I pay heartfelt
homage to you, Lokesvara; You have true compassion extending to all. To those who in every coming and going have seen that each thing is inherently
void, and thus can devote both their time and their efforts with one aim in
mind - "Let me benefit all!"
To such foremost
Gurus and you, Lokesvara, All- seeing protector, with utmost respect I bow down before you in constant obeisance, and turn to your service my thoughts, words
and deeds.
The Fully Enlightened
Victorious Buddhas, from whom all true pleasure and benefits derive, have reached their attainment by following Dharma and leading their lives through
this noblest of paths. To live by the Dharma depends on full knowledge of how we must practise and
what we must do, thus I´ll attempt now a brief explanation of what is the
practise of all Buddhas` Sons.

This sound human body endowed with full leisure and excellent vessel is rare to be found. Since now we have obtained one in no way deficient, let`s work night and day without veering off course to take a cross the ocean and free from samsara not only ourselves but all others as well. First listen, think hard, then do much meditation - the Sons of the Buddhas all practise this way.

Remaining too long in one place our attraction to loved ones upsets us, we are tossed in its wake. The flames of our anger towards thus who annoy us consume what good merit we have gained in the past. The darkness of closed-minded thought dims our outlook, we loose vivid sight of what is right and what is wrong. We must give up our home and set forth from our country - the Sons of the Buddhas all practise this way.

Withdrawing completely from things that excite us, our mental disturbances slowly decline. And ridding our mind of directionless wandering, attention on virtue will surely increase. As wisdom shines clearer, the world comes in focus, our confidence grows in the Dharma we have learned. Live all alone far away in seclusion - the Sons of the Buddhas all practise this way.
