Worthy bodhisattva,wise older sister,
teach me your ways,
help me learn your strength.
I strive to follow in your path:
traversing the thicket of samsara
to offer help and comfort to my fellow beings;
giving up my coat to protect them
from the howling winds of dukkha;
gladly filling my satchel
to lessen the burden of their pain;
offering 100,000 lifetimes to ferry them
across the stormy waters of samudaya to nirvana
(original poem by Dharmasattva)
