11. Ascending and Descending
Whether it is stairs, steps, a ladder, or a mountain, with
a mind full of good will think while ascending, "May all
sentient beings, whatever stage of the bodhisattva path

"May all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas never forget

Think of all the dirt in the world: "May it be swept away,
and no one gather the dirt of the poisons!"
13. Drinking Tea
Say before drinking: "OM AH HUM," and take a drop
of it on the fingers, offer it to the Buddhas, and then
flick it off. By the mantra, the remainder which one
drinks has become nectar.

I hold this rice-bowl but even tomorrow I may not be
able to do so." In this way, develop the idea of
impermanence. Also renounce delicious tastes and
