English version: The sutra says, 'Having thought thus, one rises from the water onto the shore, and comprehends the secret and true meaning, etc.' The explanation says, 'Like one who usually fastens their belt, they may adorn themselves as they please. Also, adorn the body with a crown, etc.' This mudra (hand gesture) is not in the sutra, so it is now further described. With both hands, the right hand pressing on the left, crossed outwards, the tips of the two middle fingers touching, raised like lotus leaves and placed on the top of the head. Then immediately form the vajra fists separately, separate the hands from the sides of the head downwards, scattering them along the body, imagining them to become sideburns and celestial garments, etc. When forming the mudra, recite this mantra again, saying: 'Om Vajra Padma Maha Abhisheka Samanta Vajri' The secret meaning refers to the Buddha's merits, the vajra (diamond scepter), and the lotus crown upon the crown of my heart. When performing this practice, according to one's preferred principal deity, imagine merging into one with it. Then imagine holding the vajra, etc., and comprehending the secret and true meaning, etc. Contemplate according to the dharma instrument one holds. The remaining text is understandable. The verse says, 'Next, the method of entering the mandala (sacred space).' The sutra says, 'Then go to the mandala, when desiring to enter, and dispel all inauspiciousness, etc.' The explanation says, 'The [口*束*页]口 mantra mentioned above is for establishing boundaries. The feather fist is when the left hand holds the thumb in a fist. At the same time, emit the vajra sound, using the fist to open the door, causing it to open. The angry eyes are using a compassionate heart, eyes wide open, looking around to the left and right. The verse says, 'Universally prostrate in repentance, following the direction.' The sutra says, 'Having entered, with right mindfulness, pay homage to the Buddhas abiding in the ten directions, and perform the practices according to the Dharma, etc.' The explanation says, 'This is the initial entry, universally imagining paying homage to the Dharma assembly of Vairocana (the Illuminator), abiding in the Dharma realm. This includes practices such as repentance, exhortation, rejoicing, and dedication. The reason for the omission is for those who briefly practice yoga, abiding in the vajra body, speech, and mind, which is to enter into the body of Samantabhadra (Universal Virtue) who pervades all practices and vows. This practice is complete, so it is not listed extensively. If there are those who enjoy it, they may do as they please. Prostrations and kneeling are understandable. The verse says, 'The method of separately taking refuge and making vows.' The sutra says, 'Then rise from the seat, and again kneel on the right knee, and then make offerings to the four directions as described above, etc.' The explanation says, 'This has four meanings. First, it is to accomplish the vajra Samantabhadra conduct position of all Buddhas; second, it is to fulfill the vajra initiation position of all Buddhas.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Third, it is for quickly accomplishing the position of turning the Dharma wheel of all Tathagatas (如来,Tathagata). Fourth, it is for jointly obtaining the Vajra (金刚,Vajra) skillful activities of all Tathagatas. These four Samadhis (三摩地,Samadhi) are either entered into all at once, or entered into sequentially, or one may enter into one of them as one pleases. Each time after practice, one should first form the initial Vajra Samaya (金刚三昧耶,Vajra Samaya) mudra (印,mudra), and then, with palms together, bow in all directions. The secret meaning of the mantra (真言,mantra) is that the merits of the Buddha and the Vajra Samadhi are the most supreme. Therefore, one should first form its mudra. As the sutra (经,sutra) says, the remaining text such as 'respectful prostration' can be understood. To enter the door of the four Samadhis, first present them in general, then list them separately. The sutra also says, 'One should sincerely prostrate once with the body,' which is also a general statement. Its meaning can be understood. The first is the Vajra Samantabhadra (金刚普贤,Vajra Samantabhadra) Samadhi. The sutra says: 'In its eastern direction, prostrate the whole body on the ground' and the mantra 'even to compassionate blessing' and so on. The explanation says: The secret meaning is to visualize the eastern direction filling the entire space, purely adorned with Vajra, called the Vajra Adornment Treasury World. Within it, Tathagatas fill the world, as numerous as the dust motes in all worlds. Each Tathagata enters the Vajra Samadhi, sits in the lotus position, extends the right hand and droops it on the right knee, and places the left hand horizontally and upward on the lotus position. Each Tathagata is surrounded by Vajradhara (执金刚,Vajradhara) and other great Bodhisattvas (菩萨,Bodhisattvas). Then, use one's own mind to serve and make offerings before each Buddha and each Bodhisattva. Also, visualize countless supreme fragrant flowers and various offerings emerging from one's own body. Also, visualize one's own body becoming a Vajra seat and offering it. Let the mind's eye see clearly and distinctly, and let the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas accept the offerings. At this time, the practitioner makes this vow in Samadhi: 'May all Tathagata Vajrasattvas (金刚萨埵,Vajrasattva) protect me, and bless my body with this Vajra Samadhi.' The so-called 'Hum' syllable. If one can enter in this way, one can quickly obtain the Vajra Samantabhadra Samadhi. The second is the Abhisheka (灌顶,Abhisheka) position. The sutra says: 'Also, place the Vajra palms together on the heart facing south' and the mantra 'even to give me Abhisheka' and so on. The explanation says: The secret meaning is to form the Vajra palms together and wholeheartedly take refuge. Visualize the southern direction filling the entire space, purely adorned with wonderful treasures, called... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The World of the Precious Light Treasury, where the Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones, an epithet of the Buddha) pervade the entire world, as numerous as the dust particles in all worlds. In the presence of each Buddha, one should visualize countless Bodhisattvas, such as Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of the Treasury of Space) and Ratnaketu Bodhisattva (Banner of Jewels Bodhisattva), surrounding them. All the Tathagatas enter the Precious Light Samadhi (a state of meditative absorption), that is, sitting in the lotus position (Padmasana), with the right hand resting upward on the navel, palm facing outward, displaying a wondrous jewel image in the palm. The left hand rests horizontally upward on the lap, and the palaces they reside in are adorned with great jewels. The Bodhisattvas each hold jeweled banners and various jeweled offerings, clearly and distinctly. Furthermore, visualize offering oneself, etc., as described previously. At this time, in Samadhi, make this vow: 'May all the Tathagatas and Vajra Jewel Bodhisattvas (Diamond Jewel Bodhisattvas), etc., pour the Precious Samadhi upon my head.' At that moment, visualize seeing the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, etc., simultaneously using the light of the jewel nature to perform the initiation. In this way, the practitioner will immediately fulfill the position of initiation. Do not think, 'I am a common person, how can I immediately be in the initiation position of the Bodhisattvas?' Why? Because it is of the same nature as the Precious Light Samadhi. The Third Dharma Wheel Position. The sutra says: 'Also, place the Vajra joined palms on the head, and the mantra, and even turn the Vajra Dharma Wheel for me, etc.' The explanation says: The secret meaning is to join palms in reverence, facing westward with one mind. Visualize that in the West, the entire realm of space is adorned purely with exquisite Vajra Jewel Lotuses. Furthermore, visualize all the Tathagatas and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva Who Observes the Sounds of the World), Manjusri Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva of Wisdom), and other great Bodhisattvas surrounding and expounding the Dharma. Visualize each Buddha and Bodhisattva, etc., as numerous as the dust particles in all worlds, each Buddha sitting in the lotus position, entering Samadhi. The Bodhisattvas each hold lotuses, with Dharma Wheels and Dharma Conches, etc., within the lotuses, clearly allowing oneself to see. Furthermore, visualize offering oneself, etc., as described above. At this time, in Samadhi, make this vow: 'May all the Tathagatas and Vajra Dharma Lotus Wheel Bodhisattvas, etc., pour this Samadhi upon my head.' At that moment, the practitioner can visualize seeing the light of the Dharma Wheels of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, etc., performing the initiation for oneself. Upon entering this visualization, one will immediately be granted the position of turning the Dharma Wheel of all Buddhas, and will be able to turn all Dharma Wheels. Do not give rise to doubts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
