English version Those who realize Samadhi, whether through seeing, hearing, knowing, or understanding, will instantly and completely achieve merit and wisdom (This describes the Dharmakaya (self-nature body), Sambhogakaya (self-enjoyment body) preaching the Dharma, and the benefits obtained). For example, this sutra clearly explains the differences in the preaching of the Dharma by the Trikaya (three bodies), including the depth, speed of attaining Buddhahood, superiority, and inferiority. This is consistent with the meaning of the Trikaya preaching in the *Lankavatara Sutra*. Exoteric scholars usually believe that the Dharmakaya (法身) does not preach the Dharma, but this view is incorrect. The difference between exoteric and esoteric Buddhism lies in this, and it needs to be carefully examined. The *Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha Tantra* says: At one time, the Bhagavan Vajradhatu Vairocana Tathagata (薄伽梵金刚界遍照如来) (this is a general statement praising the virtues of all Buddhas), with the four Dharmakayas (法身) accomplished by the Five Wisdoms (五智) (the Five Wisdoms refer to: 1. the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom (大圆镜智), 2. the Wisdom of Equality (平等性智), 3. the Wisdom of Discriminating Awareness (妙观察智), 4. the Wisdom of Accomplishing Activities (成所作智), 5. the Wisdom of the Dharmadhatu Nature (法界体性智), which are the Five Dhyani Buddhas (五方佛), corresponding to the east, south, west, north, and center respectively. The four Dharmakayas refer to: 1. the Svabhavikakaya (自性身), 2. the Sambhogakaya (受用身), 3. the Nirmanakaya (变化身), 4. the Nishyandakaya (等流身). These four bodies have both vertical and horizontal meanings. Horizontal is for self-benefit, and vertical is for benefiting others. Deeper meanings require further inquiry), in the inherent Vajradhatu (金刚界) (this explains the Dharmadhatu Nature Wisdom (法界体性智) of inherent virtue), the Great Samaya of Self-Mastery (自在大三昧耶) (this is the Wisdom of Discriminating Awareness (妙观察智)), self-aware of the original beginning (自觉本初) (the Wisdom of Equality (平等性智)), the Great Bodhicitta Samantabhadra Full Moon (大菩提心普贤满月) (the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom (大圆镜智)), in the indestructible Vajra Luminous Mind Palace (不坏金刚光明心殿) (the so-called indestructible Vajra is a general praise for the permanent body of all Buddhas. Luminous Mind is a praise for the awakened virtue of the mind. Palace indicates that body and mind are mutually the abode and the dweller. Middle is a secret word, also away from the meaning of the edge. This is the Three Secrets (三密), away from the five edges and hundred non-existences, dwelling alone not in the middle of the middle. Even the Equal Enlightenment Tenth Ground (等觉十地) cannot see or hear it. This is the self-realized realm of the Dharmakaya, and also the Wisdom of Accomplishing Activities (成所作智). The activities of the Three Secrets all arise from this. The above five sentences summarize the dwelling place. The name of the dwelling place is the secret name and wonderful virtue of the Five Buddhas, the secret meaning can be understood), Together with the retinue of Vajrapani (金刚手) and the sixteen great Bodhisattvas, formed from his own nature, as well as the goddesses of the Four Means of Attraction (四摄行天女使), the inner and outer eight offering Vajra goddesses (金刚内外八供养金刚天女使), each with their original vows, blesses and abides in the Vajra Moon Mandala (金刚月轮) of their own Samadhi (三摩地). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The emblems: All of these, with the subtle Dharmakāya (法身, Body of Essence) secret mind, surpass the body, speech, and mind Vajra (金刚, Diamond/Thunderbolt) of the Bodhisattvas of the Ten Bhumis (十地, Ten Grounds) (this explains the wisdom of the retinue within the thirty-seven fundamental Svabhāva-Dharmakāya). Each manifests five hundred million Kotis (俱胝, a unit of measurement in Indian numbering systems) of subtle Vajras on the Vajra of the Five Wisdom Light Peaks. Pervading the void and the Dharma Realm, the Bodhisattvas of all Bhumis are unable to see them and are completely unaware. Blazing with the power of luminous freedom (this explains that each of the thirty-seven fundamental Five Wisdoms possesses qualities like the sands of the Ganges. If according to the order of manifestation, if based on what is inherently present, then these qualities are simultaneously and perfectly complete). Constantly in the indestructible Nirmāṇakāya (化身, Transformation Body) of the three times, benefiting and bringing joy to sentient beings without a moment's pause (the three times refer to the three secrets of body, speech, and mind. Indestructible represents Vajra, transformation represents activity. It means that constantly using the activity of the Vajra three secrets throughout the three times, causing oneself and other sentient beings to experience the joy of the wonderful Dharma). With the Vajra nature (Akshobhya's (阿閦佛) Mudra (印, seal)), the light shines everywhere (Ratnaketu's (宝光佛) Mudra), pure and undefiled (Pure Dharma Realm Body Mudra), various activities (Karma Wisdom Body Mudra), expedient blessings (Expedient Enjoyment Body Mudra), saving sentient beings (the virtue of great compassion). Expounding the Vajrayana (金刚乘, Diamond Vehicle) (the virtue of the wisdom of teaching), the sole Vajra (the virtue and wisdom of the perfect Mandala (坛城, sacred geometric configuration)), able to sever afflictions (the virtue of sharp wisdom. The above nine sentences are the Five Mudras and Four Virtues. Each Buddha Mudra possesses the Four Virtues. Because it is for self-enjoyment, it constantly and eternally expounds the Vajra Wisdom One Vehicle). With this profound secret mind, the Samantabhadra (普贤) nature, the eternally abiding Dharmakāya, gathers all Bodhisattvas (this explains that the Svabhāva-Dharmakāya gathers its own retinue. It also universally gathers others, mentioning oneself while including others). Only this Buddha-kṣetra (佛刹, Buddha-field) is entirely composed of the pure Vajra nature, the Dense Adornment Avataṃsaka (密严华严, Dense Adornment Flower Garland) (the dense refers to the Vajra three secrets. The flower refers to the blossoming of enlightenment. The adornment refers to possessing all kinds of virtues. It means that with virtues like the sands of the Ganges, the body and land are adorned with the dust-like three secrets. This is called Mandala. Also, Vajra represents wisdom, purity represents principle. Svabhāva connects the two. It means that those deities each possess natural principle and wisdom). Accomplished by the merit and wisdom resources of sentient beings, fulfilling the great compassionate vows and practices (it means that the aforementioned deities like the sands of the Ganges each possess Samantabhadra's vows and expedient practices).
