English version Fifth, in order to rescue all suffering beings with compassion, receiving the Bodhisattva's Three Clusters of Pure Precepts also has three aspects: first, the Precepts of Restraining the Vinaya, vowing to cut off all evil; second, the Precepts of Gathering Good Dharmas, vowing to cultivate all good; third, the Precepts of Benefiting Sentient Beings, rescuing all sentient beings until the future without rest. Sixth, cultivating the practice of abandoning faults also has three aspects: first, taming afflictions, abandoning greed, hatred, and wrong views; second, stopping all unwholesome actions, abandoning the ten evil paths such as killing; third, for the Bodhisattva's ten major and forty-eight minor precepts, protecting each one, not allowing any violations, and if there are violations, immediately repenting and restoring purity. Seventh, cultivating good deeds also has three aspects: first, making daily offerings to the Triple Gem (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), praising with body, speech, and mind; second, cultivating all practices, the Six Perfections (Dāna, Śīla, Kṣānti, Vīrya, Dhyāna, Prajñā), and even all the Paramitas (methods of reaching the other shore), without ever being satisfied; third, with this root of goodness, vowing to dedicate it universally with all beings to aspire to Great Bodhi (Enlightenment). Eighth, cultivating the practice of patience also has three aspects: first, generating loving-kindness in the heart, and if foolish beings are ungrateful, infringe upon, or annoy, ultimately not becoming angry; second, seeing the faults of anger, as the sutras say, anger is like a raging fire, burning all roots of goodness, and generating one thought of anger will form hundreds of obstacles, and there is no evil greater than this among all evils; third, seeing the benefits of patience, as the sutras say, if one can be patient, one can be called a powerful great person, which holding precepts and ascetic practices cannot match. Ninth, the practice of rescuing and gathering sentient beings also has three aspects: first, relieving their present suffering, even to death, one should first rescue them; second, further benefiting them with the Buddha's Dharma, so that they may avoid the suffering of the three evil paths (hell, hungry ghosts, animals) in the future; third, transforming them to cultivate the Bodhisattva path, and it is necessary to achieve the Most Perfect Enlightenment (Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi) before me. Tenth, cultivating the practice of equality also has three aspects: first, treating all sentient beings to be rescued equally, without distinguishing between enemies and relatives, and without seeking repayment; second, not seeing oneself and others, no person, no ability, no place, ultimately equal; third, arousing unconditioned great compassion, and transforming sentient beings with non-conceptual great wisdom, widely cultivating all practices, until the future without rest.
