If you understand your own seed and its mark, all Buddhas are included here; When both transformations are in harmony, this is true offering to Vajra Being.

Great wisdom knows the seed; love and compassion unite as one; Abiding in equanimity when both correspond, the non-dual Dharma breaks duality.

Abiding equally in the mandala, the great corresponding Dharma emerges from it; Play, laughter, speech, and dance are all Buddha's skillful speech.

With body, speech, and mind in visualization, use the wisdom thread for the boundary; Arrange the mandala according to the method, with four gates, four doors, and four towers.

Four lines, measured equally, divide the altar's corners; with the Niryūha and Vitāna symbols; Half and full garlands, jeweled whisks, seven-jeweled flower garlands as adornments.

Place the wonderful lotus within the altar; the mind-mandala is supreme; The tower represents true wisdom; its peak stands high and prominent.

Observe the four outer directions of the altar; all beings emerge everywhere; The four minds of kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity represent the four lines.

If the four lines are balanced, right mindfulness of Dharma arises; If one is not free from all views, the wisdom line brings liberation.

The lotus adorning the altar represents the supreme pure precepts; The four directions' central five walls represent the five faculties of faith, etc.; The mandala's gates, everywhere explained, represent the eight liberating gates; The four towers at the four gates represent the four right efforts; The four Vitāna of the altar represent the four foundations of mindfulness; The four types of Niryūha represent the four psychic powers; The seven-jeweled flower garlands, wonderfully adorned, represent the seven awakening factors; The four gates and eight pillars should be known as the eightfold noble path.

The full garland in the altar represents the complete cutting of all afflictions; The garland's essence is supreme wisdom, thus it can eliminate all afflictions.

The half-garland represents the half-cutting of afflictions; Because self and other actions correspond, half of the covering afflictions are cut.

Selflessness is equal like space; non-attachment's wonderful wisdom is supreme; When the mind of attachment is pure, duality ceases; this is called wisdom's adornment.

If one attains enlightenment through non-attachment, enlightenment would differ from attachment; Since the mind of enlightenment is undifferentiated, attachment and non-attachment are non-dual.

The worldly dualism of attachment and non-attachment should be skillfully contemplated; Seal-success arises from attachment; all else also succeeds.

If one dwells in a tamed worldly mind, practice of the corresponding equality begins; When the untamed mind is purified, even this is offering.

All elaborated aspects are merely the marks of perceived fields; When sealed by body, speech, and mind, what is sealed is true wisdom.

Visualize this seal in harmony; within all seals, become ever free; If you understand this sealing method, visualize all seals perfected.

Harmonize with all external perceptions; having known, practice equally in accord; When all aspects align, every accomplishment is complete.

If the former sound is heard, it signifies the former term; If the later sound is heard, it signifies the later meaning.

If the former sound is heard, it signifies the cause; If the later sound is heard, it signifies the result.

The Buddhas, World-Honored Ones, have no duality; in them, cause and result are unobtainable; In the essential-absence gate of Dharma, therefore, all dharmas are permanent.

Knowing one's own mind, this is Buddha; the one who knows and what is known are both forgotten; In the realm of the Buddhas, the Bodhi mind remains undifferentiated.

All beings possess the nature of light; it is equal everywhere; The nature of beings is originally pure; enlightenment is established through this.

With mind unmoving, skillfully locked; firmness is naturally accomplished; In the crown, dwell in meditative concentration; wearing armor for protection, ever valiant.

All Buddhas truly know that Vajra speech is the Thus-Gone One! The two gates of Samāpatti are no different from Vairocana Buddha.

The twelve-year-old goddess in the teaching represents the Buddha Thus-Gone! The sixteen-year-old represents the Sixteen Vajra-Wielders, etc.! The twenty-year-old goddesses (Devi) represent the twenty secret deities! They perform twenty offering rites; the twenty beings are to be understood accordingly.

One's own goddess from the main family represents one's own great mantra; Another's goddess from another family evokes another's great mantra.

Truly understanding all actions, the mind-mandala is supreme; Making offerings requires single-pointed devotion; offer with body, speech, and mind.

Join your own Vajra scepter and lotus; both aspects births equally; See your own seed-form as the Buddha's form; this is true Vajra Being offering.

The full and half garlands, jeweled whisk, and other ornaments appear as before; The mandala's dimension here should be twelve or sixteen cubits.

Then gradually increase to twenty, the mandala pattern universal; When using twenty-five cubits, do the twenty-five cubit measure.

Within the mandala's gate, divide it into nine parts according to ritual; Distribute the Niryūha accordingly; examine the mandala gate well.

The inner mandala is made equal; the mandala's half- Niryūha; Thus staying within the nine divisions, arrange the mandala corners well.

Within the four directions of the altar, place the four Vitāna symbols; When the five colors harmonize, the five mandalas are adorned.

The five eyes, seeing, purify evils; the five colors are the Five Thus-Gone Ones! When the five Buddhas' Dharma corresponds equally, the earth has the five colors' adornment.

Within the five mandalas, visualize placing the five Buddhas according to their directions; The five kinds of merit are complete; the five colors are the five samadhis.

The center ground of the altar is pure, the color of moonstone (Candra-kānta); The eastern side is deep blue; the southern yellow, as prescribed; The western red accordingly; the northern Mañjiṣṭha (red) color.

Use the Vitāna signs everywhere, except on the gate path.

In the altar, Vairocana Buddha! Visualize the form of crystal and moonlight; All Buddhas are included in this unity; this is the Fearless Eye Thus-Gone One!

Again, within the mandala, visualize the supreme, excellent wisdom of all Buddhas; Born from the realm of space, the supreme moon mandala.

Having visualized all Buddhas' forms there, next visualize the Buddha-Eye Bodhisattva! With pure, large eyes, an excellent face, the color of moonstone, All her body parts perfect and complete, the foremost of all consorts, Visualize her holding the great wheel, causing the three worlds to be respectful; Next, visualize the wisdom of accomplishing actions, equal to the realm of space, Emerging from the Space-Vajra, the supreme moon mandala; Having visualized all Buddhas' forms there, next visualize the Holy Mumuki! With pure, large eyes, an excellent face, the color of a blue Utpala flower, All her body parts perfect and complete, the foremost of space-magic creation, Holding a blue Utpala flower, causing the three worlds to surrender.

Next, visualize the pure wisdom of enlightenment, equal to the realm of space, Emerging from the Space-Vajra, the supreme moon mandala. Having visualized all Buddhas' forms there, next visualize the White-Robed Bodhisattva! With pure, large eyes, an excellent face, the color of lotus-gem light, All her body parts perfect and complete, the secret Vajra Dharma wisdom, Holding a red Utpala flower, constantly perceived by all Buddhas.
