English version: Kneeling with the right shoulder and right knee on the ground, placing the Vajra palms together at the heart. Vajrapani (Bodhisattva's name) said to the World-Honored One: 'I have received the Tathagata's (another name for Buddha) teaching and command to go to the royal palace, to expound the Vajra Mahayana (Diamond Vehicle, the highest form of Buddhism) for the kings and others, as well as for the Shramanas (wandering ascetics) and Brahmins (priests), and even for all those who have generated Bodhicitta (the mind of enlightenment) and seek to learn the Vajra Mahayana, and to enable them to attain the Kshanti (acceptance) of the unproduced Dharmas (teachings) regarding the various Dharmas pertaining to the objects and actions of the senses (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind). World-Honored One, I now wish to request the Abhisheka (initiation) within the Tathagata's Vajra Mahayana Dharma for those disciples. May the Tathagata mercifully grant permission.' At that time, the Sun Pure Light Tathagata (Buddha's name), after looking to the left and right, emitted great light from his mouth. The light was of five colors and, in an instant, illuminated Buddha-lands as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River, reaching up to the Brahma world (the highest heaven in the realm of form). After illuminating in this way, the light quickly returned and entered the World-Honored One's mouth. At that time, all the Tathagatas in the Buddha-lands illuminated by the light praised, saying: 'This Vajra Mahayana encompasses all vehicles (forms of Buddhism), and so it is in the past, future, and present.' This Vajra Mahayana encompasses all vehicles. At that time, those disciples all received Abhisheka in the Vajra Mahayana. Having received Abhisheka, they all bowed with their heads and faces at the feet of the World-Honored One, the Sun Pure Light Tathagata, and Vajrapani Bodhisattva, circumambulated them a thousand times, joyfully praised them, and each returned to their original place. At that time, the Sun Pure Light Tathagata soon after entered Parinirvana (final nirvana). After the Buddha's Parinirvana, the Dharma (teachings) remained for a thousand years. At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva again went to Mount Mohinadra (mountain's name) and resided there. At that time, all the disciples of the Vajra Mahayana said to each other: 'Our root teacher (principal teacher), the Bodhisattva, is still dwelling on that mountain. We should go together to that mountain to serve and make offerings, and to cultivate all the activities of the Vajra Mahayana.' At that time, those disciples, including Shramanas and Brahmins, each carrying incense, flowers, and various offering implements, went together to the place of Vajrapani Bodhisattva on Mount Mohinadra. Having arrived at that mountain, they each offered incense, flowers, jewels, and other precious items, made offerings to the Bodhisattva, circumambulated and bowed, and stood gazing in reverence. Thereupon, the Bodhisattva, seeing that those disciples had all come to the mountain to draw near and make offerings, and that their resolve to cultivate the activities was firm, said to them: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The assembly said: 'Each of you, having heard the essential teachings of all Dharmas in my supreme Vajra Mahayana (Great Vehicle of the Diamond), has attained the forbearance of non-origination and reached the realm of Nirvana. Listen carefully. My teacher, Ri Qingjing Guangming Rulai (Tathagata of Pure Light of the Sun), has already entered Nirvana. Sentient beings have little merit and nothing to rely on. What I tell you, you should follow well. After the Buddha enters extinction, that Vajra Acarya (Vajra Master) will be your teacher. Why? Because that Acarya can protect the Buddhakṣetra (Buddha-field) and also protect the secret Vajra Dharma, and can speak the four-syllable name. This is the form of the Tathagata. You, the assembly, should always respect, bow to, and make offerings to that teacher, as if he were the Buddha. Then you will feel that all the Tathagatas are constantly protecting you, and you will see all the Tathagatas before you. You, the students, should always serve and provide for that teacher, and ensure that he lacks nothing in terms of sitting and sleeping arrangements, clothing, medicine, and all necessities. Although you are always serving nearby, you must not step on the teacher's shadow. All fellow students, regardless of closeness or distance, should be of one mind and equal. Good men, if there are students or other people who have no faith in the Vajra Acarya and the Vajra Mahayana students, and who generate evil thoughts and slander them, the karmic retribution for these people will be to fall into hell, the animal realm, and all evil realms. Why? Because all Dharmas arise from him. If someone slanders him, they are slandering the Dharma, and therefore receive this retribution. If there are sentient beings who have not yet ended the cycle of rebirth and come to seek learning, you should, according to their nature, expound the Vajra Mahayana for them, and lead them to enter Vajra Samadhi (Diamond Concentration).' Vajrapani Bodhisattva (Diamond Hand Bodhisattva) further said: 'This Vajra Mahayana is all the Tathagatas, and all the Tathagatas are great wisdom. If any of you students do not rely on Samadhi and violate my teachings, I will destroy you like ashes.' Then the Bodhisattva gave the students Vajra water to drink, and then formed the Great Wrathful Mudra (hand gesture) and placed it on the heads of the students. After blessing them, he said again: 'Children of the Buddha, your bodies are now held by the Vajra Samadhi. If anyone violates and does not obey, I will use my Vajra Samadhi Mudra and Wrathful Mudra to destroy them.' The Bodhisattva then, according to the Dharma of the previous Buddhas, bestowed empowerment upon the students, and recited the awakening mantra, causing them to... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
