　　Working diligently with non-flagging vigor:

　　Joyful Intelligence knows this teaching.

　　The causes and conditions of the nature of actions are inconceivable—

　　The Buddha explains them for all the world.

　　The nature of things is fundamentally pure, with no defilements:

　　This is the entryway of Flower Light.

　　You should gaze on a pore of the Buddha—

　　All sentient beings are therein,

　　And they neither come nor go:

　　This is the understanding of Universal Sight.

　　Furthermore, the celestial king Contended found the door of liberation of all Buddhas bringing forth a complete, fully rounded teaching in the world. Celestial King Ocean of Joy and Bliss Topknot found the door of liberation of the body of pure light extending throughout the realm of space. Celestial king Banner of Supreme Virtues found the door of liberation of the ocean of pure vows to extinguish the sufferings of the world. Celestial King Still and Silent Light found the door of liberation of physical manifestation everywhere to expound the truth. Celestial King Pleasing Eyes found the door of liberation purifying the realms of all sentient beings. Celestial King Jewel Peak Moon found the door of liberation of the inexhaustible store of eternal manifestation teaching all worlds. Celestial King Courage and Strength found the door of liberation showing the realm of true awakening of all Buddhas. Celestial King Subtle Diamond Light found the door of liberation fortifying and solidifying all sentient beings will for enlightenment, making it unbreakable. Celestial King Constellation Banner found the door of liberation of techniques for associating with all Buddhas that appear, meditative investigation, and harmonization of sentient beings. Celestial King Pleasing Adornments found the door of liberation of instantly knowing the minds of sentient beings and appearing according to their potentials.

　　The Buddha is vast, extending throughout the cosmos,

　　Equal toward all sentient beings—

　　Universally responding to all hearts, he opens the door of wonder,

　　Causing them to enter the inconceivable pure truth.

　　The Buddha Body manifests everywhere in the ten directions;

　　Free from attachment and obstruction, it cannot be grasped.

　　In various forms it is seen by all worlds:

　　This is the entry of Topknot of Joy.

　　The Buddha cultivated various practices in the past,

　　His pure great vows deep as the sea;

　　All enlightening ways he causes to be fulfilled:

　　Supreme virtue knows these techniques.

　　The Buddhas Body is inconceivable;

　　Like reflections it shows separate forms, equal to the cosmos,

　　Everywhere clarifying all things:

　　This is the liberation door of Silent Light.

　　Sentient beings are bound and covered by habitual delusion—

　　Conceited, careless, their minds run wild.

　　The Buddha expounds for them the way to calm:

　　Pleasing Eyes, aware of this, rejoices at heart.

　　The true guide of all worlds,

　　He appears to rescue, to provide refuge,

　　Showing all beings the abode of peace and happiness:

　　Jewel Peak Moon enters deeply into this.

　　The state of the Buddha”s is inconceivable—

　　It extends throughout all universes,

　　Entering all things, reaching the other shore:

　　Courageous Intellect, seeing this, rejoices.

　　If any sentient beings can accept the teaching,

　　And, hearing the virtues of Buddha, strive for enlightenment,

　　He causes them to dwell in the ocean of bounty, forever pure:

　　Subtle Light is able to observe this.

　　The ocean of sentient beings minds is inconceiva…
