At this beautiful morning ,the teacher wisdom will shaped one
towards a wholesome morning
I prostrate to the Bodhisattva
Youthful Manjushri.
(1) Having prostrated most respectfully to all the
Triumphant
of the three
times,
To their
Dharma and to the
Sangha community,
I shall light a lampfor the path
to enlightenment,
Having been urged by my excellent disciple, Jangchub-wo
(7) Before paintings, statues, and so on of fully enlightened
Buddhas,
As well as
stupas and hallowed (Dharma texts),
Offer flowers, incense,
And whatever material things you may have.
(8) Also with the seven-limb offering mentioned in
(The Prayer of) Excellent Conduct,
With the
mind never to turn back until
The ultimate (realization)
of your Buddha-essence,
(9) With supreme belief in the Three Supreme Gems,
With bent knee touching the ground
And palms pressed together,
Firstly,
take safe direction three times.
(10) Next, with a mind of
love toward all
limited beings as a start,
Look to all
wandering beings, baring none,
Suffering from birth and so forth in the three worse realms,
And from death, transference, and so on.
(11) Then, with the wish that all wandering beings
Be
liberated from the suffering of pain,
From suffering, and from the
causes of suffering,
Generate pledged bodhichitta with which you will never turn
back.
(12) The benefits of generating aspiring minds like this
Have been thoroughly explained
By Maitreya in
The
Sutra Spread Out Like a Tree Trunk.
