第三十五章
35.1At that time the blessed Śākyamuni again directed his gaze at the realm of the Pure Abode [F.245.a] [F.262.a] and entered the samādhi called that which animates the great receptacle of mudrās of the tathāgatas . As soon as he entered this samādhi, a great light issued from the tuft of hair between his eyebrows. This mass of light, surrounded by innumerable billions of light rays, illuminated many buddhafields, arousing all the buddhas [dwelling there], and entered back into Lord Śākyamuni’s tuft of hair. {35.1}
35.1此時，佛陀釋迦牟尼再次將目光投向淨居天領域，進入了一個名為「激活如來手印偉大容器」的三昧。一旦他進入了這個三昋，一道巨大的光芒從他兩眉之間的髮髻發出。這團光芒被無數億條光線所包圍，照亮了許多佛土，喚醒了所有住在那裡的諸佛，然後又返回到釋迦牟尼佛的髮髻中。
35.2As soon as they were roused, all the blessed buddhas entered the samādhi of the nature of the sky and positioned themselves in the sky above the Pure Abode. Having greeted all of them reverentially, the blessed Śākyamuni spoke to Mañjuśrī, the divine youth, as follows:
35.2諸位福德圓滿的佛陀一旦被喚醒，就進入了虛空本性的三昧，並且在淨居天上空安住下來。福德圓滿的釋迦牟尼恭敬地向他們所有人行禮致敬後，就對妙吉祥天童文殊師利這樣說道：
“Listen, Mañjuśrī, about the procedures pertaining to the receptacle of mudrās, blessed by all the buddhas to come.” {35.2}
「妙吉祥天童，請聽聞關於手印容器的儀軌程序，此乃蒙受一切未來諸佛祝福者。」{35.2}
35.3Mañjuśrī, the divine youth, prostrated to the feet of the Blessed One, bowed to all the buddhas, and spoke to blessed Tathāgata Śākyamuni as follows: {35.3}
35.3妙吉祥天童對世尊的雙足頂禮，向所有諸佛行禮，並向釋迦牟尼如來開口說道：
35.4“Very good, O Blessed One! Please teach, if you think that the time is right, the most secret chapter on the receptacle of the mudrās of all the tathāgatas. This will be for the benefit and happiness of many people. Teach it out of kindness for the world, for the welfare and happiness of great numbers of people. This will create happiness and the ripening [of the causes of] happiness for gods, men, and all beings.” {35.4}
35.4「甚善，世尊！若時機適當，願您教授諸如來手印容器的最秘密章節。這將為眾多人帶來利益和幸福。請以慈悲心為世間說法，為眾多人的福祉和幸福而開示。這將為天、人及一切有情帶來幸福，及幸福之因的成熟。」{35.4}
35.5Being thus supplicated by Blessed Mañjuśrī, the divine youth, the blessed Śākyamuni began to teach, gazing at all the buddhas, directing his attention to all the beings, gladdening all the bodhisattvas, perfectly calming [F.245.b] [F.262.b] all the pratyekabuddhas and noble śrāvakas, animating all those whose minds were occupied with the meaning of their respective mantras, keeping all the evil beings at bay, restoring confidence in all the frightened ones, and establishing in the ease of the auspicious nirvāṇa all those that were in difficult predicaments. For the happiness of all suffering beings, he taught the procedures from the chapter on the mudrās as follows: {35.5}
35.5世尊釋迦牟尼被妙吉祥天童文殊師利如此祈請後，開始說法。他注視著諸佛，將注意力轉向所有眾生，令諸菩薩歡喜，使緣覺佛和聲聞得到完全的寧靜，激勵所有心中專注於各自咒語義理的修行者，驅除所有惡道眾生，恢復所有恐懼者的信心，並將陷入困境的眾生安置在吉祥涅槃的安樂中。為了使所有受苦眾生得到幸福，他傳授了手印章節的修習方法，內容如下：
