Chapter 14 - The Eulogy Which Pleases

Then this song of the Great Joyous One was sung to the maṇḍala of all the Tathāgatas themselves. [1]

OṂ! Perfect in the ten directions and four times.
The maṇḍala of pristine cognition
Is the great seminal point.
The maṇḍala of merits is an assembly of Buddha-body.
Its appearance and emptiness is the seminal point.
Entirely perfect. HOḤ! [2]

OṂ! The Indestructible great seminal point of merit is:
The indestructible reality endowed with the maṇḍala of pristine cognition;
The indestructible reality, infinite in its great sound;
And the indestructible reality, king or great seminal point. HOḤ! [3]

OṂ! The great perfection of body, speech, and mind is:
Entirely perfect in enlightened attributes and activities;
The primordially and spontaneously perfect Samantabhadra;
And the great assembly that is gathered—
A great seminal point. HOḤ! [4]

OṂ! Without reference, the expanse
Of sameness or magical emanation
Entirely emanates as an infinite diversity.
The infinite (pristine cognition) is spontaneously
Absorbed from all directions.
And diverse (attributes emerge)—
The great Buddha-body, speech and mind. HOḤ! [5]

OṂ! Comprising all the atoms of the worlds within the ten directions,
The purposes of the conquerors, equal to the number of atomic particles,
Through unthinkable emanations, equal to the number of atomic particles,
(Have) spontaneously presence in an instantaneous moment of time. HOḤ! [6]

OṂ! All (maṇḍalas) without exception are Buddha-body, speech and mind:
The Great Identity of Buddha-body, speech and mind;
The Buddha-body, speech and mind which pervade all (objects);
And the great seminal point of Buddha-body, speech and mind. HOḤ! [7]

—Thus did he proclaim. This completes the fourteenth chapter from the Secret Nucleus Definitive with respect to the Real, entitled the Eulogy which Pleases. [8]
