南無佛。南無法。南無比丘僧。某若干日若干夜持菩薩齋。從分檀布施當得六波羅蜜。如諸菩薩六萬菩薩法。齋日夜一分禪一分讀經一分臥。是為菩薩齋日法。

'Namo Buddhāya, Namo Dharmāya, Namo Saṅghāya. I, so-and-so, for such-and-such days and nights have upheld the bodhisattva fast. From sharing in charity and dāna, I shall attain the six pāramitās, in accordance with the Dharma of all the bodhisattvas and the sixty thousand bodhisattvas. On the fast day, one part of the night is for meditation, one part for chanting scriptures, and one part for sleeping. This is the method for the bodhisattva fast day.'
