Faith, shame, fear of wrong, great learning, and also effort, mindfulness, concentration, penetrative insight, diamond-like wisdom, and wisdom, may they succeed for me until enlightenment. 244. Having abandoned lust, hatred, and delusion, views, conceit, and doubt, free from stinginess, envy, and defilements, may I be humble and unwavering. I would not be despised by anyone, And wealth given to the worthy; This wealth and body of mine, obtained, Surely would be for the benefit of others. 246. Righteously I would support my mother and father, Revering elders and being of great help; Among relatives, friends, and even rivals, I would promote growth and my own welfare. 247. Approaching the Lord Metteyya, And revering his being; Having received a complete prophecy, "This one will be a Buddha in the future." 248. Untainted by any worldly thing, Delighting in giving, well-established in virtue; Sharing in renunciation, attaining supreme wisdom, I would be endowed with strength and power. 249. Even if my head, hands, and feet Were cut off, I would practice patience; Established in truth, as if on a vow, I would be endowed with loving-kindness and equanimity. 250. Having made the five great sacrifices, Not straying from the path to full enlightenment; Having cut off defilements and the five Māras, I will be a Buddha in the future.
