竊以。三世諸佛以誓願因緣。十方如來以智慧方便。縱無礙之辯。開無盡之門。法流派別宗源無限。法本分散枝條不極。非直摩訶般若獨有八萬四千。至於陀羅尼門亦有九十二億。處處宣說種種名稱。功德無量威神不測。至如婆藪之拔地獄。波旬之發菩提。花聚之獲神通。雷音之脫掩蔽。莫不因斯章句承茲業力。亦有四部弟子十方眾生。聞一句而發心。聽一說而悟道。故知一切諸法無非真妙。弟子側身修行。所學者菩提。旰食夙興。所行者濟度。一心之力攝取眾生。一念之頃遍諸法相。如來種智皆願總持。諸佛功德悉欲流布。今謹於法典本之經教。見前大眾至心敬禮釋迦牟尼佛。禮陀羅尼章句。禮雷音比丘。禮華聚菩薩。願承此功德調伏眾生。滅三毒心破十惡業。四百之煩惱自然清淨。八萬四千塵勞一時解脫。得神呪之力。具法印之善。入陀羅尼門。觀諸佛境界。獄火永盡無餘。稽首敬禮常住三寶。

I venture to consider that the Buddhas of the three periods of time, by the conditions of their vows, and the Tathāgatas of the ten directions, through their wisdom and skillful means, unleash unhindered eloquence and open inexhaustible gates. The currents of the Dharma branch out, their ancestral sources boundless; the trunk of the Dharma divides and scatters, its foliage and branches limitless. It is not merely that the Mahāprajñā alone possesses eighty-four thousand [teachings]; as for the portals of dhāraṇī, there are also ninety-two hundred million. Everywhere they are proclaimed under various names; their merits are immeasurable and their majestic spiritual power unfathomable. Take, for instance, Vasu being plucked from the hells, Māra conceiving the aspiration for bodhi, Huaju obtaining supernatural powers, and Leiyin escaping concealment—none failed to rely on these verses and sentences and depend on this karmic power. There are also fourfold disciples and sentient beings of the ten directions who, upon hearing a single line, arouse the mind [for enlightenment], or upon listening to a single exposition, awaken to the Path. Thus we know that among all dharmas, there is none that is not true and wondrous.

I, your disciple, humbly cultivate practice. What I study is bodhi; dining late and rising early, what I practice is deliverance. With the power of a single mind I embrace sentient beings; in the span of a single thought I encompass the marks of all dharmas. The all-inclusive wisdom of the Tathāgata I vow entirely to retain; the merits of all Buddhas I wish completely to disseminate. Now, reverently basing myself on the scriptures and teachings of the Dharma canons, together with the great assembly here present, I pay homage with utmost devotion to Śākyamuni Buddha; I pay homage to the verses and sentences of the dhāraṇī; I pay homage to the monk Leiyin; I pay homage to the Bodhisattva Huaju. I vow to rely on this merit to tame sentient beings, eradicate the mind of the three poisons, and shatter the ten unwholesome karmas, so that the four hundred afflictions may naturally be purified, and the eighty-four thousand defiling toils may all at once be liberated. May we obtain the power of divine dhāraṇīs, be endowed with the excellence of the Dharma seal, enter the portals of dhāraṇī, contemplate the realms of the Buddhas, and have the fires of the hells forever extinguished without remainder. Bowing my head, I pay reverent homage to the eternally abiding triratna.
