Summary
s.1Calling Witness with a Hundred Prostrations is widely known as the first sūtra to arrive in Tibet, long before Tibet became a Buddhist nation, during the reign of the Tibetan king Lha Thothori Nyentsen. Written to be recited for personal practice, it opens with one hundred and eight prostrations and praises to the many buddhas of the ten directions and three times, to the twelve categories of scripture contained in the Tripiṭaka, to the bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and to the arhat disciples of the Buddha. After making offerings to them, confessing and purifying nonvirtue, and making the aspiration to perform virtuous actions in every life, the text includes recitations of the vows of refuge in the Three Jewels, and of generating the thought of enlightenment. The text concludes with a passage rejoicing in the virtues of the holy ones, a request for the buddhas to bestow a prophecy to achieve enlightenment, and the aspiration to pass from this life in a state of pure Dharma.
s.1《百禮召請證人》經廣為人知，是西藏最早傳入的經典，遠早於西藏成為佛教國家之前，時值西藏國王拉托托日年贊統治時期。這部經文是為個人修習而寫成的誦經文本，開篇以一百零八次頂禮和禮敬十方三時諸多佛陀、三藏所含的十二分教、十方菩薩以及佛陀的阿羅漢弟子們。在向他們供養、懺悔並淨化不善業，以及發願在每一世都行持善業之後，經文包含了皈依三寶的誓願和生起菩提心的誦文。經文最後以讚歎聖者功德的段落、恭請佛陀授記成就菩提的祈請，以及發願在此生圓滿時處於清淨法的狀態而作結。
