I, monk ([name]), sincerely make this vow. May I, together with all who cultivate pure practice, dedicate all wholesome roots produced by the three actions—body, speech, and mind—to adorn this pure vow. May blessings and wisdom manifest before us. May we be received with compassion by the World-Honored One Amitabha, Guanyin, and Shizhi; may they appear before us and emit pure radiance that touches and illuminates us, so that all our faculties become calm and still, the three obstructions are eliminated, and we delight in cultivating pure practice. May body and mind be refreshed and nourished, and may we never lose, moment by moment, the wholesome roots for the Pure Land. And in our dreams may we constantly see that land, with its countless wonderful adornments, comforting and delighting our minds and inspiring diligence. May we know in advance when the end of life approaches; may all obstacles be completely removed; may our wisdom and mindfulness grow brighter; may the body be free of illness and suffering; may the mind be free from confusion; and may we meet Amitabha face to face, together with all his attendants, rejoicing and happy. In a single instant, may we attain rebirth in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. Having arrived there, may we see for ourselves that we are born within a lotus flower and receive the Buddha's prediction of our future Enlightenment. Having received that prediction, may we freely manifest transformed bodies throughout lands as numerous as fine dust and, according with sentient beings, act for their benefit. May we enable sentient beings as numerous as the dust-motes of Buddha-lands to arouse the mind of Enlightenment, be freed from suffering together, and all be reborn in Amitabha Buddha's Land of Ultimate Bliss. May such vows and practices appear before us moment by moment, and continue unbroken through all future time. May our actions of body, speech, and mind always perform the Buddha's work. (Having made the vow, we take refuge in and pay homage to Amitabha Buddha and all the Three Jewels. For the main practice of vowing rebirth, one must complete three repetitions. This differs from the preceding four repentances; one should know that expansion and abbreviation may be applied according to circumstances.)
