I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you have pointed out the misunderstanding in our study, saying that it is a false learning method to remember something by means of comprehension because you probably easily encounter something you cannot understand when remembering it through comprehension. It is the delusion that destroys us. Do not think about it and it is not necessary for you to understand. There is no need to understand. Just do it. After practicing it enough, naturally, you can master it. If you just think about it a lot, you are not capable of doing it.
I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you are endowed with limitless compassion, coaxing us into being willing to make a little offering, accepting with joy all our lowly offering and helping us not feel any physical or mental strain or else we will not even be willing to make offering.
I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you bestow on us the platform of this Association for our development and hold it entirely behind the scenes quietly. With your protection and blessing, as well as the President’s leadership, we can cultivate easily and are moving forward at a rapid pace.
I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because what you have said, like the teaching that the good feeling can cause you to destroy everything willingly, is the precious Dharma and unsurpassed wisdom which can enlighten me, remove my obstacles and free me from my attachments.
I praise you endlessly, our Kind Mentor, because you are extremely sublime and solemn, having been established in limitless merits and virtues, bestowing excellent aid. Seeing, hearing and recollecting you can make me subdue my affliction, pure, enlightened, sever the web of my affliction, pull out my arrows of suffering, cease my madness so as to let Bodhi appear and can make me peaceful and happy in body and mind.
I praise you and are grateful to you because you are hard to encounter just like uḍumbara flower. I make a vow that I will never tire of meeting our Kind Mentor; I will never tire of being close to our Kind Mentor; I will never tire of making offerings to our Kind Mentor; I will never be worried about serving our Kind Mentor; I will never retreat from seeking our Kind Mentor; I will never give up loving our Kind Mentor; I will never stop from serving our Kind Mentor; I will never stop from respecting our my Kind Mentor; I will never be lazy in carrying out our Kind Mentor’s teachings; I will never make any mistake in preserving what our Kind Mentor has taught; I will have no concern for my own life; I will have no desire for worldly pleasures; I deeply love, respect and attend our Kind Mentor and practice like you; I will perfect the causes and conditions of the Five Roots and Five Forces.
