He once composed a text of making vows, saying: "Reflecting upon this world, where the five turbidities confuse the mind, there is neither the power of correct contemplation nor the power of the elucidating cause; the mind-only nature of oneself cannot be comprehended or realized. Reverently following the golden teachings spoken by the mouth of the Bhagavat Śākyamuni, I exclusively contemplate Amitābha, seeking the gathering and reception of that Bhagavat's vow-power, so that when my retribution is complete, I may be reborn in Sukhāvatī—just like riding a boat downstream, arriving without exerting one's own effort." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.79) - [Next: 2.81](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.81) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072~en-mt.2.80) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2072.2.80) · Pramāṇa
