第二十二願使某作佛時。令我國中諸菩薩阿羅漢。皆智慧勇猛。自知前世億萬劫時。宿命所作善惡却知無極皆洞視徹。知十方去來現在之事。得是願乃作佛。不得是願終不作佛。

"Twenty-second vow: May it be that when I become a Buddha, the bodhisattvas and arhats in my land shall all possess brave and fierce wisdom, knowing by themselves the good and evil performed in their past lives over hundreds of billions of kalpas, retroactively knowing without limit, completely penetrating with vision and hearing, and knowing the affairs of past, present, and future in the ten directions. If I obtain this vow, only then will I become a Buddha; if I do not obtain this vow, I will never become a Buddha.
