English version: Thinking of the darkened mind, it can bind all the wheels of suffering, enabling liberation. Furthermore, it can equally lead to Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption) and the great Bodhicitta (Bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment), with all the assemblies of Mudras (Mudra, symbolic gestures) gathering together. Buddha-lands as numerous as dust motes all descend upon the Mandala (Mandala, sacred diagram) altar, jointly performing Buddha-deeds. The verse says: ‘Wonderful are all the Buddhas, I am the firm Vajra Rope (Vajra Rope, symbolizing the power of binding and guiding). Even if entering all the dust motes, I can still lead them into this place.’ The meaning of the Rope has been explained, but the principle of restraint has not yet been implemented. Thereupon, Vairocana Buddha (Vairocana, the Buddha of universal light) emanates from within his heart the Vajra Lock Bodhisattva (Vajra Lock Bodhisattva). This Lock signifies the meaning of restraint, capable of closing all the gates of evil destinies, arising with great compassion, and offering protection to all sentient beings. It can bind all Mudras and the messengers of the Tathagatas (Tathagata, 'Thus Come One', an epithet of the Buddha), all of whom attain great Nirvana (Nirvana, enlightenment) through liberation. Furthermore, it causes the Tathagatas of the dust-mote-like sea of assemblies to abide in this altar, dwelling in the mind of Samadhi, and together with the Secret Adornment Buddha assembly, perform great Buddha-deeds. The verse says: ‘Wonderful are all the Buddhas, the great and firm Vajra Lock, binding for the sake of liberating those who are bound, binding for the benefit of sentient beings.’ Although possessing the meaning of the Lock and the function of restraint, it pervades both reason and wisdom but has not yet achieved complete and thorough understanding. Thereupon, Vairocana Buddha emanates from within his heart the Vajra Bell Bodhisattva (Vajra Bell Bodhisattva), holding the luminous chime and offering it. It emits immeasurable subtle sounds, and all the holy beings who hear it are filled with joy. The 'Ah' syllable seed of all the Buddhas can pervade the bodies and minds of all the Tathagatas, shining like a bright mirror, planting great wisdom in the fields of the bodies of immeasurable sentient beings, able to sacrifice oneself at the Buddhas' places and act as a servant, attending and making offerings, finding pleasure and joy in Samadhi. This is precisely the wondrous sound of the Vajra Bell Bodhisattva. The verse says: ‘Wonderful are all the Buddhas, I am the firm Vajra Entrance (Vajra Entrance, symbolizing the power of entering and merging), being the master of all, and also being the servant.’ This is the Samaya (Samaya, vow) of all the Tathagatas, which is to hook, summon, bind, and subdue. After forming the Samaya Mudra, it can cause practitioners to find pleasure and joy in the various Samadhi Buddha-nature seas of the heavens, thereby making offerings. Next, entering the offering method of the Five Tathagatas, that is, entering the visualization of Vairocana Buddha, forming the Mudra of the Universally Illuminating One as --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Vairocana and the Four Great Bodhisattvas, which are the same as the Five Tathagatas. Next, one should practice the offerings to the Sixteen Great Bodhisattvas. These Great Bodhisattvas, for the sake of offering, each hold the Mudra of their implements, placed on the various parts of the body, which can perform great Buddha deeds for the Tathagatas. First, Vajrasattva holds the Vajra Mudra of Five Wisdoms to represent the firm and courageous Bodhi mind.
