離諸諂誑心清靜,常樂慈悲性歡喜,
智欲廣大深信入,彼聞此法生欣悅。
Beyond flattery and delusion if one’s heart is pure,
He or she is always joyful and merciful with graceful character.
For those who have broad determination and deep belief,
Joy shall be arisen while hearing the Dharma.
安住普賢諸願地,修行菩薩清靜道,
觀察法界如虛空,此乃能知佛行處。
Abiding in the state of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s Vows,
Practicing the pure Bodhisattva Way,
Observing Dharmadhatu as empty space,
Then they can know Buddha’s omnipresence(無所不在).
此諸菩薩獲善利,見佛一切神通力,
修餘道者莫能知,普賢行人方得悟。
All those bodhisattvas shall gain kind benefits,
Witnessing Buddha’s supreme power.
Others who follows non-Buddhist(外道) may not know,
Unless the practicers of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
眾生廣大無有邊,如來一切皆護念,

Sentient beings are infinite,
Yet Tathagatas bless them all.

汝應觀我諸毛孔,我今示汝佛境界。

十方刹海叵思議,佛無量劫皆嚴凈,
為化眾生使成熟,出興一切諸國土。
The oceans of worlds in ten directions are incredible;
Buddhas have adored and purified them all over immeasurable Kalpas.
In order to cultivate beings to mature;
Buddhas manifest in all worlds.
佛境甚深難可思,普示眾生令得入,
其心樂小著諸有,不能通達佛所悟。
A Buddha’s Realm is extremely profound and unimaginable,
Showing to all beings and guiding them to attain it.
However, those who incline to Small Vehicle are narrow-minded and stick to existence;
They can’t realize what a Buddha has attained.
若有凈治堅固心,常得親近善知識,
一切諸佛與其力,此乃能入如來智。
If those who have firm belief and pure minds,
They shall always be able to close with benefit friends(善知識).
All Buddha would confer them with power, Thus, they can gain the wisdom of Tathagata.
