Witnessing the hardships of our time fills me with even deeper sorrow. When a single bushel of rice costs nearly a thousand coins, we already lament the suffering of the people; when illness and death claim thousands daily, we are even more struck by the profound weight of karmic retribution. This is truly due to our shared negative conditions and karma, giving rise to these extraordinary, illusory manifestations. Having realized that nothing exists outside the mind, how can I stand by and remain indifferent? Now, during this Ullambana Dharma gathering, I light five incense sticks as an offering to the Three Jewels of the Dharma Realm, and I make five vows. First, I vow that the current Emperor may be magnanimous, gentle, and wise, honoring the virtuous and embracing the people. May he regard his ministers as his own hands and feet, and may his blessings and grace extend throughout the land. Through the samadhi of loving-kindness, may he subdue the armies of demons, and through the effortless Four Great Vows, may he perpetuate the seed of Buddhahood. Second, I vow that the benefactors, government officials, and all those present, extending to the imperial ministers and all court officials across the country, may be free from worry in their official duties and studies, and embody both true authority and virtue. Third, I vow that within the region of Tiaoxi and throughout the land of China, epidemic diseases may be eliminated, warfare may cease, the wind and rain may arrive in due season, grains may yield abundant harvests, and the Dharma may flourish widely, so that all beings may escape the wheel of suffering. Fourth, I vow that each of our teachers, parents, and relatives throughout countless kalpas, our virtuous and evil teachers and friends, our fellow practitioners and companions, the benefactors who built this monastery, and the faithful donors from the ten directions, may all transcend the four torrents of birth, aging, sickness, and death, perfectly realize the three virtues of liberation, wisdom, and the Dharma body, complete their own benefit, and universally extend their benefit to others. Fifth, I vow that all sentient beings throughout the boundless cosmos endowed with consciousness may equally awaken to the true cause and achieve the supreme fruition, dissolving the illusory dreams of the nine realms and returning to the fundamental source of the One Mind. In every speck of dust and every thing, may the Eternal Stillness and Light be manifest; in every dharma and every phenomenon, may the wondrous practices be revealed. Throughout worlds as numerous as atoms, may the name of Mara or heretics never be heard; throughout future ages without end, may the defilements of craving and views never arise. I humbly beseech the Three Jewels of the Dharma Realm to witness these vows and to protect and remember them with your compassionate care.
