Just something I wrote today: O, Great One, Because I, weak and deficient In all aspects of my conduct, Prone to all types of non-virtue And lacking all good qualities, Have created unbearable pain For myself and other sentient beings Out of persistent ignorance Of true and appropriate objects of refuge, Please grant me shelter [...]
