大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Shubhakarasimha & Yixing 724) 7.65

The Vairocanābhisaṃbodhi Sutra 7.65

Language
English

7.65

There are handmaidens of samādhis, dhāraṇīs, the [ten] stages, and

[tenfold] freedom,

The Buddha’s pāramitās and so on, and wondrously ornate flowers

of bodhi:

With expedient means they perform sundry arts and sing the sounds

of the wondrous Dharma.

“On account of the power of my merit, the power of the Tathāgata’s

empowerment,

And the power of the Dharma realm I abide in universal offering.”

The vidyārājñī “Proceeding from the Treasury of Empty Space (Gaganagañja)” is: Namaḥ sarvatathāgatebhyo viśvamukhebhyaḥ, sarvathā khamudgate spharahīmaṃ gaganakaṃ svāhā. [276 = 141] <The method is that it should be recited many times.>

The empowerment of everything with this is no different from what

is real.

Form the adamantine hand-clasp: this is the seal of empowerment.

All dharmas are unborn for their own-nature is originally quiescent:

Think on this truth, and [then] place the letter A in the center

[of the lotus].

Next, you should transform the letter A into the Muni Vairocana:

Many [world-systems] inexhaustible like the dust motes of [countless

buddha] fields appear everywhere in his halo

In multiples of a thousand realms, and he emanates circles of fiery

light

That pervade the realms of beings and make them enlightened

according to their nature.

His body and speech are all-pervading, and so too is the Buddha’s

mind.

The color of pure gold from the Jambū [River] so as to conform

with the world,

He sits cross-legged on a lotus, meditating and free from the

[three] poisons;

He wears robes of light silk and has a crown of hair naturally done

in a topknot.

In the case of Śākyamuni, imagine the letter Bhaḥ in that [lotus]

And again transform this letter into the honored one Śākyamuni:

The striving hero has a kāṣā[ya] robe and the thirty-two attributes

of a great person.

The seed heart[-mantra] of Śākya[muni] is: Namaḥ samantabuddhānāṃ,

bhaḥ. [277 = 95]

The letter-gateway (Bhaḥ) changes into a buddha, who benefits beings

Just like the honored one Vairocana, and the yogin observes how

One body, two bodies, through to immeasurable bodies
