四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 3.332

3.332

The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa states: "Three times by day and three times by night, a bodhisattva constantly practices three things: First, in the early morning, baring the right shoulder and joining the palms, one pays homage to the Buddhas of the ten directions, saying: 'May all the offenses of the three time periods and the three types of actions committed by me, so-and-so, be eradicated, and may I never commit them again!' Second, one rejoices in and encourages the merits of the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three time periods. Third, one entreats the Buddhas of the ten directions to initially turn the wheel of the Dharma and to abide long in the world. By practicing these three practices, the merit is immeasurable."
