I left my compassionate mother to don the black robe, hoping to attain the fruit of enlightenment and widely rescue others. But my afflictions and karmic obstacles are deep, my wisdom and merit shallow. I have not fulfilled the three minds, nor followed the two benefits. I have failed to serve in all ways, and moreover have indulged in debt and consumption. Thus I feel even more shame and pour out my sincere heart again. Because my mother passed into the next world four years ago, I make the four great vows that arise from nature and require no deliberate effort, awakening the shared compassion of good spiritual friends and cultivating the supreme practices for the Pure Land. Fifteen monks, novices, and pure laypeople together upheld: 336 volumes of various sutras, 23,414 mantras, 516,000 Buddha names, and one recitation of the Sutra of Prostrating to One Thousand Buddhas. Their texts are not recorded here. I, Zhixu, now burn nine sticks of incense before the Three Jewels of the ten directions and all good spiritual friends, summoning the nine realms to return together. With this merit, I dedicate it all to my parents and to all relatives from beginningless time, that they may realize the Land of Eternal Light and quickly attain perfect enlightenment. I also vow for the ten great bhikshus present here: may they perfect their conduct, realize the essence of the precepts, abandon false causes, break through worldly views, nourish their wisdom-life, broaden their compassion, stay far from demonic obstacles, be free from emotional attachments, clearly distinguish right from wrong, and be urgent in both precepts and study. For the three shramanas: may they soon restore their precept-body, humble their pride, and dispel wrong views. For the two pure laypeople: may they protect their dignified conduct and stay away from evil companions. Moreover, I vow that all my friends—their parents in this life and their relatives through countless kalpas—may dwell together in the city of the four virtues and enter the land of the two adornments. Furthermore, I vow that I, Zhixu, together with all my friends, will be the aiding assembly. When my friends attain Buddhahood, I will request them to turn the wheel of Dharma, to remain long in the world, and after their parinirvāṇa, I will protect the true Dharma and cause it to shine brightly in the final age. Then, for all beings who have not yet aroused the mind, I will cause them to arouse it; for those who have aroused it, I will cause them to mature; for those who are mature, I will cause them to realize enlightenment. Only when all beings throughout the realm of sentient existence have become Buddhas will I myself enter nirvāṇa. I reverently beseech the Three Jewels to witness and accept this offering.
