Mantra in English translation:

" We invite the spirit of our founder, the Father Doctor Jivaka, who comes to us through his saintly life. Please bring to us the knowledge of all nature, that this prayer (mantra) will show us the true medicine of the universe.
In the name of this mantra, we respect your help and pray that through our bodies you will bring wholeness and health to the body of our client. The goddess of healing dwells in the heavens high, while mankind stays in the world below.
In the name of the founder, may the heavens be reflected in the earth below so that this healing medicine may encircle the world, we pray for the one whom we touch, that he/she will be happy and that any illness will be released from him/her."
