[Rinpoche continues leading recitation of Medicine Buddha mantra.]

Due to all the past, present, future merits collected by me, the three-time merits collected by others, may the bodhicitta be actualized within one’s heart, in the hearts of all the sentient beings, including all the students in the organization and all the benefactors, all those who, so many people in different parts of the world who sacrifice their life, bear so much hardships offering service to the organization, to benefit sentient beings, teaching of Buddha, in all their hearts and in the hearts of all those who rely upon me, whom I promised to pray, whose names is given to me, in all their hearts without delay even a second. And in whose heart bodhicitta is generated to be increased.

Then, bodhicitta to be actualized in the hearts of all the leaders of the world without delay even a second, okay. And bodhicitta to be actualized especially in the hearts of the Mainland China, all the top people who are controlling, in all their hearts bodhicitta to be actualized right now, without delay even a second, in all their hearts.

And especially bodhicitta, may it be actualized in the hearts of all the leaders of the religious, not only Buddhist but all other, every religious person’s, whether Muslim or Hindu, Christian, then all the rest, in everyone’s heart bodhicitta to be actualized within their hearts without delay even a second.
