Vow of the Bodhisattva "With the wish to free all beings until they reach full awakening I will always go for refuge to the buddha, the dharma and the sangha. Today, in the presence of the enlightened ones inspired by wisdom, compassion and joyous effort I generate the mind aspiring to full buddhahood for the well-being of all sentient beings. For as long as space endures and for as long as sentient beings remain Until then, may I too abide To dispel the misery of the world."
