English version: If one practices the Prajñāpāramitā Samādhi (般若波罗蜜三摩地,Perfection of Wisdom Concentration), again, in the mind, visualize a complete moon disc, its size encompassing the entire Dharmadhātu (法界,Dharma Realm). Within the moon disc, visualize the 'Dhi' syllable (地字门,Dhi syllable), making it clear and distinct, its color like the white of a conch shell, and focus and abide on this. This is called Śamatha (奢摩他,Tranquility), which can gather all scattered minds and make them stable. Once the mind is stable, it corresponds with wisdom, contemplating the meaning of the 'Dhi' syllable (地字,Dhi), that is, the nature and phenomena of all dharmas are unobtainable like the Dharmadhātu (法界,Dharma Realm). This is called Vipaśyanā (毗钵舍那,Insight). Either corresponding with Samādhi (禅定,Concentration) or corresponding with wisdom, after prolonged and skillful practice, one can achieve the state of union of Samatha (奢摩他,Tranquility) and Vipaśyanā (毗钵舍那,Insight), the observer and the observed being equal and non-dual, the taker and the taken should all be abandoned. Constantly practice such contemplation, and in this life, one can enter the first Bhūmi (初地,first of the ten Bodhisattva stages, also known as Pramudita). After sixteen great kalpas, one can achieve Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (普贤菩萨,Universal Worthy Bodhisattva). Again, form the Mudrā (印,hand gesture) of the principal deity, and recite the Hundred Syllable Mantra. Re-form the Eight Offerings Mudrā (八供养印,Eight Offerings Hand Gesture), and hold the Arghya water (阏伽水,offering water). With the Vajra eye, look to the left to dissolve the boundary. Then form the Dharma Pāramitā Mudrā (法波罗蜜印,Dharma Perfection Hand Gesture), offer the holy assembly, and recite the Vajra Liberation Mantra, which is: 'Om (一) Kṛ (二合) ḍu va (入二) Sarva Sattva (二合引) ratha (二合引) Siddhi rada (二合) ta (三) Ya tha (引) nu ga (引四) gaccha (引) ḍhvaṃ (二合五) Buddha viṣayaṃ (六) Punar ā (引) ga (七) manāyantu (八) Om Vajra (二合) Khadga Sattva (二合) Mu' Again, use the Vajra Jewel Mudrā (金刚宝印,Vajra Jewel Hand Gesture) to perform the Abhiṣeka (灌顶,initiation), put on armor, and prostrate to the Five Dhyani Buddhas (五方佛,Five Meditation Buddhas). Then leave the Mandala (道场,sacred space), walk around at will, and read the Mahāyāna Sutras (大乘经典,Great Vehicle Sutras). Dedicate this supreme merit to all sentient beings, wishing them to quickly attain Prajñāpāramitā (般若波罗蜜,Perfection of Wisdom), Anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi (无上正等菩提,unsurpassed perfect enlightenment). Next, the merits of this Dharma will be described, which are very supreme and wonderful. The root mantra of Prajñāpāramitā (般若波罗蜜多,Perfection of Wisdom) is: 'Namo Bhagavate Prajñāpāramitāye Om Hrih Dhīh Śrīh Śruti Vijaye Svāhā' The Buddha said that this Dhāraṇī Mudrā (陀罗尼印,Dharani Hand Gesture) has four merits. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version This mantra is named Prajna Endless Treasury, also named Prajna Eye, also named Prajna Root, also named Vajra Prajna Heart. This Dharani seal has great merit. If one can sincerely uphold it according to the Dharma, each recitation will give rise to 18,000 Sutra treasuries (collections of scriptures). Moreover, in each Sutra, 25,000 Sutra treasuries are born. Moreover, in each Sutra, one million Sutra treasuries are born. Moreover, in each Sutra treasury, immeasurable hundreds of thousands of millions of Nayuta Asankhya Sutra treasuries are born. Like this, even to the extent of continuous transformation, immeasurable and endless Sutra treasuries appear in the world. The titles, phrases, meanings, and flavors of the scriptures that emerge are all different and do not repeat. Like this, endless births occur in every thought, therefore it is named the Endless Treasury Dharani Seal. This Dharani seal is the ancestor of all Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, and it is also the endless Dharma treasury of all Buddhas of the ten directions and three times. It is the mother of all Prajna Paramitas, and it is the object of constant offerings, reverence, and praise by Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past, present, and future. If good men and good women, with sincere hearts, write, recite, and practice as instructed, all the heavy sins of hundreds of thousands of millions of Ganges river sands kalpas of birth and death will be completely extinguished in an instant. The merits of this Dharani seal, even if I dwell for hundreds of thousands of millions of Asankhya kalpas, I cannot exhaust praising them, how much more so can others exhaust praising them? If one wishes to practice the Prajna Dharma, one needs to observe a one-meal fast, bathe with fragrant water, put on new and clean clothes, and enter the Bodhimanda (place of enlightenment). One must first recite this Dharani and form this mudra (seal) one million times, and then practice the remaining Prajna Dharma, and one will definitely achieve it. Therefore, it is named Prajna Root. This Dharani seal is fully capable of illuminating all Prajna Paramita Dharmas, therefore it is named Prajna Paramita Eye. This Dharani seal is fully capable of destroying all obstacles, and is fully capable of upholding all the merits of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, therefore it is named Vajra Prajna Heart.
