At one time there was a great assembly with a wisdom king, indeed a great wisdom king!
\tHaving great power and compassion, he manifests a blue-black body.
\tHaving great meditative concentration, he sits upon a diamond1<\/a><\/sup> throne.
\tHaving great wisdom, he emanates a great flame.
\tHolding his sword of awareness, he maims the [Three Poisons] of greed, aversion, and delusion.2<\/a><\/sup>
\tHolding his noose of samadhi<\/em>,3<\/a><\/sup> he binds difficult attachments.
Having no characteristics as the Dharma-body,4<\/a><\/sup> voidlike, he dwells nowhere in particular, but resides in the heart-mind5<\/a><\/sup> of sentient beings. Though each being is different, he bestows benefits according to their inclinations towards complete enlightenment.

At that time, having heard the correct and true teaching, the assembly rejoiced and vowed to practice it.6<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u77f3  is a jewel (hence ‘diamond’), but note that \u91d1\u525b ‘adamantine, diamond’ is also the vajra.  \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  2. \u4e09\u6bd2(literally ‘three \u4e09 poisons \u6bd2’) does not appear in the text \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  3. I have refrained from using Sanskrit terms here, but samadhi<\/em> here is a transliteration of the word (R\u014dmaji: sanmai<\/em>) \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  4. Sanskrit Dharmak\u0101ya<\/em>. \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  5. \u5fc3 is often translated as either ‘heart’ or ‘mind’ but refers to the traditional Chinese heart of both emotions and thought, that is, the heart — therefore sharing a semantic field with the Western concepts of both heart and mind, hence heart-mind. \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>
  6. The traditional ending formula for sutras. \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
