28.22
"May we disciples, relying on the merits produced by this confession, vow that life after life, age after age, our bodily marks may be fully complete, just like Rāhula; that we may constantly meet the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha, and ever hear the wondrous Dharma; that our lifespans may equal heaven and earth, not entangled by the hundred diseases; that the six relations and kin may constantly protect one another; that hostile bandits and weapons may be forever parted from us; that clothing and trunks may naturally be ever full, and fragrant rice of a hundred flavors ever fill our bowls; that prisons and places of confinement may be transformed into heavenly halls; that verbal disputes and mutual criticism may turn into harmony; that lingering diseases of successive years may depart body and mind forever; that pestilences, poisons, and all calamities may ever leave our thoughts; and that monsters, sprites, ominous birds, tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, and all misfortunes of water and land may depart without remainder; and whether cutting and punishing oneself or getting angry or delighted by oneself—may all such sins, from now until we attain Buddhahood, be parted from us forever. May we disciples not receive retributions in the evil destinies; but rather, giving rise only to great compassion, rescue and protect all sentient beings, enabling them to fulfill their natures, broadly transform all species, and together ascend to correct awakening."
