English version The Sutra of Repentance Spoken by Mañjuśrī Buddha Translated by Dharma Rakṣa, a Tripiṭaka Master from the Yuezhi Kingdom of the Western Jin Dynasty Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa (Vulture Peak) in Rāmagṛha (Rajgir), together with a large assembly of bhikṣus (monks). There were one thousand two hundred and fifty bhikṣus, and countless bodhisattvas—all great sages who had attained supernatural powers, acquired dhāraṇī (retentive memory and wisdom), grasped the wisdom of the ten directions, established the three doors of liberation (emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness), understood the three periods of time (past, present, and future), and without any hindrance, proclaimed the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), rescued the beings of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm), and expounded the Three Vehicles (Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayāna, and Mahāyāna) to enable them to understand the unsurpassed true reality of the inherent non-existence of all things. At that time, Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva was traveling in Mount Gṛdhrakūṭa in Rāmagṛha, surrounded by various bodhisattvas, countless great disciples, and retinues of devas (gods), nāgas (dragons), yakṣas (spirits), gandharvas (celestial musicians), asuras (demigods), garuḍas (mythical birds), kiṃnaras (celestial musicians), mahoragas (great serpents), and others, extensively expounding the Dharma for sentient beings, explaining and distinguishing the learning of the Three Vehicles. Among those who came to listen, those who originally studied the Śrāvakayāna (the Vehicle of Hearers) would inquire of Mañjuśrī about the Four Noble Truths (duḥkha, samudaya, nirodha, and marga); those who studied the Pratyekabuddhayāna (the Vehicle of Solitary Buddhas) had already inquired about the profound matters of the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination (ignorance, volitional action, consciousness, name and form, six sense organs, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, old age and death); those who studied the Mahāyāna (the Great Vehicle) would inquire based on their own practice, all receiving the Six Pāramitās (giving, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom), the Four Immeasurables (loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity), and the unsurpassed Great Path of skillful means; or some would inquire about supernatural powers, the Four Right Exertions, the Four Immeasurables, and various distinctions of the Bodhisattva Path, as well as the Thirty-Seven Factors of Enlightenment (the four foundations of mindfulness, the four right exertions, the four bases of power, the five roots, the five powers, the seven factors of enlightenment, and the noble eightfold path), the irreversible stage, and surpassing entry into nirvana; or some would inquire about the places for repentance in the Buddha-fields, the Ten Bhūmis (ten stages of a bodhisattva's path), the Ten Kṣāntis (ten kinds of forbearance), the ten distinctions, the ten auspicious signs, the ten holdings, the ten seals, and the thirteen samādhis; or some would inquire about the non-destruction of all dharmas, entering into the non-origination of the forbearance of one meaning. Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva answered each question according to what was asked, delighting their hearts and leaving no doubt. At that time, in the assembly, there were some newly learning bodhisattvas who had just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment and came to listen—they were unable to protect the causes of their sins and merits, were covered by the skandhas (aggregates) and thus had false thoughts, were obscured by doubt and suspicion, were accustomed to inverted views, had no courageous aspiration, relied on external forms, harbored timid hearts, and were unable to inquire. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

文殊师利,净除因缘一切罪苦、修学大乘至无上道。 时彼会中有一菩萨,名曰如来齐光照耀,见诸新学菩萨心念志怀犹豫、不能自决,则前白问文殊师利无罪之事、悔过之义、无失劝助、咨请无过、不违诱进。 文殊师利即答如来齐光照耀菩萨:“是,族姓子!菩萨大士欲除罪业、奉行平等、入于过去当来现在佛法,五体投地寻复起立,右膝着地,口自说言:‘一切众生从于左路、著于左道,其在邪见,悉当立之于贤圣法。’ “欲化一切众生之类皆至无上正真平等之道,以是之故,右膝着地当宣此言:‘犹若如来、至真、等正觉诣于道场坐尊树时,蠲除一切众恶之法、诸善普备,吾亦如之。’ “观首遍体以手摩之,重以右手而指于地:‘吾当降魔并及官属。若得佛道,令一切人、众生之类,消伏魔事及外怨敌。’坐佛树下指地要誓成佛圣慧,如本世尊右手指地降十八亿诸魔官属。以是之故,所以右掌而案着地,以当左手案著于地。 “又跪左膝口说此言:‘假使有人住愚痴法,所受颠倒而不顺义、𢤱悷难化、不成好器、悭贪垢秽而处危害、訾毁同学,今者识道,改往修来,而皆谛受于四恩行。’是以左手及与左膝著于地矣。 “假使头脑著于地时,口演此言:‘使一切人 现代汉语译本:文殊师利(Manjushri,智慧的象征),为了清除所有因缘带来的罪苦,修学大乘(Mahayana,佛教的一个主要分支)直至无上道(Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,无上正等正觉)。 当时,法会中有一位菩萨,名叫如来齐光照耀(Tathagata Samantaprabha,如来普遍的光明),他看到新学的菩萨们心念和志向犹豫不定,不能自己决断,于是上前请问文殊师利关于无罪之事、忏悔之义、无失的劝助、咨询请教没有过失、不违背诱导进步的方法。 文殊师利回答如来齐光照耀菩萨说:‘是的,善男子!菩萨大士想要消除罪业、奉行平等、进入过去、未来、现在诸佛的佛法,应该五体投地,然后起身,右膝着地,口中自己说:‘一切众生都从左路走,执着于左道,他们的见解是邪见,都应当使他们安立于贤圣之法。’ ‘想要教化一切众生都达到无上正真平等的道路,因此,右膝着地时应当宣说这些话:‘犹如如来、至真、等正觉到达道场,坐在菩提树下时,清除一切众恶之法,诸善普皆具备,我也像他一样。’ ‘观察头部,用手遍摩全身,再用右手指向地面:‘我应当降伏魔及其眷属。如果我能证得佛道,就让一切人、一切众生,都能消除魔事以及外来的怨敌。’坐在菩提树下,指着地面立下誓言,成就佛的圣慧,就像本师世尊(Shakyamuni Buddha,释迦牟尼佛)用右手指地,降伏十八亿诸魔官属一样。因此,用右掌按在地上,也用左手按在地上。 ‘又跪下左膝,口中说这些话:‘假使有人住在愚痴之法中,所接受的都是颠倒而不顺应真义的,刚愎自用难以教化,不能成为好的器皿,悭吝贪婪,污秽不堪,处在危害之中,诽谤诋毁同学,现在认识了正道,改正过去的错误,修习未来的善行,并且都能如实地接受四恩之行。’所以左手和左膝都要着地。 ‘假使头脑着地的时候,口中演说这些话:‘使一切人’

English version: Manjushri (symbol of wisdom), in order to purify all sins and sufferings arising from conditions, and to study the Mahayana (a major branch of Buddhism) until reaching Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed complete and perfect enlightenment). At that time, there was a Bodhisattva in the assembly named Tathagata Samantaprabha (the universal light of the Tathagata), who saw that the newly learning Bodhisattvas were hesitant in their thoughts and aspirations, unable to make decisions on their own. Therefore, he stepped forward to ask Manjushri about matters of innocence, the meaning of repentance, faultless encouragement, seeking advice without error, and methods of inducement and progress that are not contrary to the Dharma. Manjushri replied to the Bodhisattva Tathagata Samantaprabha: 'Yes, son of a noble family! If a Bodhisattva Mahasattva wishes to eliminate karmic obstacles, practice equality, and enter the Buddhadharma of the past, future, and present, they should prostrate with their five limbs touching the ground, then rise, place their right knee on the ground, and say these words: 'All sentient beings are walking the left path, clinging to the left way, and their views are wrong. All of them should be established in the Dharma of the wise and noble.' 'Wishing to transform all beings to reach the unsurpassed, true, equal, and correct path, therefore, when the right knee is on the ground, these words should be proclaimed: 'Just as the Tathagata, the truly enlightened one, the perfectly enlightened one, arrived at the Bodhi tree in the place of enlightenment, eliminated all evil dharmas, and was fully equipped with all good qualities, so shall I be.' 'Observe the head, rub the entire body with the hands, and then point to the ground with the right hand: 'I shall subdue the demons and their retinues. If I attain Buddhahood, may all people and all sentient beings be able to eliminate demonic affairs and external enemies.' Sitting under the Bodhi tree, pointing to the ground, make a vow to achieve the wisdom of a Buddha, just as Shakyamuni Buddha (the original teacher) pointed to the ground with his right hand and subdued eighteen billion demonic retinues. Therefore, the right palm is pressed on the ground, and the left hand is also pressed on the ground.' 'And kneeling on the left knee, say these words: 'Suppose there are people who dwell in the dharma of ignorance, accepting inverted views that do not accord with the truth, stubborn and difficult to transform, unable to become good vessels, stingy and greedy, defiled and in danger, slandering and disparaging fellow practitioners. Now, recognizing the right path, correcting past mistakes, cultivating future good deeds, and being able to truly accept the practice of the four kinds of grace.' Therefore, the left hand and the left knee should be placed on the ground. 'Suppose when the head touches the ground, these words are spoken: 'May all people' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
