求请出家，
当愿众生，
得不退法，
心无障碍。

(华严经: 净行品11: 第15偈)
When requesting to renounce household life,*
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings,
attain the non-retrogressible Dharma,**
with minds without obstacles.’***
– Manjusri Bodhisattva

** teachings that lead to Buddhahood, without backsliding
*** that slow down spiritual progress
