English version: Being oppressed by various diseases, constantly disturbed by sorrow, grief, and suffering, and acting for the benefit and welfare of those poor and afflicted sentient beings. Also, for the benefit and happiness of humans and gods (devas), relying on the skillful means of the Tathagatas, the vast, supreme, and subtle great vows, and the power of divine might. Now, for the sake of us (name) and all sentient beings, to be a refuge, a protector, and a source of strength, we sincerely invite, wishing that the holy assembly will descend upon the Dharma assembly and the fragrant altar, and grant us acceptance. With one mind, we invite our teacher, Sakyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha), who, for the benefit of sentient beings, manifested the appearance of Nirvana in Jambudvipa (Jambudvipa, referring to the world we live in), and then went to other places, using the Tathagata's supernatural powers to benefit and bring happiness to sentient beings freely. May the World-Honored One, with great compassion, remember the vows of the past and not abandon the great vows. We are also the sentient beings you have transformed, and we have already received your grace. Now, for the sake of (name) and all sentient beings, to be a refuge, a protector, and a source of strength, we sincerely invite, wishing that you will descend upon the fragrant altar, descend upon the assembly, and grant us acceptance. With one mind, we invite Manjusri Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Manjusri Bodhisattva Mahasattva), Jiu Tuo Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Jiu Tuo Bodhisattva Mahasattva), Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva), and all the holy assembly of Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas. With great compassion, remembering the great vows made to the assembly when expounding the 'Merit Sutra of the Fundamental Vows of the Seven Buddhas' in the past, to follow the Buddha's teachings and uphold the scriptures. Now, for the sake of (name) and all sentient beings, to be a refuge, a protector, and a source of strength, we sincerely invite, wishing that you will descend upon the fragrant altar, descend upon the assembly, and grant us acceptance. With one mind, we invite those who personally received the entrustment of the Tathagata in the past assembly, who, with the same true language, uphold the Buddha's decree and vow to protect the Dharma. The fourfold assembly also wishes to uphold the 'Merit Sutra of the Fundamental Vows of the Seven Buddhas'. Mahabrahma (Mahabrahma), Śakra (Śakra), Dhṛtarāṣṭra (Dhṛtarāṣṭra), Virūḍhaka (Virūḍhaka), Virūpākṣa (Virūpākṣa), Vaiśravaṇa (Vaiśravaṇa), and all the holy assembly of Dharma protectors.
