May you have perfect power and skillful means in protecting yourself and defeating external enemies! May all limitless and boundless beings have all their obscurations purified, all suffering and harm pacified, all virtuous dharmas such as the means to enlightenment be perfected, all faults of samsara be abandoned, and may they quickly attain the perfect Yungdrung body that embodies all knowledge! Thus, may all the great roots of virtue be offered entirely to all the noble ones, and may they be dedicated and wished for all beings, and so on. By the power of whatever roots of virtue so-and-so has accumulated from beginningless time in samsara, and by the power of the truth of the Three Jewels, and by the blessings of all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and by the Bhagavan Mother Prajnaparamita, the King of the Golden Light Sutra, the Jewel Heap Sutra, the Jewel Crown Sutra, the Sutra of the Immaculate Light Manifesting on the Crown from All Directions, the Dharani of Observing the Essence and Vows of All Tathagatas, and other Mahayana sutras, and by the deep and vast dharanis, endowed with inconceivable power, having made offerings and recited them, by the merit of properly constructing the stupa of the Dharmakaya, and by the power of the purity of the Dharmadhatu, may so-and-so immediately obtain and completely realize all the benefits spoken of in the sutras and dharanis! May so-and-so, from beginningless time in samsara, among the transmigrating beings, have the obscurations of sinful and unwholesome actions that arise due to the influence of various afflictions, such as: karmic obscurations, afflictive obscurations, obscurations of views, obscurations of ignorance, obscurations of maturation, obscurations arising from a lack of Dharma, etc., whatever the obscuration that causes so-and-so to fall into the three lower realms, or to be born in an unfavorable place, or not to see, respect, or hold the Three Jewels, or not to be cared for by a virtuous friend, or to decline from the mind of enlightenment and virtuous practices,

May it become a thief, or be completely destroyed by the laws of samsara. The conduct of a Bodhisattva, as well as the means to accomplish all virtuous qualities, not inclining towards or accomplishing various sinful deeds such as these, whether done by so-and-so personally, or caused to be done by others, or rejoicing in the actions of others, may all of these be completely and without remainder eliminated, and may they be pacified and purified from elsewhere. Whether it is the maturation of past karma, or caused by immediate circumstances, may this present body be tormented by many forms of illness, be maliciously harmed and afflicted by humans and non-humans, have a short life, experience much suffering, have disharmony with retinue and possessions, have giving and wishes unfulfilled, and be harmed by many obstacles, and may all inauspicious, unlucky, evil, and sinful things be pacified and never occur again. May we be separated and liberated from all demons and harm-doers, and may those demons, with loving and peaceful minds, destroy all evil actions of harming again, return to their respective abodes, and never do any harm in the future. May we immediately obtain long life and be without illness, have harmonious retinue and possessions, have abundant wealth, have all wishes fulfilled as desired, and may we be endowed with all the glory of this world and beyond. In all lifetimes, may we be endowed with a body, resources, retinue, friends, and virtuous spiritual friends that are perfect for accomplishing the complete accumulation of enlightenment. May we always encounter the Mahayana Dharma, and through hearing, thinking, and meditating, realize its meaning directly. May we always associate with and please the noble and virtuous spiritual friends who teach the true Dharma without error. In short, may we benefit all sentient beings, practice the noble path, never cling to anything, possess skillful means and unobstructed power of wisdom, and easily master all the great practices of a Bodhisattva.

Now, recite the Dhāraṇī of Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya. Alternatively, perform the ritual of erecting one hundred and eight stūpas, or five stūpas, which is extracted from the sūtras. The method of reciting the Dhāraṇī of Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya, the wish-fulfilling jewel, the precious jewel, and erecting stūpas is that all that pertains to these should also undergo external ablutions. From beginning to end, restrain yourselves from mixing with the faults of afflictions such as harmful thoughts, greed, lack of faith, laziness, and sleep, and avoid losing harmful and violent actions. Deepen your faith and respect for the power of the qualities of the Three Jewels and the benefits of the sūtras. Generate great love and compassion for all sentient beings. If one is a householder, take the vows of fasting. Then, arrange the implements for erecting the stūpa. Dig the earth and build, and until it is placed in the mandala, perform the stūpa ritual in the morning. Perform the offering ritual and arrange the implements well. In the month of erecting the stūpa, in order to perform Dharma giving and invoke the vows of the noble ones, continuously recite the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, the Golden Light Sūtra, the Ratna-śikhā Sūtra, the Ratna-ketu Sūtra, and the Uṣṇīṣa-vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra twenty-one times without interruption. Also, recite one string of beads of the two forms of the wish-fulfilling jewel dhāraṇī. Also, make offerings to these sūtras, dedicate the Dharma giving, and recite with various good deeds such as invocation. If there are not so many sūtras, then after reciting the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra and any number of dhāraṇīs, recite the heart mantra. Then, place the stūpa, arrange the offerings, and complete the scriptures. In the meantime, clean up a bit, and then in the morning, the Sangha gathers together and performs the offerings in order. The method of arranging the offerings is to combine it with whatever power you have according to your ability and wealth. In the center of the great incense maṇḍala, draw a palace with colored powder or five kinds of precious flowers, decorated with various ornaments. On the great lotus in the center, place a seat that can accommodate one hundred and eight stūpas, and place a lotus on the lion throne, with one hundred large grids and four faces.

在中央,摆放两两相对的桌子,共一百零八个,或者在第五个佛塔附近合适的地方摆放,并在那里安放佛塔。在中央也安放一个带有舍利的佛塔。在中间的一两块布上铺撒许多莲花,布置成圣众聚集的座位。准备四个或更多的装饰华丽的圣水瓶,放在四个方向。在其外围,根据情况摆放食物和供水等,广陈供品。上方悬挂幡幢、伞盖和一百零八个以上的红色旗帜,广陈供养。在四个角落,用檀香、沉香、杜噜迦和古古尔的熏香熏香。在四个门口,摆放四份供水。此外,尽力广陈供品。在瓶子上也放上芥子和沙子,并念诵咒语,然后将其撒向墓地或所有方向。首先,陈设供品,僧众聚集,向十方诸佛顶礼。然后,尽力修习一切法无所缘的空性三摩地。从三摩地中起身,(观想)一切法在胜义谛中就是如此。圣者们已经证悟了此真如,因此,他们的身、语、意与虚空无别,没有障碍,获得了不可思议的神通和加持。或者(这样观想):唉!这些众生没有证悟法的真如,因为愚痴而被烦恼和众多的痛苦所折磨,堕入了可怜的境地。一切众生也从无始轮回以来,在流转的各个阶段中,没有谁不是我的亲人、殊胜的恩田。我也在最初发起了殊胜的菩提心,并发誓要成办无量众生的利益之时,就已经摄受了一切众生。像这样的众生,菩萨们抛弃他们是不应该的。应当以大悲心和慈爱心强烈地发起精进心,心想:如何才能将他们从痛苦中解脱出来?如何才能让他们获得安乐?又这样想:我乃恶世的众生,行为和能力都很低下。

In the center, arrange tables in pairs, totaling one hundred and eight, or arrange them near the fifth stupa in a suitable manner, and enshrine the stupa there. Also, place a stupa containing relics in the center. On one or two cloths in between, scatter many lotuses and arrange them as a seat where the noble ones gather. Prepare four or more ornate vases of blessed water and place them on the four sides. Outside of that, arrange food and water offerings as appropriate, and extensively display offerings. Above, hang banners, parasols, and one hundred and eight or more red flags extensively. In the four corners, fumigate with incense of sandalwood, agarwood, Turushka, and Guggul. At the four doors, arrange four water offerings. Furthermore, make offerings as extensively as possible. Also place mustard seeds and sand on the vases, recite mantras, and then scatter them in the cemetery or in all directions. First, arrange the offerings, gather the Sangha, and prostrate to all the noble ones of the ten directions. Then, meditate as much as possible on the Samadhi of emptiness, in which all phenomena are without object. Arising from that Samadhi, (contemplate that) all phenomena are such in ultimate truth. The noble ones have realized this suchness, therefore, their body, speech, and mind have become like the sky, without obscurations, and they have attained a state of inconceivable power and blessings. Or (contemplate thus): Alas! These sentient beings have not realized the suchness of the Dharma, and because of ignorance, they are tormented by afflictions and many sufferings, and have fallen into a pitiable state. Also, all sentient beings, from beginningless samsara, in the various stages of transmigration, there is no one who has not been my close relative, a field of kindness. And when I first generated the supreme Bodhicitta and vowed to accomplish the immeasurable benefit of many beings, I had already taken responsibility for all sentient beings. It is not proper for Bodhisattvas to abandon such beings. One should strongly generate a mind of diligence with great compassion and love, thinking: How can I liberate them from suffering? How can I lead them to happiness? And think thus: I am a sentient being of a degenerate age, with weak conduct and abilities.
