Praise to Weituo Pusa chant
Sravasti Abbey Monastics 
Chants from the Chinese Tradition 
Jul 1, 2023 Praise to Weituo Pusa done in the ceremonies to enter and conclude the annual monastic retreat (varsa).
Weituo, divine general, bodhisattva emanation,
Supports the Buddhadharma through his deep and vast vows.
Subduing Māra’s army with his treasured pestle,
His qualities and merits are incomparable.
May his actions be with our wishes.
Homage to Universal-eye Bodhisattva Mahāsattva
And to the great Prajñāpāramitā.
