  At this beautiful morning ,the teacher wisdom will shaped one towards a wholesome morning

   

  I prostrate to the Bodhisattva Youthful Manjushri.

  Promise to Compose

  (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

   

  The Ritual for Aspiring Bodhichitta, Together with Advice

  (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.
