BAG,
The "missing text for # 5" is apparently due to you somehow having
both omitted and then substituted enumeration. I quote from my Temple
Copy and ID
the omitted part.
Vow # 4: "I vow that as long as there is a single god who has not
accomplished
buddhahood, I too will not attain right enlightenment"
In somehow omitting this vow (# 4) you continued the numbering
assigning #6 to
# 5 slipping one digit from there onwards.
snip; 13. I vow that my spirit [??? if there is 'no self', what spirit is
he
speaking of here ???]
Vow 13 begins: "I vow to manifest innumerable bodies as a means to gain
acess
into the minds of living beings---"
Thanks for your post,
John
