English version Taking the Dharani (a type of mantra or incantation) of Great Dharma Light of Non-Regression as a refuge. According to the attainment of the Dharma realm (Dharmadhatu, the totality of all phenomena) by Bodhisattvas of the Third Ground, one can attain the ability to retain what is heard. Those who delight in speaking about it, if judged by the position of a teacher, are at the Ninth Ground. Depending on their respective positions, they are at the Fifth or Sixth Ground. Those who can grasp and hold it, at the Seventh Ground, attain the merit of seeing the non-differentiated Dharma realm, abiding in the mind of effort in a state of non-form and non-interruption, thus attaining the meaning of holding. Bodhisattvas of the Eighth Ground attain the Dharma realm without increase or decrease, constantly abiding in the state of non-form and form with effortless mind, with effort and without regression. For others, speaking of this, the turning of non-regression by Bodhisattvas of the Ninth Ground is supreme. From the beginning, those named pure, the Bodhisattvas of the Tenth Ground, with the cause position perfected, are named pure. For others, speaking of this, it is named pure. The *Compendium of Mahayana* says that the First Ground is named attainment of purity, and the Tenth Ground is ultimate purity. Next, 'present hearing, future attainment' refers to attaining the initial non-origination. The sutra says: 'The Buddha spoke of these Bodhisattvas up to the offering assembly.' The third part below is the offering arising from hearing, divided into two aspects: offerings from the devas (gods) and offerings from the Bodhisattvas. The devas descend with auspicious signs, and the Bodhisattvas arrange themselves with divine banners. The devas are above, so they present auspicious signs downwards. The Bodhisattvas are on the ground, so they float in the air displaying auspicious omens. The auspicious signs of the first chapter are sixfold: first, raining flowers; second, raining incense; third, sounding drums; fourth, raining garments; fifth, hanging garlands; sixth, burning incense. Raining flowers and incense are seeing and experiencing. Sounding drums is hearing and experiencing. Hanging garlands is touching and experiencing. The sutra says: 'Each Buddha up to the Brahma heavens.' Next are the offerings from the Bodhisattvas, divided into material offerings and Dharma offerings. This is the material offering. The sutra says: 'These Bodhisattvas up to praising all the Buddhas.' This is the Dharma offering. Next is the chanting of nineteen verses, divided into seven sections. The first verse praises hearing the Dharma, the second verse praises the overall benefit, the third to ninth verses praise attaining realization, the tenth verse praises attaining faith, the eleventh verse praises measuring merit, the twelfth to seventeenth verses praise offering, and the last two verses summarize the praise. The seven verses praising attaining realization are divided into two aspects: the first three verses praise present hearing and present realization, and the last four verses praise present hearing and future realization. Present realization is divided into three aspects: the first verse praises the four attainments, the second verse praises non-regression, and the third verse praises future attainment of purity, attaining faith, and measuring merit, which can all be understood. The six verses praising offering are divided into two aspects: the first four verses praise the offerings from the devas, and the last two --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The verses are offerings of Bodhisattvas. The heavens are in five layers. The first verse is raining flowers, the second verse is raining incense, the third half-verse is sounding drums, the fourth half-verse is raining clothes, and the last verse is an incense-burning verse. Bodhisattvas are in two layers. The first one and a half verses are praising the offering of wealth, and the last half-verse is praising the offering of Dharma. The Sutra says: 'At that time, the Buddha told Zhi Wu You ** (至无有**者, one who has reached the state of non-existence).' The second section explains the merits of hearsay. Because those who enter the path usually rely on five types of people to receive the Dharma: 1. Buddha, 2. Disciples, 3. Devas (gods), 4. Transformations, 5. Immortals. Now relying on the latter four, it is hearsay. The preface explains in three aspects: first, explaining merit through faith; second, explaining merit through practice; third, explaining merit through expecting results. Faith includes five meanings: first, believing in people, that is, believing that there are sentient beings; second, believing in the realm, that is, hearing the Buddha's lifespan; third, believing in time, that is, even a single thought; fourth, believing in the essence, that is, faith and understanding; fifth, believing in the benefit, that is, what is obtained is infinite. Among these five meanings, three are inferior and two are superior. People are inferior, time is inferior, and essence is inferior. Because the realm is superior, the blessings obtained are many. The Sutra says: 'If there are good men to what cannot be known (若有善男子至所不能知者).' This is explaining merit through practice, also including five meanings: first, the practitioners, that is, good men and good women; second, the realm of practice, that is, Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi (阿耨菩提, unsurpassed perfect enlightenment); third, the time of practice, that is, Nayuta kalpas (那由他劫, extremely long periods of time); fourth, the essence of practice, that is, the Five Paramitas (五波罗蜜, generosity, morality, patience, diligence, and meditation); fifth, the result of practice, that is, the blessings obtained are boundless. Among these five meanings, three are superior and two are inferior. People are superior, time is superior, and the realm is superior. But because the essence is inferior, the blessings obtained are few. Here, only the Five Perfections are explained, and the mind of faith and understanding is Prajna (般若, wisdom). Next, nineteen and a half verses are used to praise, divided into four layers. The first eleven verses are performing the essence, the next three verses are measuring the power of faith, the next four verses are generating faith and vows, and the last one and a half verses are rewarding believers. The essence of practice is divided into six layers: the first verse praises the practice of wisdom, the next three verses praise the practice of generosity (Dana, 檀那), the next verse praises the practice of morality (Sila, 戒), the next two verses praise the practice of patience (Kshanti, 忍), the next verse praises the practice of diligence (Virya, 精进), and the last three verses praise the practice of meditation (Dhyana, 禅那). The practice of generosity is divided into three verses: the first verse praises the realm of generosity, the next verse praises the means of generosity, and the last verse praises the mind of generosity. The practice of patience is divided into two verses: the first verse is enduring heavy evils, and the last verse is enduring light evils. The practice of meditation is divided into three verses: the first verse is leaving the obstacles of meditation, and the next verse --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
