           May the precious and supreme bodhicitta

           Arise in those in whom it has not yet arisen;

           And where it has arisen may it not decrease

           But ever increase more and more.

Andreas Kretchmar

May the precious and sublime awakened mind
Arise in those where it has not arisen.
Where it has arisen may it never wane
But continue to increase forever more.
