Lyrics for Bodhisattva Vow by Boys Beastie:
| | | Artist: | Boys Beastie |
| | Album: | Ill Communication | | Track: | Bodhisattva Vow | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 82 | | | | Lyrics: | As I Develop The Awakening Mind I Praise The Buddha As They Shine
I Bow Before You As I
Travel My Path To Join Your Ranks,
I Make My Full Time Task
For The Sake Of All
Beings I Seek
The Enlighted Mind That I Know I'll Reap
Respect To Shantideva And All
The Others
Who Brought Down The Darma For Sisters And Brothers
I Give Thanks For
This World As A Place To Learn
And For This Human Body That I'm Glad To Have Earned
And My Deepest Thanks To All Sentient Beings
For Without Them There Would Be No Place To
Learn What I'm Seeing
There's Nothing Here That's Not Been Said Before
But I Put It
Down Now So I'll Be Sure
To Solidify My Own Views And I'll Be Glad If It Helps
Anyone Else Out Too
If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack
I'll Stop And Think
Before I React =
Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages
I'll Take The
Opportunity To Exercise Patience
I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person
Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen
A Change For Me To Be Strong And Sure
As I
Think On The Buddhas Who Have Come Before
As I Praise And Respect The Good They've Done
Knowing Only Love Can Conquer In Every Situation
We Need Other People In Order To
Create
The Circumstances For The Learning That We're Here To Generate
Situations
That Bring Up Our Deepest Fears
So We Can Work To Release Them Until They're Cleared
Therefore, It Only Makes Sense
To Thank Our Enemies Despite Their Intent
The
Bodhisattva Path Is One Of Power And Strength
A Strength From Within To Go The Length
Seeing Others Are As Important As Myself
I Strive For A Happiness Of Mental Wealth
With The Interconnectedness That We Share As One
Every Action That We Take Affects
Everyone
So In Deciding For What A Situation Calls
There Is A Path For The Good For
All
I Try To Make My Every Action For That Highest Good
With The Altruistic Wish To
Achive Buddhahood
So I Pledge Here Before Everyone Who's Listening
To Try To Make My
Every Action For The Good Of All Beings
For The Rest Of My Lifetimes And Even Beyond
I Vow To Do My Best To Do No Harm
And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma
And The Enlightened Ones Who've Graduated Samsara | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
