The Diagram of the One Vehicle Dharmadhātu with Accompanying Verses and a Single Seal was created by the Tang Dynasty Huayan master Venerable Fazang. This work emerged during the flourishing period of Huayan thought in Chinese Buddhism, employing a unified form of poetry, diagram, and seal to vividly elucidate the core doctrines of the Huayan school. Its content centrally manifests the perfectly interfused and unobstructed state of the dependent arising of the Dharmadhātu, where one is all and all is one, emphasizing that all phenomena return to the One Mind. This diagram is regarded as an important contemplative chart for practice within Huayan teaching, condensing the essence of Huayan through a unique artistic form. It holds a lofty position in the history of Chinese Buddhism and is a key text for understanding Huayan philosophy and its practical methods.

夫大聖善巧無方應機隨病非一迷之者守迹不知失體勤而歸宗未日故依理據教略製盤詩冀以執名之徒還歸無名之真源讀詩之法宜從中法為始盤迴屈曲乃至佛為終隨印道讀。

The Great Sage's skillful means have no fixed method; they respond to needs and accord with afflictions, offering countless approaches.

Those who are confused cling to traces and fail to see the essence. Though they strive diligently to return to the source, they cannot reach it in a single day.

Thus, according to principle and scripture, I have composed this spiral poem, hoping that those attached to names might return to the nameless true source.

The method for reading the poem is to begin at the center, following the spiral around and around until reaching the final character: "Buddha." Read following the spiral's path.
