Wisdom of today.

If I neglect to cultivate virtue

Even when I have the good fortune to do so.

What shall I do when I am confused

By the sufferings of the miserable realms?

And also:

Saying, "Who will protect me

From this great terror?"

I will stare, aghast.

And search all around for a refuge.

Seeing no refuge anywhere,

I will be completely dejected.

If there is no refuge there.

What will I do?

Thus, from today, I go for refuge

To the Conqueror, protector of living beings.

The one who strives to rescue living beings.

The mighty one who dispels all fear.

Chapter of the Truth Speaker says:320

The Supreme Sage feels great compassion

When he sees beings whose minds

Are constantly obscured by the dark gloom of ignorance.

Locked in the prison of cyclic existence.

And also:

The Conqueror feels great compassion when he sees beings

Whose minds are overwhelmed by attachment.

Who have great craving and always long for sensory objects.

And who have fallen into the ocean of craving's attachment.

The One Possessing the Ten Powers feels compassion

Which seeks to dispel all suffering

When he sees the afflictions of beings

Harmed by a multitude of illnesses and miseries.

The Sage's compassion arises constantly;

It is impossible for it not to do so.

The Buddha is free of faults because he is concerned

With the needs of all living beings.
