Creations are numberless, I vow to free them.
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to end them
Realities are boundless, I vow to master them.
The Enlightened Way is unsurpassable, I vow to embody it.
Used by the Zen Center of New York
A modern, ecological version of these vows written by
Allen Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, and Philip Whalen:
Sentient beings are numberless; I vow to save them.
Consuming desires are endless; I vow to stop them.
Bio-relations are intricate; I vow to honor them.
Nature's way is beautiful; I vow to become it.
