Deepest Desire...

Opening our Heart wide, we turn to the perfect highest awakening.
We are resolved to attain understanding,
to realize deep love & compassion,
to practice diligently,
transforming our own suffering &
that of all species.

All the merits of body, speech & mind I want to direct
to be part of the happiness of all people &
all species.

This is my deepest desire.

Apart from the Bodhicitta ( highest awakening ),
Apart from the thirst for Great Understanding,
Apart from the vow to Love Deeply,
I have no more desires.

~ Buddhist Chant ( rendered by Thich Nhat Hanh )
