I pay homage to Vairocana,

 

He illumines  all the directions

 

I offered the garland to adorn him

 

He removes  my darkness of delusion.

“If anyone wishes to understand. 

All people of the three periods of time, 

He should contemplate the nature of the Dharma Realm;

The Tathagatas are made from the mind alone”

“Vairocana Buddha’s light,

Lord of Flower Store World wealthy,

Shines even in the darkest places

Avatamsaka enlightened me.

Sudhana’s journey is admirable

To seek fifty-three good teachers

To attain his goal of Buddhahood

Vairocana Buddha, my savior.

--

Learning the wisdom of Manjusri,

Ten great vows of Samantabhadra

Bringing us to our real blissful home

Sukhavati of Lord Amitabha.

--

I praise Vairocana Buddha,

The Buddha of wisdom illumination.

He’s saved all sentient beings

From samsara, for our salvation.

National Master CH'ING LIANG, bringing up another example to act as an analogy for AVATAMSAKA  SUTRA, goes on to say, examine its profound purport

/If you investigate this mysterious and wonderful sutra, and examine its mysterious and wonderful purport, and then look into other sutras/

If, after having read the Flower Adornment Sutra, you then go on to read other sutras, or recite them, it is like a sunrise glorious in the sky/

It resembles the time when the sun, upon first arising, makes the light of the stars all disappear, thereby dimming multitudes of luminaries' splendor/

The "multitudes of luminaries" are all the other stars and the moon, the "splendor," that is, the light of which the sun absorbs, to the point of virtually extinguishing them--since it makes all their light disappear.

Even though in the eve­ning there are so many stars and the moon is so bright, they are still not as bright as the sun.

---THE AVATAMSAKA  SUTRA IS LIKE THE LIGHT OF THE SUN, WHICH DIMS THE LIGHT OF ALL THE STARS AND THE MOON, COVERING THEM UP SO THAT THEY ARE NO MORE.

 

---THAT IS TO SAY, WITHIN THE FLOWER ADORNMENT SUTRA ARE EXHAUSTIVELY DISCUSSED ALL OF THE PRINCIPLES FOUND IN ALL THE OTHER SUTRAS, AND SO IT IS DESCRIBED AS DIMMING ALL THEIR SPLENDOR, ALL THEIR LIGHT.

 

It is also like Sumeru which spreads across the seas/

Mount Sumeru is "Wonderfully High" Mountain, which, in the midst of seas of fragrant water, spreads out across the seas, lowering retinues of peaks' high altitudes/

None of the other mountains is as high as Mount Sumeru.

They seem to fall away when compared to its height, so it is said they are "lowered".

NOW, THE AVATAMSAKA  SUTRA IS HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER SUTRA, IN THE SAME WAY THAT MOUNT SUMERU, KING OF MOUNTAINS, IS HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER MOUNTAIN, AND SO IT SAYS,

 "Like Sumeru, which spreads across the seas, lowering retinues of peaks' high altitudes."

--

Mount Sumeru extends 42,000 yojanas above the surface of the seas and 42,000 yojanas below the surface as well. (A yojana is an Indian standard of measure.

 

A small yojana equals 40 miles, a middle yojana equals 60 miles, and a great yojana equals 80 miles.)

 

Mount Sumeru is shaped like" a triangle and half way up its sides is the Heaven of the Four Kings.

 

The Trayastrimsha Heaven is located on the peak of Mount Sumeru. Mt. Sumeru is in the middle of the world surrounded by seven fragrant seas.

 

 The waters of each of these seas surrounds the "Wonderfully High" Mountain. The four great continents are located in those seas.

--

One set of the four continents, one Mount Sumeru, and one sun and moon make up one world.

 

A thousand worlds makes a small thousand world.

 

A thousand small-thousand worlds makes one middle-thousand world.

 

 A thousand middle-thousand worlds makes one great thousand world.

 

Because of the progression of small, middle, and large, it is called a three thousand great-thousand world system.

 

---

 THE SUBTLE AND ESOTERIC PRINCIPLES OF THE FLOWER ADORNMENT SUTRA ARE AS LOFTY AS MOUNT SUMERU.

 

OTHER SUTRAS ARE LIKE THE LESSER PEAKS, WHICH CANNOT COMPARE TO MOUNT SUMERU IN HEIGHT.

 

* THEREFORE, THE FLOWER ADORNMENT SUTRA IS RIGHTLY KNOWN AS THE KING AMONG SUTRAS.
