The Heart like a Compassionate Mother’s
Immeasurable times, I was not willing to be at the mercy of the reality.
Immeasurable times, I cried out in impotence, “Why can I never get what I want?”
The restless greed in my heart made me ignore your heart like a compassionate mother’s!
With the heart of a compassionate mother who always worries about her children, ”I do not stay with my children. Whether are they safe or healthy in both bodies and minds? Can they live a nice life in the future? Will they have suffering or disasters? What can I do for my child before it’s too late?”, you have always worried about us, saying” who will help you when I am not capable of withstanding and enduring all the karma from you?”
With the heart of a compassionate mother, you have kept us in mind all the time for fear of making a mistake and losing us. Furthermore, as if walking on thin ice, you have respected us and acted in conformity to all aspects of us for fear that we, who are like the foolish children, go mad at any time and leave their mother, will fall into miserable path and difficulties.
When I look back, I find I have always been living in the light of your unique compassion. Even if the sun and moon would fall down; even if Mount Sumeru would be movable, your compassionate heart as a mother’s will never change.
Your kindness of bearing and nurturing our wisdom is as great as the world.
Your virtue of pitying us is extensive and Unparalleled.
the light of your kindness and compassion has been illuminating and protecting sentient beings forever.
Because of these, I am full of gratitude and feel happy and peaceful, which is subtle and beyond words.
I vow that all sentient beings will be grateful to you, our Kind Mentor, can catch all the aid of the power of vows from you forever and then let it manifest in them for all eternity. I vow that they will also have the same vows as you, help and save all sentient beings without discrimination.
