6.66
And one does not sunder the mind and the physical image—do not
act contrary to the rules!
The three lakṣas that I have explained and the many ways of
reciting mantras
Lead to the removal of sins, and the mantrin is purified.
Do not act contrary to this teaching regarding the number of
recitations!”
Chapter XXXI
The Entrustment
Thereupon the World-honored One addressed the entire assembly, saying, “You must now not be negligent with regard to this gateway to the Dharma. If you do not know their basic nature, you should not confer it on other people apart from my disciples who possess the [right] attributes. I shall now explain them, and so you should listen singlemindedly.
“If they were born at the time of an auspicious planet or lunar mansion, seek after excellent things, have subtle wisdom, are always mindful of their debts of gratitude, produce thoughts of earnest longing [for the Dharma], and dwell in joy on hearing the Dharma, their complexions are bluish white or white in color, they have broad heads and long necks, their foreheads are broad and flat, their noses straight and their faces full, and they are dignified and well-proportioned—such a son of the Buddha you should diligently instruct.”
Thereupon all those endowed with awesome virtue all felt blessed happiness, and upon hearing this, they received it with deference and took it up singlemindedly. The entire assembly, having made vast offerings with various adornments, bowed down at the feet of the Buddha, and they reverently clasped their palms together and spoke these words: “We but beg you to proclaim the world-saving phrases of empowerment for this Dharma teaching so that the path of Dharma vision may pervade everywhere and long remain in the world.”
Then the World-honored One uttered the mantra of the phrases of empowerment for this gateway to the Dharma: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ, sarvathā śiṃ śiṃ triṃ triṃ guṃ guṃ dhariṃ dhariṃ sthāpaya sthāpaya buddhasatya vā dharmasatya vā saṅghasatya vā hūṃ hūṃ vedavide svāhā. (Homage to all Buddhas! In every way, śiṃ śiṃ triṃ triṃ guṃ guṃ dhariṃ dhariṃ! cause to perdure, cause to perdure! either the truth of the Buddha or the truth of the Dharma or the truth of the Sangha! hūṃ hūṃ! O you who are conversant with [sacred] knowledge! svāhā!)138 [257]
Then, when the Buddha had finished expounding this scripture, all the vajradharas and the bodhisattvas headed by Samantabhadra and so on, hearing what the Buddha had said, were all overjoyed and believed, accepted, upheld, and practiced it.
