觀彌勒上生兜率天經贊 2.197

2.197

The commentary says: Within the exhortation to be born there, the second major section below is the assembly making the aspiration. There are two parts: first, the assembly making the aspiration; second, the Buddha prophesying their rebirth. Within the vow there are two parts: first, clarifying the deportment; second, clarifying the making of the vow. This is the first. Arising from their seats represents being born there, rising up from birth and death. Bowing at the two sets of feet is because of abandoning afflictions. Circumambulating the Buddha and the Bodhisattva a hundred thousand times shows that across a hundred thousand lives they will never be parted from them.
