In the 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.




Pure Perception and Bodhicitta 


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

 And thereby uplift each and every being 
To that same state.

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

 HUNG At the Northwest border of Uddiyana,
 Upon a lotus flower’s pistil,
 You have attained marvelous, supreme realization.
 You are renowned as the “Lotus Born”,
 Encompassed by vast retinues of Dakinis.
 By emulating you we too shall awaken.
 Please be present to us,
 in blessing and inspiration:

 Indescribable, inconceivable and inexpressible is Prajnaparamita, 
Unborn, unceasing, the essence of space,
 Experienced by reflexively aware wisdom— 
Homage to the mother of all Buddhas.

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