BODHISATTVA'S PRAYER


This tendency to take offense and hate, afraid of anything or anyone – replace it, Lord, with something truly great: the courage, Lord, to get my mission done. To save the world’s impossible, I know, but that’s the task to which I now commit! Please, fill me up with love from head-to-toe, encourage me, so I will never quit! Deluding passions, all of you, begone! Lord, help me save some sentient beings now! May here a world of constant prayer dawn; since I’d be like the Buddha, show me how! Please and thank you!
