These are the wonderful prostrations. On another post, I will post a guided insight to them, and how I perceive each verse. I really think you need to say these outloud , along with OM MANI PADME HUM. Fully meditated. You may smile mindfully after reading these to yourself. They answer a lot of life’s questions.

1. Determined to obtain the greatest possible benefit from all sentient beings, who are more precious than a wish-fulfilling jewel, I shall hold them most dear at all times.

OM MANI PADME HUM

2. When in company of others, I shall always consider myself as the lowest of all, and from the depths of my heart hold others dear and supreme.

OM MANI PADME HUM

3. Vigilant, the moment a delusion appears in my mind, endangering myself and others, I shall confront and avert it without delay.

OM MANI PADME HUM

4. Whenever I see beings who are wicked in nature and who are overwhelmed by violent negative actions and suffering, I shall hold such rare ones dear, as if I had found a precious treasure.

OM MANI PADME HUM

5. When out of envy others mistreat me with abuse, insults or the like, I shall accept defeat and offer victory to others.

OM MANI PADME HUM

6. When someone whom I have benefited and in whom I have placed great hope in gives me terrible harm I shall regard that person as my holy guru.

OM MANI PADME HUM

7. In short, both directly and indirectly, do I offer every happiness and benefit to all my mothers. I shall secretly take upon myself all their harmful actions and sufferings.

OM MANI PADME HUM

8. Undefiled by the stains of the superstitions of the Eight World concerns may I , my perceiving all phenomena as illusory, be released from the bondage of attachment.

OM MANI PADME HUM

Mantra of Avalokiteshvara.
