　　Sentient Beings, in the darkness of ignorance, are always deluded;

　　The Buddha expounds for them the teaching of dispassion and serenity.

　　This is the lamp of wisdom that illuminates the world:

　　Sublime Eyes knows this technique.

　　The Buddhas Body of pure subtle form

　　Is manifest everywhere and has no compare;

　　This Body has no essence and no resting place:

　　It is contemplated by Skillful Meditation.

　　The Voice of the Buddha has no limit or obstruction;

　　All those capable of accepting the teaching hear it.

　　Yet the Buddha is quiescent in forever unmoving;

　　This is the liberation of Delightful Knowledge.

　　Serene, emancipated, master of the celestial and the human,

　　There is nowhere in the ten directions he does not appear.

　　The radiance of his light fills the world:

　　This is seen by Majestic Banner of Unimpeded Truth.

　　The Buddha sought enlightenment for the sake of all beings

　　Over boundless oceans of eons;

　　With various spiritual powers he teaches all;

　　Light of Fame has realized this truth.

　　Furthermore, the celestial king Banner of the Delightful Light of Truth found the door of liberation in observing the faculties of all beings, expounding the truth for them, and cutting off their doubts. The celestial king Ocean Of Pure Adornments found the door of liberation, causing vision of Buddha whenever brought to mind. The celestial king Light Of Supreme Wisdom found the door of liberation realizing the body of adornments that have no basis and are equal in terms of phenomenal nature. The celestial king Banner of Independent Wisdom found the door of liberation of comprehending all mundane things and in a single instant setting up oceans of inconceivable adornments. The celestial king Delight in Tranquility found the door of liberation of manifesting inconceivable Buddha Lands in a single pore without hindrance. The celestial king Eye of Universal Knowledge found the door of liberation of all sided observation of the universe. The celestial king Delight in Use of Intellect found the door of liberation producing all kinds of displays for the benefit of all beings always appearing eternally. The celestial king Light of Intellect Sewn With Virtue found the door of liberation observing all objects in the world and entering into the truth of inconceivability. The celestial king undefiled tranquil light found the door of liberation showing all beings the essential ways of emancipation. The celestial king Vast Pure Light found the door of liberation of observing all teachable beings and guiding them into the way of enlightenment.

　　At that time the celestial king Banner of the Delightful Light of Truth, imbued with the Buddha”s power, surveyed all the hosts of the heavens of minor vastness, infinite vastness and vast results, and said in verse,

　　The realm of the Buddhas is inconceivable:

　　No sentient being can fathom it.

　　The Buddhas cause their minds to develop faith and resolution

　　And great enjoyment without end.

　　If any beings can accept the teaching,

　　The Buddha, with spiritual powers, will guide them

　　Causing them to always see the Buddha before them:

　　Ocean of Adornments sees in this way.

　　The nature of all things has no resting place—

　　The Buddhas appearance in the world is the same way—

　　They have no resting place in any state of being:

　　Supreme Wisdom can contemplate the meaning of this.

　　Whatever be the hearts desire of sentient beings,

　　The Buddhas spiritual powers can manifest.

　　Each different, they are inconceivable:

　　This is Wisdom Banners Ocean of liberation.

　　All lands existing in the past

　　They can show in a single Pore:

　　This is the great spiritual power of the Buddhas:

　　Delight in Tranquility can expound this.

　　The inexhaustible ocean of all teachings

　　Is assembled in the sanctuary of one teaching.

　　Such is the nature of truth explai…
