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!

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 - [Previous: 3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-bdk.3.5) - [Next: 3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-bdk.3.9) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-bdk.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-mt.3.8) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Śubhakarasiṃha & Yixing 724)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh.3.8) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-bdk.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.tantra.carya.mahavairocana*zh~en-bdk.3.8) · Pramāṇa
