as i develop the awakening
mind
i praise the buddhas as they
shine
i bow before you as i travel
my path
to join your ranks, i make my
full time task
for the sake of all beings i
seek
the enlightened mind that i
know i'll reap
respect to shantideva and
all the others
who brought down the dharma
for sisters and brothers
i give thanks for this world
as a place to learn
and for this human body that
i'm glad to have earned
and my deepest thanks to all
sentient beings
for without them there would
be no place to learn what
i'm seeing
there's nothing here that's
not been said before
but i put it down now so that
i'll be sure
to solidify my own views
and i'll be glad if it helps
anyone else out too
if others disrepect me or give me flack
i'll stop and think before i react
knowing that they're going through in secure
stages
i'll take the opportunity to exercise patience
i'll see it as a chance to help the other
person
nip it in the bud before it can worsen
a change for me to be strong and sure
an i think on the buddhas who have come before
as i praise and respect the good they've
done
knowing only love can conquer hate in every
situation
we need other peope in order to create
the circumstances for the learning that we're
here to generate
situations that bring up our deepest fears
so we can work to release them until they're
cleared
therefore, it only makes sense
to thank our enemies despite their intent
the bodhisattva path is neof power and
strength
a strength from withn to go the length
seeing others are as important as myself
i strive for a happiness of mentall wealth
with the interconnectedness that we share
as one
every action that we take affects everyone
so in deciding for what a situation calls
there is a path for the good for all
i try to make my every action for that highest
good
with the altrustic wish to achieve buddahood
so i pledge here before everyone who's listening
to try to make my every action for the good
of all beings
for the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond
i vow to do my best to do no harm
and in times of doubt i can think on the dharma
and the enlightened ones who've graduated
samsara
More Bodhisattva Vow
