"Good sons and good daughters, listen attentively! You now seek to receive all the bodhisattva śikṣāpadas and seek to receive all the pure precepts of a bodhisattva at my place, namely the precepts of restraint, the precepts of collecting wholesome dharmas, and the precepts of benefiting sentient beings. All these śikṣāpadas and all these pure precepts have been practiced by all bodhisattvas of the past, will be practiced by all bodhisattvas of the future, and are being practiced by all bodhisattvas of the present. From this time until the end of the future, you must not violate them. Are you able to maintain them?" Instruct them to answer: "Able." (Spoken three times).
