大毘盧遮那成佛經疏 9.82

9.82

「爾時金剛手白佛言：如我知佛世尊所說義，我亦如是知自漫荼羅位住。世尊尊主現威令作彼位，如是如來教勅不敢隱弊。何以故？以此佛三昧耶，一切諸真言所師，謂性住者」，謂金剛手白佛言：「此大力不動明王（即是尊主也）能作如是威猛之事，能為調伏，為傳如來祕密之教令使。」如本尊是佛部，即坐金輪中之類，若如是作必令有靈驗。此之現威，即是効驗之語也。令作者，今謂若如是作，必令有効也。諸生死中普得聞知，不敢隱弊此真言。是故持金剛者，大力威猛所不敢隱弊。謂此尊有靈驗故，所作善事皆成，諸為障者不敢隱弊如來所教勅也。應作事，此亦即是十方三世佛三昧耶。我等一切執金剛亦應作所應作，隨此三昧不敢失墜。何以故？此即是諸金剛姓，是故常住斯法。四姓等各各有家法，若失家法則不名敬順先祖父之教，世人名為惡子。今此大雄猛調伏難調，宣布難信之教，是我金剛等家姓之法，所謂如來種家之家法也。是等真言門菩薩、修行等菩薩、本位住一切事作者，是金剛手以身勸勉行人之意。我等所應作事，若修行持真言者，亦當住此位，所謂如來家法。應以無量門降伏諸障，令如來法無敢隱弊也。此行人亦放諸尊，若欲作降伏，即須自身作不動尊住於火輪中等。佛言：「如是。祕密主！如是如說。」即是印可，誠如汝所言也。

"At that time Vajrapāṇi addressed the Buddha, saying: 'Just as I know the meaning taught by the Buddha, the Bhagavat, I also likewise know the abiding in the positions of one's own maṇḍala. The Bhagavat, the Lord of the Honored Ones, manifests majestic power to have those positions established; thus no one dares conceal or obstruct the Tathāgata's instructions. Why is this? Because by this samaya of the Buddha, all mantras are mastered, which means abiding in the nature.'" That is, Vajrapāṇi addressed the Buddha, saying: "This mighty Acala Vidyārāja (who is the 'Lord of the Honored Ones') is able to perform such formidable deeds, is able to effect subduing, and serves as an emissary who transmits the Tathāgata's secret teachings." Just as when the fundamental deity belongs to the Buddha division, he sits within a golden wheel and the like; if one acts in this manner, it will surely be made efficacious. This "manifesting majestic power" refers to efficacy. "To have them established" means here that if one acts in this way, it will surely be made effective. Throughout all births and deaths, it will be universally heard and known, and none will dare conceal or obstruct this mantra. Therefore, by the vajradharas' great power and majesty, nothing dares conceal or obstruct it. This means that because this honored one is efficacious, all virtuous deeds undertaken are accomplished, and all obstructors dare not conceal or obstruct what the Tathāgata has instructed. The deeds to be done are also the samaya of the Buddhas of the ten directions and the three times. All of us vajradharas must also perform what ought to be performed, and according to this samaya, not dare to let it fail or decline. Why is this? Because this is the lineage of the vajras; therefore we constantly abide in this Dharma. Just as the four castes each have their own family rules, and if one loses the family rules one is not called respectful and obedient to the teachings of one's ancestors and is called a wicked son by worldly people—now, this great, heroic subduing of the difficult-to-subdue and proclaiming of the difficult-to-believe teaching is the custom of our vajra family lineage, namely the family rules of the Tathāgata's lineage. These bodhisattvas of the mantra gateway, the practicing bodhisattvas, who abide in their fundamental positions and perform all tasks—this is Vajrapāṇi's intention of encouraging practitioners by his own example. As for the deeds that we ought to perform, if a practitioner who upholds mantras also abides in this position, it is called the family rules of the Tathāgata. Through immeasurable gateways he should subdue all obstacles, so that none dare conceal or obstruct the Tathāgata's Dharma. This practitioner also emulates the honored ones: if he wishes to perform subduing, he must personally become the honored Acala, abiding in a wheel of fire, and so forth. The Buddha said: "So it is, Lord of Secrets! It is just as you have said." This is his affirmation: truly it is as you have spoken.
