Suffering beings are numberless, I vow to liberate them all.
Attachment is inexhaustible, I vow to release it all.
The gates to truth are numberless, I vow to master them all.
The ways of awakening are Supreme, I vow to realize them all.
Bodhisattva Vows, Merit and Wisdom are boundless, I vow to accumulate them.
The Dharma of the Buddha is boundless, I vow to master it.
The Tathagatas are infinite in number. I vow to serve them.
I vow to realize full Buddhahood.
I vow that all my vows are fulfilling perfectly in life after life.'
We can change the wording of these vows as above to suit one language and make the vows in silent thought or aloud in our deepest dedication and commitment. We can always repeat these vows each time when we pay homage to Buddha and Bodhisattva, beside this we can also repeat the same vows in our meditation session directly in practice. We should not forget that the Buddha-Dharma is flexible and if our mind is rigid, we learn and achieve nothing from it but lead to nowhere. Always keep our mind crystal clear in mindfulness and our heart open at all times so that we can hear, see, experience and witness the truth! _( )_ Namo Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva
