English version: 'For immeasurable lifetimes, having refrained from harsh speech and taught others to do the same, one subsequently attains the mark of the Brahma-like voice (Brahmaghosha-laksana). Having attained this mark, one subsequently attains the mark of the bull-king's dark blue eyes (Usabha-netra-laksana). Why is this? Because as a Bodhisattva, for immeasurable lifetimes, one has equally regarded enemies and loved ones with compassionate eyes, therefore one subsequently attains the mark of the bull-king's eyes. Having attained this mark, one subsequently attains the mark of the white hair-curl (Urna-laksana). Why is this? Because as a Bodhisattva, for immeasurable lifetimes, one has proclaimed the true Dharma, the true Dharma being not false, therefore one subsequently attains the mark of the white hair-curl. Having attained this mark, one subsequently attains the mark of the invisible crown of the head (Usnisa-laksana). Why is this? Because as a Bodhisattva, for immeasurable lifetimes, one has bowed with the crown of the head to all sages, teachers, parents, respecting, praising, revering, and making offerings, therefore one attains the mark of the invisible crown of the head.' 'Good man! There are two kinds of Bodhisattvas: one is a householder, and the other is a renunciate. It is not difficult for a renunciate Bodhisattva to cultivate such karma; it is difficult for a householder. Why is this? Because householders are often entangled by evil conditions.' Upasaka Precept Sutra, Volume 1 Taisho Tripitaka Volume 24, No. 1488, Upasaka Precept Sutra Upasaka Precept Sutra, Volume 2 Translated by Tripitaka Master Dharmaraksa from Central India of the Northern Liang Dynasty Chapter 7: Making Vows Shan Sheng said: 'World Honored One! Who is able to cultivate the karma of these thirty-two marks (Dvātrimśat Mahāpuruṣa Lakṣaṇāni)?' The Buddha said: 'Good man! A wise person is able to cultivate them.' 'World Honored One! What is called a wise person?' 'Good man! If one is able to skillfully make the unsurpassed great vow, this is called a wise person. After a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva) has aroused the Bodhi-mind (Bodhi-citta), all the good deeds done by body, speech, and mind are vowed for the sake of all beings; in the future, the fruits obtained will be shared with all. The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva constantly draws near to Buddhas (Buddha), Śrāvakas (Śrāvaka), Pratyekabuddhas (Pratyekabuddha), Kalyāṇa-mitras (Kalyāṇa-mitra), etc., making offerings, revering, inquiring about profound Dharma, receiving and upholding it without loss. And makes this vow: 'Now I draw near to all Buddhas, Śrāvakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and good friends, I would rather endure great suffering for immeasurable lifetimes than turn away from the Bodhi-' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Generating and regressing Bodhicitta! If sentient beings strike, scold, slander, or insult my body with malicious intent, may I, as a result, increase my compassion and not generate evil thoughts! May I, in future lives, not be born as a woman, without roots (referring to lacking sexual organs), with two roots (referring to having both male and female sexual organs), or as a slave! Furthermore, may my body have the power to freely serve others, and not allow others to have the power to control me! May my body have all faculties complete, be far from evil friends, not be born in evil countries or remote border regions, but always be born into noble families, with exceptional appearance and strength, and with abundant and free wealth! May I attain a good mind of mindfulness, a mind of freedom, and a heart full of courage and strength! May all that I say be joyfully received by listeners, free from all obstacles! Without negligence or laxity, may I be free from all evil deeds of body, speech, and mind, and always bring great benefit to sentient beings! For the benefit of sentient beings, I will not be attached to my own life, nor will I create evil karma for the sake of preserving my life! When benefiting sentient beings, I will not seek any reward! I will always joyfully uphold the twelve divisions of scriptures (Dvadasanga-Buddhavacana), and after upholding them, I will teach them to others! I will be able to destroy the evil views and evil karma of sentient beings, and no worldly affairs will be able to defeat me; after gaining victory, I will further teach them with the Dharma! I will be skilled in healing the severe illnesses of sentient beings' bodies and minds, able to reconcile those who are separated, and provide protection for those who are fearful; after protecting them, I will expound various Dharma teachings to them, so that their minds may be tamed after hearing them! Seeing the hungry, I will give my body in charity, so that they may be satisfied, and may they not generate greedy or evil thoughts; when they eat my flesh, may it be like eating grass or wood! I will always joyfully make offerings to teachers, parents, good friends, and virtuous elders, and my heart will be equal towards enemies and loved ones! I will always cultivate the six recollections and the thought of no-self, the twelve links of dependent origination (Dvadasanga-pratityasamutpada)! In places where there are no Three Jewels (Triratna), I will delight in solitude, cultivating loving-kindness and compassion! If all sentient beings see my body, or hear or touch me, may they be free from afflictions!' Although the Bodhisattva knows that he does not seek other fruits besides Bodhi, for the sake of sentient beings, he seeks various benefits to propagate the Dharma. 'Good man! If a Bodhisattva can make such vows, you should know that this person is a supreme Dharma-wealthy elder, a Bodhisattva who is seeking the Dharma King but has not yet attained the Dharma King. 'Good man! A Bodhisattva-Mahasattva who possesses three qualities can be called a Dharma-wealthy elder: first, the mind does not (missing) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
