The Awakening of Mahāvairocana 3.12

3.12

「奇哉真言行，能具廣大智，
若遍布此者，成佛兩足尊。
是故勤精進，於諸佛語心，
常作無間修，淨心離於我。」
爾時薄伽梵，復說此法句：
「於正等覺心，而作成就者，
於園苑僧坊，若在巖窟中，
或意所樂處，觀彼菩提心，
乃至初安住，不生疑慮意。
隨取彼一心，以心置於心，
證於極淨句，無垢安不動，
不分別如鏡，現前甚微細。
若彼常觀察，修習而相應，
乃至本所尊，自身像皆現。
第二正覺句，於鏡漫茶羅，
大蓮華王座，深邃住三昧，
總持髮髻冠，圍繞無量光，
離妄執分別，本寂如虛空。
於彼中思惟，作攝意念誦，
一月修等引，持滿一洛叉，
是為最初月，持真言法則。
次於第二月，奉塗香華等，
而以作饒益，種種眾生類。
又復於他月，捨棄諸利養，
時彼於瑜伽，思惟而自在。
願一切無障，安樂諸群生，
樂欲成如來，所稱讚圓果。
或滿足一切，有情眾希願，
應理無障蓋，而生是攀緣。
傍生相噉食，所有苦永除，
常令諸鬼界，飲食皆充滿，
地獄中受苦，種種諸楚毒，
當願速除滅。以我功德故，
及餘無量門，數數心思惟，
發廣大悲愍，三種加持句，
想念於一切，心誦持真言。
以我功德力，如來加持力，
及與法界力，周遍眾生界，
諸念求義利，悉皆饒益之，
彼一切如理，所念皆成就。」

"How wondrous is the practice of mantras, able to possess vast wisdom!
If one spreads this everywhere, one attains Buddhahood, the supreme among two-legged beings.
Therefore, with diligent vigor, toward the mind of the Buddhas' speech,
Always engage in uninterrupted cultivation, with a pure mind free from a self."
At that time, the Bhagavat again spoke these Dharma-phrases:
"One who would achieve accomplishment in the mind of perfect awakening,
In a garden park or a saṅghārāma, or in a mountain cave,
Or in a place pleasing to the mind, contemplates that bodhicitta,
Until when first abiding, no doubt or hesitation arises in the mind.
Then, taking that single mind, placing mind within mind,
One realizes the extremely pure phrase, unstained, calm, and unshakable,
Non-conceptual like a mirror, appearing before oneself, extremely subtle.
If one constantly contemplates it, cultivating and corresponding with it,
Even the form of one's own body of the iṣṭadevatā will appear.
The second phrase of awakening: in the mirror maṇḍala,
On the seat of the great lotus king, profoundly abiding in samādhi,
Crowned with a topknot dhāraṇī, surrounded by immeasurable light,
Free from false grasping and conceptualization, originally tranquil like space.
Contemplating within it, one performs recitation with concentrated mind;
For one month cultivating meditative equipoise, one upholds it fully one hundred thousand times;
This is the rule for upholding the mantra during the first month.
Next, in the second month, one offers smeared incense, flowers, and the like,
And thereby brings benefit to the various classes of sentient beings.
Furthermore, in another month, renouncing all gain and support,
At that time, one contemplates yoga with mastery.
Vowing that all sentient beings will be free of obstacles and at ease,
One desires to accomplish the complete fruit praised by the Tathāgatas.
Or, to fulfill all the hopes and wishes of the multitude of sentient beings,
In accord with principle, free from hindrances and veils, one generates this mental focus:
May all the suffering of animals devouring each other be forever eliminated;
May all the ghost realms constantly be filled with food and drink;
May the diverse bitter torments suffered in the hells
Quickly be extinguished! Through my own merit,
And through other immeasurable gates, frequently contemplating in mind,
Arousing vast compassion, with the three phrases of adhiṣṭhāna,
Visualizing all, one mentally recites and upholds the mantra:
'By the power of my merit, by the power of the Tathāgata's adhiṣṭhāna,
And by the power of the dharmadhātu, pervading the realms of sentient beings,
May all who seek meaningful benefits be fully profited,
And may all that they contemplate in accord with principle be accomplished.'"
