.Everyone can be reborn in any heaven or Pureland at one's will.Clothing or food will appear as one desires.No sound of fighting among rivals can be heard.The four limbs will not be hurt by constant changes.The five sense organs will not be influenced by delusions.All will diligently cultivate virtuous conducts and eliminate all evil deeds, resolve to attain Mahayanist mind and practice the Bodhisattva's way, to accomplish the four immeasurable minds and the six paramitas, transcend the cycle of birth and death, and attain enlightenment.313-4In today's Dharma assembly, we, who have common karma, ask ourselves: what are the root causes of resentment and suffering? The eyes crave the forms.The ears crave the sound.The nose craves the smells.The tongue craves the tastes.The body craves the soft and smooth touches.We are constantly attached to the objects perceived by the five sense organs.This is why we cannot liberate ourselves through the kalpas.Next, our families and friends are whom we have resentments with in the three periods.All resentments arise from intimate relationship.If there is no intimacy, there is no resentment.Leaving intimacy means leaving resentment.Why? If people live in different places far away, they never have to resent each other.All resentments are due to intimacy.Due to the three poisonous roots, we create afflictions when we interact with each other.The afflictions then cause the hatred between each other.That is why there are always complaints about one another among family members and relatives.Parents complain about their children.Children complain about their parents.Brothers and sisters complain about each other.The more complaints we have, the more resentful we become.Due to the resentments, when there is minor disagreement, we become furious and hateful.If one has fortune, one's relatives will compete to get it.If one is poor, one does not have to worry about people trying to take the fortune away.When one starts to get something, one thinks it is too little.The more one gets, the greedier one becomes.When one gets whatever one asks for, one never thinks about the kindness of the one that gives it.For once that one does not get what one wants, one immediately becomes resentful.Then, one starts to have evil thoughts and a calculating mind.It is through such behavior, one makes countless rivals and creates troubles for oneself life after life.Based on this, our rivals in the past, present, and future lives are not some strangers but our families and friends.Therefore, we should know by now that the families and friends are just manifestation of our resentful affinity.Consequently, we should repent our faults affably and prostrate faithfully.Today, on behalf of all who we had resentment with since we had consciousness through countless kalpas until today, including those who were our parents and are presently in realms of hells, animals, starving ghosts, asuras, human beings, divine beings, and immortals, no matter who was right or wrong or the severity of the resentment and hatred, with compassionate mind and no differentiating thoughts of rivals or friends, we resolve to attain the same mind as the Buddha's make the same vow as the Buddha's, and take the refuge in the world's most compassionate ones.319+2Again, we take refuge in the Triple Gems of all realms in ten directions.We pray that, through the power of the Buddhas, the Dharma, and the Bodhisattvas, all our past parents, families, and relatives in six realms, come to this Dharma assembly.Together, we repent our past offenses and hope to dissolve all resentments and hatred.If there is anyone who cannot come due to the limitation of their present form, we pray that the power of the Triple Gems can bring their spirits here.We pray that all will accept the repentance from each other with compassion and dissolve all resentments between each other.Each one in the Dharma assembly should recite loudly and in their mind that, since the beginningless time we had consciousness, we have had close affinity with our parents, aunts, uncles, families and relatives through many kalpas.We have committed ten evil deeds due to the three poisonous roots.We neither remember, believed, nor try to correct our behaviors.We caused the resentments and hatred among parents and relatives and rivals in six realms due to our ignorance.Such karmic offenses we have committed are countless and boundless.Today we repent and hope to eradicate such offenses.We have also committed various karmic offenses due to the three poisonous roots of hatred, craving, and ignorance since the beginningless time.These offenses are also countless and boundless.We feel ashamed and repent and we beg for forgiveness.321+3Next, since the beginningless time, we created resentment and hatred for the sake of lands, houses, and money.We harmed and murdered members of our families and relatives.Such crimes of killing are too many to describe
