10.9

We also wish that today the members of the assembly sharing this karmic endeavor in the bodhimaṇḍa will each make vows as follows: In examining whence all evils arise, they all depend on the six sense faculties; thus the six sense faculties are the root of all disasters. Though they are the root of disasters, they can also bring about immeasurable meritorious karma. Therefore the Śrīmālā-sūtra says: 'Guard the six sense faculties and purify body, speech, and mind.' Taking this meaning as proof of the root that gives rise to goodness, we make great vows regarding the six sense faculties.
