English version: 'Good Wisdom Ground' (the position where Bodhisattvas with good wisdom reside), 'Dharma Cloud Ground' (the position where Bodhisattvas' practice is complete, covering all sentient beings like Dharma clouds).

English version: To speak of all defiled dharmas (phenomena, teachings) is to obstruct the sacred path. To speak of equality is to attain fearlessness. Moreover, the Tathagata (Buddha) said thus: 'Cultivating all right practices can exhaust all suffering.' To speak of equality is to attain fearlessness. These four dharmas are all spoken truthfully, right in the middle of the right meaning, thus one is fearless. To dwell equally in all dharmas as illusory appearances, free from the nature of 'I' and 'mine'. This is called the teaching of fearless, equal Prajna Paramita (Perfection of Wisdom). The great mantra says: Om (one sentence) Ve (引) sha (引) ra [Ning*ye] (切身) Samata (引) Prati (二合引) Pata (二合) (two) A (three) A (引) (four) Am (引) (five) Ah (six) Furthermore, the four unimpeded eloquence are: unimpeded eloquence in words (the ability to correctly understand and use language), unimpeded eloquence in dharma (the ability to thoroughly understand the Dharma), unimpeded eloquence in meaning (the ability to deeply understand the meaning of the Dharma), and unimpeded eloquence in joyful speech (the ability to freely and joyfully preach the Dharma). These four qualities dwell in equal nature. This is called the teaching of unimpeded eloquence in Prajna Paramita, where all dharmas are like illusions. The great mantra says: Om (one sentence) Prati (二合) samvina (two) Svaha (入) (three) Hum (引) (four) Furthermore, the eighteen unshared dharmas (qualities unique to a Buddha) are: the Tathagata's body has no faults, speech has no faults, mind has no faults, there is no unfixed mind, no different thoughts, no unselective abandonment, desire (the wish to liberate sentient beings) does not diminish, diligence does not diminish, mindfulness does not diminish, wisdom does not diminish, liberation does not diminish, the knowledge and vision of liberation does not diminish, regarding the past, there is unimpeded and unattached knowledge and vision that turns freely, regarding the future, there is unimpeded and unattached knowledge and vision that turns freely, regarding the present, there is unimpeded and unattached knowledge and vision that turns freely, bodily actions follow wisdom, speech actions follow wisdom, and mental actions follow wisdom. These eighteen dharmas, the Tathagata dwells equally and skillfully in them at all times and in all places, and accordingly enters the empty nature of all dharmas, possessing the purity of great wisdom. This is called the teaching of equal Prajna Paramita of the unshared dharmas.

English version Ro(IAST transliteration with anusvara) Hum(IAST transliteration with anusvara) (4) Kang(IAST transliteration with anusvara) (5) At that time, all the Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones) who came from the ten directions, having heard the World Honored One, the Great Vairocana Buddha (Mahavairocana Buddha), proclaim the secret phrases of all dharmas, together praised and spoke the following gatha (verse): 'Excellent is the unsurpassed Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment), the victorious and self-existent state of all Tathagatas. Excellent is the supreme Dharma (law) of all Buddhas, which is the name of Samadhi (concentration). Excellent is the Vajra (diamond) vast wisdom, dwelling well in the Vajra firm mind. Excellent are the immeasurable gates of all dharmas, dwelling well in the pure supreme meaning. Well spoken are these secret phrases, from which all Tathagatas are born.' At that time, the World Honored One, the Great Vairocana Buddha, joyfully took refuge in all the Tathagatas, and also praised them with a gatha, saying: 'I take refuge and prostrate to all the Tathagatas, the pure Dharmakaya (Dharma body) of self and others. I first take refuge in the secret words, the powerful Vajra firm wisdom. The ultimate and peaceful essence of all dharmas, abiding in the Vajra Dharma-nature gate. Having attained the complete Mahayana (Great Vehicle) phrases, I take refuge in great compassion and great self-existence. Originally pure, greatly fearless, the supreme, the most victorious, the foremost. I faithfully pay homage to all the Sugatas (Well-gone Ones), the supreme Right Dharma and all its words. With the Dharma gate that has been proclaimed, I universally make offerings to all Buddhas.'
