法華三昧懺儀 1.50

1.50

"May all the devas, nāgas, the eight classes, and the rest, all give rise to pity, receive my invocation and invitation, and come to the bodhimaṇḍa. May all these holy assemblies bear witness: today, on behalf of all sentient beings of the six destinies in the ten directions, I wish to cultivate the unexcelled bodhi of the Mahāyāna and destroy all heavy sins that obstruct the path. I vow to attain the universal manifestation of physical form of the Lotus Samādhi, in a single thought-moment to make offerings to all the Three Jewels of the ten directions, and in a single thought-moment to universally deliver all sentient beings of the six destinies throughout the ten directions, causing them to enter the equal great wisdom of the One Vehicle. For this reason, for three periods of seven days with single-minded energetic application, I cultivate according to what the sūtra teaches. I pray that, by the power of the original vows of all Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and the Great Master Samantabhadra, they will accept my repentance, causing my practice to decisively destroy all sinful obstacles, and the Dharma doors to appear before me as described in the sūtra." (The practitioner should express the purpose for inviting the Buddhas using their own wisdom.)
