English version Ritual for Paying Homage to the Lotus Sutra With one-pointed devotion, I bow to the eternally abiding Three Jewels (Triratna) of the ten directions and realms of reality (bowing, kneeling on one knee, burning incense, visualizing, then joining palms and chanting): May this cloud of incense and flowers pervade the ten directions and realms of reality. Offering to all Buddhas, the 'Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra' (Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra), Bodhisattvas and Śrāvakas (voice-hearers), may they receive and use this offering to accomplish the work of the Buddhas (bow once, rise and praise): I bow my head to the Buddhas of the ten directions, the perfect and supreme vehicle (Buddhayana). Opening the two gates of the fundamental and the manifested, using parables to discuss the true secrets. Universally enabling all expedient and lesser teachings to realize the Bodhi of the Buddhas. Today, I vow to take refuge, wishing to transcend the sea of birth and death. (After praising, freely express sincerity. Although it is said to be paying homage to the Sutra, one should also pay homage to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, so that the meaning of the Three Jewels is complete). With one-pointed devotion, I bow to the original teacher, Śākyamuni Buddha (Sakyamuni Buddha). With one-pointed devotion, I bow to the past Prabhutaratna Buddha (Prabhutaratna Buddha). With one-pointed devotion, I bow to the Śākyamuni Buddhas (Sakyamuni Buddha) who are the emanations in the ten directions. With one-pointed devotion, I bow to all the Buddhas in the 'Lotus Sutra' and in the ten directions and three periods of time. With one-pointed devotion, I bow to the 'Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra' (Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra). The 'Wonderful' character, Dharma Jewel (from here on, each character is chanted and bowed to in this manner). With one-pointed devotion, I bow to all the Bodhisattvas, Śrāvakas (voice-hearers), Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Realizers), enlightened sages, and Sangha (community) in the 'Lotus Sutra' and in the ten directions and three periods of time. With one-pointed devotion, I bow to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva) (after bowing, kneel on one knee, visualize according to the usual ritual). With sincere heart, I repent. I (name) and all sentient beings, from beginningless time, have lost our true minds and transmigrated through birth and death. The karmic obstacles of the six senses are boundless and limitless. The perfect and wonderful Buddha-vehicle cannot be understood. All wishes cannot be realized. Today, I pay homage to the 'Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra' (Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra), using this good root to reveal darkness and evil. May the boundless heavy sins created by the three karmas of the past, present, and future be extinguished, the body and mind purified, and afflictions and obstacles cleared away. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
