　　The Buddha freely appears in the world

　　To teach all living beings,

　　Showing the ways to truth, having them understand and enter,

　　Putting them in a position to realize highest wisdom.

　　His spiritual powers are as boundless as beings,

　　Displaying various forms according to their desires;

　　And all who see are freed from suffering:

　　This is Ubiquitous Lights power of Liberation.

　　Buddha, in the ocean of beings hindered by darkness,

　　Manifests the great light of the lamp of truth for them,

　　That light shining everywhere, so none do not see:

　　This is the liberation of Light Beam Arrays.

　　Commanding the various languages of all worlds,

　　Buddha teaches so that all can understand,

　　And the affliction of his hearers disappear:

　　This is the realization of Traveling Everywhere.

　　As many names as there are in all worlds,

　　Buddha Names emerge in equal numbers

　　Causing all beings to be free from ignorance:

　　This is the sphere of Ending Confusion.

　　If any sentient beings come before the Buddha

　　And hear the Buddhas sublime sound,

　　They will all be greatly delighted:

　　Traveling Throughout Space Understands this truth.

　　The Buddha, in every single instant,

　　Everywhere Showers the boundless rain of truth,

　　Causing all beings afflictions to perish

　　This is known to Cloud Banner

　　The Ocean of doings of all worlds

　　The Buddha equally shows,

　　Causing all beings to be rid of delusion by actions:

　　This is what Undisturbed Eye understands.

　　The Stage of omniscience has no bounds;

　　All the various mentalities of beings

　　The Buddha perceives with complete clarity:

　　This immense door the World Observer enters.

　　Buddha cultivated various practices in the past,

　　Completely fulfilling infinite transcendent ways,

　　Compassionately aiding all sentient beings:

　　This is the liberation of Universal Traveler.

　　Furthermore, the space spirit Pure Light Shining all around found the door of liberation knowing the mentalities of sentient beings in all realms of existence. The space spirit Traveling Everywhere Deeply found the door of liberation entering everywhere into the cosmos of reality. The space spirit Producing Auspicious Wind found the door of liberation comprehending the physical forms of boundless objects. The space spirit Abiding Securely Beyond Obstruction found the door of liberation able to remove all beings obstacles by delusions caused by actions. The space spirit Broad Steps and Beautiful Topknot found the door of liberation observing and contemplating them cast ocean of practical application. The space spirit Unhindered Light Flames found the door of liberation of the light of great compassion rescuing all sentient beings from danger. The space spirit Unobstructed Conquering Power found the door of liberation entering into the power of all virtues free from attachment. The space spirit Spotless Light found the door of liberation able to cause the minds of all beings to remove their veils and become pure. The space spirit Deep and Far Reaching Sublime Sound found the door of liberation of the light of knowledge seeing everywhere. The space spirit All Pervading Light found the door of liberation manifesting everywhere without moving from its own place.

　　At that time the space spirit Pure Light Shining All Around, imbued with the power of the Buddha, surveyed all the space spirits and spoke the following verses,

　　The Vast eye of the Buddha

　　Is pure and clear as space

　　Seeing all beings

　　With complete clarity

　　The great light of the Buddha Body

　　Illumines the ten directions

　　Manifesting in every place

　　Traveling Everywhere sees this way

　　The Buddha Body is like space

　　Unborn, it clings to nothing

　　It is ungraspable and without inherent nature

　　This is seen by Wind of Good Omen.

　　The Buddha, for countless eons

　　Has expounded all holy paths

　　Destroying barriers for all…
