Desiring to erect a maṇḍala in this ground to practice recitation assiduously, may the matter I seek be swiftly accomplished. I only pray that the Earth Spirit remember her fundamental vow, permit me to erect the maṇḍala, and protect and assist me, not allowing the heavenly Māra and evil spirits to cause hindrances. Just as our fundamental teacher, the Tathāgata Śākyamuni, sat under the bodhi tree and subdued the host of māras, so too do I now. If there are to be hindrances, may the buddhas and bodhisattvas reveal portents in advance, enabling me to discern the beginnings of good or evil. I only pray that the fundamental deity and the Vidyārājas protect and remain mindful of me, not allowing ghosts and spirits to suddenly manifest their forms to deceive and bewilder me; if there are no hindrances, may I see auspicious and sublime realms.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.29) - [Next: 1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.31) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911~en-mt.1.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.911.1.30) · Pramāṇa
