English

English version: O assembly, have compassion on me. These World Honored Ones, with great loving-kindness and great compassion, for the benefit of all sentient beings in the future latter five hundred years of the Dharma-image age, who are covered by karmic obstacles, oppressed by various diseases, constantly disturbed by sorrow, grief, and suffering, and for the benefit of those poor and suffering sentient beings, also for the benefit and happiness of humans and gods. These World Honored Ones, the Seven Buddhas Tathagatas, worthy and perfectly enlightened, in past assemblies, with skillful means, made great and supreme subtle vows to bless and embrace sentient beings. Our teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha (释迦牟尼佛), also did the same, proclaiming the scriptures, blessing and embracing sentient beings. Manjushri Bodhisattva (曼殊菩萨), Cure-Release Bodhisattva (救脱菩萨), Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (金刚手菩萨摩诃萨), and others, truly accomplished the sacred words spoken by those Buddhas, fulfilling their vast original vows, and also to fulfill the meaning and benefit of this scripture, accomplishing the entrusted sacred words of the saints, blessing and embracing Mahabrahma (大梵天王), Indra (天主帝释), the Four Heavenly Kings (四大天王), the Twelve Yakshas (十二药叉), the Dharma-protecting saints, and all Upasakas (诸优婆塞), who in the past assemblies made great vows to protect this scripture and those who uphold it. Therefore, we also, like the saints, proclaim the merit and virtue of the original vows, build a mandala, gather all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the assembly of saints, display various offerings, praise the sacred names, and offer various offerings. Now, receiving the grace of the saints, we gather in the mandala, humbly requesting the saints to bestow their grace, remember their great vows, and fulfill our mandala assembly, and also wishing that (name) we sentient beings, seeing before us, obtain the merits and benefits as described in the scripture. (Say this three times). Furthermore, one should make offerings to each of the saints, make vows, and pray. First, recite the name of Good Name Auspicious King Buddha Tathagata (善名称吉祥王佛如来), present various offerings, and pray, saying: 'Namo Refuge Offering Bhagavan Tathagata Arhat Samyaksambuddha Good Name Auspicious King Buddha (南无归依供养婆伽梵如来应正等觉善名称吉祥王佛)' (Say this seven times). Next, present offerings, etc.: Now, in front of all the Buddhas, all the great Bodhisattvas, and the assembly of saints, if one hears the name of Good Name Auspicious King Buddha Tathagata (善名称吉祥王佛如来), with right mindfulness contemplates, praises the sacred name, respectfully makes offerings, and bows seven times, relying on the power of his majestic virtue, just like Good Name Auspicious King Tathagata (善名称吉祥王如来). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The supreme vows I have made. May all sentient beings, afflicted by illnesses and suffering, such as fever, various malarias, diseases caused by insects, enchantments, reanimated corpses, and various fears, be free from these torments. May we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (supreme enlightenment), have all these calamities and sufferings extinguished, completely extinguished. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings be free from all kinds of blindness, deafness, muteness, vitiligo, epilepsy, madness, and other diseases and sufferings. May we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, have all our senses complete and perfect, and may all diseases and sufferings be completely extinguished. Moreover, may we and all sentient beings, bound by greed, hatred, and delusion, commit the five heinous crimes and various evil deeds, slander the true Dharma, and not cultivate various good deeds, and be destined to fall into hell and various evil realms to suffer various torments. May all these five heinous crimes and karmic obstacles be extinguished. Until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, may we no longer fall into the three lower realms, and may we always enjoy the supreme happiness of humans and gods. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings be free from all kinds of poverty and suffering, lacking clothing, food, ornaments, bedding, wealth, treasures, incense, flowers, and music. May we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, have all clothing, food, ornaments, bedding, wealth, treasures, incense, flowers, and music, all be abundant and prosperous. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings, be bound by shackles, and whipped, suffering various torments. May we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, be liberated from all kinds of bondage, whipping, and all sufferings, and may they all be extinguished. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings, be without help or refuge, be oppressed by the fire of suffering, and in dangerous and difficult places, be harmed by various evil beasts such as bears, brown bears, lions, tigers, leopards, jackals, venomous snakes, vipers and scorpions, who seek to take their lives and cause great suffering.

English version: (May) all fights, verbal conflicts, and arguments, and the resulting worries, distress, fright, and fear, may we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unsurpassed complete and perfect enlightenment), may all kinds of fights and verbal conflicts be resolved and pacified, may fright and suffering be completely eliminated, (and may) we treat each other with compassion. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings, entering rivers, lakes, and seas to make a living, encounter huge and terrible storms blowing our ships, with no islands to dock on, and feel extreme worry and distress, may we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, be free from all fears, and may everything be as we wish, reaching safe places and enjoying all kinds of happiness. Furthermore, may we, after this life ends, be immediately reborn in the Buddha-land of the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha, Shubhanama-shri-raja-tathagata (the Well-Named Glorious King Thus Come One, Buddha's name), born from lotus flowers on lion thrones made of various treasures, attaining all the merits of various Dharani-mukhas (gates of Dharani) and Samadhi-mukhas (gates of Samadhi). And in the presence of the revered teacher, Shubhanama-shri-raja-tathagata, and the Buddhas of the ten directions, may we hear the wonderful Dharma, attend to and make offerings, receive the Buddha's joy, and in a very short time, freely enter and exit the Buddha-lands without hindrance. Namo Refuge and Offerings to Bhagavan Tathagata Arhat Samyak-sambuddha Ratnachandra-jnana-shri-prabha-svara-raja-tathagata (Jewel Moon Wisdom Glory Light Sound Sovereign King Thus Come One, Buddha's name) (recite seven times). Next, state the offerings, etc.: Now, in the presence of all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas, if we hear the name of Ratnachandra-jnana-shri-prabha-svara-raja-tathagata, contemplate with right mindfulness, praise the holy name, respectfully make offerings, and prostrate seven times, by the power of the majestic spirit, just like the most supreme and subtle vows made by Ratnachandra-jnana-shri-prabha-svara-raja-tathagata, may we and all sentient beings, for the sake of managing agriculture and commercial affairs, happily indulge in attachment, causing our minds to be disturbed, neglecting the cultivation of the supreme good Dharma of Bodhi, falling into the cycle of birth and death, unable to escape, each enduring immeasurable and boundless aging, sickness, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and affliction. May we, until we attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, have clothing, food, and the means of livelihood, gold, silver, and treasures, abundantly fulfilled according to our wishes, may all good roots increase, and may we not abandon the mind of Bodhi, and may the suffering of all evil paths be liberated. Furthermore, may we and all sentient beings, if our bodies are oppressed by cold, heat, hunger, and thirst, and suffer great distress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
