English version The Sutra of Great and Profound Transference of Merit Spoken by the Buddha The name of the translator is lost in the Sangha's Record. Now it is temporarily attached to the Song Dynasty Record. Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park in Shravasti (Śrāvastī), together with a large assembly of eight thousand Bhikshus (monks). At that time, the World Honored One (Bhagavan) was surrounded by the assembly, both in front and behind, and was expounding the Dharma. Then, in the assembly, there was a Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva) named Ming Tian (Ming Tian), who immediately rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, respectfully joined his palms, and said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I have some questions to ask, and I hope that the World Honored One will explain them in detail.' At that time, the Buddha said to the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (Bodhisattva-mahāsattva) Ming Tian, 'Good man! Ask whatever you wish, do not have any doubts, and the Tathagata (Tathagata) will answer and explain according to your questions.' The Bodhisattva Ming Tian then said to the Buddha, 'Why is it that a Bodhisattva, by cultivating only a few roots of goodness, can obtain great rewards, or by performing many meritorious deeds, the blessings are immeasurable?' The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva Ming Tian, 'Excellent, excellent! Ming Tian! You are able to ask such a question before the Buddha. You have already planted many roots of virtue in the past with countless Buddhas, made offerings to the Buddhas, and associated with good teachers. You are able to ask such profound questions for sentient beings who delight in blessings. Listen carefully, listen carefully! Think about it carefully.' The Bodhisattva Ming Tian said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One! I will certainly follow your teachings.' The Buddha said to Ming Tian, 'All Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas should, in the past, future, and present, cultivate compassionate bodily actions, cultivate compassionate verbal actions, cultivate compassionate mental actions, and wholeheartedly remember the merits performed by the Buddha. Furthermore, Ming Tian! Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas should go to the temples of the Tathagata to pay homage and make offerings, kneel on their right knees, join their palms, circumambulate to the right, scatter flowers, burn incense, hang banners and canopies, perform various musical instruments, with respect and reverence, sing with subtle sounds, and praise the Buddha's merits with profound verses, rejoicing and praising the Buddha's good deeds.' The Buddha said to Ming Tian: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: ‘How does a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva cultivate loving-kindness in body, speech, and mind, and contemplate the merits of the Buddhas of the past, future, and present?’ Good man! A Bodhisattva-Mahasattva should contemplate the Tathagata (如来): the steadfast man, the unsurpassed man, the most excellent man, courageous and fearless like a lion king, able to liberate himself and liberate others, able to pacify himself and pacify others, able to extinguish his own afflictions and extinguish the afflictions of others, speaking the truth to establish sentient beings, with a heart free from deceit and adorned with pure precepts, with strength, fearlessness, and eloquence that have forever eliminated obstructive habits, at ease with the Dharma and without equal. Having thus single-mindedly contemplated the merits of the Buddha, he kneels on his right knee, scatters flowers, burns incense, offers banners, canopies, and music. This is the Bodhisattva's cultivation of loving-kindness in body. With subtle sounds he sings, and with profound verses he praises the immeasurable merits of the Tathagata. This is the Bodhisattva's cultivation of loving-kindness in speech. Because of the good roots of body and speech and the merit of contemplating the Buddha, he is utterly sincere and respectful. This is the Bodhisattva's cultivation of loving-kindness in mind. Ming Tian (明天)! This is how a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva cultivates loving-kindness in body, speech, and mind, and practices right mindfulness towards the Buddhas of the past, future, and present. The Buddha further told Ming Tian (明天): ‘Moreover, a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva should also cultivate loving-kindness in body, speech, and mind towards all sentient beings of the past, future, and present, and regard all sentient beings equally. Ming Tian (明天)! How should a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva cultivate loving-kindness in body, speech, and mind towards all sentient beings of the three times, and regard all sentient beings equally?’ Thus, Ming Tian (明天)! A Bodhisattva-Mahasattva does not kill sentient beings, does not steal the property of others, does not engage in sexual misconduct, does not lie, does not use flowery language, does not engage in divisive speech, does not use harsh language, does not covet, does not harbor anger, and does not hold wrong views. How does a Bodhisattva not kill sentient beings? He cherishes all sentient beings with loving-kindness, feels shame and compassion, and forever abandons knives and weapons. Not stealing means: if there are lost items in villages or empty places, he does not take them without being given. Not engaging in sexual misconduct means: if a woman has an owner, protected by her parents, brothers, or relatives, he does not even arise a lustful thought when seeing her being presented with a single flower. Not lying means: if in villages or towns, or before the king, being worthy of --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
