English version: It extends horizontally across the ten directions. Exhausting the cycle of rebirth without interruption. This shows that this offering extends horizontally to fill the ten directions and vertically to exhaust the three periods of past, present, and future. Question: How can just three syllables accomplish such a supreme event? Answer: The syllable '𠽾[口*(隆-一)]', as mentioned earlier, 'adorns everything,' etc., and as stated in the 'Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra (佛顶尊胜经)': 'This mantra can break all the sufferings of hells, the realm of Yamaraja (阎摩罗界, the realm of the King of Death), and the realm of animals (傍生), turning them towards the path of goodness, even to the pure lands of all Buddhas, and the heavenly palaces, allowing free entry into all the profound practices of Bodhisattvas without any obstruction, and upon abandoning the body, one is immediately reborn in a Buddha-field,' etc. The syllable 'A (阿)', is named for entering the realm of non-differentiation with the power of a Bodhisattva, and it also signifies non-origination. The syllable 'Hum (吽)', is named as the cause of the Bodhi-mind of all Tathagatas (如来), and it is also said that all the merits of the Tathagatas, as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, arise from this. In summary, it takes the Bodhi-mind as the cause and enters the profound practices of Bodhisattvas, adorning all Buddha-fields and the subtle mandalas (曼怛, mantra) of the heavenly palaces, ultimately returning to the one true aspect of the non-differentiated realm. Question: The treasures of the four continents are already fully accomplished above, what is the meaning of establishing them here again? Answer: What was done above belongs to gradual progress and cannot be fully complete. To achieve one is to achieve all, relying on the power of the mantra. Fearing the loss of the principle of 'mind-only' and considering the three negations, fearing falling into emptiness and silence, therefore, in a single moment, from the self-nature of the empty essence, imagine the power of these three syllables, instantly appearing, and in one thought, complete accomplishment is achieved. Therefore, the later verse says, 'Each syllable of the secret words is accomplished by the mind-only.' Thus, it is known that the former belongs to gradual progress, while this belongs to complete accomplishment in a single thought, so there is no confusion. The above establishment of all dharmas (法) is all accomplished through causes and conditions. Flowers and rice are the cause, the mantra is the condition, and the single thought of mind-only is the accomplishment. Relying on these causes and conditions, then there is the establishment of all dharmas. Since all dharmas belong to causes and conditions, their essence is emptiness. Although empty, it does not hinder existence; existence is always empty in itself. Even if there is existence, its essence is emptiness; emptiness always thoroughly illuminates existence. Emptiness and existence are unobstructed, which is the Middle Way view. Therefore, the 'Mūlamadhyamakakārikā (中论)' says, 'The dharma that arises from causes and conditions, I say is emptiness, it is also called provisional name, it is also called the meaning of the Middle Way.' This is what it means. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 唵哑吽。

English version: Om Ah Hum. Offering all kinds of treasures and so on. Again, offering with three recitations of the mantra, both exoteric and esoteric, and praying for the Buddha to accept it, thereby seeking the fulfillment of wishes. Meditate on purity, until acceptance with compassion. The Sanskrit word 'Suvarna' means gold. The Sanskrit word 'Arjuna' means silver. 'Treasures' refers to various precious items. The Sanskrit word 'masagadv' means glass, also called water jade, which is crystal. The Sanskrit word 'vaiḍūrya' means blue treasure, clear inside and out. The Sanskrit word 'padmarāga' means red pearl, also known as coral. Amber is not a red pearl, but a celestial red pearl, with red light reflecting each other, and the colors of the treasures intermingling, also known as Indra's jewel, which is not found in the world. The Sanskrit word 'padmarāgamaṇi' means agate, also known as stone heart. Tridacna is also known as giant clam pearl. 'Jewel' refers to the maṇi-jewel. I now follow the teachings, until without interruption. This is the second offering. The triple verse is most prominent and does not need trivial explanation. Place the bell on the table, then hold the flower rice in your right hand and recite: May the Guru and Three Jewels, until Om Ah Hum. Having made the great vow, take refuge in the Three Jewels and request proof. Recite the three-syllable total-retention mantra again, and scatter flower rice. Visualize that the scattered treasure rice all turns into clouds of flowers and incense for offering. The above are all the Three Jewels as one entity. The following praises the Three Jewels as distinct aspects, arousing the admiration of sentient beings and accomplishing the Buddha-nature. Sincerely take refuge and pay homage, until possessing all virtues. 'Sincerely take refuge and pay homage' are words of sincere reverence. The Sanskrit word 'Buddha' means awakened. 'Awakened' means that the five aggregates of affliction are completely exhausted, and the suffering of both sectional death and continuous death are forever extinguished, like waking up from a great dream, and a lotus flower blooming, which is called Buddha. Complete in merit and complete in wisdom are called the Two-Footed Venerable. Self-awakening, awakening others, and complete awakening and practice are called the Three Complete Awakenings. Possessing compassion, joy, and equanimity, etc., is called possessing all virtues. Exhausting the practice in the causal stage and manifesting the merits in the resultant stage, guiding humans and gods, is called the Tamer of Beings. 'Taming' means subduing; 'Guiding' means skillfully driving at the right time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。如净名云。阎浮众生。其性刚强。难调难伏。唯如来以善巧方便。设诸苦切之言而教化之。譬难化之人心如猿猴。故以若干种法制御其心。乃可调伏而入律也。故名之曰佛。 天人调御师唵哑吽。 此无非加持音声。令成广大赞叹。如行愿品云。十方三世一切佛刹微尘。一一尘中复有尘数佛。我当悉以甚深信解现前知见。各以出过辩才天女微妙舌根。一一舌根。出无尽音声海。一一音声海。出一切言词海。称扬赞叹一切如来诸功德海。尽于未来相续不断。即此之意也。 凡圣大慈父。 三圣六凡之依怙。曰慈父。经云。五眼具足成菩提。永为三界作慈父。 从真界(至)十方处。 此下赞现身说法。所谓如来从一真法界而腾应化之质。若桂月朗空。千江顿现。悲化之心。无处不在。竖则穷于三际。横则该遍十方。 震法雷。 有警觉义。 击法鼓。 有进策之义。 广演权实教。 三乘。权也。一乘。实也。 唵哑吽大开方便路。 经云。诸法从本来。常自寂灭相。不可以言宣。今佛于无身中现身。无法中说法曲徇机宜。随时设教。此所以为开方便也。 若皈依(至)地狱苦。 起信云。觉则不动。动则有苦 现代汉语译本： 正如《维摩诘经》所说：‘阎浮提（Jambudvipa，指我们所居住的这个世界）的众生，其性情刚强，难以调伏。只有如来（Tathagata，佛的称号之一）以善巧方便，施设各种苦切的言语来教化他们。’譬如难以教化的人心就像猿猴一样，所以要用若干种方法来控制它的心，才能调伏而进入戒律。因此，称他为佛。 天人调御师 唵哑吽。 这无非是加持音声，使之成为广大的赞叹。如《普贤行愿品》所说：‘十方三世一切佛刹（Buddha-kshetra，佛的国土）微尘，每一个微尘中又有微尘数目的佛。我应当以甚深的信心和理解，现前知见，各自以超过辩才天女（Sarasvati，智慧女神）的微妙舌根，每一条舌根，发出无尽的音声海，每一个音声海，发出一切言词海，称扬赞叹一切如来诸功德海，直到未来永不间断。’就是这个意思。 凡圣大慈父。 三圣（声闻、缘觉、菩萨）六凡（天、人、阿修罗、地狱、饿鬼、畜生）所依怙的，称为慈父。经中说：‘五眼具足成就菩提（Bodhi，觉悟），永远为三界（欲界、色界、无色界）作慈父。’ 从真界（至）十方处。 以下赞叹佛现身说法。所谓如来从一真法界（Dharmadhatu，诸法实相的境界）而腾起应化之身，就像桂树的月亮朗照天空，千江同时显现月影一样。慈悲教化的心，无处不在。竖着说，穷尽过去、现在、未来三际；横着说，该括遍及十方。 震法雷。 有警觉的意义。 击法鼓。 有进策的意义。 广演权实教。 三乘（声闻乘、缘觉乘、菩萨乘），是权巧之教；一乘（佛乘），是真实之教。 唵哑吽大开方便路。 经中说：‘诸法从本来，常自寂灭相，不可以言宣。’现在佛在无身中现身，无法中说法，委曲顺应众生的根机，随时施设教化。这就是所谓的开方便之门。 若皈依（至）地狱苦。 《起信论》说：‘觉悟则不动，动则有苦。’

English version: As Vimalakirti (净名) says: 'The beings of Jambudvipa (阎浮众生, the world we live in) are stubborn and difficult to tame. Only the Tathagata (如来, one of the titles of the Buddha) uses skillful means and various stern words to teach them.' It is like the mind of a difficult-to-tame person is like a monkey, so it is necessary to use various methods to control their mind, so that they can be tamed and enter the precepts. Therefore, he is called Buddha. Tamer of gods and humans Om Ah Hum (天人调御师 唵哑吽). This is nothing but blessing the sound, making it a vast praise. As the 'Universal Worthy's Conduct and Vows' says: 'The dust motes of all Buddha-lands (佛刹) in the ten directions and three times, and in each dust mote there are dust-mote numbers of Buddhas. I should, with deep faith and understanding, directly know and see, each with a subtle tongue root surpassing the eloquence of the goddess Sarasvati (辩才天女), each tongue root emitting endless oceans of sound, each ocean of sound emitting all oceans of words, praising and extolling all the oceans of merits of all Tathagatas, continuing without interruption into the future.' This is the meaning. Great compassionate father of ordinary and holy beings (凡圣大慈父). The one who is relied upon by the three holy ones (Sravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas) and the six realms of ordinary beings (gods, humans, asuras, hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals) is called the compassionate father. The sutra says: 'Having the five eyes complete, one attains Bodhi (菩提, enlightenment), and forever becomes the compassionate father of the three realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm).' From the realm of truth (to) the ten directions (从真界（至）十方处). The following praises the Buddha appearing in person to teach the Dharma. It is said that the Tathagata arises from the one true Dharmadhatu (法界, the realm of the true nature of all things) and manifests a responsive body, just like the moon in the cassia tree shining brightly in the sky, with a thousand rivers simultaneously reflecting its image. The heart of compassionate transformation is everywhere. Vertically speaking, it exhausts the three periods of past, present, and future; horizontally speaking, it encompasses the ten directions. Thunder the Dharma-thunder (震法雷). It has the meaning of awakening. Strike the Dharma-drum (击法鼓). It has the meaning of urging forward. Widely expound the provisional and real teachings (广演权实教). The three vehicles (Sravaka Vehicle, Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, Bodhisattva Vehicle) are provisional teachings; the one vehicle (Buddha Vehicle) is the real teaching. Om Ah Hum, greatly open the path of skillful means (唵哑吽大开方便路). The sutra says: 'All dharmas from the beginning, are always in a state of quiescence and extinction, and cannot be expressed in words.' Now the Buddha manifests a body in the absence of a body, and teaches the Dharma in the absence of Dharma, accommodating the faculties of beings and establishing teachings according to the time. This is what is meant by opening the door of skillful means. If one takes refuge (to) the suffering of hell (若皈依（至）地狱苦). The Awakening of Faith says: 'When awakened, there is no movement; when there is movement, there is suffering.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
