Existing between heaven and earth, it serves as a sign of good fortune. / Struck from time to time, the ocean-like assemblies of the ten directions arrive; / sending forth its tone time and again, the foreign monks of the five regions of India shake off slumber. / Above the fragrant kitchen, it spreads a thousand beams of light across the realm of space; / unmixed with humans and devas, it draws in the single breath of the Great Void. / Great beings with minds stilled in contemplation hear it and become bright and refreshed in spirit; / confused Chan practitioners hear it and nod off to sleep in the hall. / Unbound by the six pitch-pipes, how could it be obstructed by the eight tones? / The fame and gain of the four evils have already been dispelled; / the intermediate sounds of the five beauties do not reach it. / The pearl from its mouth is ever spat out, yet those who discern treasures are hard to meet; / its dragon horns are ever extended, yet those who recognize dragons are rarely encountered. / Hiding its form in the Golden Valley, it feared being taken as a precursor to bells and drums; / manifesting its substance in the monastery, it serves as an instrument for pure youths. / Far beyond rivers and lakes, how could it be a fish that merely strikes its forehead? / Keeping oceans and mountains beside itself, it naturally possesses the momentum to soar into the heavens. / Comrades in robes, incline your ears / and listen to the perfect voice of liberation; / when the gate of Samantabhadra's universal eye opens, / see the boundless expanse and subtle details of heaven and earth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3.38) - [Next: 3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3.40) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992~en-mt.3.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1992.3.39) · Pramāṇa
