The Awakening of Mahāvairocana 3.8

3.8

爾時毘盧遮那世尊說是偈已，觀察金剛手等諸大眾會，告執金剛言：「善男子！各各當現法界神力悉地流出句。若諸眾生見如是法，歡喜踊躍得安樂住。」如是說已，諸執金剛為毘盧遮那世尊作禮：「如是。法主！依所教勅。」復請佛言：「惟願世尊哀愍我等，示現悉地流出句。何以故？於尊者薄伽梵前而自宣示所通達法，非是所宜。善哉世尊！惟願利益安樂未來眾生故。」時薄伽梵毘盧遮那告一切諸執金剛言：「善哉善哉！善男子！如來所說法毘柰耶稱讚一法，所謂有羞。若有羞善男子善女人，見如是法速生二事，謂不作所不應作、眾所稱讚。復有二事，謂所未至令至，得與佛菩薩同處。復有二事，謂住尸羅、生於人天。善哉諦聽，善思念之，我當宣說真言成就流出相應句。諸流出相應句，真言門修菩提諸菩薩，速於是中當得真言悉地。若行者見漫茶羅尊所印可成就真語，發菩提心、深信慈悲、無有慳悋、住於調伏，能善分別從緣所生，受持禁戒善住眾學，具巧方便勇健，知時非時，好行惠捨心無怖畏，勤修真言行法，通達真言實義，常樂坐禪、樂作成就。祕密主！譬如欲界有自在悅滿意明，乃至一切欲處天子於此迷醉，出眾妙雜類戲笑及現種種雜類受用遍受用，授與自所變化、他化自在天等而亦自受用之。又善男子！如摩醯首羅天有勝意生明，能作三千大千世界眾生利益，化一切受用、遍受用、授與淨居諸天亦復自受用之。又如幻術真言能現種種園林人物，如阿修羅真言現幻化事。如世呪術攝毒及寒熱等，摩怛哩神真言能作眾生疾疫災厲，及世間呪術攝除眾毒及寒熱等，能變熾火而生清涼。是故善男子！當信如是流出句真言威德。此真言威德非從真言中出亦不入眾生，不於持誦者處而有可得。善男子！真言加持力故，法爾而生，無所過越，以三時不越故、甚深不思議緣生理故。是故善男子！當隨順通達不思議法性，常不斷絕真言道。」

There is no other state that is as difficult to obtain,

and it completely illuminates the world just like the

World-honored One.

The method of most pure cultivation has been explained,

profound, vast, inexhaustible, and free from differentiation.

Then, when the World-honored One Vairocana had spoken these verses, he surveyed the entire great assembly of Vajrapāṇi and so on and addressed the vajradharas, saying, “Good sirs, you should each reveal phrases from which siddhi emanates through the supernatural power of the Dharma realm, such that beings, if thus seeing the Dharma, will dance for joy and attain a state of happiness.”

When he had finished speaking thus, the vajradharas made obeisance to the World-honored One Vairocana, [saying,] “So be it, O Dharma Lord, as you have commanded!” And they made a request of the Buddha, saying, “We beg you, World-honored One, to have pity on us and reveal the phrases from which siddhi emanates. Why? It would not be proper for us ourselves to proclaim in the presence of the Honored Bhagavān the Dharma as mastered by each of us. Verily, World-honored One, it is only because we wish for the weal and happiness of future beings.”

Thereupon the Bhagavān Vairocana addressed all the vajradharas, saying, “Excellent, excellent, good sirs! The Vinaya of the Dharma taught by the Tathāgata extols one dharma, namely, having modesty. If a man of good [family] or a woman of good [family] who has modesty thus sees the Dharma, two things will quickly occur: namely, they will not do what should not be done and they will be extolled by all. There are two further things [that will occur]: namely, they will attain what they have not yet attained and they will gain association with buddhas and bodhisattvas. There are two further things [that will occur]: namely, they will abide in śīla and they will be born among humans and gods. Now then, listen attentively and consider it carefully as I proclaim the phrases correspondent to the emanation of the accomplishment of mantras, phrases correspondent to emanation in which bodhisattvas cultivating bodhi via the gateway of mantras will quickly obtain mantra siddhi.

“If the practitioner sees a maṇḍala, is certified by a venerable [teacher], accomplishes mantras, generates the bodhi-mind, has deep faith and compassion, is without miserliness, dwells in the subjugation [of the passions], is well able to analyze how things arise from conditions, observes the prohibitory precepts, is well established in various disciplines, is possessed of skillful expedient means, is intrepid, knows the [proper] time and the wrong time [for doing something], readily makes gifts, has no fear in his mind, diligently cultivates mantra practices, has mastered the real meaning of mantras, always delights in sitting in meditation, and delights in performing [rites of] accomplishment[, he will indeed have success with mantras].

“Lord of Mysteries, in the realm of desire, for example, there is Īśvara’s vidyā ‘Delighting and Satisfying the Mind’: the gods in all the places of desire become intoxicated by it, producing many fine and sundry kinds of merriment as well as manifesting various sundry kinds of enjoyment and full

enjoyment, and they give what they have magically transformed to the Paranirmitavaśavartin gods and so on and also enjoy it themselves.

“Again, good sirs, the god Maheśvara, for example, has a vidyā ‘Born from the Excellent Mind’: he is able to do benefit for beings throughout the
