With the intention to attain
The ultimate, supreme goal
That surpases even the wish-granting jewel,
May I constantly cherish all living beings.
Whenever I associate with others,
May i view myself as the lowest of all;
And with a perfect intention,
May i cherish others as supreme.
Examining my mental continuum throughout
all my actions,
As soon as delusion develops
Whereby I or other would act inappropriately,
May I firmly face it and avert it.
Whenever I see unfortunate beings
Opressed by evil and violent suffering,
May i cherish them as if I had found
A rare and precious treasure.
Even if someone I have helped
And of whom I had great hopes
Nevertheless harms me without any reason,
May i see him as my holy spiritual guide.
When others out of jelousy
Harm me or insult me,
May I take defeat upon myself
And offer them the victory.
In short, may I directly and indirectly
Offer help and happiness to all my mothers,
And secretly take upon myself
All their Harm and suffering.
Futhermore, through all these methods practises,
Together with a mind undefiled by stains of
conceptions of the eight extremes
And that sees all phenomena as illusory,
May I be released from the bondage of mistaken
appearance and conception.
