慈悲道場懺法 9.63

9.63

All the devas and ṛṣis of the ten directions—
Whatever karmic merit they possess,
I now dedicate it for them,
That they may together return to the path of samyaksambodhi.
All the nāgas, ghosts, and spirits of the ten directions—
Whatever superior wholesome karma they possess,
I now dedicate it for them,
That they may together return to the path of the One Vehicle.
All the human monarchs of the ten directions—
Whatever bodhi-karma they have cultivated,
I now dedicate it for them,
That they may together return to the unexcelled path.
All species of sentient beings in the six destinies—
Whatever slight wholesome karma they possess,
I now dedicate it for them,
That they may together return to the unexcelled path.
All disciples of the Buddha in the ten directions,
The assembly of ehi-bhikṣus,
The four kinds of śramaṇas free from attachment,
And those seeking to be pratyekabuddhas,
Who transform sentient beings whether hidden or manifest,
And clearly understand the dharma of causes and conditions—
These, together with all others,
I dedicate entirely to the Buddha path.
All the bodhisattvas in the ten directions,
Who read, recite, accept, and uphold the sūtras,
And who enter and emerge from dhyāna,
I exhort them all to practice the multitude of good deeds.
All such roots of virtue
Belonging to the three vehicles,
I dedicate and bestow entirely upon sentient beings,
That they may together return to the unexcelled path.
All wholesome karma of the noble path
In the heavens and among humans,
I now urge to be dedicated,
That all may together return to the unexcelled path.
Generating the [bodhi]citta and repenting,
Whether practiced by oneself or encouraging others,
Whatever subtle hair's-breadth of merit there may be,
I dedicate and bestow entirely upon sentient beings.
If sentient beings do not attain buddhahood,
I will not abandon the bodhi vow;
Only when all have completely attained buddhahood
Will I then ascend to samyaksambodhi.
I respectfully pray that the buddhas, bodhisattvas,
And all the undefiled noble ones
Will in this life and future rebirths
Graciously look down upon and embrace us.
