千手眼大悲心呪行法 1.47

1.47

"Universally on behalf of the four benefactors and the three realms of existence, and the sentient beings of the dharmadhātu, we fully vow to sever the three obstacles, take refuge, and repent." (Having chanted, perform a full prostration with the five limbs touching the ground, and again contemplate in mind: "From beginningless time until now, myself and sentient beings, driven by craving and wrong views, internally grasp at self and others, and externally associate with evil friends; we do not rejoice in others' slightest goodness, but only universally commit manifold sins throughout the three karmas. Though the matters are not vast, the evil mind extends everywhere, continuously day and night without interruption; we conceal and hide our faults, not wishing others to know; we do not fear the evil destinies, are devoid of shame and remorse, and repudiate cause and effect. Therefore on this day, we deeply believe in cause and effect, give rise to profound shame and remorse, produce great fear, confess and repent, sever the mind of continuous [evil], arouse the bodhicitta, sever evil and cultivate good, diligently spur the three karmas to reverse former grave faults, rejoice in the slightest goodness of ordinary persons and sages, and contemplate that the Buddhas of the ten directions possess great merit and wisdom and can rescue myself and all sentient beings, moving us from the ocean of the two kinds of death to the shore of the three virtues. From beginningless time, we did not know that the original nature of all dharmas is empty and quiescent, and extensively committed manifold evils; now knowing that they are empty and quiescent, for the sake of seeking bodhi and for the sake of sentient beings, we extensively cultivate all goods and everywhere sever all evils. We only pray that Avalokiteśvara will compassionately gather us in." Having visualized this, chant:)
