    The Four Encompassing Vows

    Masses [of] creatures, without-bounds,


    [I/we] vow to save [them all].

    Anxiety [and] hate, [delusive-desires] inexhaustible,


    [I/we] vow to break [them all].

    Dharma gates beyond-measure


    [I/we] vow to learn [them all].

    Buddha Way, unsurpassable,


    [I/we] vow to accomplish [it].

    Shindo Gensho (Richard Jones)
