右伏以彌陀依眾生心而發現、眾生依彌陀智願而出纏，應外無機，即眾生心中之諸佛；機外無應，乃諸佛心中之眾生。生佛一如，感應同致，百非皆遣、四運俱推。如是則念念不生疑、聲聲皆解脫。欣逢妙事，願結勝因，裒聚資糧、廣邀緇素，大眾之道心俱發、十年之勝集偶圓，內外欣歡，恭伸慶懺。伏惟彌陀慈父、釋迦導師，一折一攝而共熟機緣、無黨無偏而同成勝業。所冀遠近情盡、淨穢見忘，不待彌勒之下生，速證寂光之上品。鐵鉤鉤象，盡陪蓮社之游；蠟印印泥，即預華池之上。投身殞命，刻骨銘肌。上扣洪慈，仰惟昭鑒。謹疏。

I prostrate myself and respectfully consider that Amitābha manifests in accordance with sentient beings' minds, while sentient beings escape from entanglements by relying on Amitābha's wisdom and vows. Outside of response, there is no receptive capacity: this is simply all Buddhas within the minds of sentient beings. Outside of receptive capacity, there is no response: this is simply sentient beings within the minds of all Buddhas. Sentient beings and Buddhas are of one suchness; stimulus and response reach the same goal. The hundred negations are all dispelled; the four mental states are completely eliminated. When it is thus, in thought after thought no doubt arises, and in sound after sound all is vimokṣa. Joyfully meeting with this wondrous matter and aspiring to form excellent causes, we have amassed provisions and broadly invited monastic and lay people. The bodhi-minds of the multitude have all arisen, and this excellent gathering of ten years has fortunately come to fruition; within and without there is joy and rejoicing, respectfully offering celebration and repentance. We prostrate ourselves and consider that Amitābha, the compassionate father, and Śākya, the guiding teacher, jointly mature our capacities and conditions through repelling and gathering, and together accomplish excellent karma without partiality or bias. We hope that sentiments regarding distance and proximity will be extinguished, that views of purity and defilement will be forgotten, and that, without waiting for the descent of Maitreya, we may swiftly realize the supreme grade of Quiescent Light. Like an iron hook hooking an elephant, may we all accompany the roaming of the Lotus Society; like a wax seal impressing mud, may we directly participate above the jeweled ponds. We devote our bodies and forfeit our lives, carving this into our bones and inscribing it on our flesh. We reach upward to beseech vast compassion, looking up with reverence for luminous reflection. Respectfully presented.
