勸發菩提心集 1.50

1.50

發願立誓，菩薩云何發趣菩提，以何業行成就菩提？發心菩薩住乾慧地，先當堅固發於正願，攝受一切無量眾生。我求無上菩提，救護度脫，令無有餘，皆令究竟無餘涅槃。是故初始發心大悲為首，以悲心故，能發轉勝十大正願。何謂為十？一願我先世及以今身所種善根，施與一切，悉共迴向無上菩提，令我此願念念增長，生生不忘，為陀羅尼之所守護。二願我迴向大菩提已，以此善根，於一切生處，常得供養一切諸佛，恒常不生無佛國土。三願我得生諸佛國已，常得親近隨侍左右，如影隨形，無剎那頃遠離諸佛。四願我得近佛已，隨所應為我說法，即得成就菩薩五通。五願得通已，即達世諦假名流布，了第一義，得正法智。六願我得正法智已，以無厭心，為生說法，示教利喜，皆令開解。七願我開解諸眾生已，以佛神力，遍至十方無餘世界，供養諸佛，聽受正法，廣攝眾生。八願於諸佛所聞正法已，即能隨轉清淨輪，十方世界一切眾生，聽我法者，聞我名者，即得捨離一切煩惱發菩提心。九願我能令一切眾生發菩提已，常隨將護，除無利益，與無量樂，捨身命財，攝受眾生，荷負正法。十者願我能荷負正法已，雖行正法，心無所行，如諸菩薩行於正法而無所行亦無不行，為化眾生，不捨正願。

Regarding making vows and undertaking aspirations, how does a bodhisattva set out toward bodhi, and through what karmic practices is bodhi accomplished? A bodhisattva who has aroused the mind, abiding on the stage of dry wisdom, must first firmly generate the right vows, gathering in all immeasurable sentient beings: 'Seeking unsurpassable bodhi, I shall rescue, protect, and deliver them without remainder, causing all to ultimately reach nirvāṇa without remainder.' Therefore, in initially arousing the mind, great compassion comes first; because of the compassionate mind, one can bring forth the increasingly supreme ten great right vows. What are the ten? First, I vow that the roots of goodness planted by me in previous lifetimes and in this present body be given to all, and that all together dedicate them toward unsurpassable bodhi, causing this vow of mine to increase from moment to moment, not to be forgotten life after life, and to be guarded by dhāraṇī. Second, I vow that having dedicated [them] toward great bodhi, by means of these roots of goodness, in all places of rebirth, I may always make offerings to all buddhas and never be born in a land without a buddha. Third, I vow that having gained rebirth in the buddha-lands, I may always draw near to them and attend at their side like a shadow following a form, not leaving the buddhas for even an instant. Fourth, I vow that having drawn near to the buddhas, as is suitable they expound the Dharma for me, and that I immediately attain and accomplish the bodhisattva's five supernatural knowledges. Fifth, I vow that having attained supernatural knowledges, I may immediately comprehend worldly convention and nominal designations, realize the ultimate truth, and obtain the wisdom of the true Dharma. Sixth, I vow that having obtained the wisdom of the true Dharma, with an untiring mind, I may expound the Dharma for sentient beings, instructing, guiding, benefiting, and gladdening them, causing all to attain understanding. Seventh, I vow that having brought all sentient beings to understanding, through the Buddha's spiritual power, I may travel everywhere to all worlds of the ten directions without remainder, make offerings to the buddhas, listen to and receive the true Dharma, and extensively gather in sentient beings. Eighth, I vow that having heard the true Dharma from the buddhas, I may immediately turn the pure wheel [of the Dharma] accordingly, so that all sentient beings in the worlds of the ten directions who hear my teaching or hear my name may immediately cast off all afflictions and arouse bodhicitta. Ninth, I vow that having caused all sentient beings to arouse bodhi, I may constantly accompany and protect them, eliminate what is unbeneficial, bestow immeasurable joy, give up body, life, and wealth, gather in sentient beings, and shoulder the true Dharma. Tenth, I vow that having become able to shoulder the true Dharma, though practicing the true Dharma, my mind engages in no practice, just as all bodhisattvas practice the true Dharma while having no practice and yet leaving no practice undone, not abandoning the right vows in order to transform sentient beings.
