English version: The Mudra of Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed, comes from the Thousand-Armed Sutra. This mudra can obtain great spiritual efficacy. With the two fires, two waters, and two earths, each with their backs joined together. The two winds stand upright and slightly bent, the two voids closely attached side by side. The second segment of the wind fingers is bent. Open the two wrists about five inches apart, and place them above the eyebrows. Recite this mantra: 'Om Sarva Chakshu Garaya Dhani Indriye Svaha (two combined)' This mudra can also be performed standing up with feet together. Universally use this Dharma mudra and personally verify it. The Bodhisattva receives this Dharma and obtains supernatural powers. All wishes will be fulfilled. Those who have not entered the mandala (maṇḍala, sacred enclosure) must not see this Dharma-door mantra and mudra, otherwise it will cause them to commit offenses. After the World Honored One and Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara) Bodhisattva finished speaking this Dharma. At this time, Bhagavan (Bhagavān, the World Honored One) looked upon the assembly and told Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva: 'You should entrust this Dharma to Vaiśravaṇa (Vaiśravaṇa), because he can uphold the Buddha-dharma.' Then, Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva told Vaiśravaṇa: 'You, Vaiśravaṇa, since the past, have generated the Bodhi mind and can uphold the Buddha-dharma. Therefore, the World Honored One and I entrust this supreme Dharma to you, and you should propagate and uphold it. Do not casually propagate it among those without wisdom.' 'Excellent! Excellent!' the World Honored One praised. At that time, Vaiśravaṇa reported to the Great Being: 'As instructed by Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, I will uphold this Dharma and not proclaim it among those without wisdom.' 'Why? Because those without wisdom have unclear minds. With unclear minds, they cannot comprehend the meaning of the Dharma. Unable to comprehend the meaning of the Dharma, they will instead generate doubt and slander.' 'Generating doubt will cause them to fall into hell and suffer great torment.' 'Therefore, I now follow the instructions of the Great Being and will not speak this Dharma among those without wisdom. Even so, in the Dharma-ending age, it should be transmitted. Even if someone slanders after hearing this Dharma, it is superior to making offerings to all the Tathagatas. How much more so for those who believe and practice it?' At that time, all the assembly, upon hearing this Dharma, obtained supreme positions and generated joy in their hearts. They arose from their seats, prostrated to the World Honored One and Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, and praised the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed (Sahasra-bhuja-locana) Bodhisattva, saying: 'Namo Sahasra (two combined) Pujaya (Homage to the Thousand Hands One) Sahasra (two combined) Jvala Nirte (two combined)' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
