2.19

We also take refuge in all the Three Jewels throughout the ten directions and the entirety of empty space. We pray that relying on the power of the great compassion of all Buddhas, great bodhisattvas, and all worthies and noble ones, whatever vows are made by [so-and-so] and the others and wherever we are born may be at our ease according to our wishes. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others also vow that life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, if any sentient being sees the color of our body, they will immediately attain liberation; if we enter the hells, all hells will turn into pure lands, and all conditions of suffering will turn into instruments of joy, causing all sentient beings to have their six faculties purified, their bodies and minds peaceful and joyful like the third dhyāna, and cutting off all webs of doubt to produce the first taintless knowledge. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others vow that life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, if any sentient being hears our voice, their mind will immediately be at ease, their sinful defilements will be eliminated, they will attain the samādhis of dhāraṇī and liberation, be endowed with great patience and uninterrupted eloquence, and together ascend the Cloud of Dharma to realize samyaksambodhi. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others vow that life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, whenever all sentient beings hear our name, they will all rejoice and attain what they have never had before; if they reach the three wretched paths, their manifold sufferings will be severed; if they are among humans or devas, all their outflows will be exhausted; wherever they go, they will be at ease, with none who are not liberated. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others vow that life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, toward all sentient beings we will have no thought of giving or taking, no notion of enemy or kin; we will sever the roots of the three poisons, be free of self and what belongs to self, have faith and joy in the great Dharma, practice compassion and loving-kindness equally, and be in complete harmony like the noble saṅgha. From this day forth, may [so-and-so] and the others vow that life after life, age after age, wherever we may be, toward all sentient beings our minds will always be impartial like empty space, unmoved by praise or blame, viewing enemy and kin as of one characteristic, entering the deep and vast mind to train in the wisdom of the Buddhas, regarding sentient beings equally like Rāhula, fulfilling the karma of the ten abodes to attain the stage of the single child, and leaving behind existence and non-existence to constantly practice the Middle Way. 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.
