慈悲道場懺法 8.5

8.5

We pray that, with the power of compassion and loving-kindness, you will together protect them. May the asura kings, all asuras, and each of their retinues; and also the spirit kings and spirit generals of the eight classes and each of their retinues—who are intelligent, upright, of heaven, earth, and empty space, who oversee good and punish evil, and who protect and uphold dhāraṇīs—be liberated from adventitious defilements, have their circumstantial obstacles purified, give rise to the Mahāyāna, cultivate the unimpeded path, constantly have the four immeasurable minds and six pāramitās manifest before them, attain sovereignty as wished in the four eloquences and six supernormal powers, constantly save and protect sentient beings with compassion and loving-kindness, practice the bodhisattva path, enter the Buddha's wisdom, cross beyond with the vajra-like mind, and achieve complete, perfect enlightenment.
