English version: May I obtain vast wisdom, understanding the true meaning of all Dharmas. Regarding the subtle differences between defiled and pure Dharmas, may I clearly distinguish them without any confusion. May I obtain sharp and clear wisdom. May all thoughts of non-awakening, misinterpretation, and doubt be completely extinguished at the moment they arise. May I obtain swift-seeing wisdom. Regarding the subtle and profound meanings of the Dharma that others cannot comprehend, may I understand them without laborious study. May I obtain profound and secret wisdom. In summary, may I be able to distinguish the faults of revealing wisdom and the meanings of words that deviate from wisdom. May I cultivate the Bodhisattva path from skillful means and right wisdom, and ultimately reach the other shore. May I be like the venerable Manjushri Bodhisattva. May all these vast, sharp, clear, swift-seeing, profound, and secret wisdoms be easily obtained, held according to conditions, subduing heretical views, and delighting the wise. Because I am skilled in distinguishing, discussing, and compiling the Dharmas spoken by the Buddha, may I obtain the other shore that the wise can reach. Furthermore, in every lifetime, may all attachments to self-interest and any thoughts of regression in the vast practice of the Bodhisattva path be completely eradicated. With courageous mind, may I diligently benefit others and ultimately reach the other shore. From the heart of skillful means and Bodhi, may I practice the Bodhisattva path and ultimately reach the limitless realm. May I be like the victorious Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara). Furthermore, in every lifetime, may I cultivate both self-benefit and the benefit of others, destroying all demons, heretics, and enemies. From the power of skillful means and courage, may I cultivate the Bodhisattva path and ultimately reach the ultimate state. May I be like the secret lord Vajrapani (Vajrapani). In every lifetime, with tireless diligence, may I perfect the wonderful practices of the Bodhisattva, from the initial aspiration to every moment, without any laziness. Thus, through great diligence, may I obtain supreme Bodhi. May I be like the unparalleled Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha). In every lifetime, may I eliminate interruptions in the path of cultivation and eradicate all diseases of body and mind. By subtly reciting the title and name, may I extinguish the pain and faults of body, speech, and mind. May I be like the Medicine Buddha Bhaisajyaguru (Bhaisajyaguru). Furthermore, in every lifetime, if I desire limitless lifespan, by subtly reciting the title and name, may I destroy untimely and accidental death. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 。愿如无量寿佛。

English version May I be like Amitabha Buddha (Infinite Life Buddha). When the obstacle of lifespan is about to arrive, may I see the saving Amitabha Buddha manifesting in any of the four activities of pacifying, increasing, magnetizing, or subjugating, to subdue the obstacles. Having seen the Buddha's form, may the obstacles to my lifespan be completely eliminated without any remainder. When Amitabha Buddha manifests according to the needs of those to be guided, may I recognize that it is Amitabha Buddha. May I generate unwavering, firm, and sincere faith, and through the power of the Buddha's blessings, wherever I am born, may I never be separated from Amitabha Buddha, and may I be close to him as a spiritual guide. Furthermore, in life after life, may I obtain the root of all worldly and transcendental virtues, a Mahayana (Great Vehicle) spiritual guide who possesses correct views and conduct. May the spiritual guide joyfully protect me. When the spiritual guide is protecting me, may I generate unwavering and firm faith in front of the spiritual guide. May I always bring joy to the spiritual guide. Even for a moment, may I not cause the spiritual guide to be displeased. Through the instructions of the spiritual guide, following all his teachings, may there be nothing that I cannot fully accept. Regarding the meaning of the teachings of the spiritual guide, may I be able to thoroughly understand them in accordance with the Dharma, and may I be able to practice them, and may I reach the ultimate state. Even for a moment, may I not be influenced by bad friends. In life after life, may I fully integrate respect for cause and effect, the mind of renunciation, Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment), and pure view, and practice effortless and natural conduct. May this state be constant and uninterrupted. Wherever I am born, may all the virtuous roots I cultivate through body, speech, and mind be entirely for the benefit of others, and may these virtuous roots become the cause for attaining pure enlightenment. Only that Lord's wondrous, supreme fruit, If I have not attained it now, May I obtain a pure body for practicing the path, In life after life, remembering to always renounce.
