Dedication

The story goes like this:

It was not until December 2007 I had the fate and the opportunity to learn about this great Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, popularly known as Dìzàng Wáng Púsà (地藏王菩薩) and his selfless vows to save all living beings. It was then I took refuge in Him & Amituofo (阿彌陀佛) to provide me with the stability when I was at the lowest point of my life. And I feel much better since.

With that appreciation I dedicate this blog to share with all the great benefit of Ksitigarbha’s vows as spoken by Buddha Sakyamuni in The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Great Vows Sutra (地藏菩薩本願經)

… any good person who reads the Sutra or who worships Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha will earn extraordinary merits, be free of suffering due to past karma and ultimately, be born in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

May the merits and virtues accrued from this work adorn the Buddha’s Pure Land, repay the Four Kindness above and relieve the sufferings of those in the Three Realms below.

May those who see and read this bring forth the Bodhi mind and live the teachings for the rest of this life, then be born together in the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
