in accordance with the

Pure Lands and

living beings suffering in samsara below by
compassionately

Bhikshu
Shantideva’s Bodhisattvacharyavatara says:
Just as Manjushri
works
To fulfill the aims of all limited beings
To the far reaches of space in the ten directions,
May my
behavior become just like that.
For as long as space remains,
And for as long as wandering beings remain,
May
I too remain for that
long,
Dispelling the sufferings
of wandering
beings.
(Like Ananda says in the Shurangama Sutra introduction
to the Shurangama Mantra,
"And even could the nature of
shunyata melt away, my vajra-like
Supreme Resolve would
still remain unmoved.)
Whatever sufferings wandering beings might have,
May all of them ripen on me,
And through the Bodhisattva
assembly,
May wandering beings enjoy happiness.
May
the teachings,
the sole medicine for the sufferings of wandering beings
And the
source of all happiness,
Continue to endure for a very
long time,
With material support and shows of
respect.
