且初敘述密呪功德深廣者,粗依聖教略出十門,廣有無量。(為人多不知密教深勝,故以十門讚揚用警未聞。若實一向捨顯讚密,亦非通人,《華嚴經》云:「受一非餘,魔所攝持。」勸諸後學若顯若密,或性或相,行則任在一門,信須圓通無礙,勿同盲人摸象弟子洗足。余曾有偈云:「大聖親宣五教文,千門萬戶入天真,遍觀受一非餘者,盡是佛家不了人。」又既準提總攝二十五部,即知已下十門皆說準提陀羅尼功德也。)
First, as for the account of the deep and vast merits of the esoteric mantras: relying broadly on the sacred teachings, I will outline ten gateways, though in their full extent they are boundless. (Because many do not know the deep superiority of the esoteric teaching, I use these ten gateways to praise it and alert those who have not heard. If one were truly to abandon the exoteric entirely and praise only the esoteric, one would not be an accomplished person either; the Avataṃsaka Sūtra says: "Accepting one while rejecting the rest is being held within Māra's grasp." I advise all later students: whether exoteric or esoteric, Dharmatā or Lakṣaṇa, in practice you may choose either gateway, but your faith must have perfect interpenetration without obstruction; do not be like the blind men feeling the elephant or the disciple washing feet. I once had a verse saying: "The Great Sage personally proclaimed the scriptures of the five teachings; / A thousand doors and ten thousand portals all enter the heavenly real. / Looking all around, those who accept one while rejecting the rest / Are all people who have not fully understood in the house of the Buddha." Moreover, since Cundī completely gathers in the twenty-five classes, one knows that the following ten gateways all expound the merits of the Cundī dhāraṇī.)
