祕密教　西天此土傳流凡七世。初金剛薩埵於毘盧遮那前親受瑜珈五部蘇悉軌範。薩埵傳龍猛大士。龍猛傳龍智闍黎。住世皆數百年。龍智傳金剛智跋日羅菩提也。金剛智始來東土。傳之不空三藏。不空玄宗開元間復往天竺入師子國。從普賢阿闍黎受十八會金剛灌頂及大悲胎藏建壇之法。天寶五載還至京師。以所得法授慧朗法師。由朗而下南方厥嗣寖微降及末代。特所謂瑜珈佛事者存焉。

Esoteric Teaching: Transmitted between the Western Heavens and this land, it spans seven generations in all. At first, Vajrasattva personally received the rituals and models of the five families and susiddhi of Yoga in the presence of Vairocana. Vajrasattva transmitted it to the Great Being Nāgārjuna. Nāgārjuna transmitted it to Ācārya Nāgabodhi; each remained in the world for several hundred years. Nāgabodhi transmitted it to Vajrabodhi (Jingangzhi). Vajrabodhi was the first to come to the Eastern Land, transmitting it to Tripiṭaka Master Amoghavajra (Bukong). During the Kaiyuan era under Emperor Xuanzong, Amoghavajra again traveled to India, entering the Lion Country (Sri Lanka). From the Ācārya Samantabhadra, he received the Vajra consecration of the eighteen assemblies and the methods for constructing the maṇḍala of the Great Compassion Garbhadhātu. In the fifth year of the Tianbao era, he returned to the capital, and conferred the teachings he had obtained upon Dharma Master Huilang. From Huilang downward, in the southern regions this lineage gradually diminished, declining toward the latter age, until only what are called Yoga Buddhist rituals survived.
