Speaker A

sins committed by my body, and deeply repent for all the sins committed by my words. I repent by cleansing all the sins committed by my thoughts; please wash away all my sins without a trace with the clear water of ten years. O

Speaker A

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who pour forth wisdom and compassion with the light, the light, the light of life, my life, having lived it, has been like a fallen leaf drifting across a desolate field. It has been a life full of

hardship, loneliness, and exhaustion. It was a life where I struggled, tried hard, and did my best to live well.

01:21

Speaker A

Buddha, I tried so hard to be happy, not even knowing what happiness was, just to gain something. Without me even realizing it, illness made my body sick, and since I cannot overcome this disease, I am now letting go of this

Speaker A

body. What I earnestly desire is that if I can let go of this body and pass through the process of death to be reborn, I wish to return as a human being in the human world. In the life I

Speaker A

newly attain, I want to create a beautiful world where I live together with others, with a heart full of love and compassion, living a life that is truly meaningful and valuable. Buddha, the sins I have committed are beyond

Speaker A

words. I have repented. Because I was foolish and ignorant, the sins I committed without knowing are countless. Nevertheless, I wish to be reborn as a human. Within my heart, there are the parents I desire. I wish to meet the parents I want and choose

Speaker A

the country I wish to live in, to be born as a magnificent being with a strong body, healthy senses, and a kind heart. I want to return as someone who is blessed, welcomed, and rejoiced by many. I want to live a life that is not

Speaker A

as weary, painful, or difficult as this one, but a life that is meaningful and shared, where even if there is hardship, that hardship never becomes suffering, allowing me to be reborn again. When I seek the parents I desire, please,

Speaker A

Buddhas, guide me so that I may find a good country and kind, virtuous parents. Please protect me so that I do not fall back into ignorance and darkness because of my own ignorance and darkness. If I enter a mother's womb, I

04:29

Speaker A

wish to grow up healthy and well under the protection of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva for ten months. I wish to be born as a kind and good child who does not cause pain to my mother at birth. If I can be reborn

into this world, then I will truly create a beautiful life. O compassionate Buddhas, please take my hand and guide me so that I may be reborn into the human world, without falling into ignorance and darkness.

Grant me your blessing so that I may not fall into the realms of hell, hungry ghosts, animals, or asuras, but may return only to the human world.

There is a life that I desire. I earnestly pray with folded hands before the many Buddhas to attain the life I wish for, so please let my wish come true. Namo Mahakarunika Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
