English version Nirvana Heart Always attain the Samadhi (a state of mental concentration) of the mind, achieving joy and harmony. Constantly abide in the world, unpolluted by worldly dharmas. Attain the place of pure nectar, thus being free from all demons. All Buddhas are fundamentally unborn, inherently tranquil. Because they are constant and reliable, it is said to take refuge in me. The first seven metaphors illustrate the permanence of the Tathagata's (如来,Buddha) Rupakaya (色身,form body). The latter three metaphors illustrate the permanence of the Sugata's (善逝,Buddha) Dharmakaya (法身,dharma body). What is the meaning of this verse? All Buddhas and Tathagatas, relying on the Dharmakaya, attain the unsurpassed body. This should be understood as inconceivable. Because of this inconceivability, two verses are spoken. Not expressible by language, encompassed by the Paramārtha-satya (第一义谛,ultimate truth). Beyond the realm of perception and observation, with no metaphors to describe it. The supreme and wondrous Dharma does not grasp at conditioned Nirvana (涅槃,liberation). Not knowable by the Three Vehicles, it is solely the realm of the Buddha. These two lines of verse should be understood as briefly explained by five lines of verse. The verse says: Inconceivable, because it is apart from the characteristic of language. Being apart from the characteristic of language, it is encompassed by the ultimate truth. Being encompassed by the ultimate truth, it is not an object of thought. Not being an object of thought, it is known through the absence of metaphors. Being known through the absence of metaphors, it is supremely excellent and unsurpassed. Being supremely excellent and unsurpassed, it does not grasp at conditioned Nirvana. Not grasping at these two, it does not grasp at merit or fault. The first five metaphors are subtle and inconceivable. The Tathagata's Dharmakaya is permanent. The sixth metaphor, is because of attaining self-mastery, the Tathagata's Rupakaya is permanent. The Ninth Chapter, 'Tathagata's Merits,' of the Ultimate One Vehicle Ratnagotravibhāga (宝性论,Treatise on the Jewel Nature). Treatise says: Having spoken of the flawless Dharmakaya of Suchness, next, all the merits that rely on that flawless Dharmakaya of Suchness will be discussed. Just as a Mani jewel is inseparable from the various aspects of light, form, and color, so too are the immeasurable, boundless, self-naturedly pure, flawless merits of the Tathagata's Dharmakaya. For this reason, relying on the Buddha's merits, two verses are spoken next. Benefiting oneself and benefiting others, the body of ultimate truth. Relying on that body of truth, there is this body of conventional truth. The fruit is far from being raw; it is fully ripened within. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 有 六十四种法 诸功德差别 此偈示现何义。偈言。 于自身成就 住持诸佛法 故摄第一身 为他身住持 诸如来世尊 故有世谛体 佛无量功德 初身摄应知 十力四无畏 大丈夫相等 彼受乐报体 第二佛身摄

The verse says: 'Having accomplished in oneself, upholding all the Buddhadharmas, therefore embracing the first body, to uphold other bodies, all Tathāgata (如来) World-Honored Ones, therefore have the nature of mundane truth, the immeasurable merits of the Buddha (佛), it should be known are embraced by the first body, the Ten Powers (十力), the Four Fearlessnesses (四无畏), the characteristics of a great man, etc., that body which receives the bliss of reward, is embraced by the second Buddha body.' What meaning does this verse clarify? It clarifies the sixty-four kinds of merits of the Buddha's body, such as the Ten Powers. How is this known? It is known based on those meanings. Briefly speaking, two verses: 'The Buddha's power is a vajra (金刚杵), shattering the obstacles of the ignorant, the Tathāgata (如来) is fearless, dwelling in the assembly like a lion, the unique Dharmas of the Tathāgata (如来), are pure like the void, like the moon in the water, beings have two kinds of views.' From here onwards, the remaining verses in the chapter on merits, based on these two verses, sequentially reveal those sixty-four kinds of Tathāgata's (如来) merits, such as the Ten Powers. As extensively explained in the *Dharanisvararaja Sutra* (陀罗尼自在王经), it should be known. First, based on the Ten Powers, two verses are spoken: 'Right and wrong consequences, karma (业) and the faculties, nature, faith, the path to attainment, undefiled dhyana (禅定), recollection of past lives, the divine eye, and the wisdom of tranquility, such phrases, speak the names of the Ten Powers.' Furthermore, based on the Four Fearlessnesses (四无畏), three verses are spoken: 'Truly realizing all Dharmas, obstructing all obstacles to the path, speaking of the path to attain non-outflow, these are the Four Fearlessnesses (四无畏), regarding the realm of the knowable, ultimately knowing oneself and others, knowing oneself and teaching others to know, this is not obstructing the path, able to realize supreme and wonderful fruits, attaining oneself and enabling others to attain, speaking the truth of benefiting oneself and others, these are the fearlessnesses in all places.' Furthermore, based on the Eighteen Unique Dharmas of the Buddha (佛), eight verses are spoken: 'The Buddha (佛) has no faults, no disputes, no lapses in mindfulness, no instability or distraction, no various thoughts, no intentional guarding of the mind, desire and diligence do not regress, mindfulness, wisdom, and liberation, knowledge and vision, etc., do not'

English version Retreat All actions are rooted in wisdom, knowing that the three times (past, present, future) are without obstruction. The eighteen qualities of the Buddha, and other qualities not mentioned. The Buddha's body and speech are without fault; if others come to harm, the mind remains unmoved, without contrivance, without abandonment. The World Honored One desires diligence, mindful of purity, wisdom, and liberation. Knowledge and vision are never lost, revealing knowable realms. All actions and the like, with wisdom as the root, develop in turn; the three times are without hindrance, vast wisdom constantly acting. This is called the Tathagata's (如来) body, corresponding to great wisdom. Awakening to that great Bodhi (菩提, enlightenment), the supreme and wonderful Dharma (佛法, law). For the sake of all beings, turning the great Dharma wheel. The fearless, supreme, and wonderful Dharma, enabling them to attain liberation.

Fingers connected by webs like the King of Geese (鹅王), arms, elbows, upper and lower ankles. The two shoulders are level front and back, both round and full. Standing, the hands can reach past the knees, possessing the mark of the King of Horses (马王阴藏相, hidden genitals). The body is upright and grand, like the King of Banyan Trees (尼拘树王, banyan tree). The seven places of the body are full, the upper body is like a lion. The majestic power is firm and strong, like Narayana (那罗延, a Hindu deity). The body color is fresh, pure, and wonderful, with soft, golden skin. The skin is clean, soft, fine, smooth, and dense, with one hair growing from each pore. The hairs are soft and upward-growing, the fine hairs all spiral to the right. The body is pure, the light is round and encircling, the protuberance on the crown of the head is high and prominent. The neck is like the neck of the King of Peacocks (孔雀), the chin is square like a lion. The hair is pure, like the color of gold essence, like the jewel of Indra (因陀罗, the lord of gods).
