English version I prostrate to the ocean of perfect enlightenment (正觉: Zhengjue, Perfect Enlightenment), the pure and unconditioned Dharma (净法: Jingfa, Pure Dharma; 无为: Wuwei, Unconditioned), and the Sangha (僧: Seng, monastic community). For those with profound wisdom, I will reveal the *Vyakhyana* (毗伽典: Pijia Dian, commentary or explanation of scriptures). I reverently salute Shakyamuni Buddha (祇虔牟尼尊: Qiqian Mouni Zun, respectful title for Shakyamuni Buddha), as well as all Bodhisattvas and Shravakas (菩萨: Pusa, beings who aspire to attain Buddhahood; 声闻: Shengwen, disciples who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings). In order to benefit oneself and others through the Dharma, I will briefly explain the *Nyaya* (勒伽辩: Lejia Bian, logical arguments or reasoning). I take refuge in the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past, present, and future, may they promote compassion, descend with divine power, and grant me fearlessness. May great compassion cease the four maras (四魔: Si Mo, the four demons: the skandha-mara, the klesha-mara, the death-mara, and the deva-mara), and protect the growth of Bodhi. Chapter 1: Introduction of the Wonderful Dharma Lotus Flower Sutra 'Thus have I heard: At one time, the Buddha was dwelling on Mount Gridhrakuta (耆阇崛山: Qishe Jue Shan, also known as Vulture Peak, where the Buddha often taught) in the city of Rajagriha (王舍城: Wangshe Cheng, ancient Indian city), together with twelve thousand great Bhikshus (比丘: Biqiu, fully ordained monks), all of whom were Arhats (阿罗汉: A Luohan, enlightened beings who have extinguished all defilements), their outflows exhausted, free from afflictions, their minds at ease, well liberated in mind, well liberated in wisdom, their minds well tamed, great dragons among men (大龙: Da Long, metaphor for those with great abilities), having done what was to be done, their tasks completed, freed from all burdens, having attained their own benefit, having exhausted all bonds, well liberated in mind with right knowledge, all their minds at ease, having reached the first shore (第一彼岸: Diyi Bi'an, the shore of Nirvana). There were also eighty thousand Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (菩萨摩诃萨: Pusa Mohesa, great Bodhisattvas), all of whom were irreversible from Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (阿耨多罗三藐三菩提: Anoutuoluo Sanmiao Sanputi, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment), all having attained Dharanis (陀罗尼: Tuoluoni, mantras that encapsulate the essence of teachings), great eloquence, delighting in speaking, turning the irreversible wheel of Dharma (法轮: Falun, the wheel of Dharma, symbolizing the Buddha's teachings), having made offerings to countless hundreds of thousands of Buddhas, having planted various roots of goodness in the presence of the Buddhas, constantly praised by the Buddhas, cultivating body and mind with great compassion, well entering the wisdom of the Buddha, thoroughly understanding great wisdom, having reached the other shore, their names universally heard in countless worlds, able to liberate countless hundreds of thousands of beings.' Explanation: The Dharma gate of this Sutra, the very first chapter, demonstrates the accomplishment of seven kinds of merits. This meaning should be understood. What are the seven? The first is the introduction. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
