lyrics

From The Susiddhi, as quoted by Lama Je Tsong Khapa

In order to pacify the suffering
of limitless sentient beings,
to release them from bad migrations,
liberate them from afflictions,
and protect them completely from
the varieties of sufferings
when the discomforts of cyclic existence crowd in,
I will generate the altruistic mind of enlightenment.

May I always be a refuge
for all destitute sentient beings,
a protector of the protectorless,
a support of those without a support,
a refuge for the unprotected,
maker of the miserable happy.

May I cause the pacification
Of all sentient beings afflictions.

May whatever virtuous actions I have accumulated
in this and other lives
assume the aspects of the collections
which are called merit and wisdom.

May whatever effort I make
by way of the six perfections
be of benefit to all beings
without there being any exception.

Making effort until enlightenment,
I will strive at actions temporarily
and limitlessly over lives
so that,in short,
all the afflictions of all sentient beings may be pacified
and they be freed.
