“…….never will I enter into final peace alone...."
What?
That is like the mantra of God or something!
Thank you for that.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

I think this is like the Bodhisattva vow, to help others enlighten before we reach Buddha hood.

See, I think it expresses Buddha hood or the highest good man can become. |

Correct.
At the end of the personal bodhisattva vows of Master Hua in the following link, are the four general bodhisattva vows that those who take refuge in Mahayana Buddhism also take.
