2.28

“ ‘If I have committed actions in past lives or the present
While in the circle of the three existences
That I am unaware of but that result in the lower existences,
May I be purified of them all, without remainder.

“ ‘May all beings who are in the ocean of existence,³⁰²
Tightly bound by the noose of saṃsāra,
Be cut free by the sword of wisdom
And, freed from suffering, quickly attain enlightenment.

“ ‘I rejoice in the entirety of all
The perfect, continuous merits
That are accomplished by beings in Jambudvīpa
Or in any other world realm whatsoever.

“ ‘I pray that the merit and rejoicing in
The many good actions of body, speech, and mind,
And this sublime, perfect action, constantly increase,³⁰³
So that the highest, great enlightenment will be attained.³⁰⁴

“ ‘By the merit of homage and praising a buddha’s qualities,³⁰⁵
With a mind that is pure and unpolluted,³⁰⁶
And by making dedications and prayers,
I pray that for sixty eons the lower existences will be transcended.

“ ‘If noble men and noble women, brahmins,
And the other sublime, supreme classes
Single-pointedly praise the buddhas with palms together,
Then in all their lives they will remember their lifetimes.

“ ‘They will have complete faculties and perfect bodies
And will have a perfection of all sublime qualities.
Throughout all their future lifetimes, may they
Always be looked up to by devas and humans.³⁰⁷

“ ‘This Dharma of purity through regret is not heard
By attaining the accomplishment of good roots
With just one buddha or with ten buddhas,³⁰⁸
But through generating good roots with a hundred thousand buddhas.’ ”³⁰⁹

Then the Bhagavat, having listened to what was addressed to him, praised the bodhisattva Ruciraketu by saying, “Excellent, excellent! Noble one, those who hear the Dharma teaching of praises of the qualities of the tathāgatas and purification through regret,
