English version 'He (阂)': Until the endless future, performing Buddha deeds, universally perfuming the entire Dharma realm. All sentient beings, influenced by this perfuming, generate Bodhicitta (the aspiration for enlightenment), and together enter the realm of non-birth and non-death, attaining the wisdom of the Buddha. Inviting the Buddha: 'The nature of my three karmas (body, speech, and mind) is like space. Shakyamuni (Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism) is also like this. Not arising from true reality, for the sake of sentient beings, coming together with the assembly to receive offerings.' Next, inviting Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: (Only changing the name of Shakyamuni and the source of the form). Five Praises of the Buddha: (Before the verses, contemplate each one separately. Imagine yourself standing before the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha). Then, recite the verses aloud, visualizing along with the sound. My body and mind are originally without birth or death, so even though I praise, it is like a shadow and an echo). Six Prostrations to the Buddha: (When chanting 'One Mind,' first prostrate with utmost sincerity, this is 'One Mind in Action.' Next, contemplate the subject who prostrates and the object being prostrated to, this is 'One Mind in Principle.' One should contemplate: 'The subject who prostrates and the object being prostrated to, their nature is empty and still, the interaction of response and path is inconceivable. This Bodhimanda (place of enlightenment) is like Indra's jewel, the image of Shakyamuni appears within it. My image appears before the Tathagata (Tathagata, title of a Buddha), head and face touching the feet, taking refuge and paying homage.' Prabhutaratna Buddha (Prabhutaratna Buddha, name of a past Buddha): (The image of Prabhutaratna Buddha appears within it, my image appears before Prabhutaratna Buddha, the rest of the contemplation is the same as above). Emanations: (The emanation Buddhas also have the same contemplation as above). Eastern Buddhas: (The images of the Eastern Buddhas appear within it, my image appears before all the Buddhas, and so on for each of the ten directions). Buddhas of the Three Times: (And so on for the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, all have the same contemplation as above). Sarira (Sarira, relics of the Buddha after cremation) Images, etc.: (The Dharmakaya (Dharma body) of the Buddhas is like space, the manifested deeds abide in the world, difficult to conceive. My image appears before the manifested deeds, each and every one taking refuge and paying homage). Wonderful Dharma: (The true empty Dharma realm is like space, the eternally abiding Dharma Jewel, difficult to conceive. My image appears before the Dharma Jewel, without exception taking refuge and paying homage). All Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, one who aspires to become a Buddha): (The image of each Bodhisattva appears within it, and so on for the lower directions as well). Sariputra (Sariputra, one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha), etc.: (First contemplate that the Sravakas (Sravaka, one who attains enlightenment by hearing the Dharma) are all originally Buddhas, now starting from the beginning to explain, therefore they are called Sravakas). Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, symbolizing the vows and practices of a Bodhisattva): (In order to eliminate karmic obstacles, prostrating and touching the feet, the rest is the same as above). Universally for: (Myself and sentient beings, from beginningless time, have always been obstructed by the heavy sins of the three karmas (body, speech, and mind) and the six senses, unable to see the Buddhas, not knowing the essential path to liberation, only following the cycle of birth and death, not knowing the wonderful principle. Although I know now, I am still obstructed by all the heavy sins together with all sentient beings). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Now, before Samantabhadra (Universal Worthy Bodhisattva) and all the Buddhas of the ten directions, I take refuge and repent on behalf of all sentient beings, only wishing to receive blessings so that karmic obstacles may be eliminated. (Seven, repentance should employ the ten minds in direct and reverse order, namely: I and all sentient beings, from beginningless time, due to love and wrong views, inwardly calculating self and others, outwardly not rejoicing in even a hair's breadth of goodness in others, but extensively creating all kinds of sins through the three karmas of body, speech, and mind. Although not many deeds are done, evil thoughts pervade, continuing day and night without interruption. Concealing faults, not wanting others to know, not fearing evil paths, without shame or remorse. Denying cause and effect. Therefore, today, before all the Buddhas of the ten directions and Great Master Samantabhadra, I deeply believe in cause and effect, giving rise to deep shame, giving rise to great fear, revealing repentance, cutting off the continuous stream of evil thoughts, generating Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment), cutting off evil deeds, cultivating good deeds, diligently encouraging the three karmas, reversing the serious mistakes of the past, rejoicing in even a hair's breadth of goodness in ordinary people and sages. Reciting that the Buddhas of the ten directions possess vast merit and wisdom, capable of rescuing me and all sentient beings from the sea of two deaths (death by segments and death by transformation), placing us on the shore of the three virtues (Dharmakaya virtue, Prajna virtue, and liberation virtue). From beginningless time, because of not knowing that the nature of all dharmas is empty and still, extensively creating all kinds of sins. Now knowing that all dharmas are empty and still, for the sake of seeking Bodhi, for the sake of sentient beings, extensively cultivating all kinds of good deeds, universally cutting off all kinds of evil deeds. Only wishing that Samantabhadra Bodhisattva compassionately accepts.) Secondly, repent the six roots (the content of the scriptures must be slightly understood. The meaning of the scriptures is contained in the ten mind aspects in direct and reverse order, even if there are omissions, in the four repentances, the unclear understanding of Bodhi, etc., this is horizontally calculating self and others. Vairocana (The Illuminator) is observing the emptiness of the nature of sin. All World-Honored Ones are reciting the Buddhas of the ten directions. The latter four repentances include generating a mind of rejoicing. Because of this cause, it makes the final purity, this is cutting off the continuous stream of evil thoughts, returning to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and all World-Honored Ones, this is generating Bodhicitta for the sake of sentient beings. Each repentance text has the three karmas of body, speech, and mind, this is cultivating merit to make up for faults, etc., this is revealing faults. Should fall into evil paths, giving rise to great fear, etc., this is fearing evil paths and giving rise to shame, believing in cause and effect, etc. Whenever reciting the words of repentance, you must add the thought of events, breaking the mind of love, until observing the emptiness of the nature of sin, comprehensively contemplating events and principles, repenting of wrong views. If you want to be more concise, the three roots of eye, ear, and nose can also be used sometimes. If the three roots of tongue, body, and mind are karma, so they cannot be completely omitted. Even if the previous three roots are omitted, they should not lose the main meaning of the ten minds in direct and reverse order.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
