English version: The Tablet on the Fundamental Principles of the Buddha-Dharma A Treatise by the Tripiṭaka Master Wisdom, Ācārya (Ācārya: teacher) of the Great Maṇḍala (Maṇḍala: sacred diagram) at the Great Xing Shan Monastery The root of the Buddha is: Bhagavān (Bhagavān: the Blessed One) Mahāvairocana (Mahāvairocana: the Great Sun Buddha), upon whom all Buddhas rely. The root of the Dharma is: mantra-dhāraṇī (mantra-dhāraṇī: sacred incantations and retention), upon which all Dharmas rely. All Tathāgatas (Tathāgata: Thus Come One), fully realized sages and virtuous beings in the boundless realms of the ten directions, rely on the pure and wondrous Dharma-body of Vairocana, manifesting their self-enjoyment bodies, other-enjoyment bodies, and transformation bodies. The doctrines they expound are all within the gate of mantra-dhāraṇī, flowing forth as the teachings of the Tripiṭaka (Tripiṭaka: the three baskets of Buddhist scriptures). Since they accord with the dispositions of beings, there are the Tripiṭakas of the Great and Small Vehicles, each attesting to precepts, concentration, wisdom, as well as the aggregates, sense bases, realms, conditions, noble truths, food, and other Dharmas. What are called sūtrānta-piṭaka (sūtrānta-piṭaka: collection of discourses), translated into Chinese as the Sūtra Piṭaka; vinaya-piṭaka (vinaya-piṭaka: collection of monastic rules), translated into Chinese as the Vinaya Piṭaka; and abhidharma-piṭaka (abhidharma-piṭaka: collection of philosophical treatises), translated into Chinese as the Abhidharma Piṭaka. These are the Sūtra, Vinaya, and Abhidharma Piṭakas, hence they are called the Tripiṭaka. The gate of mantra-dhāraṇī, with a single syllable, fully encompasses all the teachings, principles, practices, and fruits of the entire Tripiṭaka. If one understands the teachings of a single dhāraṇī, that is the Tripiṭaka dhāraṇī, translated into Chinese as total retention, which holds all evil Dharmas from arising, holds all good Dharmas from perishing, destroys all defiled Dharmas, and attests to the Dharma teachings that flow forth from the pure Dharma-realm. What is called total retention of the treasury is, within the meaning of a single syllable, to awaken to immeasurable hundreds of thousands of profound and wondrous meanings, practicing, expounding, and speaking with freedom in both direct and reverse order. What is called samādhi (samādhi: meditative absorption) total retention is, because of this dhāraṇī, samādhi manifests, awakening to immeasurable hundreds of thousands of samādhi gates. Therefore, Bodhisattvas (Bodhisattva: enlightenment being) constantly appear and take birth in the six realms, not being destroyed by afflictions and secondary afflictions, attesting to great supernormal powers, accomplishing the benefit and happiness of boundless sentient beings. What is called verbal total retention is, because of this dhāraṇī, one accomplishes the ability to hear and recite immeasurable sūtras (sūtra: discourse) within a single syllable, never forgetting them. One should know that the dhāraṇī universally holds the great meritorious Dharmas of the three bodies, the Dharma-nature Dharma of the Buddha, abiding in the Dharma-realm, and totally retaining all Dharmas. The Tathāgatas of the three times all rely on this gate to cultivate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Attaining perfect enlightenment. If one delights in practice, one should, from a Yoga Acharya (teacher), generate the unsurpassed great Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment), receive the Samaya (vows), enter the great Mandala (sacred space), and receive Abhisheka (initiation); then one is permitted to grant and receive practice. Receiving the five wisdom Abhisheka of the Great Vairocana (the supreme Buddha) and all Tathagatas (Buddhas), and inheriting the position of Acharya, one may then transmit the teachings. Abhisheka is the meaning of appointment and investiture. Receiving the essence of Buddha's wisdom, the Vajra (diamond) name, from then on, one receives the vast, profound, and inconceivable Dharma (teachings), surpassing the two vehicles (Shravakayana and Pratyekabuddhayana) and the ten Bhumis (stages of a Bodhisattva's path), and is named the Great Vajrasattva (Diamond Being). The Acharya is one who inherits the Buddha's transmission of the Dharma, performs the deeds of the Tathagata, cultivates the precepts of the Buddha's body-secret, upholds the Mantra (sacred formula) of the Buddha's speech-secret, relies on the correct wisdom of the Buddha's mind-secret, and is the gateway to liberation through the three secrets of body, speech, and mind for sentient beings, accomplishing the unsurpassed fruit of the three bodies (Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya, Nirmanakaya), indicating the teachings and guiding to the destination. Paying homage to the World Honored One's great compassion, opening up the Dharma gate without end. This is universally in accord with the minds of beings, roughly eighty-four thousand Dharma gates, all encompassed within the Tripitaka (three baskets of Buddhist scriptures). For those who have not entered the true Dharma, causing them to enter the true Dharma, hence the Sutra (discourses of the Buddha) Pitaka (basket). For those who have entered the true Dharma, causing them to uphold the precepts, hence the Vinaya (monastic rules) Pitaka. For those who have already upheld the precepts, causing them to understand the true nature of all Dharmas, hence the Abhidharma (philosophical treatises) Pitaka. Since it accords with the nature of beings, there are the Tripitakas of the Small and Great Vehicles, each explaining the three studies of morality, concentration, and wisdom. Relying on the teachings, believing, understanding, practicing accordingly, and realizing the fruit. The Small Vehicle is the four fruits and three enlightenments, the Great Vehicle is the ten Bhumis before Buddhahood, all are spoken by the Buddha, all pointing to the Buddha's mind. There is also the Supreme Vehicle Tripitaka, also named the Buddha Vehicle, fully opening Abhisheka, transcending and ascending to the supreme and wonderful尊, the three secrets and four mudras (hand gestures) corresponding, instantly realizing the fruit of the three bodies of Buddhahood. The guide says: The One Vehicle Tripitaka, the root of the Buddha Dharma, the Great Awakened One reveals. Abhisheka is transmitted, awakening enters, realization enters, the three karmas are pure and firm. Receiving the Buddha's equal precepts, ascending to the Tathagata's Dhyana (meditation), Mantra wisdom understanding. Knowledge and vision are boundless, clearly and distinctly, the moon is full, the pearl is round. Universally pervading without end, benefiting and delighting according to conditions. This teaching has one hundred thousand Gathas (verses). Abhisheka is transmitted, even to the inner realization of the three secrets of all Tathagatas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
