Uncertainty and the Bodhisattva vows (with chanting)

September 17, 2021

Today’s chant:

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

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

AUM Ah Hung Vajra Guru Pemé Siddhi Hung (x3)
