“There are many beings who want
Enlightenment in a man’s body,
but no one wants to be helpful
to the sentient beings
in a female body.
So, until Samsara will be empty,
I will help sentient beings
Remaining in a woman’s body!”
And so she vowed, “I have developed
bodhicitta as a woman. For all my lifetimes
along the path I vow to be born as a woman,
and in my final lifetime when I attain
Buddhahood, then, too, I will be a woman.”
