Sutra Chanting for the Arhats
(ôgu fugin)

Text chanted:

Heart Sutra (Hannya shingyô)

Eko:

We humbly beg your illumination and sympathetic response.

Having chanted the Heart of Great Perfect Wisdom Sutra, we transfer the merit generated thereby to the eternal three treasures in the ten directions; to the countless sages in the ocean of buddhahood; to the sixteen great arhats; and to all beings associated with the class of worthy ones.

What we pray is that you will use your three knowledges and six supernatural powers to turn the age of the end of the dharma into the age of the true dharma; use your five powers and eight liberations to lead living beings to the uncreated; continuously turn the two wheels of the monastery; and forever prevent the three disasters from afflicting the land.
