By taking this up, one will retain the six perfections, and emptiness will have been established in one’s mind. When one verbally recites this constantly, one will understand all the aphoristic and extensive teachings,[2] one will purify the five deeds of immediate retribution, and one will also overcome all bad views.
This completes F.203.b “The Dhāraṇī of the Essence of the Six Perfections.”Notes
This dhāraṇī translates as, “Homage to the Truth Body, the Enjoyment Body, and the Emanation Body. It is thus: There is the perfection of giving, the perfection of ethics, the perfection of patience, the perfection of effort, the perfection of meditative concentration, and the perfection of wisdom. There is the emptiness of all phenomena. May auspiciousness abound.”
