English

De (virtue). Furthermore, one should invite all the Bodhisattvas, such as Samantabhadra (Puxian, meaning universal goodness), Manjushri (Wenshu, meaning wonderful auspiciousness), Avalokiteshvara (Guanyin, meaning perceiving the sounds of the world), Mahasthamaprapta (Shizhi, meaning great strength), and others. May the Bodhisattvas not abandon their compassion and fulfill the wishes of all beings, entering this mandala to attest to the merit. The reason for taking refuge in and inviting these Bodhisattvas is that from their initial aspiration until they attain Bodhi, they constantly practice equality, receiving and guiding beings without partiality, benefiting themselves and others without a moment's rest. They constantly use the Dharma sound to awaken the world, their light universally illuminating countless Buddha lands, causing six kinds of tremors in all worlds, encompassing the realm of Mara, shaking the palaces of Mara, tearing apart the nets of heresy, eliminating all wrong views, scattering all worldly toils, destroying the ramparts of desires, opening and elucidating the Dharma gate, revealing the pure and bright light of the Buddha Dharma, propagating the correct teachings, constantly performing undefiled actions of body, speech, and mind, constantly practicing non-retreating conduct of body, speech, and mind, constantly practicing immovable actions of body, speech, and mind, constantly practicing praising actions of body, speech, and mind, constantly practicing pure actions of body, speech, and mind, constantly practicing actions of body, speech, and mind that are free from affliction, constantly practicing wise actions of body, speech, and mind, awakening and accomplishing, accomplishing both Samatha and Vipassana. These Bodhisattvas are constantly protected, revered, and offered to by devas, nagas, the eight classes of beings, human kings, Brahma kings, and others. All beings regard them as their salvation, their refuge, their light, their honor, their victory, their supreme. They possess immeasurable practices and vows, greatly benefiting, securing devas and humans, benefiting all. They roam the ten directions, employing skillful means, entering the treasury of the Buddha Dharma, ultimately reaching the other shore. Their wisdom is sacred and bright, inconceivable, turning the wheel of the Dharma, accomplishing the Tathagata's omniscience, attaining mastery over all dharmas. Such Bodhisattva Mahasattvas are countless. May the Bodhisattvas not abandon their compassion, accept the invitation of beings, gather at this mandala at this time, and attest to the merit of the donor, so-and-so. Now, I urge everyone in the mandala to collect their minds, take refuge in the Dharma, and join their palms in reverence. The following is a loud praise: Wishing for rebirth, wishing for rebirth. All of you hope to hear the Buddhas' Dharma. The eighty-four thousand Dharma treasures in the Dragon Palace have already emitted divine light into the mandala, attesting to the merit and fulfilling wishes, thereby escaping suffering and seeing Amitabha Buddha. All sentient beings in the Dharma realm can also eliminate karmic obstacles. Our bodies and minds are all joyful, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings. Loudly continue with the following praise: Wishing for rebirth, wishing for rebirth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Born. The sutra collection in the Dragon Palace is like the sands of the Ganges (an analogy for an extremely large number). The Buddhadharma of the ten directions surpasses even that. I now focus my mind and universally invite, releasing great divine light into the Bodhimanda (place of enlightenment), to attest to merit and eliminate sins, and to increase the Bodhi (enlightenment) sprouts of the donors. The assembly each recites with one heart, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings. Following, the high praise chants: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. Today's Bodhimanda is rare to encounter, and the unsurpassed Buddhadharma is also difficult to hear. Exhausting our lives, our forms wither, cutting off all evils. From this, thought after thought, sins are eliminated, and the six senses are awakened. The vows of precepts, samadhi (meditation), and compassion will not be in vain. The assembly's bodies and minds are all joyful, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings.' The high praise connects to the lower praise: The lower praise connects to the high praise: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. Dwelling long in the Saha world (the world of suffering and imperfection), we are constantly submerged, and the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) and four destinies (hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras) all cease. Covered in fur and wearing horns (referring to rebirth as animals), we endure all kinds of suffering, never having heard or seen the names of the sages. Recalling these tiring long kalpas (eons), we vow to give up our lives to see Amitabha (the Buddha of the Western Pure Land). The assembly's bodies and minds are all joyful, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings.' The high praise connects to the lower praise: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. The assembly all takes refuge, now for the donors and sentient beings, we have invited the whole-body sarira (relics of the Buddha) and shattered-body vajra (indestructible substance) of the ten directions' Dharma realm. According to the benefit of the objects, forms are divided and respond. Even though the forms are large or small, the divine transformations are all the same. The large are like mountains, the small are like mustard seeds. Exhausting our lives, sincerely and with one heart, we make offerings. Near, humans and devas (gods) obtain blessings, and wealth and happiness accompany them for long kalpas. Far, the Pure Land (Amitabha's Pure Land) has no birth or death, and the result is the constant bliss of Nirvana (the ultimate state of liberation). Furthermore, may the assembly in the Bodhimanda, each with one heart, hold incense and flowers, constantly make offerings.' Following, the high praise chants: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. The true-body sarira, according to size, seeing and hearing, joyfully cultivate offerings. Our own good roots and the blessings of others, all combined, we dedicate (transfer merit to others or a specific goal). Day and night, diligently and without retreating, with focused mind, we are determined to see Amitabha. The assembly's bodies and minds are all joyful, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings.' The high praise connects to the lower praise: The lower praise connects to the high praise: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
