Thirty-nine chapters in total, the One Vehicle’s Perfect and Sudden Wondrous Dharma Gate
Named for the pure good man, who from his first arousing of the mind already attains perfect enlightenment
The youth Sudhana sought wise teachers, Manjushri being foremost of all
Meghashri, Sagaramegha, Supratisthita the monk, Megha, Muktaka, Saradhvaja the elder
Ascetic Vishvamitra, Bhishmottaranirghosha, the maiden Jayoshmayatana
Maitrayani, Sudarshana, the brahmin Joyful Eyes leading a long journey, Prabhuta
Vairasana, Anavataptaakara, Simhavijurmbhita, Vasumitra
Vegitra the householder, the Bodhisattva of Dharma Wisdom Jewel
Anala the brahmin, Mahaprabha the king, Acala the upasika, Sarvagamin
Utpalabhuti, Sinhavijurmbhita, Vasumitra, Joyful Eyes Spirit who guards all sentient beings
Splendid Vows and Diligent Power spirit of rescue and protection

The Brahmin clan’s Most Tranquil, Sudarshana the youth, Yashodhara the maiden of virtue
Maitreya Bodhisattva, Manjushri, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva among countless multitudes
All gathering together at this Dharma assembly, foremost being the great Bodhisattva Samantabhadra
From the first arousing of the Bodhi mind, a hundred vows of Samantabhadra’s conduct and ocean of aspirations
Foremost in Samantabhadra’s conduct and vows, swiftly attaining the far shore, the Flower Treasury Sea
All Tathagatas of the three times ultimately attain Samantabhadra’s great wisdom

If one wishes to know all the Buddhas of the three times
One should contemplate the nature of the Dharma realm — all things are made by mind alone

May this merit extend to all beings everywhere
May we, together with all sentient beings, all attain the Buddha path
