As I Develop The Awakening Mind I Praise The Buddha As They Shine. I Bow Before You As I Travel My Path To Join Your Ranks. I Make My Full Time Task. For The Sake Of All Beings I Seek. The Enlighted Mind That I Know I'll Reap. Respect To Shantideva And All The Others. Who Brought Down The Darma For Sisters And Brothers. I Give Thanks For This World As A Place To Learn. And For This Human Body That I'm Glad To Have Earned. And My Deepest Thanks To All Sentient Beings. For Without Them There Would Be No Place To Learn What I'm Seeing. There's Nothing Here That's Not Been Said Before. But I Put It Down Now So I'll Be Sure. To Solidify My Own Views And I'll Be Glad If It Helps. Anyone Else Out Too. . If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack. I'll Stop And Think Before I React. Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages. I'll Take The Opportunity To Exercise Patience. I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person. Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen. A Change For Me To Be Strong And Sure. As I Think On The Buddhas Who Have Come Before. As I Praise And Respect The Good They've Done. Knowing Only Love Can Conquer In Every Situation. We Need Other People In Order To Create. The Circumstances For The Learning That We're Here To Generate. Situations That Bring Up Our Deepest Fears. So We Can Work To Release Them Until They're Cleared. Therefore It Only Makes Sense. To Thank Our Enemies Despite Their Intent. . The Bodhisattva Path Is One Of Power And Strength. A Strength From Within To Go The Length. Seeing Others Are As Important As Myself. I Strive For A Happiness Of Mental Wealth. With The Interconnectedness That We Share As One. Every Action That We Take Affects Everyone. So In Deciding For What A Situation Calls. There Is A Path For The Good For All. I Try To Make My Every Action For That Highest Good. With The Altruistic Wish To Achive Buddhahood. So I Pledge Here Before Everyone Who's Listening. To Try To Make My Every Action For The Good Of All Beings. For The Rest Of My Lifetimes And Even Beyond. I Vow To Do My Best To Do No Harm. And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma.
