You can use it as a daily prayer to cultivate great compassion and become a bodhisattva. It can also be uttered spontaneously when confronted by the suffering of others. It is said this Prayer is performed each morning by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.&amp;nbsp; Buddhism for Everyone with JoAnn Fox http://JoannFox.net <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/12241100/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/12241100
