The Audience and Vows Liturgy 朝真发愿忏悔文

Anonymous author. It appears to have been compiled during the Ming Dynasty.

Consisting of one scroll, it is included in the Xu Daozang (Continued Taoist Canon).

This work is a ritual text for paying homage to divine true beings, repenting sins and making vows. Its ritual procedures include reciting the Incantation of the Three Karmas, offering incense prayers, praying to the Merit Ministers, invoking the sacred deities, reciting scriptures, repenting sins and making vows, and offering thanksgiving prayers. During the ritual, it invokes the Merciful Sovereign of the Divine Treasure, the True Emperors of the Nine Celestial Stations, the Golden Mother and the Wooden Father, the Sun, Moon and Stars, the Five Elders and Three Officials, the Four Sages and Four Ministers, and other deities to descend and respond to the supplications.

Those who perform the ritual pay homage to all deities, repent for their sins, pray for forgiveness of transgressions, resolution of karmic retributions, and rebirth into virtuous families.
