Generating A Mind for Enlightenment
With a wish to free all beings
I shall always go for refuge
To the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
until I reach full enlightenment


Enthused by the wisdom and compassion,
Today in the Buddha's presence
I generate a mind for full awakening
for the benefit of all sentient beings


As long as space endures
As long as sentient beings remain
I too shall remain
and dispel the miseries of the world

Dedication Prayer
May the supreme jewel bodhichitta that has not arisen, arise and grow; and that which has  arisen not diminish but increase more and more. Just as the brave Manjushri, and  Samantabhadra too, realized things as they are, also I dedicate all these merits in the best way,  that I may follow their perfect example.
