rough these Great Victorious Ones, the Path to Nirvana is

known which puts an end to all Samsaric sufferings. Out of love

and gratitude and wisdom, I shall henceforth take refuge in the

ree Jewels, realise and confess my faults, practise the Precepts,

observe the Bodhisattva Vows and perfect the Six Paramitas.

I pray for your blessings to ensure that I shall always be on your

Great Path of Compassion in this and every life-time until

Buddhahood has been won.

May all sentient beings be blessed by your saving powers and be

happy for all eternity. Kindly help their seed of Enlightenment

to bud and blossom so that its beauty may fill the universe. I

prostrate to you, Kuan Shih Yin P’usa.
