05.Title of the Treatise..g2.0f

English

It is merely the Vajra thread. Therefore, there is no reason to perform the thread ritual before the installation of the deity, and it is harmful, so do not cling to wrong views. Now, the indispensable supplication ritual here is only this much: In the realm of space, visualize the object of supplication, the complete Kalachakra mandala of the beginningless accomplished time wheel, fully abiding. Visualize immeasurable Buddhas and Bodhisattvas pervading all directions, inside and outside, without fixed places, and extensively arrange offerings, bless them, and offer praise. Supplicate for the sake of writing the mandala of the three lines beginning with "Sentient beings," and merely think of granting permission; abundant offerings are good. This is the direct instruction of the tantra commentary, so in reality there is no deficiency, it possesses all qualities, and there is no excess or deficiency. The usual practice of the direct instruction for entering the mandala ritual is: Later, when performing ritual ceremonies in Tibet, it is necessary to have beautiful arrangements and not too much elaboration of words and phrases, without contradicting the meaning. This is also the oral instruction of the lineage of gurus, adorned with slightly more practice, and it is also good for combining the terminology of deity installation. For this, the preliminary of the supplementary practice is self-generation with recitation, applying fragrance to the base of the mandala, drawing various dry lines, placing drops of fragrant water or colored powder piles on the deity's seat, and preparing offerings and tormas. The main practice is sweeping and purifying, instantly generating the mandala, inviting the guests. Perform outer offerings, inner offerings, etc., and offer praise as appropriate. After the supplication, descend the listening and offer the torma. The subsequent practice is blessing the offerings, offering praise and supplication, filling deficiencies, confessing, sending the deities, making aspirations, and auspiciousness. Among these, the three of applying fragrance, drawing lines, and placing colored powder piles during the preliminary; the three of sweeping and purifying, inviting guests, and descending the listening during the main practice; all the subsequent rituals are additional supplements that are not explicitly stated in the tantra commentary. Offering the torma, although not a part of the supplication, is necessary on the days of the supplementary practice.

因此,这不是经续注释中未解释的补充类型。第二,五种物质的剩余位置中,第一,瓶子的剩余位置有瓶子的材料、瓶子的大小、瓶子的数量、内部物质的确定、产生允许的方式这五个方面需要考察。第一方面,经续中说:“同样,水晶瓶和纯银,自性吉祥的颅骨,以及铁的,铜,以及金瓶,极其明亮,确定无疑地从树木中产生,以及土地的自性。”意思是说,寂静业用水晶瓶,增益业用银,诛杀业用人头骨,驱逐和分离业用铁,怀柔业用金,勾招业用铜,坚固业用土,蒙昧业用木头瓶。对于灌顶和开光等,与所有事业相同。也就是,大小与息增怀三者任何一个相同。材料是金银水晶三者任何一个最好,或者按照通常的习惯。如果找不到,用土做的陶瓶也可以。水晶和银用本身的白色就可以,金也用本身的颜色就可以,所以不需要变成白色。如果是土做的,据说要变成白色。对于各个事业,金银铜铁水晶等用本身的颜色,头骨用墓地的煤和人的脂肪涂抹成黑色,土和木头的瓶子做成黄色。第二,瓶子的大小:息增业,肚子圆的粗细直径十六指,肚子本身的高度十四指,瓶子整体的高度二十指,嘴唇下垂两指,颈部的高度一般有六指,但是两指在嘴唇下垂的下面,所以是四指。口的直径是八指。将其分为三份,中间的两份是口的孔和颈部的管子。左右各一半是口张开的部分。意思是说,分为六份,中间的四份是孔。粗略计算,五指是口的孔,口边缘的宽度各是两指半。这里的指也用拇指作为标准。坚固业,肚子特别的高度十二指,一般粗细长短直径高度相同,都是十六指。颈部的高度四指,嘴唇下垂厚厚的两指。

Therefore, this is not the type of supplement that is not explained in the tantra commentaries. Second, among the five remaining positions of substances, first, the remaining position of the vase has five aspects to be examined: the material of the vase, the size of the vase, the number of vases, the determination of the internal substances, and the manner of allowing production. First, the tantra says: "Likewise, a crystal vase and pure silver, a skull of auspicious nature, and of iron, copper, and a golden vase, extremely bright, certainly born from wood, and the nature of earth." It means that for pacifying, use a crystal vase; for increasing, use silver; for subjugating, use a human skull; for expelling and separating, use iron; for magnetizing, use gold; for attracting, use copper; for solidifying, use earth; for bewildering, use a wooden vase. For empowerment and consecration, etc., it is the same as all activities. That is, the size is the same as any of the three: pacifying, increasing, and magnetizing. The material is best made of any of the three: gold, silver, or crystal, or according to the usual custom. If not found, an earthenware vase made of earth is also acceptable. Crystal and silver are acceptable in their natural white color, and gold is also acceptable in its natural color, so it does not need to be changed to white. If it is made of earth, it is said that it should be changed to white. For each activity, gold, silver, copper, iron, and crystal are used in their natural colors, the skull is painted black with charcoal from the cemetery and human fat, and the earth and wooden vases are made yellow. Second, the size of the vase: For pacifying and increasing activities, the diameter of the round belly is sixteen fingers, the height of the belly itself is fourteen fingers, the overall height of the vase is twenty fingers, the overhanging lip is two fingers, and the height of the neck is generally six fingers, but two fingers are below the overhanging lip, so it is four fingers. The diameter of the mouth is eight fingers. Dividing it into three parts, the middle two parts are the mouth hole and the neck tube. Each half of the left and right parts is the open part of the mouth. It means that dividing it into six parts, the middle four parts are the hole. Roughly calculated, five fingers are the mouth hole, and the width of the mouth edge is two and a half fingers each. The finger here is also measured by the thumb. For solidifying activities, the special height of the belly is twelve fingers, generally the thickness, length, diameter, and height are the same, all sixteen fingers. The height of the neck is four fingers, and the thick overhanging lip is two fingers.

。口的宽度六指。制作和区分时,腹部要小,即圆形周长十二指。颈部八指,有三重弯曲。嘴唇一指。高度二十四指。口的宽度六指的三分之一是子口。镇压时,头盖骨要做成鸟蛋状,即手孔要做成瓶口状。又有人认为是头盖骨制成的瓶子,但这不好。还有人认为是头盖骨碗,但头盖骨碗是镇压事业中非常重要的,因此瓶子和伟大的胜利者这两者之间似乎需要有所区分,所以只有前者是合理的。在怀柔方面,形状和尺寸没有定规,取决于工匠的制作方式。对于愚昧,虽然没有明确的说明,但类似于僵硬。对于所有事业,应与息增怀三者中的任何一个相对应。关于“瓶子没有根和黑色”的说法,如果是陶瓶,则指在烧制时没有黑点,除了怀柔瓶之外,都没有根,也就是没有底座。将颜色变成白色,可以用白色檀香的糊,或用米浆涂抹,甚至用白土也可以。第三,瓶子的数量。按照此续部的说法,一旦建造了大的坛城,如果条件允许,不能少于五个,如果多,可以多到与天神数量相等,甚至更多,直到无边无际。然而,五或十的数量是最重要的。一般来说,在此续部中,形象和名称相同的瓶子是五个或十个,形象和名称不同的瓶子是:在五个的方面,是胜利瓶,即第六个;在十个的方面,是伟大的胜利者,即第十一个。这两个虽然有名为瓶子,但形象是海螺、头盖骨或供养的容器。因此,伟大的胜利者一定是瓶子的形象,而八个方向的八个瓶子和胜利的瓶子一定是具有瓶子形象的,并且两者都有胜利的含义。在五个瓶子形象的方面,胜利是海螺,而在十个的方面,则是瓶子的形象本身。如果超过十个,多一个,则是主尊父母;多两个,则是父母各自;多三个,则是主尊父母和眷属总集;多四个,则是眷属的心坛城和语坛城,互相帮助。

. The width of the mouth is six fingers. When making and distinguishing, the abdomen should be small, that is, the circumference of the circle is twelve fingers. The neck is eight fingers, with a triple bend. The lip is one finger. The height is twenty-four fingers. One-third of the width of the mouth, six fingers, is the child's mouth. When suppressing, the skull should be made into the shape of a bird's egg, that is, the hand hole should be made into the shape of a bottle mouth. Some people also think that it is a bottle made of skulls, but this is not good. Others think it is a skull bowl, but the skull bowl is very important in the cause of suppression, so it seems necessary to distinguish between the bottle and the great victor, so only the former is reasonable. In terms of subduing, the shape and size are not fixed, depending on how the craftsman makes it. For ignorance, although there is no clear explanation, it is similar to stiffness. For all actions, it should be combined to be similar to any of the three: pacifying, increasing, or controlling. Regarding the statement that "bottles have no roots and are not black," if it is a pottery bottle, it means that there are no black spots when firing, and except for the subduing bottle, there is no root, that is, no base. To change the color to white, you can use white sandalwood paste, or smear it with rice water, or even use white soil. Third, the number of bottles. According to this tantra, once a large mandala is built, if conditions permit, it should not be less than five, and if there are more, it can be as many as the number of deities, or even more, up to infinity. However, the number of five or ten is the most important. Generally speaking, in this tantra, the bottles with the same image and name are five or ten, and the bottles with different images and names are: in the aspect of five, it is the victory bottle, that is, the sixth; in the aspect of ten, it is the great victor, that is, the eleventh. Although these two have the name of bottle, the image is a conch, skull, or offering container. Therefore, the great victor must be the image of a non-bottle, and the eight bottles in the eight directions and the victory bottle must have the image of a bottle, and both have the meaning of victory. In the aspect of the five bottle images, victory is the conch, while in the aspect of ten, it is the image of the bottle itself. If there are more than ten, if there is one more, it is the main deity, the father and mother; if there are two more, it is the father and mother respectively; if there are three more, it is the main deity, the father and mother, and the general assembly of attendants; if there are four more, it is the heart mandala and speech mandala of the attendants, helping each other.

又二者,五和六者,语轮(坛城)也,身轮(坛城)则各一,大乐轮另外做。或者五者主尊和四部,六者六部等,最终至六百三十六尊,与本尊数量相等也可以。如果超过,则主尊做十瓶等,以此方式区分部类。现在急需的是五或十,任何一个都可以。不仅如此,做众多宝瓶,是为开光和最胜成就的灌顶,以及一切事业和息增等,其余事业则不能超过十瓶。十者大尊胜,五者尊胜,也是开光等息增之间用海螺法,诛灭驱逐分离三者用颅器,勾招权势用铜和金,愚昧僵化用土碗,这样说了,各自确定。这些也有能遍和所遍的差别。《续》中说:龙和四之宝,金瓶等,国王土地自性具珍宝。这样说了,十瓶方面,能遍为方位隅的八瓶,五瓶方面,能遍为方位的四瓶。也就是说,十者四方和上方胜者,属于国王宝瓶本身,下方尊胜和四隅属于尊胜本身,大尊胜则遍于十者一切。如五者,则东西北三方为胜者方,西南海螺法三者为尊胜方。所有这些,胜者方为方便,尊胜方为智慧。此处事业瓶,前辈们大多制作,故对表相显现之行不应遮止。然而续和释的意旨,用大尊胜或尊胜海螺法清扫也可以。如火供时所说,用六字(嗡嘛呢呗美吽,oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ,唵嘛呢叭咪吽)咒语另外修持清净水也可以,事业瓶的事情就由它来做。这些说完了宝瓶自身的特征,现在说用具,宝瓶的底座,无论是雕刻的,还是用布缝制的,还是用土做的,还是彩绘的,还是唐卡,都可以,做成八瓣白莲花的样子,口沿的装饰也用银
