2.23
Thereupon the World-honored One Vairocana dwelled in the samādhi
“Observation from the High Peak of the Pure Dharma Banner,” in which,
fulfilling all wishes, he protruded his vast tongue and completely covered all
buddha fields. Then the Buddha rose from meditation, whereupon he emit-
ted a voice that pervaded the Dharma realm of all Tathāgatas, taking pity on
the realms of beings without exception, and uttered this vidyārājñī “Very Pow-
erful Great Protection”: Namaḥ sarvatathāgatebhyaḥ sarvabhayavigatebhyo
viśvamukhebhyaḥ, sarvathā haṃ [khaṃ] rakṣa mahābale sarvatathāgata-
puṇyanirjāte hūṃ hūṃ trāṭ trāṭ apratihate svāhā. (Homage to all Tathāgatas,
who are free from all fear and are in all directions! In every way, haṃ [khaṃ],
protect! O you of great strength! you who are born of the merit of all Tathā-
gatas! hūṃ hūṃ trāṭ trāṭ! you who are unimpeded! svāhā!) [5]
Then, as soon as all the Tathāgatas and the multitudes of sons of the
Buddha had uttered this vidyā, buddha fields everywhere shook in six dif-
ferent ways, and all the bodhisattvas, having experienced something unprece-
dented, with wide-open eyes spoke these verses in front of the buddhas with
words pleasing to the mind:
It is most remarkable that the buddhas have uttered this [vidyā]
“Very Powerful Protection”;
The protection by all the buddhas [is like that provided by] a citadel
and moat that are completely impregnable.
If one dwells protecting the mind with it, all obstructors,
Vināyakas, and rākṣasas of evil form
Will all disperse through the power of thinking on the mantra.
Then the Bhagavān, having empowered the vast Dharma realm, dwelled at once in the samādhi “Matrix-Treasury of the Dharma Realm” and, rising from this state of meditation, uttered the vidyā “Entry into the Buddhas’ Samaya”: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, asame trisame samaye svāhā. (Homage to all Buddhas! O pledge of three equals, without equal! svāhā!) [6]
As soon as he had uttered this vidyā “Entry into the [Buddhas’] Samaya” in the midst of all the assemblies of bodhisattvas in all buddha fields, the sons of the Buddha who had heard it together [became so that they] would no longer transgress any dharmas.
Then the Bhagavān also uttered the mantra “birth in the Dharma realm”: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, dharmadhātusvabhāvako ’ham. (Homage to all Buddhas! I have the intrinsic nature of the Dharma realm.) [7]
