As I develop the awakening mind[00:00:00]

I praise the Buddhas as they shine[00:00:02]

I bow before you as I travel my path to join your ranks[00:00:04]

I make my full time task[00:00:08]

For the sake of all beings I seek[00:00:10]

The enlightened mind that I know I'll reap[00:00:12]

Respect to Shantideva and all the others[00:00:14]

Who brought down the darma for their sisters and brothers[00:00:17]

I give thanks for this world as a place to learn[00:00:19]

And for this human body that I will have earned[00:00:22]

And my deepest thanks to all sentient beings[00:00:24]

For without them there would be no place to learn[00:00:26]

What I'm seeing[00:00:28]

There's nothing here that's not been said before[00:00:29]

But I put it down now so that I'll be sure[00:00:31]

To solidify my own views and I'll be glad if it helps[00:00:33]

Anyone else out too[00:00:37]

If others disrespect me or give me flack[00:00:47]

I'll stop and think before I react[00:00:50]

Knowing that they're going through insecure stages[00:00:53]

I'll take the opportunity to exercise patience[00:00:55]

I'll see it as a chance to help the other person[00:00:58]

Nip it in the bud before it can worsen[00:01:00]

A chance for me to be strong and sure[00:01:03]

As I think on the Buddhas who have come before[00:01:05]

As I praise and respect the good they've done[00:01:07]

Knowing only love can conquer in every situation[00:01:10]

We need other people in order to create[00:01:12]

The circumstances for the learning that we're here to generate[00:01:14]

Situations that bring up my deepest fears[00:01:17]

So we can work to release them until they're cleared[00:01:19]

Therefore it only makes sense[00:01:22]

To thank our enemies despite their intent[00:01:24]

The Bodhisattva path is one of power and strength[00:01:38]

A strength from within to go the length[00:01:48]

Seeing others are as important as myself[00:01:51]

I strive for a happiness of mental wealth[00:01:53]

With the interconnectedness that we share as one[00:01:56]

Every action that we take affects everyone[00:01:58]

So in deciding for what a situation calls[00:02:00]

There is a path for the good of all[00:02:03]

I try to make my every action for that highest good[00:02:05]

With the altruistic wish to achieve buddhahood[00:02:08]

So I pledge here before everyone who's listening[00:02:10]

To try to make my every action for the good of all beings[00:02:13]

For the rest of my lifetimes and even beyond[00:02:16]

I vow to do my best to do no harm[00:02:18]

And in times of doubt I can think on the dharma[00:02:20]

And the enlightened ones who've graduated samsara[00:02:22]
