慈悲道場懺法 2.22

2.22

We pray that for [so-and-so] and the others together with the four modes of birth and the six destinies, through the causes and conditions of the merit of this repentance and making vows, from this day forth until bodhi, we may practice the bodhisattva path without weariness; that the two kinds of giving—material wealth and Dharma—may be inexhaustible; that our deeds of wisdom and skillful means may not be in vain; that adapting to their capacities and responding to their afflictions, we may bestow upon them the medicine of the Dharma; and that all who see or hear us may together attain liberation. [So-and-so] and the others also vow that from this day forth until bodhi, as we practice the bodhisattva path, there will be no obstacles or difficulties; that wherever we arrive, we can constantly perform great Buddha works and establish bodhimaṇḍas; that we may attain mastery of mind and mastery of phenomena; that there will be no samādhi we cannot enter; that we may open the gate of dhāraṇī and reveal the fruit of Buddhahood; that abiding on the stage of the Cloud of Dharma, we may pour down the rain of amṛta, eliminate the four kinds of māra-adversaries of sentient beings, and cause them to attain the wonderful fruit of the pure dharmakāya. May all the vows made today by [so-and-so] and the others be completely like the vows made by all the great bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and may all our vows be completely like all the great vows originally made by all the Buddhas of the ten directions, vast as the dharmatā and ultimate as empty space. May [so-and-so] and the others attain what has been vowed, fulfilling the vow of bodhi, and may all sentient beings entirely follow along and attain what has been vowed. We look up and pray that all the Buddhas, all the venerable Dharmas, all the bodhisattvas, and all the worthies and noble ones of the ten directions, through the power of their compassion and loving-kindness, will presently bear witness for us. We also pray that all lords of devas, all lords of ṛṣis, all good spirits, and all nāga-spirits, through the power of the wholesome roots of compassion that protects the Three Jewels, will presently bear witness and know, causing all our practices and vows to be at our ease according to our wishes.
