原文：

Thank you. This is Bhikkhu Sagarananda. I'm one of the representatives from the Taiwanese American Buddhist organization in Maryland. And I'm here to support my Israeli brothers and sisters. And before I commence this prayer, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Rabbi Abbi, her dedicated staff, and esteemed member of JCRC of Greater Washington DC. And then, I'm deeply humbled to offer this prayer in solidarity for the release of hostages.

Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammāsambuddhassa 

In the midst of suffering and despair, we turn to the teachings of the Buddha, seeking solace and guidance in our quest for liberation. As we witness the anguish of those held captive hostages. we recall the words of the Buddha, in the Buddhist scriptures Dhammapada, "he abused me, he ill- treated me, he got the better of me, He stole my belongings". Understand that harboring such thoughts only deepens the cycle of enmity.  May we, with hearts full of compassion, embrace the wisdom that even amidst adversity, the enmity of those harboring such thoughts and be appeased for forgiveness is the path to true freedom.  Let us remember the eternal truth, the hatred is never quenched by hatred, but only by the gentle touch of loving kindness.  A timeless law woven into the fabric of existence with Palms joined and minds serene, we offer our prayers for the sweet release of all hostages and prisoners. If a young and old, female or male and all sentient beings, may they find refuge in the boundless compassion of their terrible jail, and may peace reign supreme in every corner of the world.  May the light of the Buddha illuminate their path. May the dhamma there be their guiding principle, and may the Sangha provide them with unwavering support through the power of loving kindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. May all beings find liberation from suffering and may the chains of bondage be broken forever and ever. Svaha
