大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Shubhakarasimha & Yixing 724) 3.26

3.26

Moreover, cause, action, and result, from which seeds grow, Are all destroyed with a great dot of emptiness [added to the letter

Ha] (i.e., Haṃ). Now I shall explain its physical form: it is deep black, has great

majesty,

Exhibits a wrathful form, and is completely surrounded by a wreath

of flames.

The wise person visualizes it residing in a maṇḍala between his

eyebrows,

Deep blue, a semilunar disc, with the characteristics of a banner

flapping [in the wind]:

There he imagines the supreme letter-gateway Ha.

Placing it in this maṇḍala, he accomplishes whatever is to be done,

Carrying out all objectives and manifesting them for beings.

Without abandoning his present body, he obtains supernatural

powers over the objective world:

He roams about the station of great space and achieves secrecy

(i.e., invisibility) of his body,

He has divine hearing, his organ of sight is pure, and he is able to

open up profoundly secret places.

Dwelling in this altar of singlemindedness, he accomplishes many

deeds.

When the bodhisattva of great renown first sat at the place of bodhi

(bodhimaṇḍa),

He vanquished the hosts of Māra’s army with the inapprehensibility

of all causes.

Cause being without [own-]nature, there is no result, and action is

likewise not born;

Since these three have no [own-]nature, one obtains the wisdom

of emptiness.

Its form as proclaimed by the perfectly all-knowing one of great virtue

Is the letter Kha with a great dot of emptiness (i.e., Khaṃ), supreme

and [representing] the emptiness of empty space (kha).

If one also displays the wisdom-sword seal, one’s actions will be

quickly accomplished.

The Dharma wheel, noose, khaḍga, nārāca (iron arrow),

Mudgara (mallet), and so on—[with these] one will achieve before

long this [excellent] state.”

Then the World-honored One Vairocana gazed upon the great assembly and addressed the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries, speaking these verses:

If bodhisattvas cultivating [bodhisattva] practices via the gateway

of mantras Make of themselves the letter A, [regard] the internal and the

external as being all the same, Abandon all objectives, [view] equally pebbles, gold, and jewels, And dissociate themselves from all sinful actions, as well as

covetousness, anger, and so on, They will all obtain purity, like the Buddhas and Munis,

Be able to bring about benefits, and be free from all faults. Next, with respect to the letter Va, the practitioner, relying on yoga And understanding the performance of rites, in order to benefit

beings Becomes a world-savior in his inner person: everything is like this. With the waters of his mind calm and full to overflowing, pure white

like snow or milk, He should engender a resolute mind and exude [the waters] throughout

his entire body So that, flowing most purely, they spread to all his pores, From where they overflow within and permeate the earth. With this water of compassion he observes the suffering beings of

the world, And any who imbibe it, or again whose body is touched by it, Will all definitely achieve bodhi. In mental equipoise, he imagines the letter-gateway Ra all [over

his body], Emitting blazing light all around which is serene and shines

everywhere. The light of the yogin turns outward and pervades all places, And benefiting the world according to [people’s] desires, the

practitioner will exercise supernatural faculties. [Visualizing] the letter-gateway Ra in his upper body and the letter

Va inside the circle at his navel, He will emit fire and cause rain to fall, manifesting them at the

same time: With the letter Ra he is able to eliminate the suffering of extreme

cold in hell,

And by abiding in the mantra method he removes fieriness with the

letter Va.

Making of his lower body the letter Ra and with the letter Ha as

an insignia,

Actions are quickly accomplished, and he saves beings with

grievous sins.

Dwelling in the great indra [circle], he performs the deeds of the

water-dragon [with the letters A and Va],

And the mantrin should not have any doubts about all subjugation

and so on.

Wind [represented by the letter Ha] is all-pervading and both instigates

and destroys all and everything;

These various and sundry deeds of every kind—

These one performs in accordance with the rules inside the maṇḍala

of form.

If one recites [the letter Ha], touching one’s heart with it, one will

obtain purity of the mental organ,

And if one recites it while walking about practicing levitation, one

will obtain supernatural faculties.

If, while sitting comfortably, one visualizes the letter A, imagining it

to be in the organ of hearing,
