Translation of a mantra

Post by MindTheGap »

I know this mantra is supposed to be said over meat before eating it:

Om abirake sara hum

But I don't know the translation. Anybody?

Also wondering if it might be applicable when seeing road kill, to assist them in a good rebirth. If not, what would be a good one?
And now, as long as space endures, As long as there are beings to be found,
May I continue, likewise, to remain, To drive away the sorrows of the world.

- Shantideva: Bodhicharyavatara

In this world there is no man, there is no woman. There is no person, self or consciousness.
Man and woman are merely imputed and have no essence. Thus, the minds of worldly beings are mistaken.

- Wisdom Moon: now known as the Bodhisattva Tara

When there arises a gap in the mind...
