2.17
We pray that with your inconceivable power you will jointly grant us your protection, enabling all the vows of [so-and-so] and the others to be fully accomplished, never to be forgotten in whatever places we may be born, ultimately attaining unexcelled bodhi and realizing samyaksambodhi. (One prostration.) Let each person reflect in mind and speak with mouth: 'From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly be able to remember and generate the bodhicitta, making the bodhicitta continue without interruption. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly encounter immeasurable and boundless all Buddhas, constantly be able to make offerings to them, and have all articles of offering fully provided. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly protect and uphold all sūtras of the Mahāyāna Vaipulya, and have all articles of offering fully provided. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly encounter all immeasurable and boundless bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and have all articles of offering fully provided. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly encounter all immeasurable and boundless worthies and noble ones of the ten directions, and have all articles of offering fully provided. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly repay the compassionate kindness that shelters and protects us, with all our provisions fulfilling their wishes. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly encounter upādhyāyas and ācāryas, with whatever offerings they should receive being fulfilled as we wish. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly encounter mighty kings, together revitalizing the Three Jewels so that they never perish. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, constantly adorn the Buddha-realms, so that the names of the three poisons and the eight difficulties do not exist. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others, life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, attain the four unhindered knowledges and possess the six supernatural powers, having them perpetually manifest before us and never forgotten, thereby teaching and transforming all sentient beings.' Let us together, with utmost sincerity and equal poignancy, prostrate with the five limbs touching the ground, and take refuge in the Great Compassionate Father of the World.
