Bodhissatva vows (Martin’s version):

Countless are living beings
I vow to row them all to the further shore

Countless are the poisons
I vow to purify them all

Countless are the teachings
I vow to understand them all

Countless are the blessings
I vow to bow my heart to them all

And though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end

Yes though the road is endless
I vow to walk it to the very end

    An Open Heart in Hell
