A Bodhisattva's Prayer

I take refuge in Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha
until I attain enlightenment.
By practicing generosity and the other perfections
may I be able to attain enlightenment
for the benefit of all sentient beings.
May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all beings be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
May all beings never be separated from the joy that is free of sorrow.
May all beings dwell in equanimity, free of attachment and aversion.
