English version Tiny Dust: Not hesitating to sacrifice body and wealth to seek the wonderful Dharma, vowing with compassion to deliver all sentient beings, universally exhorting everyone to return to the Western Pure Land (Xi An Yang Guo), where they can freely and joyfully attain the Three Clear Knowledges (threefold wisdom). The assembly, each and every one, pours out their heart and mind, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings. The High-to-Low Praise chants: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. The assembly wholeheartedly generates a thirst and yearning, reverently prostrating and delighting in hearing the scriptures. What the sages value most is life itself; (Bodhisattvas) do not covet the throne, sacrificing a thousand heads, with seven-inch long needles piercing the entire body, resolving for the sake of beings, without generating sorrow. Taking their own skin to write verses of scripture, universally hoping that beings enter the stream of Dharma. A thousand lamps burn, flowing with blood from the body, the gods weep and scatter flowers. Zhou feels the pain in the Great Being's body and mind, smiling slightly, vowing not to generate anger. Hoping that everyone together hears the Dharma, together cuts off evil deeds, a rare opportunity, vowing to be focused. Moment by moment, turning the heart towards the Pure Land, spending one's life entering that gate of Nirvana. Each and every one pours out their heart and mind, without other thoughts, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings.' The Low-to-High Praise chants: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. For countless eons, dwelling in the cycle of birth and death, the Three Evil Paths (San Tu) constantly submerged, all kinds of suffering experienced. Now beginning to obtain a human body, hearing the true Dharma, like a thirsty person obtaining clear spring water. Moment by moment, thinking of hearing the teachings of the Pure Land, word by word, phrase by phrase, vowing to be diligent. Recalling the suffering of wandering for a long time, wholeheartedly listening to the Dharma, entering the gate of truth. The Pure Land has no birth and no distinction, ultimately liberated, obtaining a diamond body. Because of this cause and condition, inviting the Dharma Master to ascend the high seat, repaying the Buddha's compassionate grace, turning the Dharma wheel. The assembly's body and mind are all joyful and elated, holding incense and flowers, constantly making offerings.' The High-to-Low Praise chants, the Low-to-High Praise chants: 'May we be reborn, may we be reborn. Sentient beings see the Buddha, their hearts awaken, vowing to be reborn together in the family of all Buddhas. Dwelling in this Saha world (Saha) for a long time, uselessly sacrificing lives, like countless grains of sand in a kalpa. Consciously feeling the heart is stubborn, the spirit is dull, truly because in hell, lying on a copper chariot. The copper chariot burns, difficult to dwell in, in a single thought experiencing hundreds and thousands of deaths. Not only is there much suffering here, but all hells are also like this. Once entering hell, one must pass through kalpas like grains of sand, the animal and hungry ghost realms are also like this. Now obtaining a human body, yet greedily creating sins, generating slander towards the holy teachings of all Buddhas. Slandering the holy teachings, the roots of sin are deep, defaming good people.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Suffering is constant and profound. Even the Great Sage (referring to a great saint, usually a Buddha or Bodhisattva), though possessing supernatural powers, cannot offer salvation, only increasing compassion. Now, I urge everyone in this sacred place to openly repent for their boundless sins. Let us all aspire to that Pure Land with one heart, holding incense and flowers, offering constant worship. (The one on the high seat waits for the voices from below to cease before beginning the repentance) Respectfully reporting. All of you in this sacred place, now for the sake of donor so-and-so and all sentient beings, we take refuge in the Buddhas of the ten directions, the Dragon Palace Dharma Treasury, the true form of relics, Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, Pratyekabuddhas, Sravakas, and others. We beseech the holy assembly present in this sacred place to witness our repentance. Also reporting to: Yama, the King of the Underworld in the Heavenly Court and Earthly Palace, the Thirty-six Kings of the Five Paths and Mount Tai, the wardens of hell, the heavenly deities, the earth deities, the deities of the void, mountains, forests, rivers, and seas, all spirits, and all virtuous sages. Each of you possesses the divine eye, the eye of the Tao, telepathy, knowledge of past lives, and the wisdom of the extinction of outflows. Now, in this sacred place, witness the open-hearted repentance of the disciples, today's donor so-and-so, and all sentient beings. We, the disciples in this sacred place, so many people inside and outside, from the past, extending to the past, present, and future, the karma created by body, speech, and mind, in walking, standing, sitting, and lying down, towards all the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, good advisors, and sentient beings in the Dharma realm, have committed all kinds of evil, constantly arising all kinds of evil, continuously arising all kinds of evil, using various means to arise all kinds of evil, leading to karmic obstacles, retribution obstacles, affliction obstacles, and other obstacles, the obstacles of birth and death, the obstacles of not being able to see and hear the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. We, the disciples, from beginningless kalpas until today, during this time have committed such sins, delighting in doing them, doing them in great quantities, immeasurably and boundlessly, capable of causing us to fall into hell, with no hope of escape. Therefore, the scriptures say: Avici Hell, the eighteen cold ice hells, the eighteen dark hells, the eighteen small hot hells, the eighteen wheel of knives hells, the eighteen wheel of swords hells, the eighteen fire cart hells, the eighteen boiling excrement hells, the eighteen cauldron hells, the eighteen ash river hells, five hundred billion knife forest hells, five hundred billion sword forest hells, five hundred billion thorn forest hells, five hundred billion copper pillar hells, five hundred billion iron mortar hells, five hundred billion iron net hells, eighteen --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
