May we be able to complete all the realizations of the path in order to be able to free all sentient beings from suffering and lead them to enlightenment. And may all our virtuous temporal wishes for ourselves, family, friends, and so forth be fulfilled.
May all those who have died either be reborn in a pure land where they can become enlightened or at least take a perfect human rebirth, especially [insert their names].
