Bodhichitta

To Kuntuzangpo, the Buddhas and all their sons and daughters,
I go for Refuge with single-pointed devotion.
For the purpose of sentient beings, I generate the awakened mind.

~ The Great Perfection: Buddha in the Palm of the Hand

by H.H. The XIVth Dalai Lama

"Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up,
I am alive, I have a precious human life,
I am not going to waste it,
I am going to use all my energies to develop myself,
To expand my heart out to others,
To achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings,
I am going to have kind thoughts towards others,
I am not going to get angry, or think badly about others
I am going to benefit others as much as I can"
