Prayer Of Confucianism

In the cinnamon-scented tower
Above the Palace of Van Thi (Confucius) />Ninety-five incarnations
Sowing charmed poetic seeds.
Hundred thousand transformations

Manifested lightning quick,
And miraculous as a mountain of pheasants,
Always
persevering
Expressing a mountain of goodwill
The goal to cultivate virtue, />Bringing honor to parents and Country.
Intuiting in dreams the way of service 
To
one another.
Having compassion for the miserable,
Building humaneness and piety, />Becoming saintly through compassion,
Cultivating mind and honor.
Piety, virtue,
faithfulness, compassion;
Even treasure to a king.
These are the attributes of
Confucianism.
Confucius engendered prosperity
of the human spirit,
As a lord who
lifts his people.
Through purification he gained his insights,
As well as sincerity and
equanimity,
And was sainted therefore 
with deep wisdom and unbounded
humanity.
