慈悲道場懺法 9.44

9.44

We, [so-and-so], through the merits and causal conditions of paying homage to the Buddhas on behalf of the devas, ṛṣis, and the eight classes of nāgas and spirits today, vow that all sentient beings of the four modes of birth and six destinies throughout the exhaustion of empty space in the ten directions, to the very end of future time, from this day forth until bodhi, will never again suffer injustice and error in bodily form, experiencing severe pain and torment, nor will they commit the ten evil acts and five heinous sins to fall once more into the three wretched paths. Relying on the merits and causal conditions of paying homage to the Buddhas today, may each obtain the purified bodily and verbal karmas of bodhisattva-mahāsattvas, and may each obtain all the minds of bodhisattva-mahāsattvas: an earth-like mind to generate wholesome roots; an ocean-like mind to uphold the vast Dharma of the Buddhas' wisdom; a Mount Sumeru-like mind to settle all beings stably in unexcelled bodhi; a maṇi-jewel-like mind to remain far removed from afflictions; a vajra-like mind to resolve all dharmas definitively; a resolute mind that demons and non-Buddhists cannot undermine; a lotus-flower-like mind untainted by any worldly dharma; a pure sun-like mind to dispel all hindrances of ignorance and blindness; and an empty space-like mind that no sentient being can measure. We further vow that all sentient beings of the four modes of birth and six destinies, from this day forth, will contemplate the nature of consciousness and contemplate decisive faith and understanding; that they abandon levity and constantly contemplate the words of the Dharma; that they give away all they possess without attachment; that their minds be ever brave without harbor of faint-heartedness; that all merits cultivated be dedicated to all beings; that they never return to wrong paths, concentrating single-mindedly in one direction; that they see good as an illusion and see evil as a dream; that they abandon birth and death and swiftly transcend the triple world; that they clearly observe the profound and subtle Dharma; and that each may make offerings to all Buddhas, with all implements for offering being fully provided; each may make offerings to all honored Dharmas, with all implements for offering being fully provided; each may make offerings to all bodhisattvas, with all implements for offering being fully provided; and each may make offerings to all worthy ones and sages, with all implements for offering being fully provided. If there are any future streams of sentient beings who differ from the scope of our vows made today, may they all be caused to enter the great ocean of vows, immediately achieve merit and wisdom, and by the Buddha's supernatural power attain sovereignty in accordance with their minds, equally with the Tathāgata achieving samyaksambodhi together.
