English version: The Buddhas take the supreme meaning of conduct and vows as precepts. Those who possess this mind can turn the Dharma wheel, benefiting both themselves and others. As the Avatamsaka Sutra (Huayan Jing) says: 'With compassion, light, and wisdom as the main elements, skillful means correspond accordingly. With faith, understanding, and a pure mind as the foundation, possessing the immeasurable power of the Tathagata (Rulai), unobstructed wisdom manifests before you, self-awakened without relying on others, fully possessing qualities like the Tathagata, generate this most supreme mind. When a Buddha's child first generates such a wonderful and precious mind, they transcend the position of ordinary beings and enter the place where the Buddhas walk, born into the family of the Tathagata, with a lineage without blemish, equal to the Buddhas, and will surely achieve unsurpassed enlightenment. As soon as such a mind arises, one immediately enters the first Bhumi (the first of the ten stages of a Bodhisattva's path), the joy of the mind is immovable, like the great mountain king.' Furthermore, according to the Avatamsaka Sutra, from the first Bhumi to the tenth Bhumi, in each Bhumi, great compassion is the main element. As the Contemplation Sutra of Immeasurable Life (Wuliangshou Guan Jing) says: 'The Buddha's mind is great compassion.' Also, the Nirvana Sutra (Nirvana Jing) says: 'Namo Chunda (name of a person), although the body is human, the mind is like the Buddha's mind.' It also says: 'The great physician who has compassion for the world, both body and wisdom are serene. In the Dharma of no-self, there is true self, therefore, I respectfully bow to the unsurpassed honored one. The initial aspiration and the ultimate attainment are not different, but the initial aspiration is more difficult. Before saving oneself, one saves others, therefore, I pay homage to the one who first generates the Bodhi mind. One who has generated the Bodhi mind has already become a teacher of humans and devas, surpassing the Sravakas (hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary realizers). Such a mind that has been generated transcends the three realms, therefore, it is named the most unsurpassed.' As the Mahavairocana Sutra (Da Piluzhena Jing) says: 'Bodhi (enlightenment) is the cause, great compassion is the root, and skillful means are the ultimate.' Third, regarding Samadhi (meditative absorption), after a mantra practitioner has contemplated in this way, how can they attain unsurpassed Bodhi? It should be known that one should naturally abide in the great Bodhi mind of Samantabhadra (Puxian, name of a Bodhisattva). All sentient beings inherently possess Sattva (sentient nature), but because they are bound by the afflictions of greed, anger, and delusion, the Buddhas, with great compassion and skillful wisdom, teach this profound and secret Yoga, enabling practitioners to contemplate a white moon disc within their minds. By practicing this contemplation, they illuminate their original mind, which is serene and pure, like a full moon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Light pervades the void without any differentiation. It is also called 'Awakening,' also called 'Pure Dharma Realm,' also called 'Ocean of Reality Prajnaparamita' (Prajnaparamita, Perfection of Wisdom), capable of containing various immeasurable precious Samadhis (Samadhi, meditative absorption), like a full moon, pure white and clear. What is this? It is for all sentient beings, all containing the heart of Samantabhadra (Samantabhadra). I see my own mind, shaped like a moon disc. Why is the moon disc used as a metaphor? Because the full moon's round and bright essence is similar to the Bodhi-citta (Bodhi-citta, mind of enlightenment). The moon disc has sixteen parts, symbolizing the sixteen great Bodhisattvas from Vajrasattva (Vajrasattva) to Vajramusti (Vajramusti) in Yoga. Among the thirty-seven deities, the positions of the Five Dhyani Buddhas (Five Dhyani Buddhas) each represent a wisdom. Akshobhya (Akshobhya) in the East, due to the accomplishment of the Adarsha-jnana (Adarsha-jnana, Great Mirror Wisdom), is also called Vajra Wisdom. Ratnasambhava (Ratnasambhava) in the South, due to the accomplishment of the Samata-jnana (Samata-jnana, Wisdom of Equality), is also called Empowerment Wisdom. Amitabha (Amitabha) in the West, due to the accomplishment of the Pratyavekshanajnana (Pratyavekshanajnana, Wisdom of Discriminating Awareness), is also called Lotus Wisdom, also called Wisdom of Turning the Dharma Wheel. Amoghasiddhi (Amoghasiddhi) in the North, due to the accomplishment of the Krityanushthana-jnana (Krityanushthana-jnana, Wisdom of Accomplishing Activities), is also called Karma Wisdom. Vairocana (Vairocana) in the Center, due to the accomplishment of the Dharmadhatu Wisdom as its foundation. The wisdoms of the above four Buddhas give birth to the Four Paramita Bodhisattvas (Paramita Bodhisattvas). The four Bodhisattvas are Vajra Paramita, Ratna Paramita, Dharma Paramita, and Karma Paramita. They are the mothers who generate and nurture all the sages and virtuous beings of the three times. Thus, in the process of sealing the essence of the Dharmadhatu, the four Buddhas flow forth. The four Tathagatas in the four directions each embrace four Bodhisattvas. Akshobhya in the East embraces four Bodhisattvas: Vajrasattva, Vajraraja, Vajraraga, and Sadhus, as the four Bodhisattvas. Ratnasambhava in the South embraces four Bodhisattvas: Vajraratna, Vajrarashmi, Vajraketu, and Vajrahasa, as the four Bodhisattvas. Amitabha in the West embraces four Bodhisattvas: Vajradharma, Vajratikshna, Vajrahetu, and Vajrabhasha, as the four Bodhisattvas. Amoghasiddhi in the North embraces four Bodhisattvas: Vajrakarma, Vajraraksha, Vajradanta, and Vajramusti, as the four Bodhisattvas. The four Buddhas in the four directions each have four Bodhisattvas, forming the sixteen great Bodhisattvas. Among the thirty-seven deities, excluding the five Buddhas, the four Paramita Bodhisattvas, and the later four Gathering Bodhisattvas and eight Offering Bodhisattvas, only the sixteen great Bodhisattvas are taken as the retinue of the four directional Buddhas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

所摄也。又摩诃般若经中。内空至无性自性空。亦有十六义。一切有情于心质中。有一分净性。众行皆备。其体极微妙。皎然明白。乃至轮回六趣。变不变易。如月十六分之一。凡月其一分明相。若当合宿之际。但为日光。夺其明性。所以不现。后起月初。日日渐加。至十五日圆满无碍。所以观行者。初以阿字发起本心中分明。即渐令洁白分明。证无生智。夫阿字者。一切法本不生义。 准毗卢遮那经疏释阿字。具有五义。一者阿字(短声)是菩提心。二阿字(引声)是菩提行。三暗字(长声)是证菩提义。四恶字(短声)是般涅槃义。五恶字(引声)是具足方便智义。又将阿字。配解法华经中开示悟入四字也。开佛知见。双开菩提涅槃如初阿字。是菩提心义也。示字者。示佛知见。如第二阿字。是菩提行义也。悟字者。悟佛知见。如第三暗字。是证菩提义也。入字者。入佛知见。如第四恶字。是般涅槃义。总而言之。具足成就。第五恶字。是方便善巧智圆满义也。 即赞阿字是菩提心义。颂曰。 八叶白莲一肘门 炳现阿字素光色 禅智俱入金刚缚 召入如来寂静智 扶会阿字者。揩实决定观之。当观圆明净识。若才见者。则名见真胜义谛。若常见者。则入菩萨初地。若转渐增长。则 现代汉语译本： 这是所摄持的含义。此外，《摩诃般若经》中，从内空到无性自性空，也有十六种意义。一切有情众生的心性之中，都有一分清净的本性，具备一切善行，其本体极其微妙，清澈明亮，乃至在六道轮回中，也不会改变。这就像月亮的十六分之一，普通的月亮，其一分明亮的部分，在将要与星宿相合的时候，只是因为日光遮蔽了它的明亮本性，所以不显现。后来新月出现，每天逐渐增加，到十五日圆满无碍。所以观行者，最初以‘阿’字发起本心中分明的智慧，就逐渐使其洁白分明，证得无生智。‘阿’字的意思是，一切法的根本是不生不灭的。 根据《毗卢遮那经疏》解释，‘阿’字具有五种意义。第一，‘阿’字（短声）是菩提心（bodhicitta，觉悟之心）。第二，‘阿’字（长声）是菩提行（bodhicarya，觉悟之行）。第三，‘暗’字（长声）是证菩提（bodhi，觉悟）的意义。第四，‘恶’字（短声）是般涅槃（parinirvana，完全的涅槃）的意义。第五，‘恶’字（长声）是具足方便智（upaya-jnana，善巧方便的智慧）的意义。又可以将‘阿’字，配合解释《法华经》中的开、示、悟、入四个字。‘开佛知见’，同时开启菩提和涅槃，如最初的‘阿’字，是菩提心的意义。‘示’字，显示佛的知见，如第二个‘阿’字，是菩提行的意义。‘悟’字，领悟佛的知见，如第三个‘暗’字，是证菩提的意义。‘入’字，进入佛的知见，如第四个‘恶’字，是般涅槃的意义。总而言之，具足成就，第五个‘恶’字，是方便善巧智慧圆满的意义。 赞叹‘阿’字是菩提心的意义，颂词说： 八叶白莲一肘门，炳现阿字素光色 禅智俱入金刚缚，召入如来寂静智 扶助领会‘阿’字的人，要切实决定地观察。应当观察圆明清净的识。如果才见到，就叫做见到真胜义谛（paramarthasatya，最高的真理）。如果经常见到，就进入菩萨初地（bhumi，菩萨的阶位）。如果逐渐增长，那么……
