Tenth, I vow that although I practice the True Dharma, my mind will neither practice anything nor not practice anything; and that for the sake of transforming sentient beings, I will never abandon my true vows. May I, by means of these ten great vows, pervade the realms of sentient beings and embrace all vows as numerous as the sands of the Ganges. If the realm of sentient beings were ever exhausted, only then would my vows be exhausted; yet because the realm of sentient beings can never be exhausted, these great vows of mine likewise can never be exhausted. All roots of good cultivated across the boundless Dharma realm for widely delivering sentient beings are wholly dedicated toward unsurpassed complete enlightenment, so that I may be born before Maitreya Buddha, hear the pure Dharma, and realize the tolerance of non-arising. May all the roots of good cultivated in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down throughout my entire life, together with all sentient beings of the Dharma realm, be dedicated toward being born before Maitreya Buddha and swiftly attaining non-retrogression.
