VAJRA BODHI SEA

Volume II
Series 5, No.21
 

The purple lotus flower hand
With the subtle, wonderful, inconceivable purple lotus flower,
One quickly certifies to Bodhi, the Dharma of liberation.
One personally views the Buddhas of the ten directions.
And never again desends into the households of the six paths.
