Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

ainsi puissé-je, et de toute maniére, dans l’immensité du monde, contribuer à la vie de tout ce qui est, — aussi longtemts que toute créature n’est pas délivrée. 
so may I in various wise support the whole sphere of life lodged in space, until all be at peace.

Dans les mêmes dispositions où se trouvaient les anciens Bouddhas pour prendre la pensée de Bodhi ; de même qu’ils se sont fixès dans les observances des bodhisattvas, pratiquant dans l’ordre les [vertus parfaites] ; 
As the Blessed of old took the Thought of Enlightenment and held fast to the rule for sons of Enlightenment in the order thereof, 
tadvad utpādayāmy eṣa bodhicittaṃ jagaddhite |
tadvad eva ca tāḥ śikṣāḥ śikṣiṣyāmi yathā kramam ||23||

de bśin ’gro la phan don du | | byaṅ chub sems ni bskyed bgyi źiṅ | |

dans ces mêmes dispositions, je conçois la pensée de Bodhi pour le salut du monde ; de même, je pratiquerai dans l’ordre les observances. 
so do I frame the Thought of Enlightenment for the weal of the world, and so will I observe these rules in their sequence.

mjug kyaṅ rgyas par bya ba’i phyir | | sems ni ’di ltar gzeṅs bstod do | | 
 
Et quand le sage, avec amour, a pris pieusement possession de la pensée de Bodhi, il exalte cette pensée pour en assurer dans l’avenir la croissance [saufgarde, pureté, développement] : 
When he has thus taken the Thought of Enlightenment in a spirit of grace, the sage must fill his thought with gladness in order to strengthen the issue.

Aujourd’hui ma naissance ets féconde, et je profite de ma qualité d’homme ; aujourd’hui je suis né dans la famille du Bouddha : je suis maintenant fils du Bouddha. 
This day my birth is fruitful, my human life a blessing; this day have I been born in the race of the Enlightened, now am I their son.

Et désormais je dois accomplir le devoir où ma famille est accoutumée : je ne veux pas être une tache dans cette famille immaculée. 
And henceforth mine is the task of them who work worthily of their race, lest any blemish fall upon this stainless stock.

Comme un aveugle trouve une perle dans un tas d’ordures, je ne sais par quel miracle la pensée de Bodhi est née en moi : 
This Thought of Enlightenment has arisen within me I know not how, even as a gem might be gotten by a blind man from a dunghill;

remède suprème contre l’universelle maladie; arbre qui repose les créatures fatiguées d’errer dans les chemins de l’existence ; 
a supreme balm to allay the world’s sickness, a tree under which may rest all creatures wearied with wandering over life’s paths,

pont ouvert à tous les voyageurs pour traverser les mauvaises destinées. Elle se lève la lune de la [bonne] pensée pour calmer dans tout l’univers la chaleur des passions, 
a bridge open to all wayfarers for passing over hard ways, a moon of thought arising to cool the fever of the world’s sin,

[ou bien] c’est un soleil qui chasse de l’univers les ténèbres de l’ignorance ; un beurre nouveau produit par le barattement du lait de la bonne loi. 
a great sun driving away the gloom of the world’s ignorance, a fresh butter created by the churning of the milk of the Good Law.

Le banquet de bonheur est préparé : elle y est conviée, — car tous ceux qui viendront de n’importe où seront rassasiés, — la caravane des voyageurs errant par les existences et affamés de bonheur. 
For the caravan of beings who wander through life’s paths hungering to taste of happiness this banquet of bliss is prepared, that will satisfy all creatures coming to it.

Je convie aujourd’hui l’univers entier à la possession de la Bodhi ; en attendant, aux félicités des existences. Je prends à témoin tous les éternels [Protecteurs] ; que les dieux et les Asuras se réjouissent ! 
I summon to-day the world to the estate of Enlightenment, and meanwhile to happiness; may gods, daemons, and other beings rejoice in the presence of all the Saviours!
