I raise my sympathetic joy unto all merits and virtues of the sentient beings.

Forever I shall bear the Three Precious Ones in my mind,

From now on till the time of my attaining the Buddhahood,

I devote and submit myself, my whole being, to all Buddhas!

For the sake of benefiting self and others,

I hereby take the oath for the Devotion for Bodhi[r_3:18].

After the growing of the Heart for Bodhi,

I render my service to all beings as a humble servant.

With joy and vigor I practice the Action of Bodhi.

In order to benefit all the sentient beings,

I sincerely pray the day of my attaining Bodhi will come soon!"

(Repeat not less than three times, using Ku Sha grass to bless the disciples.)

Now, the disciples should practice the visualization of the Arising Buddha. Follow my instructions and visualize them. (The guru reads loudly and slowly.)

"All of you become Avalokites'vara, the All-Merciful One.

His body is white in color and he has only one face.

His four arms are poised in the following manner:

The palms of the two center arms are folded together.

One arm holds a rosary, and one holds a lotus branch.

The two feet entwine in the Diamond Sitting Posture.

The rare ornaments adorn his body.

Arrayed in silks, he sits solemnly on the cushion of the Sun-Moon-Lotus.

"In such manner you visualize the Arising Buddha. Now you should meditate on the three places from which to draw the wave of grace and blessing:

"Visualize in your forehead a white Om word standing straight;

A red Ah word stands in the forepart of the throat;

A blue Hum word stands in your heart.

In the very center of your heart is a moon disc;

Upon the white moon disc stands a white S'ri word.

The Six Sacred Words circle the S'ri word.

Because of inviting the Wisdom-Buddha to come here,

From the S'ri word emanate infinite rays of light.

These rays of light shine forth to the Pure Land of Happiness,

Also shining forth south toward the Holy Potala[r_3:19].

There by numerous forms of Avalokites'vara, big as mountains, small as mustard seeds,

With the Six Sacred Words, and the white S'ri word in their bodies,

As snow falling, they all descend here.

They enter your body like the rainfall and penetrate deep in you."

(Play all musical instruments. All chant in rhythm.)

"Hum! I think, I think of the All-Merciful One!

Listen! the All-Merciful One and Buddhas rise up,

From the Great Place of the South the Buddhas arise!

With retinues and assemblies they descend here.

Well dressed is the crown of the head,

The precious ornaments are as glossy as sun rays.

Accompanied with music and dance, you come here.
