A Single Flower Adorning Every World
The litany of Samantabhadra's sovereign power continues, each clause opening with the same refrain — "with a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation" — before naming what that freed mind accomplishes: containing every sentient being's body within a single body, adorning every world in the ten directions with a single flower, and entering a single Dharma-gateway only to find every other gateway illuminated at once.
One Gateway Opens Every Gateway
The final clause in this stretch names something the whole litany has been building toward: entering a single Dharma-gateway causes immeasurable light to illuminate every inconceivable gateway at once, "just as with this one Dharma-gateway, so too with every Dharma-gateway" — a single point of entry proving sufficient for total comprehension, rather than one gateway among many still to be found.
『以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,念念中令不可說不可說眾生住十力智,心無疲倦。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,於一切眾生身中,現一切佛自在神通,令一切眾生住普賢行。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,於一一眾生語言中,作一切眾生語言,令一切眾生一一皆住一切智地。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,於一一眾生身中,普容納一切眾生身,令皆自謂成就佛身。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,能以一華莊嚴一切十方世界。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,出大音聲,普遍法界,周聞一切諸佛國土,攝受調伏一切眾生。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,盡未來際不可說不可說劫,於念念中悉能遍入一切世界,以佛神力,隨念莊嚴。以無著無縛解脫心,成就普賢自在力,盡未來際所住之劫,常能遍入一切世界,示現成佛出興於世。以無著無縛解脫心,成普賢行,一光普照盡虛空界一切世界。以無著無縛解脫心,成普賢行,得無量智慧,具一切神通,說種種法。以無著無縛解脫心,成普賢行,入於如來盡一切劫不可測量神通智慧。以無著無縛解脫心,成普賢行,住盡法界諸如來所,以佛神力修習一切諸菩薩行;身、口、意業,曾無懈倦。以無著無縛解脫心,成普賢行,不違於義,不壞於法,言辭清淨,樂說無盡;教化調伏一切眾生,令其當得一切諸佛無上菩提。以無著無縛解脫心,修普賢行,入一法門時,放無量光,照不思議一切法門;如一法門,一切法門皆亦如是通達無礙,究竟當得一切智地。
'With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own sovereign power, thought after thought causing inexpressible, inexpressible sentient beings to abide in the wisdom of the ten powers, his mind never weary.

With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own sovereign power, able with a single flower to adorn every world in the ten directions. With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own sovereign power, emitting a great sound that universally pervades the Dharma-realm, heard throughout every buddha-land, gathering in and taming every sentient being. With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own sovereign power, and throughout every future age, for inexpressible, inexpressible kalpas, thought after thought is entirely able to enter every world, adorning it in accordance with each thought through the buddha's own spiritual power. With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own sovereign power, and throughout every kalpa in which he abides to the very end of the future, forever able to enter every world entirely, manifesting the accomplishment of buddhahood, arising within the world.

With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own practice, abiding in the presence of every Tathāgata throughout the entire Dharma-realm, cultivating and practicing every bodhisattva practice through the buddha's own spiritual power; the karma of his body, speech, and mind never once slackens or grows weary. With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he accomplishes Samantabhadra's own practice, never contradicting the meaning, never destroying the Dharma, his speech pure, delighting in expounding it inexhaustibly; teaching and taming every sentient being, causing them to attain the unsurpassed enlightenment of every buddha. With a mind of non-attachment, non-bondage, and liberation, he cultivates Samantabhadra's own practice, and when entering a single Dharma-gateway, he emits immeasurable light, illuminating every inconceivable Dharma-gateway; just as with this one Dharma-gateway, so too with every Dharma-gateway, all comprehended without obstruction, ultimately attaining the ground of all-wisdom.
"Able with a single flower to adorn every world in the ten directions" is deliberately understated against the vast claims surrounding it — inexpressible kalpas, every sentient being's body, the entire realm of empty space. The single flower is not a diminished version of these cosmic powers; it is the same unbounded capacity, simply exercised at the smallest possible scale.
Part 358 Complete
This continues the ninth dedication's litany of Samantabhadra's sovereign power. Chapter 25 continues in Part 359 as the bodhisattva attains mastery over the Dharma, reaching the farther shore adorned by Samantabhadra, contemplating and awakening to every domain with all-wisdom that is itself never exhausted.
