1.18
But one could never perceive a limit to the qualities of a buddha.
“ ‘May all beings become like that,
With those qualities, colors, fame, and renown,
With bodies adorned by the signs of goodness
And beautified by the eighty features.
“ ‘May I,⁸⁴ through this good karma,
Become before long a buddha in the world.
May I teach the Dharma for the benefit of beings,
And may I free beings afflicted by many sufferings.
“ ‘May I be victorious over powerful Māra and his army.
May I turn the good wheel of the Dharma.
May I remain for countless eons,
And may I satisfy beings with the water of amṛta.
“ ‘May I bring to completion the supreme six perfections,
Just as the jinas of the past have completed them.
May I destroy the kleśas and clear away suffering,
And bring desire, anger, and ignorance to an end.
“ ‘May I always remember lifetimes—
A hundred lifetimes, ten billion lifetimes.
May I constantly recollect the lords of munis,
And may I listen to their vast speech.
“ ‘May I through these good actions
Always succeed in meeting with buddhas.
May I completely forsake bad actions
And may I practice good actions, the source of merit.⁸⁵
“ ‘May all the bad karma of all beings
In every realm come to an end in their worlds.
May those beings with impaired faculties and defective limbs
All possess complete faculties on this day.⁸⁶
“ ‘May those in the ten directions who have no protector,
And are sick, weak, and feeble in body,
All be quickly freed from illness
And gain health, strength, and their faculties.
“ ‘May those whose lives are endangered by attacks from kings⁸⁷ and robbers
And are in distress from hundreds of various kinds of suffering—
All those beings in misfortune and who are suffering—
Become freed from hundreds of the greatest, most dreadful terrors.
“ ‘Those who are beaten, who are in painful bondage,
Who remain in various kinds of distress,
