In keeping with our 100-day Ango Practice Season, we look at the Bodhisattva Virtue of ….
Vow and Commitment (pranidhana)
The most fundamental Bodhisattva’s vows are these four, which we chant daily …
To save all sentient beings, though beings numberless
To transform all delusions, though delusions inexhaustible
To perceive Reality, though Reality is boundless
To attain the Enlightened Way, a Way non-attainable
To transform all delusions, though delusions inexhaustible
To perceive Reality, though Reality is boundless
To attain the Enlightened Way, a Way non-attainable
Likewise, ‘Ango’ is a time of many other vows … an expression of dedication and intention sustaining effort, practice and beneficial activities toward our self and others (not two)
(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
