SPECIAL BODHICITTA
For the sake of all mother sentient beings, I shall attain complete buddhahood. For
that purpose I shall practice the stages of the path: prostrating, offering and exhorting
the solemn promises of the blessed Medicine Guru Buddhas, the Eight Brothers and
their entourages. (3x)
PURIFYING THE PLACE
May the surface of the Earth in every direction
Be stainless and pure, without roughness or fault,
As smooth as the palm of a childs soft hand
And as natural polished as lapis lazuli.
OFFERING PRAYER
May the material offering of gods and of human,
Both those set before me and those visualized
Like a cloud of peerless offerings of Samantabhadra,
Pervade and encompass the vastness of space.

EXTENSIVE POWER OF TRUTH
By the force of the truth of the Three Jewels of Refuge,
By the firm inspiration from all buddhas and bodhisattvas,
By the power of the buddhas who have fully completed their collections of both good
merit and insight,
By the might of the void, inconceivable and pure,
May all of these offerings be hereby transformed into their actual nature of voidness.
(In this way bless the surrounding and the articles of offerings)
Through the power of supreme truth of the buddhas and bodhisattvas blessings,
Might of the two collections, and dharmadhatus purity,
May this realms beings and environment be enriched
With all samsara and nirvanas desirable perfections like Sukhavati.

Colophon:
Composed by the Omniscient Panchen Lama Lozang Chokyi Gyeltsen, the First Panchen Lama (15701662).
Translated from the Tibetan language by David Molk in 1993 under the compassionate guidance of Ven. Geshe
Tsulga of Sera Je Monastery, now resident teacher at Kurukulla Center. Lightly edited and reformatted by Wendy
Cook, with Thubten Damchoes assistance, November 11, 2008.
The final four dedication verses were written by Geshe Tsulga with the positive intention to bring about benefit on May 3,
1997, as a dedication of merit of making offerings, prostrations, and so on to the Holy Medicine Buddha and retinue.
