The Revered Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: Vowing Eons of Selfless Sacrifice, Part 2 of 2

At that time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knelt down with clasped hands and spoke to Shakyamuni Buddha, “Honored of the World, if any sentient beings of the future have only one thought of respect for the Buddha’s Teachings, I shall endeavor to the utmost to relieve such people out of the sufferings of Birth and Death and lead them to Salvation by numberous ways and means.” Because of His infinite loving kindness, Ksitigarbha wants to save people from hell and the six realms. In his eyes, there are no people who have to be punished. Ksitigarbha forgives all people and leads all to the way of Nirvana to enjoy the bliss of Heaven.
