Verse of Atonement
All evil karma ever committed by me since of old
On account of my beginningless greed,
anger, and ignorance
Born of my body, mouth, and thought
Now I atone for it all.
Verse of the Kesa
Vast is the robe of liberation,
A formless field of liberation.
I wear the Tathataga teaching,
Saving all sentient beings.
The Four Great Vows
Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible. I vow to transform them.
Dharma gates are boundless, I vow to enter them.
The Buddha Way is unattainable, I vow to embody it.
Maha Prajña Paramita Heart Sutra
Avalokiteshvara Bodhistattva, doing deep Prajña Paramita
Clearly saw emptiness of all the five conditions
Thus completely relieving misfortune and pain.
Oh Shariputra, form is no other than emptiness,
Emptiness no other than form;
Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form.
Sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like this.
Oh Shariputra, all Dharmas are forms of emptiness:
Not born, not destroyed; not stained, not pure; without loss, without gain.
So in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness.
No eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind; no color, sound, smell, taste, touch, phenomena.
No realm of sight, no realm of consciousness; no ignorance and no end to ignorance,
No old age and death, no end to old age and death,
No suffering, no cause of suffering, no extinguishing, no path, no wisdom, and no gain.
No gain and thus the Bodhisattva lives Prajña Paramita, with no hindrance in the mind.
No hindrance, therefore no fear.
Far beyond deluded thoughts, this is Nirvana.
All past, present and future Buddhas live Prajña Paramita
And therefore attain Añutara-Samyak-Sambodhi.
Therefore know Prajña Paramita is the great mantra,
The vivid mantra, the best mantra, the unsurpassable mantra.
It completely clears all pain.
This is the truth, not a lie.
So set forth the Prajña Paramita mantra,
Set forth this mantra and say:
Gate Gate Paragate! Parasamgate! Bodhi Svaha!
Prajña Heart Sutra!
Sho Sai Myo Kichijo Dharani

At one with Buddha
Directly Buddha
Also indirectly Buddha
And indirectly Buddha, Dharma, Sangha.
Joyful pure eternal being!
Morning mind is Kanzeon.
Evening mind is Kanzeon.
Nen, nen arises from Mind.
Nen, nen is not separate from Mind.

To study the Way is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened by the ten thousand things.
