歸命本覺心法身常住妙法心蓮臺本來莊嚴三身徳三十七尊住心
城遠離因果法然具普門塵數諸三昧無邊徳海本圓滿還我頂禮心諸佛
In reverence for the root gnosis of the heart, the dharmakāya,
for the ever present good law of the heart, the lotus terrace,
for the inborn adornment of the trikāya, the thirty-seven sages dwelling in the heart,
for that which is removed from seed and fruit, the upright key to the universal gate,
for all boundless concentrations, the sea of virtue, the root perfection,
I prostrate, bowing to the hearts of all Buddhas.

Re: The Mahayana Is Not Diluted Theravada.
I have encountered Theravadans in books and other forums who are very hostile towards Mahayana,even calling the latter "Marayana",vehicle of the Devil.They say Mahayanists do not respect the historical Buddha.
To me,its like classical Newtonian physicists vilifying quantum mechanics.

Re: The Mahayana Is Not Diluted Theravada.
We need to respect all of Buddha’s teachings and those who practise them. The problem is there is infighting between traditions and disagreement about what Buddha taught.
