How lucky I am to be able to extinguish within one life my sin of slandering the True Dharma ever since the eternal past! How glad I feel to be able to wait on Lord Śākyamuni Buddha, whom I have never seen yet!
May I guide first of all those rulers of this land who have persecuted me. May I tell Śākyamuni Buddha about my disciples who have assisted me. May I present this great merit to my parents, who gave birth to me, before I die.
