For the benefit of all sentient being pervading space, I pay homage to and go for refuge in the gurus of
the ninefold lineage, the yidams and maala deities of the four and six tantric classes, and the ocean-like
gathering of mother lineage kins.

If the benefit of reciting this once were to assume form, it could not be contained in the whole of space.
