勸發菩提心集 2.30

2.30

將欲受戒，應先發誓願。〈菩薩受戒品〉云：爾時文殊師利白佛言：「世尊！若善男子、善女人，受菩薩所受戒法，當云何？」佛告文殊師利：「應於佛前至誠禮拜，作如是言：『我某甲，願諸佛憶念我，如諸佛、世尊、正遍知以佛智慧無所著，我當發菩提心，為利益一切眾生令得安樂；發無上道心，如過去未來現在諸佛菩薩；發無上菩提心，於一切眾生，如父母、兄弟、妹姊、男子、女人、親友等，為彼解脫得出生死，乃至令發三菩提心，勤起精進，隨諸眾生所須財法一切施與，以此財法攝受一切眾生，漸漸隨宜。為解脫眾生出生死故，乃至令安住無上菩提。我當起精進，我當不放逸。』如是再三，是名菩薩摩訶薩初發菩提心。」

When about to receive the precepts, one should first make vows. The "Chapter on the Bodhisattva's Receiving Precepts" states: At that time, Mañjuśrī addressed the Buddha, saying, "World-Honoured One, if a good son or good daughter receives the rules of the precepts received by bodhisattvas, what should they do?" The Buddha told Mañjuśrī, "Before the Buddha, with utmost sincerity, they should bow down and speak thus: 'I, so-and-so, pray that all Buddhas be mindful of me. Just as all Buddhas, World-Honoured Ones, correctly and fully enlightened ones, through the Buddha-wisdom, have no attachments, I shall arouse bodhicitta to benefit all sentient beings and cause them to attain peace and happiness. I arouse the mind set on the unsurpassed path, just as all Buddhas and bodhisattvas of the past, future, and present [have done]. I arouse the unsurpassed mind of bodhi toward all sentient beings, regarding them as my fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, men, women, kin, and friends, so that they may attain liberation and escape from saṃsāra, and even cause them to arouse the mind of sambodhi. I will diligently stir up vīrya, and bestow upon all sentient beings all material goods and Dharma according to their needs; through this wealth and Dharma, I will gather in all sentient beings, gradually adapting to what is appropriate. For the sake of liberating sentient beings and causing them to escape saṃsāra, even to causing them to abide securely in unsurpassed bodhi, I shall arouse vīrya; I shall not be heedless.' Thus, repeating this two and three times, this is called the initial arousal of bodhicitta by a bodhisattva-mahāsattva."
