English version With heartfelt devotion, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha Buddha of the Western Paradise) of the Western Paradise. Out of compassion, please protect and shelter me, allowing the seeds of Dharma within me to grow, so that in this life and the next, I may always be embraced by the Buddha. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha of the Western Paradise, the great Bodhisattvas Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara) and Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Mahāsthāmaprāpta), and the pure assembly of the great ocean. May I, together with all sentient beings, be reborn in the Land of Bliss. Universally, for teachers, parents, virtuous friends, and all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, may we eradicate the three obstacles (of body, speech, and mind) and together attain rebirth in the Buddha-land of Amitabha. I take refuge and repent. The above two sections on repentance and vows are the same as before. Be sure to take the most important among the important (the highest level of repentance), the moderate among the brief (the middle level of repentance), and the latter among the extensive (the lowest level of repentance). The extensive is aimed at those who truly have the desire to be reborn in the Pure Land. It can be done facing the fourfold assembly, or facing the Buddhas of the ten directions, or facing the assembly of Śarīra (Śarīra) relics and venerable images, or facing one person, or alone. Furthermore, towards the Three Jewels pervading the ten directions and the entire space, as well as the realm of all sentient beings, fully confess and repent. There are three levels of repentance: high, medium, and low. The highest level of repentance is when blood flows from the pores of the body and from the eyes. The middle level of repentance is when hot sweat flows from the pores of the entire body and blood flows from the eyes. The lowest level of repentance is when the entire body is thoroughly hot and tears flow from the eyes. Although these three levels have differences, they are all people who have planted the roots of liberation for a long time, leading them to respect the Dharma, value others, and not spare their lives in this life. Even small sins, if repented, can penetrate the heart and marrow. Those who can repent in this way, regardless of how long or short the time, can instantly eradicate all heavy obstacles. If not, even running around urgently for twelve hours day and night will ultimately be useless. If one cannot shed tears or blood, but can truly and thoroughly achieve sincerity, it is the same as the highest level of repentance. Respectfully informing the Buddhas of the ten directions, the twelve divisions of scriptures, all the sages and saints, and all the beings of the heavenly dragons and eight divisions, the Dharma realm, and the present assembly, please bear witness that I, so-and-so, confess and repent. From beginningless time until now, I have killed all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, and six kinds of relatives. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Family members, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Stealing from all the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Harboring evil thoughts towards all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Using false words to deceive all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Using flowery and frivolous language to tease and mock all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Using harsh words to curse, insult, slander, and defame all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Using divisive speech to sow discord and disrupt all the Three Jewels, teachers, monks, parents, six kinds of relatives, virtuous friends, and sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, their number is unknowable. Or breaking the five precepts, eight precepts, ten precepts, ten wholesome precepts, two hundred and fifty precepts, five hundred precepts, the three clusters of precepts of a Bodhisattva, the ten inexhaustible precepts, and even all precepts and all rules of conduct, doing it oneself, instructing others to do it, seeing others do it and rejoicing in it, their number is unknowable. Such sins are as numerous as the countless dust particles in the boundless earth of the ten directions, and the sins we commit are also boundless and countless. Space is boundless, and the sins we commit are also boundless. The Dharma Realm is boundless, as mentioned above. The Dharma-nature is boundless, as mentioned above. The Buddha is boundless, as mentioned above. Such sins, even the Bodhisattvas above and the Shravakas (hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers) below, cannot fully know. Only the Buddhas can know the extent of my sins. Now, before the Three Jewels and before all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, I confess and repent, daring not to conceal anything. I only wish that the Three Jewels of the ten directions and all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm will accept my repentance and remember my purity. From this day forward, I vow to abandon evil and return to the right path together with all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm, and to generate the Bodhi mind. To treat each other with compassion, and to look at each other with the eyes of the Buddha. To become family members on the path to Bodhi, true virtuous friends. To be reborn together in the land of Amitabha Buddha (Amitabha), and ultimately to attain Buddhahood. May such sins be forever eradicated, and may I never dare to commit them again. Repentance is complete. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in Amitabha Buddha. The repentance ceremony is complete. When entering contemplation or sleep, one should make this vow. Whether sitting or standing, one should join palms together with a focused mind, facing west. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
