t32n1665 treatise on arising anuttara samyak sambodhi mind in vajrasekhara yoga.g2.0f

English

English version: This is what is being encompassed. Furthermore, in the *Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra*, from inner emptiness to the emptiness of self-nature without inherent existence, there are also sixteen meanings. Within the mind-essence of all sentient beings, there is a portion of pure nature, complete with all good deeds. Its essence is extremely subtle, clear and bright, and even in the six realms of samsara (samsara, cycle of rebirth), it does not change. It is like one-sixteenth of the moon. An ordinary moon, its one bright portion, when about to conjoin with a constellation, is only obscured by the sunlight, which deprives it of its bright nature, so it does not appear. Later, the new moon appears, gradually increasing day by day, until it is full and unobstructed on the fifteenth day. Therefore, the practitioner, initially using the syllable 'A' to initiate the clear wisdom in their mind, gradually makes it pure white and clear, realizing the wisdom of non-origination. The meaning of the syllable 'A' is that the fundamental nature of all dharmas (dharma, teachings or phenomena) is non-arising. According to the commentary on the *Vairochana Sutra*, the syllable 'A' has five meanings. First, the syllable 'A' (short sound) is bodhicitta (bodhicitta, the mind of enlightenment). Second, the syllable 'A' (long sound) is bodhicarya (bodhicarya, the conduct of enlightenment). Third, the syllable 'Am' (long sound) is the meaning of attaining bodhi (bodhi, enlightenment). Fourth, the syllable 'Ah' (short sound) is the meaning of parinirvana (parinirvana, complete nirvana). Fifth, the syllable 'Ah' (long sound) is the meaning of possessing upaya-jnana (upaya-jnana, wisdom of skillful means). Furthermore, the syllable 'A' can be matched with the four words 'opening, showing, awakening, entering' in the *Lotus Sutra*. 'Opening the Buddha's knowledge and vision' simultaneously opens bodhi and nirvana, like the initial syllable 'A', which is the meaning of bodhicitta. The word 'showing' shows the Buddha's knowledge and vision, like the second syllable 'A', which is the meaning of bodhicarya. The word 'awakening' awakens to the Buddha's knowledge and vision, like the third syllable 'Am', which is the meaning of attaining bodhi. The word 'entering' enters the Buddha's knowledge and vision, like the fourth syllable 'Ah', which is the meaning of parinirvana. In summary, fully accomplishing, the fifth syllable 'Ah' is the meaning of the perfection of skillful means and wisdom. Praising the syllable 'A' as the meaning of bodhicitta, the verse says: On an eight-petaled white lotus, one cubit in height, The syllable 'A' brightly appears with its pure light. Zen and wisdom both enter the vajra bond, Summoning the Tathagata's (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha) tranquil wisdom. Those who assist in understanding the syllable 'A' should observe with firm and decisive contemplation. One should observe the round, bright, and pure consciousness. If one sees it for the first time, it is called seeing the true ultimate truth (paramarthasatya, the highest truth). If one sees it frequently, one enters the first bhumi (bhumi, stage) of a Bodhisattva. If it gradually increases, then... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
