慈悲道場懺法 6.18

6.18

Today, members of the assembly sharing this karmic endeavor in the bodhimaṇḍa! May all sentient beings of the past and present throughout the four modes of birth and six destinies, to the exhaustion of the boundaries of the future, through this repentance rite jointly attain purity and jointly attain liberation, being endowed with wisdom and sovereign supernatural power. We pray that all sentient beings, from this day forward until bodhi, will constantly see the Dharmakāyas of all Buddhas throughout the ten directions to the exhaustion of space; constantly see the thirty-two marks of the Buddhas' purple-golden bodies; constantly see the eighty minor marks of the Buddhas whose divided and emanated forms fill the ten directions to rescue sentient beings; and constantly see the great light of the white curl between the Buddhas' eyebrows shining universally to relieve the suffering of hells. Furthermore, we pray that the assembly sharing this karmic endeavor in the bodhimaṇḍa today, through the conditions of the pure merit of this repentance, will, from this day forward as we cast off and take up bodies, not undergo the suffering of boiling cauldrons, fiery coals, slicing, and roasting in the hellish destinies; not undergo the suffering of molten copper poured into the mouth, scorching and rotting, in the hungry ghost destinies; not undergo the suffering of flaying, tearing, and bitter torment in the animal destinies; and, if in the human destiny, not undergo the suffering of the four hundred and four ailments afflicting the body, the unbearable suffering of intense heat and severe cold, the harm of swords, cudgels, and poison, or the suffering of hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. Furthermore, we pray that the great assembly, from this day forward, uphold the precepts purely without a defiled mind, constantly cultivate benevolence and righteousness, be mindful of repaying kindness, make offerings to parents as though seeing the Bhagavat, revere and respect teachers as though facing the Buddhas, honor kings as the true Dharmakāya, and regard all others as ourselves. Furthermore, we pray that the great assembly, from this day forward until bodhi, fathom the profound meaning of the Dharma with fearless wisdom, clearly comprehend the Mahāyāna, clearly perceive the true Dharma, attain awakening on our own without relying on another's enlightenment, single-mindedly and resolutely seek the Buddha path, and in turn deliver limitless sentient beings, equally and together with the Tathāgatas attaining samyaksambodhi.
