文殊師利菩薩無相十禮

The Great Sage Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva, dwelling in the Clear and Cool Mountains, sat upright and, rightly contemplating the mind, found that even the mind itself cannot be attained.

Universally, for the sake of the four Kindnesses, the three Realms, and the beings within the Dharma Realm, identical with Suchness of Suchness,

I take refuge and repent. With single-minded devotion I repent: I, throughout the three Times, seek the Nature of transgression. The mind within, while sitting, in the midst—truly there is nothing. Because there is no Mind, all dharmas are still and silent. The three Poisons and the four Inverted Views are all Thus. Having finished repenting, I take refuge and pay homage to the Dharmakāya Tathāgata.

With single-minded devotion I urge and entreat. All dharmas are fundamentally unarising; because there is no arising, how could there be cessation? Neither arising nor ceasing, the Nature ever abides. I pray the Buddhas not enter Nirvāṇa, but cause all beings to illumine the Original Nature, and naturally to roam at ease into the citadel of Nirvāṇa (the citadel of Nirvāṇa). The practitioner need only illumine the five Aggregates—no Self, no Person, both extremes empty. Having finished urging and entreating, I take refuge and pay homage to the Dharmakāya Tathāgata.

With single-minded devotion I rejoice in merit. Dharmas are fundamentally neither to be coveted nor to be feared; thing and Self are neither one nor different. Equally contemplating the One Reality, realizing No-Arising; contemplating the assembly without Conditions, I rejoice in all. Contemplating Emptiness, illumining existence, the Nature is Suchness of Suchness. I pray that beings diligently illumine the mind. Whence does the Substance of the mind arise? Its Nature is pure and clean. Deluded form (false material substance) is identical with empty space; the Wisdom is True. Having finished rejoicing, I take refuge and pay homage to the Dharmakāya Tathāgata.

With single-minded devotion I dedicate the merit. Deluded within a single dwelling, one follows the bright conception (the conception of brightness); grasping the bright conception, one therefore gives rise to the Defilements of Self (the six defilements: form, sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharmas). Able to illumine the Defilements of Self as without Self-Nature, I dedicate the merit to accomplish the Non-Abiding Nirvāṇa. The five Dharmas are comprehended within Right Wisdom.

The eight Consciousnesses are pure and clean; purified is the Mind-King.

Returning to the Aggregate-Body (the body of the five aggregates), I accomplish the Path of Buddhahood.

The four Deportments single-mindedly directed, the Practice manifests before me.

Having finished dedicating, I take refuge and pay homage to the Dharmakāya Tathāgata.

With single-minded devotion I make my Vow.

May I cause all beings to ward off the six Thieves.

May Compassion and Wisdom shine forth, the Practice manifesting before me.

Neither Annihilation nor Permanence, departing from the immeasurable.

Neither Empty nor Existent—the Practice that vastly comprehends (the practice of clearly understanding fear).

The four Wisdoms and three Bodies have That as their Substance.

The five Eyes ever illumine, sporting with the three Clarities.

The three Assemblies, mind-born, are without obstruction.

Beneath the Bodhi tree, I deliver the multitude of sprouts (the assembly of newly sprouting wholesome roots).

Having finished making my Vow, I take refuge and pay homage to the Dharmakāya Tathāgata.

With all reverence,

I take refuge in the Virtue of the Buddha, in Bodhi.

May the Mind of the Path never retreat.

I pray that together with all beings

We may alike enter the Substance of True Suchness.

I take refuge in the Dharma, in Sarva-Jñā (Sarva-Jñā: the All-Knowing Wisdom).

Attaining the Gate of the Great Dhāraṇī.

I pray that together with all beings

We may alike enter the ocean of True Suchness.

I take refuge in the Saṅgha, ceasing disputation.

Alike entering the ocean of harmony.

I pray that the assemblies of beings

May each give rise to the Mind of Bodhi.

May the three Karmas ever be pure and clean.

The whole Assembly bows in homage to the Dharmakāya Buddha.

Let the Assemblies hear the recitation of the Dawn-Hour Purity Verse (the Verse of Purity at the hour of the Tiger):

Wishing to seek the joy of Quiescent Cessation,

One should study the Dharma of the Śramaṇa.

Clothing and food (sustenance) shelter the Body and Life;

Fine or coarse, follow the Assemblies.

This day, all the assemblies, at the hour of the Tiger in the early dawn, sitting in the upper, middle, and lower places, all recollect the six Recollections.

Let the Assemblies hear the recitation of the Noon-Hour Impermanence Verse (the Verse of Impermanence at the hour of the Horse):

A human life that is not vigorous

Is like a tree without root.

Flowers and leaves come to the day of withering;

Able to seize the Time, only then is it good.

Flowers too are not fresh for long;

Their color too is not ever good.

A human life is like a kṣaṇa;

In an instant it is hard to repay.

Now I exhort all the Assemblies:

Diligently cultivate the unsurpassed Path.

Let the Assemblies hear the recitation of the Twilight Impermanence Verse (the Verse of Impermanence at twilight):

This day has already passed away,

And life is diminished accordingly, little by little.
