The Bodhisatta Vow

Delusions are inexhaustible;
I vow to cultivate clearest wisdom.

The number of beings is endless;
I vow to awaken and achieve liberation with them all.

The Truth cannot be told;
I vow to tell it.

The Way which cannot be followed is unattainable;
I vow to attain it.

As long as there is suffering
As long as there are sentient beings in the six realms
May I never Awaken without all sentient beings
And never cross over into Nirvana
until all are ready to cross.
