Samantabhadra King of Aspirations

Описание: The Aspiration of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra
[1]
With purity of body, speech, and mind,
I bow to all the heroic Buddhas of the past, present, and future,
without exception in every world in all the ten directions.
…
[2]
By the power of this Aspiration of Samantabhadra,
I bow with as many bodies as there are atoms in the pure lands
of all those victorious Buddhas manifest in my mind, and
I pay homage to all of them.
…
[3]
I conceive the entire realm of truth to be completely
filled with enlightened ones.
On each atom I imagine there to be as many Buddhas
as atoms in the pure lands,
each Buddha surrounded by many Bodhisattvas.
…
[5]
I honour all these blissful lords,
praising their perfection with all the sounds
of an ocean of varied melodies, an ocean of endless praise.
…
[6]
I offer to those heroic Buddhas
the finest flowers, garlands, music, and ointments,
excellent canopies, choice lamps, and the best incense.
…
[7]
I offer as well to those victorious ones,
the finest array of all excellent things,
the finest robes and fragrances, and
heaps of sweet smelling powders as high as Mt. Meru.

[8]
…
By the power of my faith in the deeds of Samantabhadra,
I prostrate and present vast and unequalled offerings
to each of the victorious Buddhas.
…
[9]
I confess every type of wrong that I have done in thought, word, or deed,
under the influence of desire, anger, or ignorance.
…
[10]
I rejoice in the meritorious deeds
of all Buddhas of the ten directions,
the Bodhisattvas, Praty-eka-Buddhas,
Arhats, practitioners, and all sentient beings.
…


[11]
I request the Enlightened Protectors,
who have attained the detachment of Buddhahood
and illuminated the worlds of the ten directions,
to turn the peerless wheel of dharma.
…
[12]
With folded hands, I beseech those who intend to manifest the final Nirvana,
to remain for as many aeons as there are atoms in all the pure lands,
for the benefit and happiness of all living beings.
…
[13]
Whatever small amount of virtue I have gained
from prostrating, offering, confessing, rejoicing, requesting, and beseeching,
is dedicated to attaining perfect enlightenment.




[14]
…
I worship the Buddhas of the past
and those now present in the worlds of the ten directions;
those to come quickly fulfill their aspiration
and reach Buddhahood by traversing the stages of Enlightenment.
…
[15]
All the worlds of the ten directions become pure
and filled with Bodhisattvas and victorious Buddhas
who proceed to the royal tree of enlightenment.
…
[16]
All living beings in the ten directions
Are always happy and free of sickness.
…

The display of the dharma is in harmony
with the needs of all living beings and fulfills their hopes.
…
[17]
I perform all the deeds of enlightenment
and remember all my lives in all states of existence.
And in all my lives, after death, migration, and rebirth,
I always embrace spiritual life.
…
[18]
I follow all the victorious Buddhas
and perfect all the deeds of Samantabhadra.
Pure in the immaculate deeds of morality,
my conduct is always flawless and without fault.
…



[19]
I teach the dharma in every tongue,
in whatever sounds are understood by living beings,
in the language of the gods, nagas, demons, spirits, and human beings.
…
[20]
I always diligently and patiently perform the perfection.
I never disregard my intention to attain enlightenment
and completely remove whatever faults may obscure it.
…
[21]
Freed from karma, defilement, and actions of demons,
as a lotus is unsoiled by the mire,
so in every rebirth in the world,
I proceed unhindered,
like the sun and moon in the clear sky.


…
[22]
Throughout all the lands in all the directions,
the sufferings of the lower realms are completely relieved.
Establishing beings in happiness,
I work for the benefit of all living beings.
…
[23]
Fully accomplishing the activities of enlightenment,
I work in harmony with the activities of all beings.
I practice and demonstrate the deeds of Samantabhadra,
throughout all future aeons.
…
[24]
I associate with those whose activities are similar to mine.
We act alike in thought, word, and deed,
and our aspirations are as one.


…
[25]
Those friends who wish to help me,
and also demonstrate the deeds of Samantabhadra,
always meet me again, and I never cause them pain.
…
[26]
I always personally behold the victorious Buddhas,
those Guardians surrounded by Bodhisattvas.
And without tiring, in all future aeons,
I always present them magnificent offerings.
…
[27]
I always uphold the Buddhas’ sacred dharma
and illuminate the deeds of enlightenment.
I train in the practice of Samantabhadra in all future aeons.
