The Buddha’s bodies, numerous as dustmotes in lands,
Everywhere send down the rain of Dharma.
Beyond birth and discrimination,
He appears in all worlds.
Through countless billions of eons,
In lands as numerous as dustmotes,
All the past deeds of the Buddha
Are told in full with wondrous sound.

The Buddha’s bodies, numerous as dustmotes in lands, / Everywhere send down the rain of Dharma. The manifestations of the Buddha’s Dharma body are as numerous as the dustmotes in countless Buddhalands. In order to teach and transform beings, the Buddha sends down the great Dharma rain everywhere. Beyond birth and discrimination, / He appears in all worlds. The Buddha is unborn and undying, and does not make any discriminations. He appears everywhere in the worlds of the Ten Directions.

Through countless billions of oceans of eons, / In lands as numerous as dustmotes, / All the past deeds of the Buddha, all the states of the Buddha’s past cultivation, are told in full with wondrous Dharma sound, in a great shower of Dharma rain.

Lands many as dustmotes in the Ten Directions
Are completely suffused with radiant nets.
Every luminous ray reveals a Buddha
Teaching all sentient beings.
The Buddha’s body, undifferentiated,
Fills the entire Dharma Realm,
Beings who see his physical form
Are skillfully subdued according to their capacities.

The Buddha’s body, undifferentiated, / Fills the entire Dharma Realm. The Buddha has only a single, nondual Dharma body, yet it fills the Dharma Realm. Beings who see his physical form / Are skillfully subdued according to their capacities. Through expedient and skillful means, the Buddha tames and subdues obstinate and unruly beings.

In all lands throughout the three periods of time,
The guiding teachers of beings,
Their names various and unique,
Speak for them and enable them to see.
The wondrous Dharma wheel
Turned by all Thus Come Ones
Of the past, present, and future
Can be heard in this assembly.

The disciples of the Buddha in this assembly
Skillfully cultivate multi-faceted wisdom.
These individuals can already enter
Expedient means such as these.
In every country and land,
They proclaim with mighty voices.
The Buddha’s practices of which they speak
Are heard widely in the lands of the ten directions.

In every country and land where a Buddha teaches beings, they proclaim with inconceivably mighty voices, / The Buddha’s practices of which they speak, how the Buddha cultivated, made vows, and attained to Buddhahood, are heard widely, all over the place, in the Buddhalands of the ten directions.

In each thought of their minds,
They contemplate all dharmas.
Dwelling fast in true thusness,
They comprehend the ocean of all dharmas.

In each thought of their minds and of each being’s mind, they contemplate and understand all dharmas. / Dwelling fast in the true thusness of the Dharma nature, they comprehend the ocean of all dharmas, the sea of the reality of all dharmas.

The Buddha, in each and every body,
Spanning inconceivable billions of eons,
Cultivated the paramitas,
And adorned and purified lands.
In each fine mote of dust,
He certified to all dharmas.
In this way, unimpeded,
He traveled the lands of the ten directions.

In his past lives, the Buddha cultivated limitless paramitas and boundless practices, such as making offerings to the Buddhas and adorning Buddhalands.

In each fine mote of dust, manifesting the small within the great, he certified to all dharmas and was able to expound all Buddhadharmas. In this way, unimpeded, in this unobstructed realm, which is beyond the understanding of ordinary people, he traveled the lands of the ten directions to teach beings.

He went to every Buddhaland,
Missing not a single one.
Observing the Buddhas’ spiritual powers,
He entered their practices.

He went to each Buddhaland to teach beings, missing not a single one. / Observing the Buddhas’ spiritual powers, / He entered their practices, the dharma doors cultivated by the Buddhas.
