SAMANTABHADRA BODHISATTVA’S TEN GREAT VOWS
Master Jun Hong Lu: Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has made ten great vows, therefore He is known as “Universal Worthy Bodhisattva”. When you recite the Eighty-Eight Buddhas Great Repentance (LIFO), what are you actually reciting?
It is in fact about your intention to change your behaviour. When you are determined to do so and you tap into the power from your vow to get you there. This is what it means by putting your vow into practice.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is the epitome of ‘great conduct’ therefore, He is known as “Na Mo Da Xing Pu Xian Pu Sa” (One who puts His great vow into action).
When we recite the LIFO, we should learn from Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. What should we learn? It is to learn the ten great vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
