Четыре клятвы

四弘誓願

[Basic Meaning:] four great vows of bodhisattvahood

The four universal vows of a Buddha or bodhisattva, which are found in many East Asian Mahāyāna works. The exact wording varies from text to text, but one standard formulation is this:
衆生無邊誓願度 to save all living beings without limit;
煩惱無數誓願斷 to put an end to all afflictions and delusions however numerous;
法門無盡誓願學 to study and learn all methods and means without end;
佛道無上誓願成 to become perfect in the supreme Buddha-law.
The four vows are considered as arising one by one out of the four noble truths 四諦. Also written as 四弘願, 四弘行願, 四弘願行, 四弘誓, 四弘. 〔摩訶止觀 T 1911.46.83c10〕 [cmuller ; source(s): Soothill]
