### 九華地藏塔前願文丙子三月

> Vows Before the Jiuhua Ksitigarbha Stupa<note place="inline">Third Month, Bingzi Year</note>

稽首慈悲大願王，本源心地如來藏。善安慰說真救世，現聲聞相護法者。願承本誓度眾生，鑒我微忱垂加護。

> I bow to the Great King of Compassionate Vows, Whose mind-ground is the Tathagatagarbha, the source of all. Skilled in comforting words, a true savior of the world, Appearing as a hearer to protect the Dharma. May you fulfill your original vow to liberate all beings, And watch over me with your compassionate grace.

智旭夙造深殃，丁茲末世，雖受戒品，輕犯多端；雖習禪思，粗惑不斷；讀誦大乘，僅開義解；稱念名號，未入三摩。外睹魔黨縱橫，痛心疾首；內見煩惱紛動，愧地慚天。復由惡業，備受病苦，痛娑婆之弊惡，歎沈溺之無端。由是扶病入山，求哀大士，矢菩提於永劫，付身命於浮雲。臂香六炷，三炷供忉利勝會，化身無數，大集勝會，現聲聞相，六根聚會，善巧說法，地藏菩薩摩訶薩。一炷悔三業重失，生來殺業婬機，謗三寶罪，口過惡念，乃至舊歲染疾後，種種不盡如法，如是等願盡消除。一炷為求四願，律儀清淨，斷惑證真，長康無病，廣作福事。一炷為決疑網，若先禮懺，求淨律儀；若先習禪，斷除煩惑；若先閱藏，以開慧解；若先立行，以廣福緣。唯願救世真士，大智開士，一切知見者，於諸眾生得不忘念者，必垂哀鑒，開我迷雲。我復於大慈悲父前，瀝血銘心，作如是願：如一眾生未成佛，終不先自取泥洹。儻夙業因緣，牽入惡道，願菩薩弘慈，常覺悟我，使我念念憶菩提心，令菩提心相續不斷。若夙障稍輕，願大士威神，令我早成念佛三昧，決生阿彌陀佛世界，乘本願力，無邊剎海，化度有情，盡未來際，無有疲厭。

> I, Zhi-xu, have accumulated deep transgressions from past lives and have been born into this degenerate age. Although I received the precepts, I have frequently committed minor violations. Though I have practiced Chan meditation, my coarse afflictions remain unsevered. In reciting and studying the Mahayana scriptures, I have gained only an intellectual understanding. While calling upon the Buddha's name, I have not yet entered samadhi. Watching the rampant demonic forces outside pains my heart and makes my head throb; seeing my inner afflictions stirring, I feel shame before heaven and earth. Further burdened by my evil karma, I have endured severe illness and suffering, lamenting the depravity of this Saha world and sighing at the endless cycle of drowning in it. Thus, taking my illness with me, I entered the mountains, beseeching the Great Being (Guanyin). I vow to seek enlightenment for all eternity, entrusting my body and life as though they were drifting clouds. I lit six incense offerings: three were offered to the magnificent assembly in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, where countless transformation bodies appear in the form of śrāvakas, skillfully teaching the Dharma. One incense was offered to the Earth Store Bodhisattva Mahāsattva. One incense was for repenting the three karmic transgressions—the offenses killing and lust committed since birth, the sin of slandering the Triple Gem, verbal faults and evil thoughts, and various improprieties that arose after I fell ill last year. I vow that all such transgressions may be entirely eradicated. One incense was to seek four wishes: that my discipline be purified, that afflictions be severed and truth realized, that I enjoy lasting health free from illness, and that I perform abundant meritorious deeds. One incense was to resolve my web of doubts: should I first engage in repentance and seek pure discipline? Or should I first practice Chan to cut through delusion? Or should I first read the scriptures to develop wisdom? Or should I first engage in practice to cultivate merit? I only beseech the truly liberating World-Honored One, the great wisdom-revealing Guide, the All-Knowing One who never forgets sentient beings—may you compassionately behold me and dispel my clouds of confusion. Again, before the Great Compassionate Father, I pour out my heart and make this vow: Unless every single sentient being has attained Buddhahood, I will never seek nirvana for myself. If, through the force of past karma, I am pulled into the evil realms, I pray that the Bodhisattva's vast compassion will constantly awaken me, so that I might remember the Bodhi-mind in every thought, and let that mind continue unbroken. If my past obstructions are relatively light, I beseech the majestic power of the Great Being, enabling me to swiftly attain the Buddha-recitation samadhi and be reborn in the world of Amitābha Buddha. Relying on my fundamental vow, I will journey through infinite worlds, like an ocean of realms, to transform and liberate beings—for as long as the future extends, tirelessly and without weariness.
