　　That they dwell in the world for a long time,

　　To bring benefits and bliss to every being.

　　The good roots gained,

　　from following and rejoicing in merit and virtue

　　and from repentance and reform,

　　I transfer to living beings and the Buddha way.

　　8. I study with the Buddha”s and practice

　　the perfect conduct of Samantabhadra;

　　I make offerings to all the Buddha”s of the past

　　and to all present Buddha”s throughout the ten directions

　　All future "Teachers of Gods and Men"

　　Whose aspirations and vows have been completed,

　　I will follow in study throughout the three periods of time

　　And quickly attain the great Bodhi…

　　I vow that every being in all directions

　　Will be peaceful, happy, and without worry.

　　May they obtain the proper Dharmas profound aid,

　　And may their afflictions be wiped away,

　　Without exception.

　　In my practice striving for Buddhahood,

　　I will gain the knowledge of my past lives

　　In all destinies.

　　I will always leave the home-life and cultivate

　　pure precepts,

　　Without default, never broken, and without stain.

　　Be they Gods, Dragons, Yakshas, or Kumbhandas,

　　Humans, Non-humans, and the rest,

　　In the many languages of all such living beings,

　　With every sound I will speak the Dharma.

　　I will cultivate the pure paramitas with vigor,

　　and never abandon the Bodhi Mind.

　　I will banish all Obstructions and defilement”s,

　　And fulfill all wondrous practices.

　　From all delusions, karma”s, and demon states,

　　amid all worldly paths, I will be freed,

　　As the lotus does not touch the water,

　　As Sun and Moon do not stop in Space.

　　 9. -Ending the sufferings of the paths of evil,

　　And to everyone equally bringing joy,

　　May I for eons like the motes of dust

　　in all the lands

　　ever benefit all in the ten directions

　　Always in accord with living beings,

　　Cultivating through all future eons

　　The vast conduct of Samantrabhardra,

　　The unsurpassed Bodhi will I perfect.

　　I vow always to meet Buddha”s face-to-face

　　And the hosts of disciples who gather around them;

　　I will raise offerings, which are vast and great,

　　Untiring to the end of future eons.

　　I will hold high the subtly wondrous Dharma

　　And illuminate all the practices of Bodhi;

　　I will be ultimately pure in Samantabhadra”s way,

　　Practicing until the end of time.

　　Inexhaustible blessings and wisdom,

　　I cultivate throughout all worlds;

　　By concentration, wisdom, skillful means,

　　and samádhis,

　　I will gain an endless store of merits and virtues.

　　In one mote of dust are lands as numerous as motes of

　　dust;

　　In each land are incalculable numbers of Buddha”s.

　　In every place where Buddha”s dwell I see the host

　　assembled

　　Endlessly proclaiming all the practices of Bodhi.

　　In ten directions everywhere, throughout the sea of

　　lands,

　　Every hair-tip encompasses oceans of past, present and

　　future.

　　So, too, there is a sea of Buddha”s, a sea of Buddha

　　lands;

　　Pervading them all I cultivate for seas of endless time.

　　The speech of all Buddha”s is pure;

　　Each word contains an ocean of sounds.

　　According with what beings like to hear,

　　The Buddha”s” seas of eloquent flows forth…

　　I can penetrate the future

　　And exhausting all eons in a single thought.

　　In a single thought I compress

　　All eons of the three periods of time.

　　In one thought I see all "Lions of Men"

　　Of the past, present, and future;

　　I constantly fathom the Buddha”s” states,

　　Their magical samádhis and their awesome strength.

　　On the tip of an extremely fine hair,

　　Appears jeweled lands of past, present and future;

　　Lands on hair-tips as numerous as dust motes in all

　　lands of the ten directions,

　　I deeply enter, adorn, and purify …

　　The seas of lands I everywhere adorn and purify,

　　And I liberate all living beings, without exceptions.

　　With skill I make selections from among the seas of
