The Dharma, incomparably profound and infinitely subtle, is rarely encountered, even in millions of ages. Now we see it, hear it, receive and maintain it. May we completely realize the Tathagata's true meaning. Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them; Desires are inexhaustible, I vow to put an end to them; The Dharmas are boundless, I vow to master them; The Buddha way is unsurpassable, I vow to attain it.

The mind of the great sage of India was intimately conveyed from west to east. Among human beings are wise men and fools, but in the way there is no norther or southern Patriarch. The Subtle Source is clear and bright, The tributary streams flow through the darkness, To be attached to things is illusion, To encounter the absolute is not yet enlightenment, each and all, the subjective and objective spheres are related and at the same time independent, Related, yet working differently, though each keeps its own place, Form makes the character and appearance different, Sounds distinguish comfort and discomfort, The dark makes all words one, the brightness distinguishes good and bad phrases, The four elements return to their nature as a child to its mother, Fire is hot, wind moves, water is wet, earth hard, Eyes see, ears hear, nose smells, tongue taste the salt and sour, Each is independent of the other, Cause and effect must return to the great reality, The words high and low are used relatively, Within light there is darkness, but do not try to understand that darkness, Within darkness there is light, but do not look for that light, Light and darkness are a pair, like the foot before and the foot behind in walking, Each thing has its own intrinsic value and is related to everything else in function and position, Ordinary life fits the absolute as a box and its lid, The absolute works together with the relative like two arrows meeting in midair, Reading words you should grasp the great reality, Do not judge by any standards, If you do not see the way, you do not see it even as you walk on it, When you walk the way, it is not near, it is not far, If you are deluded, you are mountains and rivers away from it, I respectfully say to those who wish to be enlightened, do not waste your time by night or day Buddha nature pervades the whole universe existing right here and now, in reciting the identity of relative and absolute we dedicate its merits to The great Master Shakyamuni Buddha Dai osho, The all-pervading and everlasting three treasures, All arhats and Bodhisattva Mahasattvas, and their relations throughout the Dharma worlds, May our sincere vows to accomplish the buddha way be realized together All Buddhas throughout space and time, All Bodhisattva Mahasattvas Maha Prahjna Parahmita May peace pervade, throughout the worlds May liberation be not unknown may wisdom's light shine before you May dharma's might empower true
