Prayers

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.

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.”

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

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.

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.
