English version: Then, washing away the defilements of karma and eliminating the sins that obstruct the path to enlightenment, awakening them and causing them to generate the Bodhi-mind (the mind of enlightenment). If there is someone whose four elements (earth, water, fire, and wind) are imbalanced, suffering from illness, if they can recite this Dharani (mantra), I (referring to the Buddha) will go to that person's place with the Eight Classes of Gods and Spirits and the Four Heavenly Kings, and immediately bestow upon them the Agada medicine (panacea) and the Cintamani Jewel (wish-fulfilling jewel), so that they lack nothing. These men and women, by my divine power and the power of the Dharani, will turn to diligence and immediately obtain great rewards. Furthermore, the Buddha said in the *Secret Eight Names Dharani Sutra* that if someone upholds and recites this sutra, after their life ends, they will be reborn in the Tushita Heaven (one of the heavens in the Desire Realm, where Maitreya Bodhisattva resides). *Treatise on Upholding the Earth* The Bodhisattva speaks of ten great vows: First, to vow to offer in every way to immeasurable Buddhas; second, to vow to protect and uphold the correct Dharma of all Buddhas; third, to vow to understand thoroughly the correct Dharma of all Buddhas; fourth, to vow to be born in the Tushita Heaven (one of the heavens in the Desire Realm, where Maitreya Bodhisattva resides), and eventually attain Parinirvana (final liberation); fifth, to vow to practice all kinds of correct practices of a Bodhisattva; sixth, to vow to mature all sentient beings; seventh, to vow to be able to manifest transformations in all worlds; eighth, to vow that all Bodhisattvas, with one mind and skillful means, liberate beings with the Mahayana (Great Vehicle); ninth, to vow that all correct practices and skillful means are without obstruction; tenth, to vow to attain Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). *Treatise on Arousing the Bodhi-Mind* The Bodhisattva has ten great vows, which are constantly practiced: First, to vow that the roots of goodness I have planted in past lives and in this life be given to all sentient beings, dedicating them to the path of Buddhahood, so that this vow of mine increases in every thought, and in every life I am born, I never forget it, and am always protected by the Dharani (mantra); second, to vow that with these roots of goodness, in the place where I am born, I encounter the Buddha, and am always able to make offerings, and am not born in a country without a Buddha; third, to vow that I am close to all Buddhas, attending to their left and right, like a shadow following a form; fourth, to vow that since I have gained closeness, the Buddha will teach me the Dharma, and I will attain the Five Supernatural Powers (divine eye, divine ear, knowledge of others' minds, knowledge of past lives, and divine feet); fifth, to vow that I understand the conventional truth (mundane truth) of the proliferation of provisional names, understand the ultimate truth (highest truth), and obtain the wisdom of the correct Dharma; sixth, to vow that with a mind without weariness, I will explain and teach sentient beings, bringing them benefit and joy, so that they can all awaken and understand; seventh, to vow that with the Buddha's divine power, I will reach all the ten directions and all --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The world. Offering to all Buddhas. Listening to the true Dharma. Broadly gathering sentient beings. Eighth, I vow to follow the pure Dharma wheel. All sentient beings who hear my Dharma, who hear my name, will immediately be able to abandon all afflictions. Ninth, I vow to follow sentient beings, protecting and giving them joy, sacrificing my life and wealth, bearing the burden of the true Dharma, and eliminating what is not beneficial. Tenth, I vow that although I practice the true Dharma, my mind is without any practice, yet there is also nothing that I do not practice. For the sake of transforming sentient beings, I will not abandon my original vows. I vow to use these ten great vows to pervade all realms of sentient beings, gathering and receiving all vows as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River. If the realm of sentient beings can be exhausted, then my vows will be exhausted. However, the realm of sentient beings cannot be exhausted, therefore my great vows also cannot be exhausted. Broadly liberating sentient beings in the boundless Dharma realm, all the roots of goodness cultivated will be dedicated to unsurpassed perfect enlightenment, to be born before Maitreya Buddha, to hear the pure Dharma, and to awaken to the forbearance of non-birth. Whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, all the roots of goodness cultivated since this life, together with all sentient beings in the Dharma realm, are dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, to quickly achieve non-retrogression (the methods of cultivating mindfulness, contemplation, and practice, the methods of seeing the Buddha, and the deeds of Maitreya, etc., are fully explained in the ten volumes of the Chan School. Here, a brief excerpt is given to show those who wish to be born in the higher realms). Verses of Praise and Fourfold Prostration to Maitreya Buddha (translated by Dharma Master Xuanzang based on the sutras) With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in the future Maitreya Buddha. All Buddhas jointly realize the unconditioned essence. The true suchness principle is inherently without cause. To entice the heavens, he manifests in Tushita Heaven. It is like a magician producing various forms. Originally there are no people or horses, but they are mistakenly taken as real. Those who are enlightened know that the illusion has never been real. The Buddha's body is originally pure and is all like this. Foolish people do not understand and consider it the same as ordinary beings. Knowing that the Buddha does not come is seeing the true Buddha. Here, one will surely obtain eternal joy. Therefore, I prostrate to Maitreya Buddha. I only wish that the compassionate one will liberate sentient beings. I vow to be born together with all sentient beings in Tushita Heaven to pay homage to Maitreya Buddha. With utmost sincerity, I take refuge in the future Maitreya Buddha. The Buddha has inconceivable power of freedom. He can contain many lands within a mote of dust. How much more so now that he is present in Tushita Palace, sitting in the lotus position on a lion throne. His body is like sandalwood gold, unparalleled. His marks and characteristics are adorned with precious colors, shining with light. All the bodhisattvas with supernatural powers are --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

无量。助佛扬化救含灵。众生但能至心礼。无始罪业定不生。故我顶礼弥勒佛。惟愿慈尊度有情。愿共诸众生。上生兜率天。奉见弥勒佛。 至心归命礼。当来弥勒佛。慈尊宝冠多化佛。其量超过数百千。此土他方菩萨会。广现神变宝牕中。佛身白毫光八万。恒说不退法轮因。众生但能修福业。屈伸臂项值慈尊。恒沙诸佛由斯现。况我本师释迦文。故我顶礼弥勒佛。唯愿慈尊度有情。愿共诸众生。上生兜率天。奉见弥勒佛。 至志归命礼。当来弥勒佛。诸佛恒居清净刹。受用报体量无穷。凡夫肉眼未曾识。为现千尺一金躯。众生视之无厌足。令知业果现阎浮。但能听经勤诵法。逍遥定往兜率宫。三涂于兹必永绝。将来同证一法身。故我顶礼弥勒佛。唯愿慈尊度有情。愿共诸众生。上生兜率天。奉见弥勒佛。 论曰。夫期适千里。必假舟车乃济。冀升彼岸。非藉行愿莫登。良以凡夫惑习障重。胜行难成。须求大圣冥应加被。初机进步未牢。善根易退。唯以大愿互相辅翼。故大庄严论云。佛国事大。独力功德。不能成就。要须弘誓。如牛虽能挽车。全凭御者。能有所至。净佛国土。由愿引成。以愿力故。福德增长。不失不坏。常见佛故。是以大论云。有人修少福业。闻有福处。常愿往生。以斯福业。乃 现代汉语译本 无量。祈愿佛陀弘扬教化,救度一切众生。众生只要能至诚礼拜,无始以来的罪业必定不会产生。所以我顶礼弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha),惟愿慈悲的佛陀救度一切有情众生。愿与所有众生,一同往生兜率天(Tushita Heaven),奉见弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha)。 至心归命礼。当来下生的弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha)。慈悲的佛陀宝冠上有无数化佛,其数量超过成百上千。此土他方的菩萨们,广现神通变化于宝牕之中。佛身白毫光芒有八万四千道,恒常宣说不退转法轮的因缘。众生只要能修习福德善业,即使短暂屈伸臂膀也能值遇慈尊。无数诸佛因此显现,更何况是我的本师释迦牟尼佛(Sakyamuni Buddha)。所以我顶礼弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha),惟愿慈悲的佛陀救度一切有情众生。愿与所有众生,一同往生兜率天(Tushita Heaven),奉见弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha)。 至诚恳切地归命礼。当来下生的弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha)。诸佛恒常居住在清净的刹土,所受用的报身广大无边。凡夫肉眼无法识别,所以显现千尺高的金色身躯。众生观视而无厌倦,令众生知晓业果显现在阎浮提(Jambudvipa)。只要能听闻佛经,勤奋诵读佛法,就能逍遥自在地往生兜率宫(Tushita Palace)。三恶道从此必定永远断绝,将来一同证得统一的法身。所以我顶礼弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha),惟愿慈悲的佛陀救度一切有情众生。愿与所有众生,一同往生兜率天(Tushita Heaven),奉见弥勒佛(Maitreya Buddha)。 论中说,想要到达千里之外的地方,必须借助船只车辆才能成功。希望能够登上彼岸,不凭借修行和愿力就无法到达。这是因为凡夫的迷惑习气深重,殊胜的修行难以成就,必须祈求大圣的冥冥加持。初学者的进步还不牢固,善根容易退失,只有用宏大的愿力互相辅助。所以《大庄严论》中说,佛国的事情重大,单凭个人的功德,不能成就,必须要依靠弘大的誓愿。如同牛虽然能拉车,完全依靠驾车的人,才能到达目的地。清净佛土,由愿力引导而成。因为有愿力的缘故,福德增长,不会遗失不会损坏,能够常见佛。因此《大论》中说,有人修习少量福业,听到有福德的地方,常常发愿往生,凭借这些福业,就能够往生。
