陀羅尼三昧法門偈云。是法法中高。猶如須彌山。是法法中海。眾源所共歸。是法法中明。猶如星中月。是法法中燈。能破無邊闇。是法法中地。荷載遍十方。是法法中母。出生諸佛種。

A verse from the Tuoluoni sanmei famen says:
‘This Dharma is the highest among phenomena,
Just like Mount Sumeru.
This Dharma is the ocean among phenomena,
To which all streams converge.
This Dharma is the bright light among phenomena,
Just like the moon among the stars.
This Dharma is the lamp among phenomena,
Able to destroy boundless darkness.
This Dharma is the earth among phenomena,
Bearing and supporting throughout the ten directions.
This Dharma is the mother among phenomena,
Giving birth to the seed of all Buddhas.’
