English version: The shape of the Great Wisdom Seal of Vajra Wheel Bodhisattva is the Vajra Samaya Mind, which is the syllable 'Hūṃ'. The syllable 'Hūṃ' contains the meaning of the four wheels. If one practices the Samadhi of Vajra Wheel Bodhisattva, one should establish a Mandala, drawing the shape of an eight-spoked wheel. In the center of the wheel, draw Vajra Wheel Bodhisattva. Between the eight spokes, draw the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, arranged as before. In the four corners outside the eight wheels, draw the Four Paramita Bodhisattvas. In the four corners of the inner courtyard, place the Four Inner Offerings. In the four corners of the outer courtyard, place the Four Outer Offerings. In the four doors separated inside, place the Four Bodhisattvas. The east door is Vajrasattva Bodhisattva, the south door is Trailokyavijaya, the west door is Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and the north door is Ākāśagarbha. If a yogi violates the Samaya vows, or if an Ācārya (teacher) loses his position due to illegal conduct, by establishing this wheel altar, he can restore his original Ācārya position. By practicing all Samadhi mantras, one can quickly achieve accomplishment. If one leads disciples into it, or enters it oneself, one enters all worldly and transworldly Mandalas. Sometimes the Yoga Ācārya sits in the altar himself, mentally arranging all the holy assembly, and invites the holy assembly with the Four Syllable Vidyā, then recites the One Syllable Mantra, and then recites the Prajñāpāramitā principles of the Four Wheels, mentally pervading the entire Dharma Realm. Before long, one will become a Dharma King who turns the wheel, like Vairocana Buddha (the above is from the chapter on the principles of the Bodhisattva who has just aroused the intention). At that time, the Bhagavan (World Honored One), all the Tathagatas, offered to the Tathagata with the vast ceremony of various offering treasuries. This Tathagata is another name for Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva. He also expounded the most supreme birth Prajñāpāramitā principles of all offerings, namely, that arousing Bodhicitta is the greatest offering to all Tathagatas. This is the meaning of the Bodhicitta of the Samadhi of Vajra Play Bodhisattva. All Tathagatas take Bodhicitta as the supreme condition for attaining Buddhahood, rejoice in the Dharma garden of Bodhicitta, and enjoy themselves with Prajñāpāramitā, and saving all sentient beings is the greatest offering to all Tathagatas. This is the Samadhi of Vajra Garland Bodhisattva. Through pure faith, one enters the ocean of the Buddha Dharma, obtains the seven-jeweled wish-fulfilling garland, saves all sentient beings, fulfills all desired wishes, and causes all sentient beings to receive various precepts to adorn themselves. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Holding and upholding the wonderful scriptures is equivalent to making vast offerings to all Tathagatas (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha). This is the Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption) of Vajra-gita Bodhisattva (Vajra-gita Bodhisattva, Vajra Song Bodhisattva). Through this Samadhi, within the Buddha's teachings, one can question and answer everything about the profound Prajnaparamita (Prajnaparamita, Perfection of Wisdom) of the Mahayana (Mahayana, 'Great Vehicle', a major branch of Buddhism). To hold, recite, personally write, teach others to write, contemplate, cultivate, and make various offerings to the Prajnaparamita is equivalent to making vast offerings to all Tathagatas. This is the Samadhi of Vajra-nrtya-puja Bodhisattva (Vajra-nrtya-puja Bodhisattva, Vajra Dance Offering Bodhisattva). Through great diligence, with the liberating wisdom of Vajra-vishvakarman (Vajra-vishvakarman, the Vajra realm creator), one travels throughout boundless worlds, makes vast offerings before all Buddhas, and requests the teaching of all Buddhist doctrines, Prajnaparamita, and various Sutras (Sutra, discourses of the Buddha). With ten kinds of Dharma practices, one quickly accumulates the two kinds of resources: merit and wisdom, and attains the three bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya). This Bodhisattva is the master of all offering gates. There are many kinds of offering gates. According to the Susiddhi Tantra (Susiddhi Tantra), there are five kinds of offerings. There are also twenty kinds of offerings. In the Yoga Tantra (Yoga Tantra), there are four kinds of offerings, namely, Bodhicitta offering, resource offering, Dharma offering, and Karma offering, as described in the previous four rational principle gates (the four rational principles of Prajna). There are also five kinds of secret offerings, eight kinds of offerings, sixteen kinds of great offerings, and seventeen six kinds of miscellaneous offerings, and all offerings are included in the Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, Treasury of Space Bodhisattva) offering ritual. If a practitioner wishes to attain Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, they should establish a Mandala (Mandala, sacred diagram). In the center, draw Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, holding a karma-vajra (karma-vajra, action vajra) in the right hand, making the Vajra fist with the left hand, pressing it on the left hip, sitting in a half-lotus position within a moon disc. Eight great Bodhisattvas surround him. Place eight offerings in the four corners inside and outside. The four gates should be adorned with four kinds of treasures: silver at the east gate, gold at the south gate, mani-ratna (mani-ratna, wish-fulfilling jewel) at the west gate, and pearls at the north gate. Or, the practitioner sits in the Mandala, performs the yoga visualization of themselves as the principal deity, surrounded by the holy assembly, invokes with the four-syllable mantra, and holds the one-syllable true word, then recites the four rational principles of Prajna, directing the mind throughout the Dharma realm, repeatedly, until the Samadhi manifests. If one enters the Mandala oneself and allows others to enter this Mandala, then one should receive and hold the one-syllable true word. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

或加香花等种种供养具。若能运心供养佛菩萨。则供养具遍周法界。一一佛菩萨前成广大供养。时虚空库大菩萨欲重显明此义故熙怡微笑。说此一切事业不空三昧耶一切金刚心者。如前已释。心真言者唵字是也。唵字三身义。亦名无见顶上义。亦名本不生义。亦是如来毫相功德义(已上虚空库菩萨理趣品)。   时薄伽梵者如前所释。能调伏持智拳如来。摧一切魔菩萨之异名也。或说一切调伏智藏般若理趣。所谓一切有情平等故忿怒平等者。是金刚降三世三摩地。由此定调伏他化自在魔王。受化引入佛道。一切有情调伏故忿怒调伏。此是宝部中宝金刚忿怒三摩地。由此定能调伏摩醯首罗。受化入于佛道也。一切有情法性故忿怒法性者。此是莲华部中马头忿怒观自在三摩地。由此定调伏梵天。受化入于佛道。一切有情金刚性故忿怒金刚性者。此是羯磨部中羯磨三摩地。由此定调伏那罗延。受化令入佛道也。何以故一切有情调伏即为菩提者。本是慈氏菩萨。由此菩萨内入慈定。深矜愍难调诸天。外示威猛令得受化。引入菩提。时摧一切魔大菩萨欲重显明此义故熙怡微笑以金刚药叉形持金刚牙恐怖一切如来者。一切外道诸天。悉具如来藏。是未来佛。令舍邪归正故。名恐怖一切如来。如来者离五怖得四无所畏。无能怖者 现代汉语译本: 或者加上香、花等各种供养品。如果能够用心供养佛菩萨,那么供养品就会遍布整个法界,在每一位佛菩萨面前都成为广大的供养。当时,虚空库大菩萨想要再次显明这个道理,所以喜悦地微笑,说这个一切事业不空三昧耶,一切金刚心,如同前面已经解释的。心真言就是唵字。唵字具有三身之义,也称为无见顶上之义,也称为本不生之义,也是如来眉间白毫相的功德之义(以上出自虚空库菩萨理趣品)。 当时,薄伽梵(Bhagavan,世尊)如同前面所解释的,能调伏持智拳如来(能调伏持智拳如来),是摧一切魔菩萨(摧一切魔菩萨)的异名。或者说一切调伏智藏般若理趣,所谓一切有情平等,所以忿怒平等,这是金刚降三世三摩地(Vajrakilaya Samadhi)。通过这个禅定,调伏他化自在魔王(Paranirmita-vasavartin),使其接受教化,引入佛道。一切有情调伏,所以忿怒调伏,这是宝部中的宝金刚忿怒三摩地(Ratnaketu Vajrakrodha Samadhi)。通过这个禅定,能够调伏摩醯首罗(Maheshvara),使其接受教化,进入佛道。一切有情法性,所以忿怒法性,这是莲华部中马头忿怒观自在三摩地(Hayagriva Avalokiteshvara Samadhi)。通过这个禅定,调伏梵天(Brahma),使其接受教化,进入佛道。一切有情金刚性,所以忿怒金刚性,这是羯磨部中羯磨三摩地(Karma Samadhi)。通过这个禅定,调伏那罗延(Narayana),使其接受教化,使其进入佛道。为什么呢?因为一切有情调伏就是菩提(Bodhi)。本来是慈氏菩萨(Maitreya),这位菩萨进入慈定,深深怜悯难以调伏的诸天,外现威猛,使他们接受教化,引入菩提。当时,摧一切魔大菩萨(摧一切魔大菩萨)想要再次显明这个道理,所以喜悦地微笑,以金刚药叉(Vajrayaksha)的形象,手持金刚牙,恐怖一切如来。一切外道诸天,都具有如来藏(Tathagatagarbha),是未来的佛,让他们舍弃邪道,归于正道,所以名为恐怖一切如来。如来(Tathagata)脱离五种怖畏,得到四无所畏,没有能够使之恐惧的。
