May I be a balm to the sick, their healer and servitor
Until sickness comes never again;

May I quench with rains of food and drink the anguish of hunger and thrist;

May I be in the famine of the age’s end their drink and meat;

May I become an unfailing store for the poor, and serve them with manifold things for their need.

My own being and my pleasures, all my righteousness in the past, present and future, I surrender indifferently,

That all creatures may win through to their end.

From Shantideva’s Bodhicaryavatara, chap. 3, vv. 7-10, quoted in E.A. Burtt, Teachings of the Compassionate Buddaha
