The Four Universal Vows of Bodhisattvas
Zhiyi (538-597, Sui Dynasty) and Guanding (561-632, Sui Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
Living beings are inifinite, I vow to liberate them all.
Afflictions are endless, I vow to eradicate them all.
Teachings are immeasurable, I vow to learn them all.
Buddhahood is unsurpassed, I vow to attain it.
── from Mohe Zhiguan (Great Calming and Contemplation)
