Contact Jin Lian Hua (Carry Kim)
Way of the Bodhisattva
May I be the protector for those
without one
A guide for all travelers on the way
May I be a bridge, a boat, a ship
For all who wish to cross the water
May I be an island for those who seek one
And a lamp for those desiring light,
May I be a bed for all who wish to rest
And a slave for all who want a slave
Just like space and the great elements
Such as Earth,
May I always support the life of all the
boundless creatures
And until they pass away from pain,
May I also be the source of life
For all the realms of varied beings that
reach until the end of space.
As long as space endures
And as long as living beings endure
May I too remain
To dispel the misery of the world.
~ Shantideva
