English version: The Deeds of the Great Virtuous Tripiṭaka Master Amoghavajra, the Great Discriminator, Righteous One, and Wise One, Formerly Grand Master of the Imperial Preceptor, Posthumously Granted the Title of Minister of Public Works of the Great Tang Dynasty Composed by Zhao Qian, Former Provisional Military Advisor of the Left Imperial Guard and Imperial Edict Waiter The Emperor's Consecration Master, Dharma name Amoghavajra (不空). He transmitted the great Bodhi mind Vajra wisdom seal through the vows and practices of Samantabhadra (普贤). Obeying the Buddhist teachings, he delivered all beings, held the great Dharma treasure, came at the right time, and assisted three dynasties for nearly thirty years. The master was originally from Xiliang Prefecture and belonged to the Brahmin caste of Northern India (北天竺). His father passed away early, and he was raised by his maternal uncle, so he took his mother's surname. Initially, before his mother, Kang, was pregnant, a skilled physiognomist said, 'You will surely give birth to a Bodhisattva (菩提萨埵) in the future.' After saying this, he disappeared, which greatly surprised everyone. Therefore, she bathed and changed clothes, ceased speaking, and focused on recitation. In less than three days, while dozing off, she dreamed of the Buddha smiling, with light flowing from his eyes, entering the top of her mother's head. Suddenly, she awoke with a start, covered in sweat, and thus felt pregnant. After the incense offering, the night was as bright as day. She gave birth after twelve months, and he could speak from birth, his demeanor and spirit were extraordinary, and his essence was unique. The Six Perfections (六波罗蜜) and Four Immeasurables (四无量心) seemed to be innate knowledge, not taught by a teacher. Only Buddha and Buddha can fully understand this. In the past, Bhagavan (婆伽梵) Vairocana Buddha (毗卢遮那佛) entrusted the Vajradhatu Yoga Secret Teaching King Mantra Dharma Seal to Vajrapani Bodhisattva (金刚手菩萨). Nearly a thousand years later, it was transmitted to Nagarjuna Bodhisattva (龙猛菩萨). Several hundred years later, Nagarjuna transmitted it to Nagarjuna Acharya (龙智阿遮梨耶). Several hundred years later, Nagarjuna transmitted it to Vajrabodhi Acharya (金刚智阿遮利耶). Vajrabodhi transmitted it to the current master. Although the source is the same, the branches of the lineage are only a few dozen people. Like a direct lineage succession, my teacher inherited six of them. Initially, the master followed his maternal grandfather to travel to great countries. At the age of ten, he toured Wuwei (武威, located in present-day Gansu Province) and Taiyuan (太原, located in present-day Shanxi Province). At the age of thirteen, he studied the Great Propagation Teaching. The ancestral teacher Daoxitan recited the Brahmanical language treatises, and the master could recite the original text and thoroughly understand it in a short period. The ancestral teacher was greatly amazed by this. Later, he conferred the Bodhi mind precepts on the master and introduced him to the Vajradhatu Mandala (金刚界大曼茶罗). Through throwing flowers to verify, he foresaw that the master would surely achieve great accomplishments in the future. At the age of fifteen, he first shaved his head, and at the age of twenty, he received the full precepts. Shan Yi --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proficient in the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya. Fluent in various languages and literate in foreign scripts. Previously, when translating scriptures, he skillfully employed translation techniques, weighing the nuances of Tang Chinese and Sanskrit, and selecting the essence of the text. He dedicated twelve years to the study of Śabda-vidyā (the science of sound) and completed it. He recited the vows of Manjusri Bodhisattva, initially planning to take a year, but finished in just two days. Later, at the place of his Guru (spiritual teacher), he earnestly requested the Yoga of the five sections and the Trikāya (three secrets), seeking it for three years without fulfilling his long-cherished wish. For the sake of the Dharma, he desired to return to India. That night, he stayed at an inn in Xinfeng. The Guru had a dream that night, in which the images of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temples of the capital were all moving eastward. Suddenly awakened, he immediately ordered (the master) to return. Upon hearing of (the master's) return, the Guru was overjoyed and said, 'All my Dharma treasures, I will entrust to you.' The next morning, he transmitted to (the master) the Dharma of the five sections, the teachings of Abhiseka-homa-acarya (initiation, fire offering, and mastership), the Siddhi rituals of the Mahāvairocana Sūtra, and the practices of the mantras of the crowns of all Buddhas, transmitting each one to its finest detail. After a few years, the Guru received an imperial decree to return to his country, and the master accompanied him. When they arrived at Henan Prefecture (around modern Luoyang, Henan Province), the Guru manifested illness and passed away. That was the mid-autumn of the twenty-ninth year of the Kaiyuan era (741 AD). After the shadow stupa was built, in order to fulfill the last words of his late teacher, he ordered (the master) to go to Sinhala (Sri Lanka). In the early years of the Tianbao era, he arrived at Nanhai Prefecture (around modern Guangzhou, Guangdong Province). The merchant ship to Sinhala had not yet arrived, so (the master) visited Liu Julin, who earnestly requested initiation from the master three times. The master agreed and temporarily established a Dharma assembly at Faxing Temple. Because of Liu Julin, the four assemblies (monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen) all benefited, and countless people were saved. Before the master went to Sinhala, he entered the Mandala, faced the principal deity, and performed blessings using the Vajra-trikaya (three secrets of body, speech, and mind), reciting scriptures and walking. In less than ten days, Manjusri Bodhisattva appeared, because his sincere vows were not in vain, and his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled. Thereupon, he led his disciples Hanguang, Huibian, and twenty-one other monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, carrying their staffs and boarding the ship. Liu Julin and the gentry and common people of the entire prefecture held a grand assembly, displaying flowers all over the seashore. The sounds of conch shells and Sanskrit hymns resounded to the ends of the earth, escorting the master for hundreds of miles. As soon as they reached the border of Holing Kingdom (Java, Indonesia), they encountered a great black wind. The merchants were terrified and performed the rituals of the local deities, but to no avail. They could only prostrate themselves and beg the master. The young monk Huibian also cried out in sorrow. The master said, 'Now I have the Dharma, do not worry.' Then, he held the five-wisdom Bodhicitta Vajra (ritual implement) in his right hand and the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra (Perfection of Wisdom Sutra) in his left hand, and performed the Dharma blessing, reciting the Mahāpratisarā Dhāraṇī (Great Protection Dharani). After reciting it only once, Huibian also felt strange, and the wind calmed and the sea cleared. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
