English version: Having obtained the Dharma, let them all generate good intentions. For example, in giving Sarva-jñātṛ-dāna (the giving of all-knowing wisdom) and other forms of giving, now that so-and-so is giving, may it be like the practice of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Universal Virtue Bodhisattva), and may this merit benefit all beings. May so-and-so not fall into Naraka (hell), Preta (hungry ghost), animals, or the eight evil paths filled with toil and suffering; may they all be born in places where there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, may they all be born in Sukhavati Amitabha Buddha-kṣetra (the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha). May so-and-so, with this merit, through their good heart, fully and completely generate the Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi-citta (mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). ‘So-and-so, with the merit of this Dharma giving, for all people, may it be a refuge and a protection. Accepting their refuge, may it be a deliverance for them, in darkness may it be light, the brightest of lights, in support may it be support, the most venerable of supports; all those who have not yet been delivered, I shall deliver them, those who have not yet been liberated, I shall liberate them; those who have not yet attained Parinirvāṇa (complete extinction), I shall cause them to attain Parinirvāṇa. Creating all people, may they all generate the Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi-citta.’ ‘So-and-so, with the merit of this Dharma giving, may all people be like so-and-so themselves, in all places of birth, all thoughts that arise, may they always make offerings to all Buddhas, make offerings to all Bodhisattvas, with the merit of the offerings previously made to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, may all people be like so-and-so themselves, not separated from the Bodhisattva Dharma, not separated from Pāramitā (perfection), Mañjuśrī, Vimalakīrti, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, etc. What these Bodhisattvas practice, may they all be endowed with Dhāraṇī (total retention) pure Samādhi (concentration), with one mind unmoving, may they all accomplish what is practiced in Prajñā-pāramitā (perfection of wisdom), completely understanding Upāya-kauśalya (skillful means), all that is entered into, the differences and characteristics in all Dharmas, may all people attain it like so-and-so, the wisdom and practice of these Bodhisattvas, and be fully endowed.’ ‘So-and-so, with the merit of this Dharma giving, may those in Naraka, Preta, animals, those who are imprisoned and bound, may they all be liberated. May those without eyes gain eyes, those who are deaf gain hearing, may those who are in toil and suffering all attain peace and security; whether in this Buddha-kṣetra or other Buddha-kṣetras, down to Avīci-naraka (Avici hell), up to the infinite, the creatures that crawl in between, those with feet or without feet, whether in the future, whether --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Those born from eggs, those born from wombs, those born from moisture, those born by transformation, those with form and those without form, those with thought and those without thought, and all humans and non-humans, who rely on each other, may they, by constantly maintaining the Buddha-eye, see, know, and perceive everything, so that all beings may attain human form, enter the Buddha-path, hear the Dharma and understand and receive it, and all attain the Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi-citta (unexcelled, complete and perfect enlightenment mind). ‘May so-and-so share the merit of this Dharma-giving with all beings. May so-and-so, with this merit, fully attain the conduct of all Buddhas, the conduct of all Bodhisattvas, the conduct of all paramitas (perfections), so that all beings may go to make offerings, make vows, obtain the Buddha-kshetra (Buddha-field), and be able to purify the Dharma of the three times (past, present, future), understanding and knowing everything. Just like the vajra (diamond, symbolizing indestructibility), nothing can obstruct it. May all beings share in it, may so-and-so enable them to attain the wisdom of the Buddha, and fully possess all the abilities to move others. May they attain all profound wisdom, and have no doubts about any Dharma. With this merit, may so-and-so fulfill their vows, like the Dharma practice of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Universal Virtue Bodhisattva), may they attain all ten powers and grounds. Take this as proof. With this merit, may all beings and so-and-so attain blessings.’ Chapter Five: The Parable of Blessings Manjushri Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Wisdom) asked Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Universal Goodness), ‘If there are good men and good women who wish to seek the Bodhisattva path, and who repent of their transgressions and joyfully practice the Dharma three times each day and night, as described above, what will their blessings be like?’ Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Universal Goodness) replied to Manjushri Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Wisdom), ‘If there are good men and good women who practice the Bodhisattva path, and who use the seven treasures filling the entire Jambudvipa (the continent where we live) to make offerings to the Tathagata Arhat Samyak-sambuddha (Thus Come One, Worthy of Offerings, Completely Awakened One), it is not as good as these good men and good women who, three times each day and night, encourage and joyfully practice the Dharma, repenting of what should be repented, enduring what should be endured, bowing to what should be bowed to, rejoicing in what should be rejoiced in, requesting and encouraging what should be requested and encouraged, giving what should be given, practicing day and night, as taught above. Their blessings exceed the blessings of offering the seven treasures filling the entire Jambudvipa to the Tathagata by a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred million times, a huge hundred million times...’ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 倍，终不可比、不可计、亦不可譬。”
