   My mistress is this unbearable tenderness   
   And my goal   
   Is never to be parted from her   
   Night and day, and every second of my life,   
   In a close and unique embrace.   
   In the unbearable aspect   
   There is the certainty of death,   
   The immeasurable space of parting;   
   In the tenderness   
   There is you and all beings   
   Whom I love better than myself.   
      
   My right hand holds the flaming sword   
   Of unbearablessness   
   Wrapped around by the flames   
   Of deep warmth and tenderness;   
   And in my left hand   
   The lotus of pure love carries   
   Infinite ways to express this   
   Concealed into exalted words of great meaning.   
      
   The way I fight my enemies is by liberating them from the suffering   
   Of the compulsive urge to harm and destroy   
   Pacifying, seducing or overpowering them.   
   Since beginningless time you completely surrender to me   
   And such a wholehearted openness   
   Is a wondrous gift   
   That I accepted with deep joy and respect   
   Taking it most seriously at heart.   
      
   Deserving such confidence is what gives me   
   Uncommon sense of duty, readiness to die, and outrageous courage,   
   Indispensable virtues of a warrior.   
      
   Now, if you are trustful enough to step outside   
   This world of misery and sorrow   
   And join me in the resplendent circle   
   Of unbearablessness and warmth,   
   Unbelievably,   
   By merging vivid awareness that everything is possible   
   – Including death and change –   
   With the irresistible bliss of absolute love,   
   Together, we will conquer the borderland of meeting and parting   
   And travel safely to the city of immortality   
   Beyond concept.   
      
   Please, believe me.
