Everything Delightful, Dedicated to All Beings

Following the previous Part's meditation on ordinary delightful sights, the bodhisattva dedicates his wholesome roots through thirty vows bound together by a single recurring word — 可愛樂, "delightful" or "lovable" — applied to everything from beholding a buddha, to a bodhisattva's meditative absorption, to the very gateway of all-wisdom itself, closing with universal, true and complete enlightenment throughout the world.

Thirty Vows, One Recurring Word

可愛樂 — "delightful," "lovable," worthy of genuine affection — threads through every one of these thirty vows, applied to things not usually described that way in formal doctrine: a dhāraṇī gateway, freedom from craving, even the gateway of all-wisdom itself. The dedication of true suchness insists that the deepest truths are not merely to be understood, but to be found delightful.

Ru-Yi Translation

"The bodhisattva then, with these wholesome roots, dedicates them in this way, namely: 'May all sentient beings attain a delightful vision of every Tathāgata, beholding the true nature of dharmas as equal upon equal, grasping at nothing, entirely and perfectly pure; may all sentient beings behold every Tathāgata as exceedingly delightful, making offerings to them in complete fulfillment; may all sentient beings be born into every exceedingly delightful, pure buddha-land free of any affliction; may all sentient beings attain the vision of every buddha's own delightful Dharma; may all sentient beings forever delight in protecting and upholding every bodhisattva's delightful practice; may all sentient beings attain a good spiritual friend's own delightful eye, seeing without any obstruction; may all sentient beings forever behold everything delightful, encountering nothing contrary or unwelcome; may all sentient beings realize and attain every delightful dharma, diligently protecting and upholding it; may all sentient beings attain pure light within the delightful Dharma of every buddha; may all sentient beings cultivate every bodhisattva's own delightful mind that is able to relinquish everything; may all sentient beings attain fearlessness, able to expound every delightful dharma; may all sentient beings attain every bodhisattva's own utterly delightful, profound meditative absorption; may all sentient beings attain every bodhisattva's own exceedingly delightful dhāraṇī gateway; may all sentient beings attain every bodhisattva's own exceedingly delightful wisdom of skillful contemplation; may all sentient beings be able to manifest a bodhisattva's own exceedingly delightful, sovereign spiritual power; may all sentient beings be able, within the great assemblies of every buddha, to expound the delightful, profound, wondrous Dharma; may all sentient beings be able, with skillful means, to reveal and expound every exceedingly delightful, distinct phrase of the Dharma; may all sentient beings forever be able to give rise to an exceedingly delightful, equal great compassion; may all sentient beings, thought after thought, give rise to an exceedingly delightful great mind of enlightenment, forever causing their every faculty to rejoice in gladness and joy; may all sentient beings be able to enter every exceedingly delightful household of the Tathāgatas; may all sentient beings attain a delightful, taming practice, taming sentient beings without any rest; may all sentient beings attain every bodhisattva's own exceedingly delightful, inexhaustible eloquence, expounding every dharma; may all sentient beings, throughout inexpressible, inexpressible kalpas, abide within every delightful world, teaching and transforming sentient beings, their minds never weary; may all sentient beings, with immeasurable skillful means, be universally able to awaken to and enter every exceedingly delightful gateway of every buddha's Dharma; may all sentient beings attain a delightful, unobstructed skillful means, knowing that every dharma has no root or basis at all; may all sentient beings attain a delightful boundary free of craving and desire, knowing that every dharma is ultimately without duality, severing every obstruction; may all sentient beings attain a delightful boundary free of craving and desire, knowing that every dharma is equal and truly real; may all sentient beings fully possess and perfectly fulfill every bodhisattva's own exceedingly delightful dharma free of idle discourse; may all sentient beings attain the diligent mind of the vajra treasury, accomplishing the delightful path of all-wisdom; may all sentient beings possess a delightful, unobstructed wholesome root, subduing every afflicted foe and enemy; may all sentient beings attain the delightful gateway of all-wisdom, universally manifesting the accomplishment of true enlightenment throughout the world.'"

Reading note — Ru-Yi Meditation Center

Two vows use nearly identical wording — "a delightful boundary free of craving and desire" — but conclude differently: the first ends "severing every obstruction," the second "knowing that every dharma is equal and truly real." The near-repetition is not redundancy; it pairs the negative work of cutting off obstruction with the positive vision of equality and truth, as though one boundary requires being named twice to hold both halves of what freedom from craving actually accomplishes.

Part 346 Complete

This continues the eighth dedication's vows for all sentient beings. Chapter 25 continues in Part 347 as the bodhisattva, cultivating these wholesome roots, attains the clarity of wisdom itself — gathered in by good spiritual friends, the Tathāgata's own wisdom-sun illuminating his mind and forever extinguishing the darkness of delusion.
