Namaḥ Ksitigarbhāya Bodhisattvāya Mahāsattvāya

Entrusted to us by the Buddha as the sole rescuer for this earth and this era.
現在未來天人眾,吾今殷勤付囑汝: 以大神通方便度,勿令墮在諸惡趣。

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

南無地藏菩薩摩訶薩

"The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are most lenient, kind and merciful—they only rescue and give blessings, never lay guilt nor punish."

"Ksitigarbha (Earth Treasury) Bodhisattva is most distinguished among all Bodhisattvas for His Grand Vows—Ksitigarbha vows that He would not become a Buddha until all sentient beings in the six realms, including those in hell, are rescued and guided onto the path to become Buddhas."

"Life is nothing but an experiment of the Truth, and there is no good nor bad experience, as long as we are willing to review it and harvest the conclusion with the help of the Buddha's teachings."
