四明尊者教行錄 1.62

1.62

Now, those who wish to receive these Bodhisattva Precepts must first invite a master to guide and open their understanding, so that they give rise to a mind of loving-kindness and compassion toward all circumstances. Were it not for this person, the precepts would have no means to arise. Now, on behalf of the present assembly, we respectfully invite [so-and-so] to serve as the master bestowing the Great Vehicle Bodhisattva Precepts. Each of you must single-mindedly follow me in presenting the request. When coming to the placeholder 'so-and-so', you should state your own name.
