Sentient beings are numberless; I vow to liberate them.

Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to transcend them.

Dharma teachings are boundless; I vow to master them.

The Buddha's enlightened way is unsurpassable;

I vow to embody it.

For the ultimate benefit of all beings without

exception, throughout this and all my lifetimes,

I dedicate myself to the practice and realization

of enlightenment until all beings together reach

that goal.

The Dalai Lama himself has given the Bodhisattva Vow in this country and around the world. At public gatherings I have often heard him praying aloud in Tibetan. This passionate prayer, which is culled from Shantideva's classic, The Path of the Bodhisattva, epitomizes the involved and evolved attitude of Mahayana Buddhism. As you can see, the Dalai Lama isn't giving up his efforts.
