韦驮菩萨:第二大愿
《悲华经》

[1] Seeing those destroying the precepts, encourage them to be transformed, to have peaceful abiding, for enabling abiding in upholding of the precepts.

[2] [Seeing] those far departing from right views and falling into all views, encourage them to be transformed, to have peaceful abiding, for enabling abiding in right views.

[3] [Seeing] those with scattered minds, encourage them to be transformed, to have peaceful abiding, for enabling abiding in concentrated minds.

[4] [Seeing] those without majestic conduct, encourage them to be transformed, to have peaceful abiding, for enabling abiding in noble majestic conduct.
