自归于佛，
当愿众生，
绍隆佛种，
发无上意。

(华严经: 净行品11: 第20偈)
Personally taking refuge [in the] Buddha[s],
[reflect that] ‘May sentient beings
perpetuate magnificence [of their] Buddha seeds,*
[by] giving rise to the unsurpassable intention.’**
– Manjusri Bodhisattva
(Avatamsaka Sutra: Chapter 11 On Pure Practices: Verse 20)
