Generating Bodhicitta

SANGEY CHÖ DANG TSOK KYI CHOK NAM LA
JANG CHUP PAR DU DA NYI KYAP SU CHI
DAK GEE JIN SOK GYI PEH SO NAM KYI
DROL LA PEN CHIR SANGEY DRUP PAR SHAUG

I GO FOR REFUGE UNTIL I AM ENLIGHTENED TO THE BUDDHAS, THE DHARMA, AND THE SANGHA.
FROM THE VIRTUOUS MERIT THAT I ACCUMULATE BY PRACTICING GIVING AND OTHER PERFECTIONS,
MAY I ATTAIN THE STATE OF BUDDHA TO BE FULLY ABLE TO BENEFIT ALL OTHER SENTIENT BEINGS.

MAY ALL SENTIENT BEINGS ABIDE IN EQUANIMITY, FREE FROM ATTACHMENT AND ANGER THAT HOLD SOME CLOSE AND OTHERS DISTANT.

Visualizing the Merit Field

  In the sky in front of me is an attractive throne of precious gems, upon which is a cushion of lotus supported at each corner by a pair of snow lions. Seated upon this throne is the Buddha Shakyamuni, of purest gold in color, and adorned with a crown protrusion.
  His right hand is in the gesture of touching the earth, thus evoking it to witness his awakening, and his left hand rests in his lap in the meditation pose, holding a bowl filled with pure white nectar that cures all beings of their miseries and sufferings.
  He sits in the vajra cross-legged position, wearing a brilliant saffron robe and slightly smiling at me.
