6.11

May it be that, through the power of the Buddha, the power of the Dharma, the power of the bodhisattvas, and the power of the worthies and sages, all sentient beings in the four modes of birth and the six destinies will once again be awakened and come together to this bodhimaṇḍa. If there are those whose physical forms are hindered and whose minds are constrained so that they cannot arrive, we pray that by the power of the Buddha, the power of the Dharma, and the power of the worthies and sages, their spirits will be gathered so that all arrive together to receive the repentance of [so-and-so] and the others for their offenses of oral karma. From the ground of beginningless ignorance up to the present day, through the causes and conditions of bad oral karma, enmity and resentment have been stirred up throughout the six destinies. May the divine power of the Three Jewels cause all adversaries across the three times within the four modes of birth and the six destinies to have that which is repented of cut off, and that which is regretted eternally extinguished. From beginningless time up to the present day, [so-and-so] and the others, whether through anger, greed and attachment, or ignorance, have produced the ten unwholesome actions from the roots of the three poisons, giving rise to immeasurable transgressions through the four unwholesome actions of speech. We have distressed our parents and all our kin with harsh speech; or committed the karmic deed of lying against our parents, against relatives and kin, against our teachers, or against sentient beings; or, seeing, said we did not see; not seeing, said we saw; hearing, said we did not hear; not hearing, said we heard; knowing, said we did not know; not knowing, said we knew; or committed the karmic deed of lying out of pride or jealousy. Such transgressions and evils are immeasurable and boundless; today we repent of them and pray that they be eliminated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time up to the present day, we have engaged in the karma of divisive speech: hearing malicious words from another, we could not conceal them, but spoke of that one to this one, and spoke of this one to that one, causing people to be estranged and subjecting others to suffering. Or, through jesting and mockery, we caused contention between two families, brought discord between ruler and minister with slander, agitated and perturbed everyone, separated blood relatives, and broke up others' households. Such transgressions are immeasurable and boundless; today we repent of them and pray that they be eliminated and extinguished. Furthermore, from beginningless time up to the present day, we have committed the transgression of frivolous speech, uttering meaningless words and unprofitable words, thereby distressing our parents, our teachers, our fellow students, and even harming all sentient beings throughout the six destinies. The enmities and resentments arising from such oral karma are immeasurable and boundless; today we repent of them and pray that they be eliminated and extinguished. May the power of the Buddha, the power of the Dharma, the power of all the bodhisattvas, and the power of all the worthies and sages accept the repentance made today by [so-and-so] and the others, so that all the enmities and grievances of all adversaries across the three times within the four modes of birth and the six destinies will be completely liberated, all sinful karma will be severed and eliminated, and they will never again give rise to enmities to re-enter the three wretched paths, nor ever again inflict severe suffering upon one another in the six destinies. From this day forward, let them practice total giving without thoughts of foe or friend; let them be harmonious like milk and water; let them be filled with joy as on the first ground; and let them forever be Dharma kin, a family of compassion and loving-kindness. From now on until reaching bodhi, may they never again experience the retributions of the three realms; let them sever the karma of the three obstacles, be free of the five fears, deeply cultivate the four immeasurable minds and the six pāramitās, practice the Mahāyāna path, enter the wisdom of the Buddha, fulfill all oceans of vows, clearly comprehend the six supernormal powers and three clarities, attain the Buddha's three mysteries, be endowed with the five-part body, ascend to vajra-like wisdom, and accomplish the fruit of sarvākārajñatā.
