7 Noble Branch Prayer


1. With complete faith and trust, I bow,
to all the Victorious Ones and their sons
who dwell in the ten directions and three times.

2. I array the offering at the holy shrines,
Water, flowers, incense, lights,
Scented water, food, and music,
along with many other things.
I offer them in real and with imagination.
I request the kind Noble Assembly to accept them.

3. I confess and repent all the evil deeds that I have done,
from the past until now.
Influenced by defilements,
The non-virtuous acts were done through body, speech and mind.

4. I rejoice in delight from the merits gained by
Sravakas, Pratyeka Buddhas, Bodhisatvas and ordinary beings,
throughout the three times.

5. I pray that The Dharma Wheel continue to be turned;
The teachings of the Mahayana and Hinayana continue to be flourished,
and benefit all beings with different aptitudes and motivations inside them.

6. I beseech the Buddhas of ten directions not to pass away into Nirvana,
But to stay until Samsara is empty;
To save all sentient beings
who drown themselves in the ocean of Samsara.

7. May whatever merits I have accumulated
Become a seed for Enlightenment for all beings,
Without delay,
May I become a splendid leader to lead all beings across the ocean of samsara.


 I recommend you to do the above prayer 3 times a day, morning, noon time, and before sleep. You may read this prayers aloud or silently at anywhere.
