敬禮一切諸佛菩薩摩訶薩
Homage to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
佛告阿難：「夫彌勒菩薩摩訶薩，往昔誓行菩提行時，晝夜六時，偏袒右肩、右膝著地，合掌恭敬而發如是願文：
The Buddha said to Ānanda: "In the past, when the great being Maitreya was practicing the path to enlightenment, at all times—whether day or night—he would bare his right shoulder, kneel on his right knee, press his palms together with deep respect, and recite this prayer:
「敬禮一切佛， 及具天眼仙，
菩薩摩訶薩， 并諸聲聞眾。
令避惡趣𡑞， 而示涅槃路，
引入無老死， 敬禮菩提心。
我由無明心， 所作一切罪，
今於佛面前， 懺悔盡無餘。
自我三業門， 所積資糧福，
是我普慧種， 願我道無盡。
十方諸國中， 所有供養佛，
佛昔隨喜者， 我今皆隨喜。
懺悔一切罪， 隨喜諸善根，
敬禮一切佛， 願得大智慧。
十方一切處， 所有大菩薩，
止於十地者， 請速等正覺。
既證圓覺心， 降伏諸魔軍，
為利諸有情， 願請轉法輪。
以大法鼓音， 度眾生苦際，
願經無量劫， 常住世說法。
祈運大悲智， 慈濟諸有情，
陷溺貪欲澤， 恩愛所纏縛。
眾生被障礙， 諸佛不憎捐，
慈悲諸含識， 拔出三有海。
一切三世佛， 所行諸道法，
我今皆隨學， 願證菩提道。
同登六彼岸， 度六道眾生，
證得六神通， 願成無上道。
無生及本源， 無處無自性，
悟此真空理， 無智亦無得。
無命無眾生， 無背無取向，
願達無我法， 即等大仙佛。
願不住二執， 所攝一切物，
為利益眾生， 不悋行布施。
物種侈靡盛， 我應用豐足，
物性等空寂， 圓滿布施度。
所受止作品， 無瑕最清淨，
及無癡矜慢， 圓滿戒律度。
如地水火風， 四大無觸背，
侵犯靡瞋恨， 圓滿忍辱度。
發心始終勤， 恒喜不懈弛，
身心勇猛力， 圓滿精進度。
調伏正定聚， 如幻三摩地，
金剛禪那等， 圓滿靜慮度。
三種解脫門， 三時平等法，
聞思修明了， 圓滿智慧度。
諸佛所稱讚， 熾盛光赫奕，
勤修菩薩行， 圓滿自他志。
行此菩提道， 名稱慈氏子，
圓滿六度行， 超於十地位。」
I pay homage to all Buddhas, And to those with the celestial eye, To Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas, And to all the noble listeners. To lead us from the paths of suffering, And show the way to peace that never ends, To guide us where there is no aging or death, I bow to the awakened heart.
All wrongs I have committed, Driven by a confused mind, Before the Buddhas now, I confess without reserve.
All the virtue I have gathered, Through body, speech, and mind, Is seed for universal wisdom, May my path never end.
In all the lands in every direction, All offerings made to Buddhas, Which the Buddhas have rejoiced in, I now rejoice in them too.
I confess all my faults, Rejoice in all good roots, Pay homage to all Buddhas, And pray for great wisdom.
In all places in every direction, All the great Bodhisattvas, Who dwell upon the ten stages, I pray they soon reach perfect awakening.
Having realized the heart of perfect enlightenment, Vanquishing all armies of delusion, For the benefit of all beings, I pray they turn the wheel of Dharma.
With the great drum sound of Dharma, Taking beings beyond the shores of suffering, May they dwell in the world for countless eons, Always teaching.
I pray they use great compassion and wisdom, To lovingly help all beings, Who drown in the swamp of craving And are bound by the ropes of attachment.
Beings are hindered by obstacles, But the Buddhas do not abandon them; With compassion for all who have consciousness, They pull them from the ocean of existence.
All paths and teachings Followed by Buddhas of past, present, and future, I now follow and learn from, Praying to realize the path of awakening.
Together crossing to the six far shores, Liberating beings from the six realms, Attaining the six superknowledges, Praying to realize the unsurpassed way.
What is unborn and the original source, No location, no self-nature, Realizing this truth of emptiness, No wisdom and no attainment.
No soul, no beings, No turning away, no grasping, May I realize the truth of no-self, And become equal to the great sages.
May I not dwell on two extremes, And everything that I possess, For the benefit of beings, I will give freely without attachment.
Though material things be abundant and luxurious, May my use of them be moderate, Knowing their nature is empty and still, Perfecting the practice of generosity.
All my actions and creations, May they be flawless and pure, Without ignorance, pride, or arrogance, Perfecting the practice of ethical conduct.
Like earth, water, fire, and wind, These four great elements without resistance, When violated I feel no anger, Perfecting the practice of patience.
With diligence from start to finish, Always joyful, never lazy, With strength of body and mind, Perfecting the practice of effort.
Calming the mind in right concentration, Like a magical absorption, The diamond-like meditation, Perfecting the practice of stillness.
The three gates of liberation, The truth equal in past, present, and future, Clear through hearing, reflecting, and cultivating, Perfecting the practice of wisdom.
Praised by all Buddhas, Blazing with brilliant light, Diligently walking the Bodhisattva path, Fulfilling the wishes of self and others.
Walking this path to awakening, Called the child of the Compassionate One, Perfecting the six perfections, Transcending the ten stages.
「我以此善願眾生， 命終速往兜率宮，
受生皆於見法閣， 即為慈氏之長子。
十地自在降閻浮， 證得十力大位時，
願受妙法甘露味， 圓滿佛行盡無餘。
從此命終承願力， 即得上生兜率天，
忻慶奉事慈氏尊， 速得承授菩提記。」
"Through this wholesome act, I pray that all beings, Upon leaving this life, quickly reach the Tusita Heaven. There, reborn in the Dharma-Viewing Hall, May we become the eldest sons of Maitreya.
When he descends to the Jambudvipa world as a freely-roaming Ten-Stage Bodhisattva, And attains the great position of the Ten Powers, May we drink the sweet dew of his wondrous Dharma, Completing the path to Buddhahood without remainder.
From that life’s end, empowered by this vow, We shall ascend to the Tusita Heaven, Joyfully serving the Honored Maitreya, Swiftly receiving the prophecy of enlightenment."
「阿難當知，慈氏菩薩摩訶薩如此以實善巧修淨行業，道路平順而獲無上菩提，成等正覺，成就真實大方便門。」
"Ananda, you should know that the Great Being Maitreya Bodhisattva, through such genuine and skillful cultivation of pure actions, walks a smooth path to attain unsurpassed enlightenment, achieve perfect awakening, and realize the true and great gateway of skillful means."
按：此經於漢藏未見，而番本亦無出。然西國諸賢頗有註解，且普同作為恒常功課，與〈華嚴行願品〉、〈三十五佛行願品〉，稱為三種大懺願。愚略擬之。蓋初自梵文譯時，或于彌勒上生、下生等經節取切要者也(多分唐竺法護所譯《彌勒菩薩下生經》相近)。今時海內清寧，三教並盛，資用不乏，人民向善者多，近來常聞修建龍華會者。憶為或有欲持誦者，因特譯出漢文，便於信氏誦讀仰祈。
Note: This sutra is not found in either Chinese or Tibetan canons, nor does it appear in the Pali scriptures. However, many great masters in the Western tradition have written commentaries on it, and they commonly practice it as a daily devotional, grouping it with the *Samantabhadra’s Aspiration for Good Conduct* and the *Aspiration for the Thirty-Five Buddhas* as the three great repentance prayers. I have briefly compared it. It was likely translated from Sanskrit, drawing essential elements from sutras such as *Maitreya’s Birth* and *Maitreya’s Descent*(Closely related to *Maitreya’s Descent Sutra* translated by Dharmarakṣa of the Tang dynasty). Now, in this peaceful and prosperous time under heaven, the three teachings flourish, resources are abundant, and many people incline toward goodness, with the practice of the Dragon Flower Assembly being increasingly observed. Remembering those who may wish to recite it, I have specially translated it into Chinese, making it convenient for faithful followers to read and pray with devotion.
聖慈加護廣布流通為願焉。
I humbly pray that the sacred compassion may protect and widely spread this teaching.
