In 2006, I got the combined version of " The Practices and Vows of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva," The Avatamsaka Sutra and The Vajracchedika Prajnaparamita Sutra. I decided to transcribe and learn the Ten Great Practices and Vows of Samant abhadra Bodhisattva. They included, “First, respect at all Buddhas. Second, praise all Tathagatas. Third, broadly cultivate offering. Fourth, repent karmic of hindrances. Fifth, rejoice in virtuous deeds. Sixth, request the turning of the Dharma wheel. Seventh, request Buddhas to remain in the world. Eighth, constantly learn from Buddhas. Ninth, cater to sentient beings. Tenth, dedicate all virtuous deeds.” The great practices and vows were an attempt to cease the sufferings of all people through collective efforts. However, there really is no end to all the sufferings, and therefore the great actions and vows will never cease to exist either. Furthermore, this kind of mentality would continue to dominate, while actions and words will not cease either.
The act of writing on white paper to writing on black paper resembled how people are originally bright and awaken. Yet they fell into the sea of death and remain there forever because of ignorance and obsession. The act of writing on black paper to writing on white paper symbolizes a mirror which has been dust off, representing wisdom and a reflection of the world as it is. I have discovered that the act of “transcribing” sutras helps me concentrate in a way never before, while the influence of the act of transcribing is intense and mysterious. I would not have been able to experience any of these from just studying Western culture.
2006 年我請到一本《大方廣佛華嚴經．普賢行願品》及《金剛般若波羅蜜經》的合訂本。我決定抄寫並學習普賢菩薩發出十項行願，它們分別是：「一者、禮敬諸佛。二者、稱讚如來。三者、廣修供養。四者、懺悔業障。五者、隨喜功德。六者、請轉法輪。七者、請佛住世。八者、常隨佛學。九者、恒順眾生。十者、普皆回向。」他的行願以眾生、眾生業力、眾生煩惱的窮盡為盡頭，但眾生、乃至眾生的煩惱沒有所謂的窮盡之日，所以這些行願沒有終止的一天。並且，這樣的心念將持續不斷，身、語、意的作為也沒有疲勞倦怠。
我從白紙開始書寫至黑紙，象徵眾生本具覺性，但因為一念的無明，被妄想執著所綑綁，陷入生死海洋的輪迴；之後再從黑紙寫至白紙，意指猶如擦去灰塵的鏡子，終於以沒有錯誤的智慧，如實反照世界本來的樣子。我發覺長時間「抄寫」的這個行為，會帶給我一些不是因思考而得到的領悟與心靈的專注，它的影響是十分深化與神秘的，這些都不是學習西方文化能給我的影響與經驗。
