Wisdom and Compassion as a Way of Life
བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་མཆོག་རིན་པོ་ཆེ། །
May the sublime and precious bodhicitta
མ་སྐྱེས་པ་རྣམས་སྐྱེས་གྱུར་ཅིག །
Arise in those in whom it has not arisen.
སྐྱེས་པ་ཉམས་པ་མེད་པར་ཡང་། །
Where it has arisen, may it never decline
གོང་ནས་གོང་དུ་འཕེལ་བར་ཤོག །
But grow and flourish more and more
Explore
