Bodhicitta Dedication Prayer

May the pure brilliant sun of bodhicitta
Dawn in each and every heart and mind
Dispelling the darkness of suffering and confusion
Unstoppably, until all are fully illumined and awakened.

The Four Immeasurable Aspirations

May I and all beings know happiness and the inner causes of happiness,
May I and all beings be free from sorrow and the inner causes of sorrow,
May I and all beings remain undivided from the sacred joy which is free from sorrow,
May I and all beings come to rest in the great equanimity beyond attachment, aversion, or indifference to “friends,” “enemies” or “strangers.”

Pure Perception and Bodhicitta

I and all beings are primordially Buddha.
Knowing this to be true, I am aligned with
supreme enlightened mind.

Prayer of Refuge—Lama John Makransky

We take refuge in the expanse of space,
primal awareness and unconfined capacity
which is the nature of everyone’s mind for the benefit of all.

Prayer of Refuge and Universal Love

In Buddha, Dharma and Sangha,
We go for refuge until enlightened.
By the power of generosity and the other perfections,
May we realize Buddhahood for the benefit of all.
