The Awakening of Mahāvairocana 7.34

7.34

入佛三昧耶明曰：

In order to make the body and mind completely pure

and save out of pity self and others.

The nature of the mind being thus free from sullies,

the body sits at peace as is appropriate.

Next, you should bind the samaya seal,

which purifies the path of the three actions.

You should know that the appearance of the secret seal

has been explained by the Perfectly All-knowing Ones:

You should clasp the left and right hands together, raise both thumbs,

And touch all parts [of the body] while reciting the mantra.

The vidyā “Entry into the Buddhas’ Samaya” is: Namaḥ sarvatathāgatebhyo viśvamukhebhyaḥ, oṃ asame trisame samaye svāhā. (Homage to all Tathāgatas in all directions! Oṃ, O pledge of three equals, without equal! svāhā!) [267; cf. 6]

By merely binding this mystic seal one is able to purify the stage of

the Tathāgata;

The [ten] stages and [six] pāramitās will be completed, and one will

accomplish the sphere of the path of the three dharmas.

The other seals are as explained in order in the sutra;

The mantrin should know that his actions will be successful.

Next, bind the insignia of the mystic wisdom of birth in the Dharma

realm;

Because it purifies body, speech, and mind, your body is completely

transformed.

The right and left hands both form adamantine fists,

With the two thumbs inside the palms and both forefingers perfectly

straight.

This is called the secret seal of purification of the Dharma realm.

The mantra “birth in the Dharma realm” is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, dharmadhātusvabhāvako ’haṃ. [268 = 7]

Visualize your own person as being like the Dharma realm in its

own nature,

And utter the mantra three times.

You should see yourself dwelling in the Dharma body, unsullied like

empty space,

For the awesome power of the mantra and seal empowers the

practitioner.

In order to make this [state] firm, visualize yourself as having an

adamantine body

And bind the seal of adamantine knowledge: with the left and right

hands back to back,

The left and right small, ring, middle, and forefingers support

each other,
