Refuge and Bodhicitta

 
Sang-gye Cho-dang Tsog-kyi chog-nam-la

I take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha

Jang-chub bar-du dag-ni kyab-su-chi

Until I attain Enlightenment.

Dag-gi jin-sog gyi-pe so-nam-kyi

By merit accumulations from practicing generosity and the other perfections

Dro-la pan-chir Sang-gye drub-par-shog

May I attain Enlightenment, for the benefit of all sentient beings.

(3x)

 

Four Immeasurables

 
May all beings have happiness and its causes,

May they never have suffering nor its causes;

May they constantly dwell in joy transcending sorrow;

May they dwell in equal love for both near and far.

(3x)

 

Prayer of the Seven Limbs

 
With my body, speech, and mind, humbly I prostrate,

And make offerings both set out and imagined.

I declare my wrong deeds from all time,

And rejoice in the virtues of all.

Please stay until samsara ceases,

And turn the wheel of Dharma for us.

I dedicate all virtues to great Enlightenment.
