　　The Light of Wisdom, Pure, Fills the world;

　　Any who see it are relieved of ignorance

　　And cause to leave to evil ways:

　　Realm of Peace realizes this truth.

　　The Light of a hair pore is able to expound

　　Buddha Names as numerous as sentient beings.

　　According to their pleasure, they all can hear it:

　　This is Splendid Disc Banners Liberation.

　　The Buddhas freedom cannot be measured—

　　It fills the cosmos and all space.

　　All the congregations see it clearly:

　　This liberation door Flower Intellect enters.

　　Over oceans of eons, infinite, boundless,

　　Manifesting everywhere and preaching the truth,

　　Never has a Buddha been seen to have any going or coming:

　　This is the enlightenment of Wonderful Light.

　　Furthermore, the celestial king Skilful Transformation found the

　　door of liberation of the power of magical displays demonstrating all actions. Celestial King Light of Silent Sound found the door of liberation of relinquishing all clinging to objects. Celestial King Light of the Power of Transformation and Emanation found the door of Liberation Annihilating the Ignorant Muddled Minds of all beings and causing their wisdom to become fully complete. Celestial King Master of Adornments found the door of liberation manifesting unlimited pleasing sounds. Celestial King Light of Mindfulness found the door of liberation knowing the infinite virtuous characteristics of all Buddhas. Celestial King Supreme Cloud Sound found the door of liberation knowing the process of becoming and decay of all past ages. Celestial King Supreme Light found the door of Liberation of Knowledge to Enlighten All Beings. Celestial King Exquisite Topknot found the door of liberation shedding light swiftly filling space in all directions. Celestial King Joyful Wisdom Found the Door of Liberation of the Power of Energy whose deeds cannot be ruined by anyone.

Celestial King Seeing in all Directions found the door of liberation showing inconceivable differences in form and kind of sentient beings.

　　At that time the celestial king Skilful Transformation imbued with the majestic power of the Buddha, surveyed the whole host of celestial beings of the heavens of enjoyment of emanations and said in verse,

　　The essence of the doings of the world is inconceivable—

　　The Buddha teaches all about it for the confused,

　　Skillfully explaining the true principle of causality

　　And the different doings of all sentient beings.

　　Looking at the Buddha in various ways, there”s nothing there;

　　Seeking him in all directions, he can”t be found.

　　The manifestations of the reality body have no true actuality:

　　This is truth is seen by Silent Sound.

　　The Buddha cultivated many practices over oceans of eons

　　In order to extinguish the ignorance and confusion of the world.

　　Therefore his purity is the most radiant light:

　　This is the realization of the mind of Light Power.

　　Of the sublime sounds and voices in the world,

　　None can compare to the Buddhas Sound.

　　The Buddha pervades the ten directions with a single sound:

　　Entering this liberation is the Master of Adornment.

　　All the power of wealth in the world

　　Is not equal to a single characteristic of the Buddha—

　　The virtues of the Buddha are like space:

　　This is perceived by Mindful Light.

　　The infinite ages of past, present, and future,

　　The various aspects of their becoming and decay,

　　The Buddha can show in a single pore—

　　Supreme Cloud Sound can comprehend this.

　　The extent of all space may be known,
