The Lord, the embodiment of compassion, With wisdom penetrating without obstruction, In order to ferry sentient beings across [to the other shore], Has explained the essence of the One-Truth. All this was accomplished via the path of Single-Taste, Never by means of the Hinayana (incomplete realization). Where the taste of the essence has been spoken, It enabled all to abandon the unreal. Accessing the wisdom-base of all the buddhas, That Absolute Reality, The entire audience (now) knows how to transcend the world, With no one unable to attain liberation (ultimately). All the innumerable bodhisattvas, Know how to ferry all sentient beings across (to the other shore). For the assembly, they inquired extensively and profoundly, On the calm-void characteristics of all dharmas. They accessed the Absolute domain [of enlightenment]. The Tathagata, through his wisdom and expedients, Speaks so that [all beings] will be able to access Reality, In accordance with the One-Vehicle, Without extraneous tastes. Like the soaking by a single rain, Multitudes of plants grow verdantly. According to the differences in their natures, Being soaked by the Dharma of Single-Taste, Everyone is completely fulfilled. Just as being soaked by a single rain, All their bodhi-sprouts are matured. Accessing the Diamond-Taste [of the diamond samadhi], They realized the absorption of the Reality of dharmas. They are determined to transcend doubts and regrets, Through the seal of the One-Dharma. --The Vajrasamadhi Sutra (Diamond Absorbtion Sutrua)
