English version: Sudhana went to Bhadra (a Bodhisattva), bowed at his feet, circumambulated him, and stood respectfully to one side with his palms joined, saying: 'O Sage! I have already aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (the mind of unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), but I do not yet know how a Bodhisattva should learn the practice of a Bodhisattva and cultivate the path of a Bodhisattva? I have heard that you, O Sage, are skilled in guiding and teaching, and I wish you would explain it to me.' Bhadra replied: 'Good man! There is a boy here named 'Skilled in All Arts', who has studied the wisdom of the Bodhisattva's letters. You can ask him, and he will explain it to you.' At that time, Sudhana immediately went to him, bowed his head in reverence, stood to one side, and said: 'O Sage! I have already aroused the mind of Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, but I do not yet know how a Bodhisattva should learn the practice of a Bodhisattva and cultivate the path of a Bodhisattva? I have heard that you, O Sage, are skilled in guiding and teaching, and I wish you would explain it to me.' Then, that boy said to Sudhana: 'Good man! I have attained a Bodhisattva's liberation, called 'Skilled in All Arts'. I constantly chant and hold the fundamental letters that lead to this liberation. When chanting the letter 'A', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita (perfection of wisdom), called the separate realms of the Bodhisattva's majestic power; when chanting the letter 'Ra', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the supreme boundless state of equality and oneness; when chanting the letter 'Pa', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the non-different aspect of the Dharma realm; when chanting the letter 'Cha', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the universal wheel that cuts off distinctions; when chanting the letter 'Da', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the attainment of the unreliant and unsurpassed; when chanting the letter 'La', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the stainless state of being free from reliance; when chanting the letter 'Tsa', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the practice of non-retrogression; when chanting the letter 'Bha', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the Vajra field; when chanting the letter 'Dha', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the universal wheel; when chanting the letter 'Sha', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the ocean treasury; when chanting the letter 'Tha', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the universal arising and abiding; when chanting the letter 'Na', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the perfect light; when chanting the letter 'Ya', one enters the gate of Prajna-paramita, called the accumulation of distinctions;' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
