THE SEVEN LIMBED PRAYER
(the basis for all pujas & sadhana prayers)
I bow in devotion to the Buddha, His Teachings,
and His Spiritual Community.
I present to them an infinite array of precious offerings, both set out before me and mentally visualized.
I confess all negative actions and downfalls
committed since beginning-less time out of attachment, anger, and ignorance.
I rejoice in the contentment, patience, compassion, and wisdom and the virtuous actions of myself and others performed in the past, the present, & the future.
I request all of you to continuously turn the wheel of the Dharma, teaching all sentient beings the path to Buddhahood.
I request you to remain with us until this realm of suffering, which is called samsara, is completely emptied.
I dedicate the merits accumulated by this prayer, and other such actions, to the attainment of Buddhahood
for the benefit of all beings.
