English version: Having exhausted birth and death, no longer subject to existence, I praise and prostrate to the World Honored One who endures the world's suffering. Having obtained great power, unshakeable, dwelling well in fearlessness, discerning right from wrong; Settling countless beings, causing them to dwell in Bodhi, World Honored One, You dwell well, I praise and prostrate to You. Knowing all conditioned phenomena to be impermanent, abandoning family and attachments, resolutely leaving home to practice; Deeply knowing there is no higher enlightenment than Yours in the three realms, wisdom reaching the other shore, I praise and prostrate to You. Beings in suffering have no protection, You fulfill their needs with the Three Jewels (Triratna, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha); Placing them on the path without difficulties and dangers, truly saving the world, World Honored One, I bow my head to You. World Honored One, You cultivate the power of wisdom, knowing the faculties of beings, destroying the armies of Mara (demon); The sound of Your voice is most noble and wondrous, skillfully cultivating the faculties, I praise and prostrate to You. Hearing the Proper Dharma, with the desire for Dharma as the root, and with this desire for Dharma aspiring for Bodhi; Equally and universally covering, without discrimination, truly sheltering the beings of the world, I praise and prostrate to You. The Sugata (Tathagata, one of the ten titles of the Buddha) is self-awakened to all Dharmas, personally turning the unsurpassed Holy Dharma Wheel; Knowing the characteristics of all samskaras (conditioned phenomena) to be like dreams, enabling all beings to recognize the truth. At that time, the consorts of the Kinnara Raja (a type of non-human being) of the Great Tree, after praising the Buddha with verses, reported: 'World Honored One! We have all generated the unsurpassed Bodhi mind, but ultimately do not wish to attain anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (unexcelled complete enlightenment) in this female body. Excellent, World Honored One! May You preach the Dharma appropriately for us, so that we may transform our female bodies, obtain male bodies, and quickly attain the unsurpassed true path.' At that time, the World Honored One said to the consorts of the Kinnara Raja: 'Sisters! Listen carefully and contemplate well, I will explain to you how to transform the female body, attain the male body, and quickly obtain the unsurpassed true path.' 'Excellent, World Honored One! We respectfully listen to Your teachings.' The Buddha said: 'Sisters! A woman who accomplishes one Dharma practice can abandon the female form, obtain a male body, and quickly obtain the unsurpassed true path. What is the one Dharma practice? It is the Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment). Taking the mind seeking all wisdom as one mind, with the most excellent mind in all three realms, not forgetting the adornment of all good roots. Sisters! This is what a woman accomplishes.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
