Now, having obtained a human body, yet dominated by greed, anger, and ignorance, I have committed these acts myself, taught others to do the same, and rejoiced in what I saw and heard. For these reasons, I will surely fall into the fiery pit in the future. Because of this, I have long endured the three lower realms for countless eons, with no hope of escape. Now, I have finally awakened, baring my heart and confessing openly. I call upon the Buddhas of the ten directions, who possess great compassion and can rescue me and all beings. If my repentance is not sincere and my practice not earnest, it will be difficult to receive their sacred response. Therefore, I vow with utmost sincerity, first by burning three fingers as a pure offering to Shakyamuni Buddha, the original teacher of the Saha world, and to all Buddhas of the ten directions and three times. I vow to swiftly leave the suffering of this world and, throughout the future, extensively rescue all beings, leading them to leave this suffering together. Next, I burn one finger as a pure offering to Amitabha Buddha of the Land of Ultimate Bliss. I vow to swiftly attain the joy of the Western Pure Land and, throughout the future, extensively rescue all beings, leading them to attain this joy together. Though space itself may end, my vow will never cease. I then reverently burn incense on my arm over time, earnestly beseeching Amitabha Buddha to constantly protect and support me. May I, the disciple, never lose my wholesome roots, and may my pure causes continue to grow. At the time of my death, may my body and mind be properly focused, my vision and hearing clear, and may I see Amitabha Buddha face to face, accompanied by Guanyin, Shizhi, and the assembly of bodhisattvas, holding lotus pedestals to welcome me. In a single moment of thought, may I be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss. There, when the lotus opens and I see the Buddha, I will immediately hear the Buddha's vehicle and suddenly awaken to the Buddha's wisdom. Above, may this dedication extend to my parents through countless lifetimes, and to my living mother and father. Below, may it extend to all beings of the four modes of birth in the cosmos—both with and without form. Through this wholesome cause of making vows, may they swiftly reach the Pure Land and all attain liberation. Without limit to my earnest plea, I universally dedicate all merits. Through the cause of this vow, I adorn the Buddha's Pure Land. May I and all beings, Together be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
