Confession of Harm
O lama, great vajra holder, all you buddhas and bodhisattvas who dwell in the ten directions: turn your attention towards me, I pray!
I, (...insert your name...) throughout time without beginning in saṃsāra until this moment now,
In the grip of negative emotions of attachment, aversion and stupidity,
With my body speech and mind I have committed: the ten negative acts,
The five crimes with immediate retribution,
And the five crimes almost as grave.
I have broken the pratimokṣa vows,
The bodhisattva precepts and the samayas of the secret mantra yāna.
I have failed to respect my mother and father,
My preceptor and master,
And the members of my Saṅgha.
I have performed acts harmful to the Buddha, Dharma and Saṅgha,
Abandoned the sacred Dharma,
Disdained the ārya Saṅgha,
And acted so as to harm sentient beings, and more. all these harmful and negative acts I have committed,
Allowed to be committed
Or rejoiced at others’ committing, in short all the downfalls and wrongdoings that will obstruct me from attaining higher realms and liberation,
And will be the cause of saṃsāra and lower realms, whatever they may be, in their entirety, in the presence of you, the lama, great vajra holder, and all the buddhas and bodhisattvas who dwell in the ten directions, I openly acknowledge and purify them!
I do not hide them.
Nor do I conceal them.
From now on I vow never to commit them again!
If I openly acknowledge and purify them, I shall attain the state of bliss;
If I do not, that will never be.
iii. Confession
Whatever negative acts I have committed,
While driven by desire, hatred and ignorance,
With my body, my speech and also with my mind,
Before you, I confess and purify each and every one.
4. The Remaining Four Branches12
iv. Rejoicing
With a heart full of delight, I rejoice at all the merits
Of buddhas and bodhisattvas,
Pratyekabuddhas, those in training and the arhats beyond training,
And every living being, throughout the entire universe.
v. Imploring the Buddhas to Turn the Wheel of Dharma
You who are like beacons of light shining through the worlds,
Who passed through the stages of enlightenment, to attain buddhahood, freedom from all attachment,
I urge you: all of you protectors,
Turn the unsurpassable wheel of Dharma.
vi. Requesting the Buddhas Not to Enter Nirvāṇa
Joining my palms together, I pray
To you who intend to pass into nirvāṇa-
Remain, for aeons as many as the atoms in this world,
And bring well-being and happiness to all living beings.
vii. Dedication
What little virtue I have gathered through my homage,
Through offering, confession, and rejoicing,
Through exhortation and prayer-all of it
I dedicate to the enlightenment of all beings!
Training the Mind in the Four Immeasurables
May all mother-like sentient beings, as limitless as space, enjoy happiness and the causes of happiness!
May all mother-like sentient beings, as limitless as space, be free from suffering and the causes of suffering!
May all mother-like sentient beings, as limitless as space, never be apart from the sacred happiness devoid of suffering!
May all mother-like sentient beings, as limitless as space, dwell in boundless equanimity, which is free from attachment to some and aversion to others!
Giving Away of the Three Bases of Clinging
My bodies and likewise my possessions
And all my merits, past, present and future,
I give them all away, withholding not a thing,
To bring about the benefit of sentient beings.13
The Preliminary Prayer for Requesting the Attention of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Teachers
All you buddhas who dwell in the ten directions
All you great bodhisattvas on the ten levels,
All you great teachers, the vajra-holders, turn your mind towards me, I pray!
