English version: Since birth, have you killed your father? (If someone has committed a minor offense, they should confess it and not hide it, otherwise they will receive great retribution. This applies even to those who have committed offenses. Those who have not committed any offenses should answer 'no.') Have you killed your mother? Have you drawn blood from the body of a Buddha? Have you killed an Arhat (a perfected being who has attained Nirvana)? Have you killed a He Shang (a respectful term for a Buddhist monk)? Have you killed an Acharya (a teacher)? Have you disrupted the harmony of the Sangha (the monastic community)? If you have committed any of the above seven heinous crimes, you should confess and repent before the assembly, and you must not conceal them, otherwise you will surely fall into Avici hell and suffer immeasurable pain. If you confess and repent according to the teachings of Buddhism, you will surely be able to eliminate your heavy sins, obtain a pure body, enter the wisdom of the Buddha, and quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment). If you have not committed any offenses, just answer 'no.' All you Buddha-sons, from today until you sit at the Bodhi (enlightenment) tree, can you diligently uphold all the most supreme and excellent great precepts of the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas? This is called the Three Pure Precepts: the Precept of Restraining Evil, the Precept of Cultivating Good, and the Precept of Benefiting Sentient Beings. From this life until you become a Buddha, can you vow not to violate them and be able to uphold them? (Answer 'Yes.') During this time, can you uphold the Three Pure Precepts and the Four Great Vows without abandoning them? (Answer 'Yes.') Now that you have generated the Bodhi mind and received the Bodhisattva precepts, may all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas of the ten directions witness us and bless us, so that we may never regress. We prostrate with utmost sincerity. Seventh, the Gate of Inviting Teachers Disciples, so-and-so, respectfully invite all the Buddhas and all the Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, Avalokiteśvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), Maitreya (the Future Buddha), Ākāśagarbha (the Bodhisattva whose wisdom is as vast as space), Samantabhadra (the Bodhisattva who embodies the practice of vows), Vajrapani (the Bodhisattva who holds the Vajra scepter), Manjusri (the Bodhisattva of Wisdom), Vajragarbha (the Bodhisattva who possesses Vajra-like firmness), Sarvanivaranaviskambhin (the Bodhisattva who removes all obstacles), and all the other great Bodhisattvas, to remember their original vows, descend to the Bodhimanda (place of enlightenment), and witness us. We prostrate with utmost sincerity. Disciple (so-and-so) respectfully invites Sakyamuni Buddha (the founder of Buddhism) as Upadhyaya (preceptor), respectfully invites Manjusri as Karmacharya (Karma Teacher), respectfully invites all the Buddhas of the ten directions as Precept Witnesses, respectfully invites all the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Great Bodhisattvas) as Dharma companions.

English version Out of compassion, all Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas accept my request. I prostrate with utmost sincerity. Eighth: The Karma Chapter All you Buddha-sons, listen carefully. Now I perform the Karma ritual for bestowing the precepts upon you. This is precisely the time to receive the precepts. Listen attentively to the Karma text. All Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas of the ten directions and three times, with compassion, remember these Buddha-sons. Starting from today, until they sit at the bodhimanda (bodhimanda, place of enlightenment), may they learn and uphold the pure precepts of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past, present, and future. Namely, the Śīla of restraining negative karma, the Śīla of accumulating merits, and the Śīla of benefiting sentient beings. May you fully receive and uphold these three pure precepts. (Repeat three times) I prostrate with utmost sincerity. Ninth: The Concluding Precepts Chapter All you Buddha-sons, starting from today, until you attain anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), you should fully receive and uphold the pure precepts of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Now that you have completed receiving the pure precepts, you should uphold this matter in this way. (Repeat three times) I prostrate with utmost sincerity. Tenth: The Chapter on Cultivating the Four Means of Embracement All you Buddha-sons, having generated the bodhicitta (bodhicitta, mind of enlightenment) as mentioned above, and having received the bodhisattva-śīla (bodhisattva-śīla, bodhisattva precepts), you should cultivate the four means of embracement (catuḥ-saṃgrahavastu) and the ten major precepts. You should not violate them. These four means of embracement are: dāna (dāna, giving), priyavacana (priyavacana, loving speech), arthakriyā (arthakriyā, beneficial action), and samānārthatā (samānārthatā, acting in concert). In order to subdue beginningless stinginess and benefit sentient beings, you should practice giving. In order to subdue anger, arrogance, and other afflictions, and to benefit sentient beings, you should practice loving speech. In order to benefit sentient beings and fulfill your original vows, you should cultivate beneficial action. In order to be close to great virtuous teachers and to ensure that virtuous thoughts are uninterrupted, you should act in concert. (These four practices are the places for cultivation). Eleventh: The Chapter on the Ten Major Precepts All you Buddha-sons who uphold the Bodhisattva precepts, these ten major precepts are what I shall now proclaim. Listen attentively with utmost sincerity. First, you should not regress from bodhicitta, because it hinders the attainment of Buddhahood. Second, you should not abandon the triratna (triratna, the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and take refuge in external paths, because they are heretical. Third, you should not slander the Three Jewels and the teachings of the triyāna (triyāna, Three Vehicles: Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayāna, Bodhisattvayāna), because it goes against Buddha-nature. Fourth, where you do not understand the profound Mahayana scriptures, do not... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 应生疑惑。非凡夫境故。

English version: After a long while, the Tripitaka Master arose from his samadhi (deep meditative state) and surveyed the four assemblies (monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen). The four assemblies, with palms together, bowed their heads, expressing their utmost respect again and again. After a long pause, the Tripitaka Master spoke, saying, 'Although I have previously received the Bodhisattva precepts, now I must receive again the inner realization of the undefiled pure Dharma precepts of all Buddhas. Only then can one enter the gate of Chan (Zen). After entering the gate of Chan, one must recite this Dharani (a sacred utterance or mantra). This Dharani is ultimate and supreme, equal to all Buddhas, enabling one to awaken to the ocean of all wisdom through the Dharma. This is called the true Dharma precept. This Dharma is secret and not to be readily heard. If one wishes to hear it, one must first receive a Dharani, which is:' 'oṃ sa ma ya stvaṃ' 'This Dharani should be recited three times, and then one can hear the precepts and other secret Dharmas, and also fully possess all the pure precepts of a Bodhisattva. The various merits are beyond description.' 'Furthermore, to generate the Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment), another Dharani is imparted, which is:' 'oṃ bo dhi ci tta mu tpa da ya mi' 'This Dharani should also be recited three times, and then one can generate the Bodhicitta, and eventually attain Buddhahood, with a firm and unretreating mind.' 'Furthermore, for the purpose of entering into realization, another Dharani is received, which is:' 'oṃ ci tta pra ti vai dhaṃ ka ro mi' 'This Dharani should also be recited three times, and then one can obtain all the profound treasure of precepts, and possess all Sarvajnana (all-knowing wisdom), quickly realizing unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment). All Buddhas will speak in unison in praise.'
