"The worthy person who generates [this] abode makes broad and vast vows, / From this life until [reaching] the Buddha, / All vows enter [herein]. / Within my vows, there are none that will not be fulfilled; / Reaching the attainment of buddhahood for oneself takes one's vows as the root. / As I now practice giving, / I vow that sentient beings / May abandon the thought of greedy desire / And enter the stage of the path of emptiness. / Constantly practicing the dharma-precepts, / I vow that sentient beings / May maintain their practice without breaking it, / And attain right liberation. / Constantly upholding the six forbearances, / I vow that sentient beings / May attain a mind free from dispute / And abide in the forbearance of tranquil dharmas. / With the power of great diligence, / I vow that sentient beings / May constantly practice without abiding, / And enter the fruit of self-enlightenment. / Residing in the mind of meditative concentration, / I vow that sentient beings / May be fully endowed with supernatural powers / And naturally be at peace in the unconditioned. / Cultivating the wisdom of the right Dharma, / I vow that sentient beings / May enter the stream of the ocean of wisdom / And inherit the bodhisattva stage. / Practicing signless vows, / I vow that sentient beings / May have all vows fulfilled, / Flowing into the ocean of buddhas. / With great wisdom and skillful means, / I vow that sentient beings / May have unhindered flow in the river of Dharma, / Reaching the limit of the two truths. / With great power and supernatural faculties, / I vow that sentient beings / May have transformations subject to their own will, / Attaining fearlessness. / With the ultimate wisdom fulfilled, / I vow that sentient beings / May accomplish vajra wisdom / And ascend to the fruit of the bodhimaṇḍa. / Entering the Stainless Ground, / I vow that sentient beings / May sit beneath the Buddha's bodhi tree / And transform all beings. / Now that I am already awakened, / I vow that sentient beings / May understand the nominality of continuity / And extinguish the mind that grasps at annihilation. / Awakening and illuminating the dharma-transformations, / I vow that sentient beings / May realize that dharmas are formed by conditions / And extinguish the mind that grasps at permanence. / As I attain the complete body, / I vow that sentient beings / May realize mutually dependent dharmas / And extinguish the mind that grasps at a self. / With objectless great compassion, / I vow that sentient beings / May understand that conditioned causes arise, / And extinguish the mind of clinging to false views. / With supreme extinction, / I vow that sentient beings / May realize real dharma-conditions / And extinguish the mind of clinging to faulty precepts and asceticism. / Attaining the fruit of the ten powers, / I vow that sentient beings / May realize the illumination of the two truths / And extinguish the mind of wrong views. / With vajra-power, / I vow that sentient beings / May realize the twelve conditionings / And extinguish the mind of doubt and false views. / Solitarily illuminating without boundary, / I vow that sentient beings / May recognize that dharmas are impermanent / And extinguish the mind of greed and stinginess. / With the five eyes and three clear knowledges, / I vow that sentient beings / May cultivate the awakening of the three insights / And extinguish the mind of ignorance and darkness. / With unhindered harmony, / I vow that sentient beings / May inherit understanding of the three jewels / And extinguish the mind of anger and dispute. / Attaining great luminous wisdom, / I vow that sentient beings / May enter universal emptiness / And extinguish the store of avidyā. / With the thirty-two marks, / I vow that sentient beings / May have each mark adorned and fine, / Extinguishing circumstantial retribution. / Attaining the function of the response body, / I vow that sentient beings / May board the great ship of the Dharma / And enter the ocean of the Buddha's Dharma. / My causal and resultant vows / Are all entirely complete; / All vows of practice / Are contained within them. / The twenty-four vows / Contain immeasurable practices; / Faith and vows are the opening door, / And the ultimate root of great wisdom. / Now before all the buddhas, / I receive these great vows; / My vows being now fulfilled, / I advance in cultivating the remaining practices. / The merits thereof / I will practice for a hundred thousand kalpas; / Only then will I relinquish my vows / And enter immeasurable realms. / All bodhisattvas, / If they enter these vows, / There are none who will not enter / The ocean of sarvajñā."
