Generating the Mind for Enlightenment

*This is a personal note...

Handout from Dalai Lama seminar
Recite the following verses and reflect upon the meaning of the words, while trying to enhance their altruism and compassion.

With a wish to free all beings
I shall always go for refuge
to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
until I reach full enlightenment.

Enthused by wisdom and compassion,
today in the Buddha's presence
I generate the Mind of Full Awakening
for the benefit of all sentient beings.

As long as space endures,
as long as sentient beings remain,
until then, may I too remain
and dispel the miseries of the world.
