I take refuge until I am enlightened in the Buddhas, the Dharma and the Sangha. By the positive

potential I reate !y pratiing generosity and the other far"reahing attitudes, may I attain

Buddhahood in order to !enefit all sentient !eings. (3X)

EIGHT VERSES OF THOUGHT TRANSFORMATION

#) $ith the thought of attaining enlightenment%or the &elfare of all !eings

$ho are more preious than a &ishfulling 'e&el,

I &ill onstantly pratie holding them dear.

) $henever I am &ith others

I &ill pratie seeing myself as the lo&est of all.nd from the very depth of my heart

I &ill respetfully hold others as supreme.

3) In all ations I &ill e*amine my mind nd &hen the moment a distur!ing attitude arises,

+ndangering myself and others,

I &ill firmly onfront and avert it.

) $henever I meet a person of !ad nature

$ho is over&helmed !y negative energy and intense suffering,I &ill hold suh a rare one dear,

s if I have found a preious treasure.

-) $hen others, out of 'ealousy,istreat me &ith a!use, slander and so on,

I &ill pratie aepting defeat

nd offering the vitory to them.

/) $hen someone I have !enefited

nd in &hom I have plaed great trust0urts me very !adly,

I &ill pratie seeing that person as my supreme teaher.

1) In short, I &ill offer diretly and indiretly



+very !enefit and happiness to all !eings, my mothers.

I &ill pratie in seret taking upon myself ll their harmful ations and sufferings.

2) $ithout these praties !eing defiled !y the stains of the eight &orldly onerns,

By pereiving all phenomena as illusory,

I &ill pratie &ithout grasping to release all !eings%rom the !ondage of the distur!ing unsu!dued mind and karma.

*when one is engaged in any spiritual practice or activity, the motivation should not be stained by the

eight worldly concerns. They are the concern to encounter pleasure, material gain, praise and fine

reputation, to avoid pain, material loss, blame and poor reputation.
