English

English version: If one practices this state of mind, there is nothing that cannot be transcended from the world. The minds of all Buddhas of the past, future, and present, as well as Bodhisattvas, and the bodies of all devas (gods), Even the lowest, ignorant common people, if they can maintain this mind of mine, Will quickly attain Anutpattika-dharma-kshanti (the patient acceptance of the non-arising of all dharmas), and will no longer dwell in this world. Bodhisattvas, Śrāvakas (disciples who attain enlightenment through hearing the Dharma), and the remaining four stages of Arhats, Up to all the Buddhas, none are not born from this mind. Maintaining precepts is perfected, and giving (Dāna) receives its reward, Keeping this thought constantly without regression, in every place of rebirth, Always joyfully encountering the Dharma, and all the teachings spoken, Are all the wisdom of the Buddha's mind, and every thought receives its karmic reward, All of this is also born from this mind. Every Tathāgata (one of the titles of a Buddha), Speaks of immeasurable and endless Dharma, and every Buddha's divine power, Also has immeasurable directions, and in every direction, There are immeasurable Buddhas, and every Buddha's divine feet, All arise from the Buddha's mind, and in every Buddha's mind, Is absorbed the core of the mind. Such a core of the mind, Speaks of the Buddha's indescribable realm, and every indescribable realm, Is also born from this mind. The world and the non-world, The transcendent and the non-transcendent, skillful means of various kinds, Speech and various records, secret Dhāraṇīs (mantras), The samādhi (meditative state) of freely knowing others' minds, the wisdom of the past and present, The fruits that can be attained in the future, these are also born from this mind. Demon kings, Chakravartins (wheel-turning kings), Brahmā (creator god), and the自在devas, All powerful deities are transformed from the Buddha's mind. Evil arts and righteous seals, can be distinguished upon seeing and hearing, Such is the power of the sacred mind, widely reaching all realms, These are also born from this mind. The Tathāgata seals all paths, Subdues demons, liberates non-human beings, performs miraculous transformations and attains freedom, Observes and enters various extraordinary realms, cuts off the bonds of suffering for all beings, Shakes all worlds, observes and enters into oneness, Great compassion fills the ten directions, these are also born from this mind. All sentient beings, planting various meritorious deeds, Whether mature or immature, the wisdom of freely knowing others' minds, Decides the place of rebirth, pervading all ten directions, All sentient beings, hearing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 音皆信佛  是广长舌相  斯亦由是生  十方诸国土  天上及下方  乃至万刹土  一一刹土中  皆有万世界  众生不可量  闻音皆信佛  如是舌相等  斯亦由是生  光音遍净天  或及非世界  有形无形等  俱能含佛性  有流及无光  虚空影响类  堕形中叐中  承佛即归念  不信及阐提  斯法不断等  俱得因缘者  如是诸众生  承光得离世  此亦由是生  下愚凡夫等  能持佛心咒  即同佛心地  具六波罗蜜  当获大神通  遍照诸佛界  即具六神通  所说如诸佛  举足及下足  皆得大神变  是语及非语  问悉一音同  纵是佛非身  所说佛正智  凡夫及圣行  发念等菩提  一切果位中  皆是佛心力

English version Hearing the Buddha's voice, all generate faith. This broad and long tongue is also born from this. In the ten directions of all lands, above and below, even in countless Buddha-lands, in each Buddha-land, there are myriad worlds, and the number of sentient beings is immeasurable. Hearing the Buddha's voice, all generate faith. Such a tongue and other excellent marks are also born from this. The Heaven of Streaming Light and Purity, or even non-material worlds, beings with or without form, all can contain Buddha-nature, with or without light streams, like empty space and reflections, in fallen forms or intermediate states. Receiving the Buddha's light, they return to right mindfulness. Those who do not believe and the icchantikas (those who have severed their roots of goodness), this Dharma is not cut off, and they can all obtain causes and conditions. Such sentient beings, receiving the light of the Buddha, are able to leave the world. This is also born from this. The foolish common people, able to uphold the Buddha's heart mantra, are equal to the Buddha's mind-ground, possessing the six pāramitās (six perfections), they will obtain great superknowledges. The light shines throughout the Buddha-realms, possessing the six superknowledges (six kinds of supernatural powers). What is said is like the Buddhas, raising and lowering their feet, all obtain great transformations. Speech and non-speech, questions are all answered with one sound. Even if it is a manifested body of the Buddha, what is spoken is the Buddha's right wisdom. The actions of common people and sages, generating thoughts equal to bodhi (enlightenment), in all fruition positions, are all the power of the Buddha's mind. The Buddha told Ānanda (Ananda): 'This verse of mine is like a flower in the sky. By the Buddha's divine power, it immediately dwells in the empty space, forming a Bodhisattva canopy.' Beneath this canopy, there are hundreds of billions of Ganges sand (Ganges sand) nayutas (nayuta), unspeakable, unspeakable worlds, immeasurable manifested Buddhas. There are also such unspeakable amounts of Dharmakāya Buddhas (Dharmakāya Buddha). There are also unspeakable amounts of Saṃbhogakāya Buddhas (Saṃbhogakāya Buddha). Each Buddha's retinue is led by Bodhisattvas. There are also unspeakable amounts of Bodhisattvas, each Bodhisattva having immeasurable retinues, all being teachers who guide people, all being Bodhisattvas of the Third Ground, Fourth Ground, and Eighth Ground, etc., surrounding them. Such Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Śrāvakas (Śrāvaka), Pratyekabuddhas (Pratyekabuddha), Arhats of the Four Fruits, all the gods and immortals, the Four Heavenly Kings (Four Heavenly Kings) of countless worlds, Brahmā (Brahmā), Indra (Indra), and Asuras (Asura), and all Rakshasas (Rakshasa), Yakshas (Yaksa), and multitudes of ghosts and spirits, all with great power and virtue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

者大神通者。大护念者大慈悲者大自在者。皆共围绕此盖。持心不退受佛中心法。其时即有大不可说不可说数地神。各持一千叶莲华。承此如上持咒人足。游腾十方现光明身。其光皆现紫磨黄金色。一一众生见此光者。即断有流得入佛定即见大千世界所起因缘所作事业。皆悉明了无不获果。其时阿难以偈叹佛。  善哉我师释迦文  一音遍了大千界  以一微音度脱了  众生身分不觉知  善哉如来自在光  是臭非臭皆照触  自心涌出甘露水  灌洗得净不觉知  善哉无畏自在心  能以无畏怖诸虎  野象毒龙皆自伏  自然生慈不觉知  善哉无畏神通王  出语大千皆震动  动以自然来归伏  伏以其心不觉知  善哉无量慈悲心  能以慈悲流诸趣  一切德慈修佛法  所修慈者不觉知  善哉无量善藏王  广付善哉与众生  所持善者得善定  持善之人不觉知  善哉无量宝幢王  将此幢光阴世界  众生蒙咒脱苦缚  得离苦者不觉知  善哉无量大法树  能与大千作阴凉  所有住阴离热恼  得离恼者不觉知  善哉无量大法镜  照破一切黑冥暗  得明心中出智慧  具智慧者不觉知  善哉如来一音声  所闻持者得一味  如是一味遍众生  尔乃名为大慈悲 现代汉语译本: 那些大神通者、大护念者、大慈悲者、大自在者,都共同围绕着这个宝盖,以坚定不移的心接受佛陀的心中心法。那时,就有无数不可说不可说的地神,各自拿着一千叶莲花,承托着如上持咒人的双足,在十方游动显现光明之身。他们的光芒都呈现出紫磨黄金色。每一个众生见到这种光芒,就能断绝有漏,进入佛定,就能明白大千世界所生起的原因和所作的事业,都能清楚明了,没有不得果报的。那时,阿难(Ananda)以偈颂赞叹佛陀: ‘善哉,我的老师释迦文(Sakyamuni), 用一个声音遍布了大千世界。 用一个微小的声音度脱了 众生的身分,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,如来(Tathagata)自在的光芒, 无论是臭的还是不臭的都能照耀触及。 从自心中涌出甘露水, 灌洗得清净,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无畏自在的心, 能够用无畏来威慑诸虎, 野象和毒龙都会自己降伏, 自然而然地生起慈悲心,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无畏神通之王, 说出的话语让大千世界都震动, 震动之后自然来归顺, 归顺是因为他们的内心,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无量的慈悲心, 能够用慈悲流向各个趣向, 一切德行慈悲都用来修行佛法, 所修的慈悲,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无量的善藏之王, 广泛地将善给予众生, 所持有的善能得到善定, 持有善的人却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无量的宝幢之王, 将这宝幢的光芒照耀阴暗世界, 众生蒙受咒语的加持脱离痛苦的束缚, 得以脱离痛苦,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无量的大法树, 能够为大千世界带来阴凉, 所有住在阴凉下远离热恼的众生, 得以脱离烦恼,却不让他们觉察。 善哉,无量的大法镜, 照破一切黑暗和幽暗, 在明亮的心中生出智慧, 具备智慧的人却不让他们觉察。 善哉,如来(Tathagata)的一个音声, 所听闻并受持的人能得到一种味道, 像这样一种味道遍布众生, 这才叫做大慈悲。’

English version: Those with great supernatural powers, great protectors, great compassionate ones, and great self-masters all surround this canopy, holding steadfastly to the Buddha's central Dharma with unwavering minds. At that time, there will be countless, unspeakable numbers of earth deities, each holding a thousand-petaled lotus flower, supporting the feet of the mantra-reciting person as described above, traveling and ascending in the ten directions, manifesting bodies of light. Their light will all appear in the color of purple-tinged gold. Every sentient being who sees this light will cut off the flow of existence, enter into the Buddha's samadhi, and understand the causes and conditions of the arising of the great thousand world and the deeds performed within it. All will be clearly understood, and none will fail to attain the fruit. At that time, Ananda (释迦文) praised the Buddha in verse: 'Excellent, my teacher, Sakyamuni (释迦文), With one sound, you pervade the great thousand world. With one subtle sound, you deliver Sentient beings from their identities, without their awareness. Excellent, the Tathagata's (如来) light of self-mastery, Illuminates and touches both the foul and the non-foul. From your own heart springs forth the nectar of immortality, Cleansing and purifying without their awareness. Excellent, the fearless heart of self-mastery, Able to intimidate tigers with fearlessness, Wild elephants and poisonous dragons all subdue themselves, Naturally giving rise to compassion without their awareness. Excellent, the fearless king of supernatural powers, Your words shake the great thousand world, Shaking it into natural submission, Submitting through their hearts without their awareness. Excellent, the immeasurable heart of compassion, Able to flow with compassion to all destinies, All virtuous compassion is used to cultivate the Buddha Dharma, The compassion cultivated without their awareness. Excellent, the immeasurable king of the treasury of goodness, Widely bestowing goodness upon sentient beings, Those who hold goodness attain good samadhi, Those who hold goodness are unaware. Excellent, the immeasurable king of the jeweled banner, Taking this banner's light to illuminate the world of darkness, Sentient beings, blessed by the mantra, escape the bonds of suffering, Those who escape suffering are unaware. Excellent, the immeasurable great Dharma tree, Able to provide shade for the great thousand world, All who dwell in the shade, free from heat and vexation, Those who are freed from vexation are unaware. Excellent, the immeasurable great Dharma mirror, Illuminating and shattering all darkness and obscurity, From the bright heart springs forth wisdom, Those who possess wisdom are unaware. Excellent, the Tathagata's (如来) one sound, Those who hear and hold it attain one flavor, This one flavor pervades all sentient beings, And that is called great compassion.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 我今下愚凡夫智  若欲叹佛无穷尽  具以微心少叹耳  愿佛慈悲纳受之
