Sutra Chanting for Patron's Ancestors
(Dannotsu senmô ruidai fugin)
Texts chanted:
not specified
Eko:
The clear cool moon of the bodhisattva
floats in the sky of utter emptiness;
in the pure water of the mind of beings,
the reflection of bodhi will appear.
We humbly beg the three jewels for their illumination.
Having chanted the preceding sutras and dharanis, we offer the
merit generated thereby to the spirits of ancestors and deceased
family members of the [dharma name] household, to the
six close kin and seven generations of parents, and to all sentient
beings of the dharma realm, including the myriad spirits of the
triple world both with and without connections to the living.
What we pray for is that their delusion of long kalpas will now
be extinguished; that the marvelous wisdom of true emptiness
will hereby appear; that they will immediately comprehend the
uncreated and quickly confirm the fruit of buddhahod.
