English version The Sutra of the Supreme Transcendence of the Three Realms from the Vajra Peak, on the Auspicious Appearance of the Five-Syllable Mantra of Manjushri No. 1172 The Sutra of the Supreme Transcendence of the Three Realms from the Vajra Peak, on the Auspicious Appearance of the Five-Syllable Mantra of Manjushri, One Volume Translated by the Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra of Daxingshan Temple, holding the titles of Grand Master of the State, Grand Preceptor of the Three Departments, Acting Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, Duke Su of the State of Zheng, enjoying a fief of three thousand households, bestowed with purple robes, posthumously awarded the title of Minister of Works, with the posthumous name 'Dajian' and the honorary title 'Greatly Wise', under imperial decree. At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the great being, Bodhisattva, who holds the vajra in his hand) and all the other Bodhisattvas, in the presence of Vairocana Buddha (the Buddha of pervasive light), each recited their own heart mantra and mudra. Thereupon, Manjushri Bodhisattva Mahasattva (the great being, Bodhisattva Manjushri) arose from his seat and said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One, I now, for the sake of benefiting all sentient beings in the future, so that they may quickly attain Maha Prajna Paramita (the great perfection of wisdom), if a person recites this mantra even once, it is like reciting the eighty-four thousand twelve sections of the Vedas. If they recite it twice, Manjushri (the Bodhisattva of Wisdom) and Samantabhadra (the Bodhisattva of Universal Goodness) will follow them, and the fourfold assembly will surround and bless them. Compassionate and fearless Dharma-protecting deities will be before that person.' Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha) asked Manjushri: 'When this mantra is recited, ten trillion Buddhas appear.' Like these Buddhas, from each pore of each Buddha emanate ten trillion Bodhisattvas, from each pore of each Bodhisattva emanate ten trillion Dragon Kings, from each pore of each Dragon King emanate ten trillion Dragon Maidens, from each pore of each Dragon Maiden emanate ten trillion blue elephants, from each pore of each blue elephant emanate ten trillion white elephants, from each pore of each white elephant emanate ten trillion fragrant elephants, from each pore of each fragrant elephant emanate ten trillion mountain elephants, from each pore of each mountain elephant appear ten trillion jeweled palaces, and from each jeweled palace appear ten trillion pools of water with eight qualities of merit. These pools are made of the four precious substances, and each pool emits ten trillion rays of Jambudvipa gold light. Moreover, within each ray of light appear ten trillion orbs of light, and each orb of light transforms into ten trillion celestial maidens, holding various offerings with reverence. Thus, countless as the sands of the Ganges River, the fourfold assembly gathers together at once, reciting this mantra in unison, manifesting Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness) threefold.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Now I will briefly say a little. Know that its merits are immeasurable. I will now speak the five-syllable mantra, which is: Arapacana (Manjusri Bodhisattva's heart mantra) If a good man or good woman is able to uphold this mantra, just reciting it once will enter the equality of all dharmas of the Tathagata (如来), and all letters are also equal. One will quickly attain Maha-prajna (大智慧). When transmitting this heart mantra to disciples, have them form the secret mudra. Use both hands to form the Vajra-bandha mudra (金刚缚印), and erect the forbearance and wish fingers, bending the upper joints like a sword shape. Use the mudra to receive flowers and scatter them as offerings on the altar. Then you should tell them that this heart dharma gate is the most secret and supreme of all Tathagatas, and be careful not to lightly speak it to foolish people, lest you break your Samaya (三昧戒) vow. Think about it carefully. The syllable A (阿) means unborn. The syllable Ra (啰) means pure, unblemished, and free from dust. The syllable Pa (跛) also means without the ultimate truth, and the equality of all dharmas. The syllable Ca (左) means that all dharmas have no actions. The syllable Na (曩) means that all dharmas have no inherent nature or characteristics, and that words are unobtainable. Because the syllable Na has no inherent nature or characteristics, the syllable Ca has no actions. Because the syllable Ca has no actions, the syllable Pa has no ultimate truth. Because the syllable Pa has no ultimate truth, the syllable Ra has no dust. Because the syllable Ra has no dust, the syllable A means that the dharma is fundamentally unborn. Good man, you should contemplate that this mind is originally pure, without defilement, and free from the distinctions of 'I' and 'mine'. Entering this gate is called Samadhi (三摩地). This is true practice. You should know that this person is approved by the Tathagata, and their supreme merits are inconceivable. If recited once, it can remove all the sufferings of the practitioner. If recited twice, it can eradicate the heavy sins of countless kalpas of birth and death. If recited three times, Samadhi will manifest. If recited four times, one will attain total retention and not forget. If recited five times, one will quickly attain Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (无上菩提). If one can single-mindedly dwell in a quiet place, write the five-syllable wheel mandala in Sanskrit, and recite it according to the Dharma for a full month, Manjusri Bodhisattva (曼殊菩萨) will manifest his body, or expound the Dharma in the air. At this time, the practitioner will obtain knowledge of past lives, unimpeded eloquence, supernatural powers, and the fulfillment of supreme wishes, possessing both merit and wisdom, and will quickly be able to... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

阶证如来法身。但心信受。经十六生决成正觉。若力不办建立坛场。香花供养及画本尊。以用香泥涂舍利塔。梵写五字真言。旋绕念诵五十万遍。文殊菩萨现其人前而为说法。当得宿命辩才。一切如来诸菩萨等。及执金刚恒沙圣众。常加护念速满诸愿。疾证菩提。广如金刚顶经说。 金刚顶超胜三界经说文殊五字真言胜相一卷 现代汉语译本： 为了证明如来的法身，只要内心相信并接受，经过十六次转生必定成就正觉（Samyak-saṃbuddha，正等觉）。如果能力不足以建立坛场，用香花供养以及绘制本尊（Iṣṭa-deva，个人崇拜的神祇）像，可以用香泥涂抹舍利塔（Śarīra，佛陀或圣人的遗物），用梵文书写五字真言（Pañcākṣarī，五字咒），旋转念诵五十万遍，文殊菩萨（Mañjuśrī，智慧的菩萨）就会显现在这个人面前并为他说法。当获得宿命的智慧和辩才，一切如来（Tathāgata，佛陀的称号）、诸菩萨（Bodhisattva，追求觉悟的圣者）等，以及手持金刚杵的恒河沙数圣众，常常加以护念，迅速满足各种愿望，快速证得菩提（Bodhi，觉悟）。详细内容如《金刚顶经》（Vajraśekhara Sūtra）所说。 《金刚顶超胜三界经》讲述了文殊五字真言殊胜功德的一卷。

English version: To attest to the Dharmakāya (Dharmakāya, the body of the Dharma) of the Tathāgata (Tathāgata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), simply believe and accept it in your heart, and after sixteen rebirths, you will surely attain Samyak-saṃbuddha (Samyak-saṃbuddha, Perfect Enlightenment). If you lack the ability to establish a mandala (Maṇḍala, a symbolic diagram), offer fragrant flowers and draw the image of your Iṣṭa-deva (Iṣṭa-deva, chosen deity), you can use fragrant mud to coat the Stupa (Śarīra, relics) containing Śarīra (Śarīra, relics of the Buddha or saints), write the five-syllable mantra (Pañcākṣarī, five-syllable mantra) in Sanskrit, and circumambulate while reciting it five hundred thousand times. Mañjuśrī Bodhisattva (Mañjuśrī, the Bodhisattva of wisdom) will appear before that person and expound the Dharma. You will then obtain wisdom and eloquence regarding past lives. All Tathāgatas (Tathāgata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva, an enlightened being) and other beings, as well as the countless holy beings holding Vajras (Vajra, a ritual weapon symbolizing indestructibility) like the sands of the Ganges River, will constantly protect and support you, quickly fulfilling all your wishes and swiftly attaining Bodhi (Bodhi, enlightenment). This is explained in detail in the Vajraśekhara Sūtra (Vajraśekhara Sūtra, Diamond Peak Sutra). The Vajraśekhara-atisamvara-trailokya Sūtra speaks of one fascicle on the superior aspects of the Mañjuśrī five-syllable mantra. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
