With the blazing eyes of Dakini, I see clearly all the suffering in the world. I wrap my arms around every living creature, and from the depths of my heart, I gather all their suffering and bring it directly into every kernel of my own heart. I hold it there. I breathe it in. I weep. The tears are purifying, and my heart expands with all the goodness, virtue and fortune of my own life and breathing out, I send it all, every bit of it, to the suffering beings in the world. There is an natural pause and, in this gap, loving energy rises and burns. May I always be a source, a wish-fulfilling jewel, the one who holds the diamond and may I always give it away.
As fierce Dakini, I pray to follow Shantideva's teachings.
May I become at all times, both now and forever,
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need.
i can feel it Ellen! your fierce commitment shining thorugh!
