The Ten Great Vows of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra

These are the Ten Great Vows of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra (Puxian Pusa) written in my own Chinese calligraphy that has appeared in Hubby's blog last year. I thought this could be an opportune moment to renew these great vows, which have been translated into English below, the correspondence being from left to right (Chinese) and top to bottom (English):

First, Pay homage and respect to all Buddha’s.

Second, Praise all the Buddha’s.

Third, Make abundant offerings.

Fourth, Repent misdeeds and evil karma’s (actions).

Fifth, Rejoice in others’ merits and virtues.

Sixth, Request the Buddha’s to teach.

Seventh, Request the Buddha’s to remain in the world.

Eighth, Follow the teachings of the Buddha’s at all times.

Ninth, Accommodate and benefit all living beings.

Tenth, Transfer all merits and virtues universally.
