fusatsu

In the Zen tradition, at regular intervals during the year we practice fusatsu, a renewal of vows centered on the Buddhist precepts. During that ceremony, the sangha chants:

Being one with the Buddha with all sentient beings, raise the bodhi mind, let the Supreme Way be realized;

Being one with the dharma with all sentient beings, penetrate all sutras, let wisdom be like the ocean;

Being one with the sangha with all sentient beings, lead the people, let harmony pervade everywhere.

(GEOFFREY SHUGEN ARNOLD in Lion's Roar)
