English version: I sincerely take refuge in the Bodhisattvas: Homage to Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva (Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva who governs the underworld), Homage to Mahavyuha Bodhisattva (Mahāvyūha Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva known for his magnificence), Homage to Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, also known as Guanyin Bodhisattva). After paying homage to all the Buddhas, I once again repent. Having already repented for the retribution of hell, I shall now repent again for the retribution of the three evil realms. In the scriptures, the Buddha said that those with many desires suffer much because they seek profit. Those who are content find joy even when sleeping on the ground; those who are not content are not satisfied even in heaven. However, when worldly people encounter sudden calamities, they are willing to give up wealth without counting the cost, yet they do not realize that this body is on the brink of the deep pit of the three evil paths, and will fall if a single breath is not returned. If someone advises them to cultivate merit and accumulate good karma for the future, they cling to their stinginess and refuse to do so. Such people are extremely foolish and deluded. Why is this so? The Buddha said in the scriptures that one does not bring a single coin at birth, nor does one take a single coin away at death. Toiling to accumulate wealth only brings worry and trouble, benefiting oneself not at all, but leaving it all to others. Without good deeds to rely on, without virtue to depend on, one is destined to fall into various evil realms after death. Therefore, today I take refuge in the Three Jewels and sincerely repent. Again, I repent for the sins of ignorance in the animal realm. I repent for the sins of bearing heavy burdens and pulling plows in the animal realm, repaying debts from past lives. I repent for the sins of being unfree in the animal realm, being slaughtered and butchered by others. I repent for the sins of being footless, bipedal, quadrupedal, and multi-legged in the animal realm. I repent for the sins of having my feathers, scales, and shells devoured by small insects in the animal realm. Thus, there are countless sins in the animal realm, and today I sincerely repent for them all. Again, I repent for the sins of enduring hunger and thirst for hundreds of thousands of years in the hungry ghost realm, never even hearing the name of water. I repent for the sins of hungry ghosts eating pus, blood, feces, and filth. I repent for the sins of hungry ghosts whose limbs are ablaze with fire when they move. I repent for the sins of hungry ghosts with large bellies and small throats. Thus, there are countless sufferings in the hungry ghost realm, and today I prostrate myself and beg for forgiveness for them all. Again, I repent for the sins of hypocrisy, flattery, arrogance, and deceit in the realms of all ghosts, spirits, and asuras. I repent for the sins of ghosts and spirits carrying sand and stones to fill rivers and seas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The retribution for being beaten and tortured. I repent for the verbal disputes and mutual contamination arising from public or private matters in the human world. I repent for the retribution of mutual slander and defamation in the human world. I repent for the retribution of chronic and persistent illnesses in the human world, confined to bed and unable to move. I repent for the retribution of winter plagues, summer epidemics, toxic diseases, and typhoid fever in the human world. I repent for the retribution of sudden illnesses, swelling, and blockages in the human world. I repent for the retribution of various evil spirits seeking opportunities to cause disasters in the human world. I repent for the retribution of strange bird calls, flying corpses, and evil ghosts causing disturbances in the human world. I repent for the retribution of being harmed by tigers, leopards, wolves, and all kinds of evil birds and beasts on land and water in the human world. I repent for the retribution of suicide by hanging in the human world. I repent for the retribution of throwing oneself into pits, jumping into fire, drowning, and falling to death in the human world. I repent for the retribution of lacking prestige, virtue, and fame in the human world. I repent for the retribution of not having satisfactory clothing and necessities in the human world. I repent for the retribution of encountering evil advisors who create obstacles when walking, going out, or doing things in the human world. Like this, in the present and future, among humans and gods, there are immeasurable disasters, calamities, epidemics, hardships, and afflictions. I, so-and-so, sincerely pray to the Buddhas of the ten directions, the honored Dharma, and the holy assembly for mercy and repentance, wishing that all these retributions be eliminated. Previously, I have repented for all the afflictions and obstacles of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind) and the six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind), all karmic obstacles, and all retributive obstacles of the four births (womb-born, egg-born, moisture-born, and transformation-born) and the six realms (heaven, human, asura, hell, hungry ghost, and animal). Now, I shall sequentially make vows and dedicate the merits. I, so-and-so, wish to dedicate all the merits generated from repenting of these three obstacles to all sentient beings, to repent together, and wish that all sentient beings may have peace and happiness in body and mind in this life, and that all inauspicious things such as the three disasters (flood, fire, and wind) and the eight difficulties (eight unfavorable conditions for practice) be eliminated, with abundant food and clothing, and true faith in the Three Jewels. After abandoning this retribution body, may all be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, personally see Amitabha (Amitabha), and receive the prediction of Buddhahood. In the future, may we see Maitreya (Maitreya), hear the true Dharma, and practice according to the teachings. Furthermore, may we always encounter kings who promote the Three Jewels in every lifetime and every place, and not be born into families with heretical views. Furthermore, may we be born from lotuses in every lifetime and every place, with noble and superior lineage, peaceful and happy, with natural abundance of food and clothing. Furthermore, may we be compassionate, benevolent, loyal, and filial in every lifetime and every place, equally helping all beings, and not give rise to a single thought of opposition or harm. Furthermore, may we --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: May I, in every lifetime and in every place, always be protected and念 (nian, be mindful of) by all the Buddhas, be able to subdue the hatred of demons and all external paths, and be able to gather in one place with all the Bodhisattvas, so that the Bodhi mind can continue uninterrupted. May I also, in every lifetime and in every place, promote the Buddha Dharma, practice the Mahayana, and manifest countless incarnations to save sentient beings, until I attain the Bodhi 道场 (daochang, place of enlightenment), never to regress. Just as the vows made by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the merits and wisdom they cultivated, and the dedications they made, I too, like them, vow to cultivate merits and dedicate them until the end of the realm of space, the end of the realm of sentient beings, and the end of the karma and afflictions of sentient beings, my practice and dedication will ultimately have no end. Having completed the vow and dedication, I sincerely believe in and pay homage to the eternally abiding Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha).
