“At all times, again and again, 

we should make vast prayers for the sake of all beings. 

When falling asleep we should think, 

‘May all beings achieve the absolute state’; 

when waking up, ‘May all beings awake into the enlightened state’; 

when getting up, ‘May all beings obtain the body of the Buddha’; 

when putting on clothes, ‘May all beings have modesty and sense of shame’; 

when lighting a fire, ‘May all beings burn the wood of disturbing emotions’; 

when eating, ‘May all beings eat the food of concentration’; 

when opening a door, ‘May all beings open the door to the city of liberation’; 

when closing a door ‘May all beings close the door to lower realms’; when going outside, ‘May I set out on the path to free all beings’; 

when walking uphill, ‘May I take all beings to the higher realms’; 

when walking downhill, ‘May I go to free beings from lower realms’; when seeing happiness, ‘May all beings achieve the happiness of Buddhahood’; 

when seeing suffering, ‘May the suffering of all beings be pacified’.”

H.H. Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
