「觀髮相已，次觀髮際，如赤真珠色，婉轉下垂。有五千光間錯分明，皆上向靡圍遶諸髮，從頂上出遶頂五匝，如天畫師所作畫法，團圓正等細如一絲。於其絲間生諸化佛，有化菩薩以為眷屬，諸天八部一切色象亦於中現，色如日輪不可具見，是名觀佛髮際。如此觀者名為正觀，若異觀者名為邪觀。」佛告父王：「此名如來髮際實觀。

> "Having contemplated the mark of the hair, next contemplate the hairline, which is the color of red genuine pearls, gracefully hanging downward. It has five thousand lights distinctly intermingled, all inclining upward and surrounding the hairs, emerging from the crown and encircling the crown five times, like the painting of a heavenly artist, spherical, even, and as fine as a single silk thread. Between those threads various transformation Buddhas emerge, with transformation bodhisattvas as their retinue; all forms and images of the devas and the eight classes also appear within them, their colors like the sun disc, impossible to see fully. This is called contemplating the Buddha's hairline. Contemplating in this manner is called correct contemplation; contemplating otherwise is called erroneous contemplation." The Buddha addressed his father the king: "This is called the true contemplation of the Tathāgata's hairline."
