banner. The mantra is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, buddhadhāraṇi smṛti-

baladhānakari dharaya sarvaṃ bhagavaty ākāravati samaye svāhā. (Homage

to all Buddhas! O Buddha’s memory! you who act as the receptacle of the

power of remembrance! uphold everything! O Blessed Lady of [fine] form!

pledge! svāhā!) [253]

“Then, with the hollow hand-clasp, spread the middle fingers apart,

while the little fingers and thumbs are joined together to support each other.

This is called ‘seal of the Tathāgata’s abiding state of the Dharma.’ Its maṇḍala

is like empty space, surrounded by variegated colors, and it has two dots of

emptiness. The mantra is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, ā vedavide svāhā.

(Homage to all Buddhas. Ā! O you who are conversant with [sacred] knowl-

edge! svāhā!) [254]

“As before, make the hollow hand-clasp and, with the right and left

hands placed together, rotate them. This is called ‘seal of the World-honored

One’s swift support.’ Its maṇḍala is again like empty space; use blue dots

to decorate it. The mantra is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, mahāyoga-

yogini yogeśvari khāñjalike svāhā. (Homage to all Buddhas! O yoginī of the

great yoga! mistress of yoga! you of the hollow hand-clasp! svāhā!) [255]

“Lord of Mysteries, these are called the secret seals of the Tathāgata, and

they are supreme and secret. You should not confer them indiscriminately on

people, except on those who have been consecrated, are adaptable in nature, diligent and firm, have made special vows, revere their teacher, think of those to whom they are indebted, are pure within and without, and renounce their own bodies and lives in seeking the Dharma.”

Chapter XV

The Prohibitory Precepts

for Reciting Vidyās

Thereupon Vajrapāṇi, for the sake of bodhisattvas cultivating bodhisattva practices via the gateway of mantras, further asked the World-honored One Vairocana in verse about the prohibitory precepts for reciting vidyās.

How does one accomplish the prohibitory precepts? How does one

abide in śīla?

How does one practice in any situation, free from attachments?

For how long does one practice before the prohibitory precepts

come to an end?

Abiding in which ritual teachings does one recognize their potency?

Freedom from time, place, activity, and right and wrong—

How does one quickly accomplish [this]? I beg the Buddha to

explain that length [of time].

About that which was taught by previous buddhas, which brings

about siddhi,

I ask the Omniscient One, perfectly awakened and honored among

two-legged beings,

For the sake of future beings. May you who are honored among

humans bear witness [to my true intent]!
