Supplication to Savior of Earth Calamities Tara

Occurred all of a sudden, no way to prevent or prepare, crushed houses and fell walls at a blink

Sentient beings fragile and endangered, either dead or wounded, protections all disappeared in an instant

Guiding deceased beings to rest and cultivate in Buddha's Pureland, sole refuge after the calamity is Tara

Stopping pains and healing wounds, calming minds and rebuilding community, resumption of security and happiness relies on your merciful kindness
