無益之身　惡煩人功　解形窮石
散體崖松　天人修羅　山神樹神
有求道者　觀我捨身　願令眾生
見我骸骨　煩惱大船　皆為覆沒
願令眾生　聞我捨命　天耳成就
菩提究竟　願令眾生　憶念我時
具足念力　多聞總持　此報一罷
四大彫零　泉林逕絕　巖室無聲
普施禽獸　乃至昆蟲　食肉飲血
善根內充　願我未來　速成善逝
身心自在　要相拔濟　此身不淨
底下屎囊　九孔常流　如漏隄塘
此身可惡　不可瞻觀　薄皮裹血
垢污塗漫　此身臭穢　猶如死狗
六六合成　不從華有　觀此臭身
無常所囚　進退無免　會遭蟻螻
此身難保　有命必輸　狐狼所噉
終成蟲𦚭　天人男女　好醜貴賤
死火所燒　暫見如電　死法侵人
怨中之怨　吾以為讎　誓斷根源
此身無樂　毒蛇之篋　四大圍繞
百病交涉　有名苦聚　老病死數
身心熱惱　多諸過咎　此身無我
以不自在　無實橫計　凡夫所宰
久遠迷惑　妄倒所使　喪失善根
畜生同死　棄捨百千　血乳成海
骨積大山　當來兼倍　未曾為利
虛受勤苦　眾生無益　於法無補
忍痛捨施　功用無邊　誓不退轉
出離四纏　捨此穢形　願生淨土
一念華開　彌陀佛所　速見十方
諸佛賢聖　長辭三塗　正道決定
報得五通　自在飛行　寶樹餐法
證大無生　法身自在　不斷三有
殄除魔道　護法為首　十地滿足
神化無方　德備四勝　號稱法王
願捨此身　早令自在　法身自在
在諸趣中　隨有利處　護法救生
復業應盡　有為皆然　三界無常
來不自在　他殺及死　終歸如是
智者不樂　應當是思　眾緣既湊
業盡今日

"This useless body, / Disliking to trouble the labor of others, / Casts off its form upon the bare rocks, / Scatters its limbs among cliff-side pines. / Devas, humans, and asuras, / Mountain spirits and tree spirits, / If there be any who seek the Way, / Behold my giving up of this body! / I vow that sentient beings, / Seeing my skeleton, / Shall have the great ship of their defilements / Utterly overturned and submerged. / I vow that sentient beings, / Hearing of my surrender of life, / Shall attain the divine ear, / And ultimately realize bodhi. / I vow that sentient beings, / When they bring me to mind, / Shall be endowed with the power of mindfulness, / And attain broad learning and dhāraṇī. / Once this retribution [body] ceases, / The four elements wither and scatter; / The springs and forests end their paths, / The rock chambers fall silent. / Universally given to birds and beasts, / Down even to the insects: / Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood / Shall be filled with roots of goodness within. / I vow that in the future / I shall swiftly become a Sugata, / Free in body and mind, / Bound to rescue them all. / This body is impure, / An utter sack of dung; / The nine apertures constantly flow, / Like a breached embankment. / This body is loathsome, / Unfit to be looked upon; / Wrapped in thin skin with blood, / Smeared and covered with filth. / This body is foul and putrid, / Just like a dead dog; / Formed of the six-and-six, / Not born from flowers. / Contemplate this foul body, / Imprisoned by impermanence; / No escape, forward or back, / Sure to meet with ants and worms. / This body is hard to protect; / Where there is life, it must be lost, / Devoured by foxes and wolves, / In the end turning to maggots and flies. / Devas, humans, men and women, / Fair and ugly, noble and base, / Burned by the fire of death, / Seen for a moment like lightning. / The law of death preys on humanity, / The bitterest enemy among enemies; / Considering it my foe, / I vow to sever its roots and source. / In this body there is no joy: / A casket of poisonous snakes, / Hemmed round by the four elements, / Afflicted with a hundred diseases. / Given the name 'heap of suffering', / Numbering old age, sickness, and death; / Body and mind fevered and tormented, / Plagued by manifold faults. / In this body there is no self; / Being devoid of autonomy, / Groundlessly imagined without reality, / Governed by foolish worldlings. / Deluded for ages long, / Driven by topsy-turvy falsehood, / Losing roots of goodness, / Dying the same as beasts. / Cast away hundreds of thousands of times, / Blood and milk have formed an ocean; / Bones have piled into great mountains, / And in the future will double again. / Never yet having served any good, / Fruitlessly bearing toils and pain, / Useless to sentient beings, / Of no aid to the Dharma. / Patiently enduring pain to give it away, / Its efficacy is boundless; / I vow never to fall back, / And to transcend the four entanglements. / Relinquishing this defiled form, / I vow to be born in the Pure Land; / In a single thought the flower will open / In the realm of the Buddha Amitâbha. / Swiftly beholding the worthy and sage, / The Buddhas of the ten directions, / Long parting from the three evil destinies, / Settled upon the correct path, / Obtaining the five superknowledges as reward, / Flying freely at will, / Feasting on the Dharma beneath jeweled trees, / Realizing the great non-arising. / The Dharma-body having gained autonomy, / Never severing the three existences, / Wiping out the ways of Māra, / Taking the protection of the Dharma as foremost, / Fulfilling the ten grounds, / Divine transformations without limit, / Virtues endowed with the four excellences, / Bearing the title of Dharma King. / I vow to cast off this body / And swiftly attain autonomy; / With the Dharma-body attaining autonomy, / Present in all realms of rebirth, / Wherever there is benefit, / Protecting the Dharma and saving living beings. / Once again, karmic effects must come to an end; / Conditioned things are all like this. / The three realms are impermanent; / Coming is not by one's own will. / Slain by others or dying [of old age], / All ultimately return to this. / The wise take no pleasure in it / And should reflect upon this: / As all conditions have now converged, / My karma ends this very day."
