The śramaṇa Amoghavajra states: The Palace Emissary Wu Youyan arrived and proclaimed the sacred decree: as Amoghavajra's cloister today held a vegetarian feast, renowned incense was specially bestowed, and an imperial emissary was dispatched. Having received such immense favor, my rejoicing cannot be described. Amoghavajra is truly delighted and truly joyful. Relying upon the shade of the Dharma stream, Amoghavajra thought to propagate the esoteric teaching. Wandering alone over ten thousand li, I studied across the Five Indias. Focusing my contemplation on the ten directions, I paid homage to the Buddhas of the Padmagarbha; specializing in the five divisions, I plumbed the mantras of the Garden of Jetavana. Constantly arranging the syllables and contemplating the mind, I devoted myself to praying for protection, wishing to rely upon the power of the great vow to encounter the appearance of a Wheel-Turning King. Maintaining sincere devotion for ten years, I repeatedly met the enlightened sage. In former years, before the Hangu Pass was opened, while Your Majesty was cultivating virtue in the Spring Palace, I early on received Your virtuous words and Your gracious inquiries, and You also bestowed incense and medicine, secretly dispatching them for empowerment. When Your Majesty toured north, although Amoghavajra did not have the privilege of accompanying You, my disciple the monk Hanguang and others, returning from the west, were able to personally meet the imperial carriage; amid the rugged military expedition, they were privy to the discussions of the imperial succession plan. Although Amoghavajra was trapped in barbarian territory, my heart constantly served the imperial court. Frequently receiving secret edicts, my offerings all reached You. Your Majesty's sage plans operated uniquely, and the Dharma's power provided dark aid. The host of villains scattered and perished, and the imperial sovereignty was restored. Amoghavajra's humble self has again received imperial favor: in the tenth month, the palace was purified to establish an assembly to ward off demons; at the New Year court, an honorary title was presented, and You even came to the abhiṣeka altar. Painting and decorating the upper palace, practicing fumigation and cultivation in the side halls, having already permitted translation, You furthermore allowed the ordination of monks. The moistening favor is already deep; when can I ever repay it? I will respectfully bathe the images during the three periods and perform homa every half-month, hoping that the thirty-seven deities will protect the enlightened king's realm, and the sixteen protectors will augment the sage emperor's majesty and power, granting longevity like the Southern Mountain, everlasting without end. Unable to bear my supreme gratitude and joy, I respectfully present this memorial to offer thanks. The śramaṇa Amoghavajra, truly delighted and truly joyful, respectfully speaks.
