{Think of the Great Aim: bodhicitta is the aim to become a Buddha, in order to bring the greatest benefit to all sentient beings}
Vow
From this point forward,
I dedicate myself to removing the suffering of all living beings,
and to bringing them happiness
I dedicate myself fully to their healing and awakening;
to their all having comfort,
strength of body, mind, and spirit,
most excellent nourishment, health, longevity
every level of protection,
shelter, food, clothing, medicine, education,
joy and wisdom
In order to accomplish the needs of living beings
in the most effective way,
I will develop my wisdom and compassion
just as my teachers have done
I aim to become free of all faults, and complete in all qualities
and, day by day, hour by hour
always offer as much help as I can
In this way, I will make a gift of my life
In this way, my own life will be fulfilled
I dedicate myself fully, leaving nothing out,
to the complete healing, fulfillment and enlightenment
of all living beings
No matter how long it takes
no matter how difficult it may be
no matter what it costs
With all my heart and with all my strength,
I vow to always serve all living beings
in every way that is necessary for them
and in every way that will bring each and every one of them
true and lasting health and happiness
