of empty space is immeasurable. Lord of Mysteries, on account of the immea-

surableness of the mind, he obtains four kinds of immeasurableness. Hav-

ing obtained them, he accomplishes supreme perfect awakening, is endowed

with the ten powers of wisdom, vanquishes the four demons, and fearlessly

speaks with the roar of a lion.”

The Buddha [then] spoke this verse:

Striving Hero, all these states of the Unsurpassedly Awakened One

Are the essence taught by the buddhas in the hundred-gated basis

of training.

The Accomplishment of the Station

of the Hundred Letters

Thereupon the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries, having gained the unprecedented, spoke these verses:

“The Buddha has explained the mantra world-savior (i.e., Aṃ),

which produces all mantras.

Mahāmuni (Great Muni), how does one know it?

benefits others

Views bodhi as an objective entity, he will never be able to see it;

[But] if he is able to recognize this Great Self in his inner heart,

[He will find that] the place in which the [mantra] guide resides

An eight-petaled lotus flower born of the mind, extremely beautiful,

In the middle of a perfectly full lunar disc, unsullied like a

clear mirror:

There the honored mantra world-savior always resides.

It is golden in color with blazing light, dwells in samādhi, counteracts

the poison [of mental defilements],

And is difficult to behold, like the sun—it is the same for all beings,

Forever empowering them all around, within and without.

With this eye of wisdom one realizes that the mind is [that] bright

mirror.

Because the mantrin sees this round mirror with the eye of wisdom,
