He tames sentient beings and purifies all.
The Buddha, in every atom,
Displays infinite great mystic powers--
Sitting in each on the enlightenment site,
He speaks of past Buddhas enlightening deeds.
All , immense eons of past, present, and future,
Buddha reveals in every instant--
All the events of their formation and decay
His inconceivable knowledge comprehends.
The congregation of Buddhas Children is endlessly vast;
But though they try together to fathom Buddha state
The teaching of the Buddhas have no bounds--
To thoroughly know them all is most difficult.
Buddhas like space, without discrimination,
Equal to the real cosmos, with no resting place,
Phantom Manifestations Circulate Everywhere,
All sitting on enlightenment sites attaining true awareness.
Buddha teaches widely, with wonderful voice--
All stages of enlightenment are thoroughly clear
Appearing before each sentient being,
He gives all the Buddhas equal truth.
Furthermore the enlightening being Sublime Light of Pure Virtue, the Great Spiritual Hero found the door of liberation going to all assemblies of enlightening beings in the ten directions and adorning the sites of enlightenment. The enlightening being Light of the Supreme Lamp of Universal Virtue found the door of liberation in a single instant showing endless entrances to attainment of true awakening, teaching and developing inconceivable worlds of sentient beings.

The Enlightening Being Light of Inexhaustible Virtue of Universal Purity found the door of liberation entering into all mundane activities and producing the boundless practices of enlightening beings. The enlightening being Universal Supreme Light found the door of liberation able to manifest the spheres of all Buddhas within the formless realm of truth.
At that time the enlightening Being Sublime Light of Pure Virtue, the spiritual hero, empowered by the Buddha, looked over the ocean of liberation doors of all the enlightening beings and said in verse,
All lands there be in the ten directions
Are beautified and Purified all in an instant,
By the Sublime Voice turning the wheel of truth
Throughout the world, without an equal.
The realm of the Buddha has no bounds--
In an instant the cosmos is filled;
In every atom he sets up an enlightenment site,
Proving enlightenment in all creating mystic displays.
Buddha cultivated practices in the past
Extending through countless eons
Adorning all Buddha Fields,
Appearing unhindered, like space.
The Buddhas spiritual powers are unlimited,
Filling the boundless reaches of all time--
Even if one spent countless eons constantly observing,

Observe the realms of Buddha”s mystic power--
All lands in all quarters are beautifully pure:
