English version: He made a vow, desiring to seek the unsurpassed, true path of perfect enlightenment: ‘I make this vow: whatever the Tathagata (Buddha) possesses, may I obtain it all; to uproot the fundamental causes of people's toilsome lives and deaths, and to make them all like the Buddha.’ ‘Only to preach the scriptures for them, what can be practiced, to enable them to quickly reach a decision, when I become a Buddha, I will make them have no one who can surpass me.’ ‘May the Buddha tell me about the merits of the Buddha lands, I shall uphold them, I shall dwell in them, and the Buddha land I wish to create will be like that.’ The Buddha told Ananda: ‘The Buddha Shiraowang knew his (Dharmakara Bodhisattva's) brilliance and the quick fulfillment of his wishes, so he preached to Dharmakara Bodhisattva, saying: ‘For example, the water of the great ocean, if one person measures it with a 'sheng' (a unit of volume), even if they measure for a kalpa (an eon), they would not stop, and it could still be exhausted, causing the sea to be emptied and the mud at the bottom to be obtained. If a person sincerely seeks the path, how could it not be obtained? Those who seek and strive diligently without ceasing will eventually obtain what they desire in their hearts.’ When Dharmakara Bodhisattva heard the Buddha Shiraowang preach in this way, he was greatly delighted and rejoiced. That Buddha then selected from two hundred and ten billion Buddha lands the good and evil of the heavens and people, and the beauty and ugliness of the lands, and selected what he desired in his heart and gave it to him. After the Buddha Shiraowang finished preaching, Dharmakara Bodhisattva became single-minded, and then obtained the divine eye, able to see the good and evil of the heavens and people, and the beauty and ugliness of the lands in two hundred and ten billion Buddha lands. He then selected what he desired in his heart, and thus formed these twenty-four vows, which he then practiced, striving diligently and courageously, seeking with toil. After countless kalpas of serving and making offerings to the Buddhas, and countless Buddhas having passed, Dharmakara Bodhisattva eventually attained Buddhahood himself, named Immeasurable Pure Awareness, the most honored, with wisdom, courage, and unparalleled light. Now, the land where he resides is extremely wonderful, and in other Buddha lands, he teaches countless heavens, people, and creatures that fly and crawl in all directions, and there is no one who cannot be delivered from sorrow and suffering. When Immeasurable Pure Buddha was a Bodhisattva, he always practiced these twenty-four vows, cherishing them like precious jewels. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Buddha said, 'What are the twenty-four vows?'

If this vow is not fulfilled, I will not become a Buddha.'
