We were not born in Hell (1), or yet among hungry ghosts(2).
We are not beasts(3), nor long-lived gods(4), nor vicious barbarians(5),
We were not reared in wrong views (6), nor in a time without Buddha (7),
Nor have we been born as idiots without speech (8),
We are completely free from all these eight non-freedoms.

We were born in the human realm, and in a central country.
Also we sound in all our faculties,
Not having done inexplicably wrong in deeds and actions,
We are properly faithful to the objects of faith.
Thus the five holy favors regarding oneself are complete.

The Buddha has appeared and he has taught the Dharma.
Moreover, at this time the teachings still remain.
So that they may continue, people still follow them,
And others are treating us with kindness and concern.
These five favors are those that exist in regard to others.

Those were the eighteen kinds of being free and well favored.
On this auspicious occasion they are complete within us.
So strive from the heart, that liberation may be accomplished.

Manjusri: `` Noble Sir, one who stays in the fixed determination of the vision of the uncreated is not capable of conceiving the spirit of unexcelled perfect enlightenment. However, one who lives among created things, in the mines of passions, without seeing any truth, is indeed capable of conceiving the spirit of unexcelled perfect enlightenment.

Noble Sir, flowers like the blue lotus, the red lotus, the white lotus, the water lily, and the moon lily do not grow on the dry ground in the wilderness, but do grow in the swamps and mud banks. Just so, the Buddha-qualities do not grow in living beings certainly destined for the uncreated but do grow in those living beings who are like swamps and mud banks of passions. Likewise, as seed do not grow in those determined for the absolute but do grow in those who conceive the spirit of enlightenment, after having produced a Sumeru-like mountain of egoistic views

Noble Sir, through these considerations one can understand that all passions constitute the family of the Tathagatas . For example, Noble Sir, without going out into the great ocean , it is impossible to find precious, priceless peals . Likewise, without going into the ocean of passions, it is impossible to obtain the mind of omniscience.''-- Vimalakirit Sutra

" To escape birth and death
Develop the Bodhi-mind,
With deep Faith and Vows
Recite the Buddha"s name. ”

" Mind is the forerunner of (all evil) states. Mind is chief, mind- made are they. If one speaks or acts with wicked mind, because of that, suffering follows one, even as the wheel follows the hoof of the draught-ox. " 1-1 The Dhammapada
