Verse of the Robe
Vast is the robe of liberation,
a formless field of benefaction,
I wear the universal teachings,
saving all sentient beings.
Four Vows
Beings are numberless, I vow to awaken them,
Delusions are inexhaustable, I vow to transform them,
The Dharma is boundless, I vow to perceive it,
The awakened way is unattainable, I vow to embody it.
