffering
