English version Having attained the Path: If there are sentient beings who have not entered the Path, I will use various expedient means and miraculous transformations to subdue them, ensuring they attain the Path. If I cannot do this, I will not attain supreme enlightenment (妙觉, Miaojue). I further make this vow: I now enter the mountains, to repent for all the grave sins that obstruct the Path, through walking meditation and Chan (禅) practice. If I can achieve, the five supernatural powers of a celestial being (五通神仙, Wutong shenxian), and the six supernatural powers (六神通, Liu shentong), silently recite the Tathagata's (如来, Rulai) twelve divisions of scriptures, and recite the Tripitaka (三藏, Sanzang), as well as all external texts, understanding the meaning of the Buddha's Dharma, able to transform into countless bodies, flying in the empty sky, surpassing the Akanistha Heaven (色究竟, Sejiujing), reaching the Realm of Neither Perception Nor Non-Perception (非非想, Feifeixiang), listening to the Dharma doors spoken by the devas (诸天, Zhutian), I will also there, proclaim to the devas the Buddhist scriptures I uphold, then return to Jambudvipa (阎浮, Yanfu) to widely proclaim them to people. Then go to the three evil paths, until the edge of the Vajra realm (金刚际, Jingangji), proclaiming the Dharma I uphold, filling the three thousand great thousand worlds, and the ten directions of lands, also like this, making offerings to all Buddhas, and transforming sentient beings, transforming freely, acting simultaneously. If I cannot do this, I will not attain supreme enlightenment. Using the finest sandalwood (栴檀, Zhantan) to make a high seat, adorned with various colors, using the finest seven treasures to make a canopy, adorned with various jewels, emitting light. Using Jambudana gold (阎浮檀金, Yanfutan jin) to write the scriptures, using lapis lazuli and crystal to make the scripture box, revering the Buddhas and the Dharma, making good offerings, then proclaiming the Dharma to transform sentient beings. Without beginning, without end, without middle, acting simultaneously in one thought. I now enter the mountains to learn these, not to delude and deceive sentient beings with illusions. If there are evil people who obstruct me, may they be inauspicious in this life, suffering all kinds of evil retributions, if they do not change their minds, they will harm themselves. After death, they will fall into hell, entering the cauldron of boiling water, the karmic retribution for slandering the Dharma will last for countless kalpas. May they generate Bodhicitta (菩提心, Puti xin), uphold precepts, cultivate goodness, and reach the Bodhimanda (道场, Daocheng). I make this vow for the sake of sentient beings, so that the treasure of the Buddha's Dharma may abide long in the world. Evil people are jealous, causing trouble and disturbance, hindering cultivation, preventing me from practicing. If I can be protected by good people,

English version May the benevolent gods of the heavens assist, So that their Dharma-protecting deities may dwell long in this world, and in the future be reborn in the Pure Land and attain Buddhahood. So that their cultivation of the Way may be swiftly accomplished. I have no duplicity in my heart, and sincerely make this vow, Wishing to enable all sentient beings to understand the principle of karmic retribution. I further make this vow: The Buddhas of the ten directions will naturally know my intention. I now, for the sake of the two parts of the Great Vehicle (Mahāyāna) scriptures, the 'Mahā Prajñā' (Great Wisdom) and the 'Saddharma Puṇḍarīka' (Wonderful Lotus), written in golden characters, Desire to widely expound the Dharma in the ten directions, But because the power of my body, speech, and mind is insufficient, I am unable to be free and at ease, Unable to appear simultaneously in the ten directions, to tame my body and mind, and to transform sentient beings. Therefore, I now enter the mountains, repent of my transgressions, and cultivate meditation, Learning the five supernatural powers of the immortals, seeking to attain the unsurpassed path of Buddhahood. I wish to first attain the five supernatural powers of the immortals, And then learn the sixth supernatural power, Receiving and upholding the twelve divisions of the scriptures of Śākyamuni (the Sage of the Shakya clan), and all the Dharma treasures of the Buddhas of the ten directions, As well as all the treatises of the Bodhisattvas, With unobstructed eloquence, able to universally appear in the ten directions, making offerings to all the Buddhas. In the evil world, I will uphold the Dharma of Śākyamuni, so that it will not be cut off. In the places where the Dharma of the Buddhas of the ten directions is about to be extinguished, I vow to be present in all those places, upholding the Dharma and preventing its extinction. I vow that this land may be complete with the merits of the ten Bhumis (stages of a Bodhisattva's path), That all wisdom may be perfected, and the Buddha-ground attained. Therefore, I will first become a long-lived immortal, Relying on the power of the five supernatural powers, to learn the Bodhisattva path. If I am not an immortal, I will not be able to dwell long in this world. I learn immortality for the sake of the Dharma, not coveting longevity. I vow to use this body, in the future Kalpa of the Worthy Ones, To see Maitreya (the Benevolent One) Buddha. If this is not so, I will not attain unsurpassed enlightenment. Sincerely making this vow, I wish that in the future, at the beginning of the Kalpa of the Worthy Ones, After Maitreya, the World Honored One, has attained Buddhahood, When he expounds the 'Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra' (Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra) for the assembly, I, with the power of the vows I make today, With this ugly form, this humble and small physical body, When I see Maitreya Buddha, By the power of my vows, I will establish a new body, Whose appearance is incomparably majestic, surpassing humans and gods, Possessing immeasurable eloquence and supernatural powers.

English version Transformation Being able to transform at will and freely, to see Maitreya Buddha. With these two bodies, one can see the Buddha simultaneously. By the power of vows, even a humble and ugly body can transform, fully accomplishing unobstructed supernatural powers and various Pāramitās (to the other shore). By the power of the vow to write in gold, in front of Maitreya, two bodies simultaneously manifest transformations, pervading the ten directions, widely expounding profound Dharma, Mahā-prajñā (Great Wisdom), the Six Pāramitās, the Thirty-seven Factors of Enlightenment, and matters of supernatural powers. After liberating sentient beings, suddenly disappearing. May Maitreya Buddha explain to the assembly the causes and conditions of my vows in this life. If this is not done, I vow not to become a Buddha. I further vow: I now bow my head and sincerely repent. From beginningless time until this life, I have created many karmic debts, disturbed others' conditions, obstructed others' cultivation of goodness, and destroyed their good deeds without realizing it. Relying on my lineage, indulging in pleasure in my prime, using power to bully others, not considering reason, believing in evil and wrong views, serving heretical teachers, and repeatedly creating obstacles in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). The accumulated sins for a long time are now being reaped in this life. Therefore, I bow my head and sincerely repent. May all Buddhas in the ten directions, all sages, Brahma, Indra, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Eight Divisions of Gods and Dragons, the Dharma-protecting deities, both visible and invisible, bear witness to me, eliminate the sins that obstruct my path, and purify my body and mind. From now on, may all my actions be auspicious and free from obstacles. May I contemplate the Buddha's path in the deep mountains. May I attain profound samadhi liberations, gain supernatural powers, and repay the kindness of all Buddhas. I vow to attain non-regressing wisdom in this life. If this is not done, I vow not to become a Buddha. I further vow that in all lands of the ten directions, if there are the four assemblies—bhikṣus (male monastics), bhikṣuṇīs (female monastics), and other wise individuals—who uphold, recite, and study the Mahā-prajñā-pāramitā-sūtra.
