The Bodhi Sweet Dew
念相生時佛不生 念相滅時佛不滅
不生不滅自性佛 隨生隨滅感應佛
佛光普照法性佛 自性恆現阿彌陀
無量諸佛，證得無上菩提，在行菩提行時，都發無量行願。
釋迦牟尼佛：為了救度濁世眾生，發廣大願為根本無量行願。
阿彌陀佛：為了接引眾生速成佛道，發了以四十八願為根本的大願海。
每一尊佛都有無量行願，一切佛的行願，我們應誓願修持，直到畢竟圓滿。誓願以圓攝一切善而行修：
以諸佛願為己願
以諸佛行為己行
修無盡的妙德，來圓滿無上的佛道

The Bodhi Sweet Dew
When the thought form arises, the Buddhas don’t.
When the thought form disappears, the Buddhas don’t.
The Buddha of self-nature neither arises nor disappears.
The Buddha of response arises or disappears according to timely necessities.
The Buddha of Dharma nature lights up the universe with the Buddha radiance.
Amitabha Buddha always manifests His self-nature.
Countless Buddhas have confirmed the supreme Bodhi and have made boundless vows when taking the Bodhi actions. Sakyamuni Buddha, in order to rescue the living beings in the chaotic world, made broad vows that are the fundamental boundless ones. Amitabha Buddha, in order to lead the sentient beings to attain Buddhahood soon, made a sea of vows based on His 48 ones.
Each Buddha has limitless vows, all of which should be cultivated by us until repletion. We should vow to cultivate by means of absorbing all kinds of goodness with repletion. We should regard the Buddhas’ vows as our own, and the Buddhas’ conducts as ours. Let’s cultivate the endless wondrous virtues to perfect the supreme Buddha Path.
