Beastie Boys - Bodhisattva Vow 2 lyrics

Your rating:

I Bow Before You As I Travel My Path To Join Your Ranks,
 I Make My Full Time Task
 For The Sake Of All Beings I Seek
 The Enlighted Mind That I Know I'll Reap
 Respect To Shantideva And All The Others
 Who Brought Down The Darma For Sisters And Brothers
 I Give Thanks For This World As A Place To Learn
 And For This Human Body That I'm Glad To Have Earned
 And My Deepest Thanks To All Sentient Beings
 For Without Them There Would Be No Place To Learn What I'm Seeing
 There's Nothing Here That's Not Been Said Before
 But I Put It Down Now So I'll Be Sure
 To Solidify My Own Views And I'll Be Glad If It Helps
 Anyone Else Out Too
 If Others Disrespect Me Or Give Me Flack
 I'll Stop And Think Before I React =
 Knowing That They're Going Through Insecure Stages
 I'll Take The Opportunity To Exercise Patience
 I'll See It As A Chance To Help The Other Person
 Nip It In The Bud Before It Can Worsen
 A Change For Me To Be Strong And Sure
 As I Think On The Buddhas Who Have Come Before
 As I Praise And Respect The Good They've Done
 Knowing Only Love Can Conquer In Every Situation
 We Need Other People In Order To Create
 The Circumstances For The Learning That We're Here To Generate
 Situations That Bring Up Our Deepest Fears
 So We Can Work To Release Them Until They're Cleared
 Therefore, It Only Makes Sense
 To Thank Our Enemies Despite Their Intent
 The Bodhisattva Path Is One Of Power And Strength
 A Strength From Within To Go The Length
 Seeing Others Are As Important As Myself
 I Strive For A Happiness Of Mental Wealth
 With The Interconnectedness That We Share As One
 Every Action That We Take Affects Everyone
 So In Deciding For What A Situation Calls
 There Is A Path For The Good For All
 I Try To Make My Every Action For That Highest Good
 With The Altruistic Wish To Achive Buddhahood
 So I Pledge Here Before Everyone Who's Listening
 To Try To Make My Every Action For The Good Of All Beings
 For The Rest Of My Lifetimes And Even Beyond
 I Vow To Do My Best To Do No Harm
 And In Times Of Doubt I Can Think On The Dharma
 And The Enlightened Ones Who've Graduated Samsara
