Preliminary Recitations from Invocation by DharmaVoci

To the Buddha I return and rely, vowing that all living beings profoundly understand the great way and bring forth the Bodhi Mind.

To the Dharma I return and rely, vowing that all living beings deeply enter the sutra and have wisdom like the sea.

To the sangha I return and rely, vowing that all living beings apply love and compassion to all.


May all living beings always be peaceful and happy and maintain the causes of peace and happiness

May all living beings always be free from suffering and the causes of suffering

May all living beings always be free from suffering and my own heart be delighted about this

May all living beings stay far away from greed and anger and abide in non-differentiating generosity


I vow to cut off all evil within me. There will be no evil that I will not cut off.
I vow to practice all types of goodness. There’ll be no type of goodness I will not practice.
