Seven Limbed Prayer composed by Shantideva

I prostrate to all the Buddhas who have graced the three times,
To the Dharma and to the Highest Assembly,
Bowing down with bodies as numerous
As all the atoms of the world.

Just as Manjushri and others
Have made offerings to the Triumphant,
So do I make offerings to the Thusly Gone Ones
And to our Guardians, their Spiritual Offspring.

From beginningless samsara, in this and other lives,
I have unwittingly committed destructive acts,
Or caused others to do likewise,
Bewildered by the confusion of naivety.
I have even rejoiced in all this.
Seeing these mistakes, I openly declare them
To you, our Guardians, from the depth of my heart.

With happiness I rejoice at the ocean of virtues
of developing bodhichitta,
Wishing to bring joy to all limited beings
And working for everyone's sake.

With hands pressed together,
I request the Buddhas of all directions
To light the lamp of Dharma for those who are groping
In the darkness of suffering.

Triumphant Ones, wishing to pass beyond sorrow,
I beseech you with hands pressed together:
These beings wander blindly with no one to guide them;
Please live for eons beyond all count.

By the positive force built up
From all I have done in this way,
May all sufferings
Of every limited being disappear.
