In this way, it is praised as a place of peace and prosperity, especially an auspicious and delightful place. Furthermore, the consecration of stupas, etc., as well as houses and abodes of deities, should be performed with pure rituals. It is said: "Auspicious and pure great place, delightful and pleasing to the mind." And so on, as explained in the rituals of the mandala. Sixth, the time for performing it is: "Six months and four constellations, and whichever of the fourteen constellations, and the lord of the seven dates, the Victorious Ones praise consecration and so on." As it says, it should be done from the small month of winter to the middle month of summer, during the waxing period of the sun's northern course, when the planets and stars are in good conjunction and auspicious. In the Mayajala it says: "Starting from the eighth day of the waxing moon, in the most excellent constellations, greatly practice the conduct of enlightenment, for the sake of quickly attaining secret supreme accomplishment, auspicious planets and stars should be chosen." Therefore, it should also be understood from other treatises of the Vedas. In the Ngamglok it says: "From the branches of the Vedas, the times should be known, the auspicious day of the gods, wealth and good times, although they are discriminations of omens, if examined, auspicious signs will appear." And also: "The mandala and the consecration, should be observed in the waxing phase." This is mainly considered from the point of view of importance. Otherwise, if the planets and stars are gathered, there is no fault even in the waning phase. As it is said. Seventh, the ritual to be performed is: known as the interdependent consecration, and in the Compendium of Trainings it says: "With faith, invite the Buddha and his retinue, and request them to reside on the object of support, perform prostrations, offerings, and auspicious wishes, this is known as the Sutra method." And those spoken from the various tantric sections of secret mantra, especially the meaning spoken in the Great Yoga Tantra, the Mayajala, and the Sadhana Section, should be performed with the pure ritual that distills the essence, as explained by the great chariot-like pandits and siddhas. As it says: "The consecration of the Buddhas and so on, should be performed with pure rituals. It should not be done with inferior rituals." Therefore, with all effort, diligently strive with the desire for accomplishment. As it is said. The Ngamglok

又说，无论做什么坛城等，如果没有开光智慧，就没有增益和减少的能力。以及《秘密藏续》中说：在土地等上作手印，如果次第获得解脱，通过清净的智慧来净化，何须多言，那就是它本身。等等所说，也应当普遍知晓。第二，讲述如何做的仪轨，包括念诵和开光的实际仪轨。第一，念诵方面，从征相、时间和数量，乃至上、中、下三种程度来做，以先前已经完成的任何一种为基础。特别是为了开光的目的，无论是他人请求，还是自己修持，都应当为了这个目的而进行念诵。正如大学者所说：三次被他人请求后，住在令人满意的地方，两种念诵都圆满完成。就像这样。第二，实际开光的仪轨，分为广、中、略三种方式。第一种又分为准备、正行和后行三个部分。首先是准备阶段的总结：坛城次第备办物，修供瓶诵净涤外，本尊生起请供勾，安住印持灌顶赞，朵玛敬听供赞及，容赦送返依覆余。从这当中，首先是坛城的次第：无论是依据彩粉坛城还是绘画坛城等外部坛城，如果是彩粉坛城，则包括地基仪轨和剩余部分等，如果是绘画坛城，也包括神像准备等前行，铺设绘画，安放宝瓶，陈设供品等，都应当像各个修法坛城的简略方式一样了解。正如所说：土地仪轨如经文所说进行，之后本尊和宝瓶，以及火供土地神女，弟子和施主等，都如经文所说圆满完成准备。第二，特别是开光的供品：在以各种装饰美化的住所的基础上，在根本坛城的南方或东方，设置一个方形的沐浴台，长宽各一肘半等，或者与之相同的地基，用五种土涂抹，画上白线。

Also, it is said that no matter what mandala, etc., is made, if it does not possess the wisdom of consecration, it has no power to increase or decrease. And in the Guhyagarbha Tantra, it says: Making hand gestures on the earth, etc., if one attains liberation in stages, purifying it with pure wisdom, what need is there to say more, it is that itself. It is also generally to be known that what is said, etc. Secondly, explaining the ritual of how to do it, including the actual ritual of recitation and consecration. First, in terms of recitation, from the signs, time, and number, even to the extent of the three levels of high, medium, and low, based on whatever has been done beforehand. Especially for the purpose of consecration, whether requested by others or practiced by oneself, one should engage in reviving the recitation for that purpose. As the great scholar said: After being requested three times by others, residing in a pleasing place, both recitations are completely accomplished. Just like that. Secondly, the actual ritual of consecration is divided into three ways: extensive, medium, and concise. The first is also divided into three parts: preparation, main practice, and subsequent actions. First, the summary of the preparation stage: Mandala sequence, arrange the materials, practice offering, vase recitation, purify and wash externally, deity generation, invite offerings, hook and seat, seal, empower, offer praise, mantra, torma, listen, offer praise, forgive, send back, cover the support, and remaining dwelling summary. From this, first is the sequence of the mandala: Whether based on a sand mandala or a painted mandala, etc., whichever outer mandala is appropriate, if it is a sand mandala, it includes the ground ritual and the remaining parts, etc., and if it is a painted mandala, it also includes the preliminary preparations such as deity preparation, etc., spreading the painting, placing the vase, arranging the offerings, etc., should be understood as in the condensed manner of each practice mandala. As it is said: The land ritual is performed as described in the scriptures, then the deity and the vase, as well as the fire offering, the earth goddess, the disciples, and the patrons, etc., all complete the preparations as described in the scriptures. Secondly, especially the offerings for consecration: On the basis of a dwelling beautified with various special ornaments, to the south or east of the root mandala, set up a square bathing platform, one and a half cubits long and wide, etc., or a base equal to it, smear it with the five elements, and draw white lines.

In the center of a square mandala, draw various eight-petaled lotuses with the emblems of the five families and four mothers, and place a manjila with a bathing basin and mirror. On the eight petals, place eight bathing vases with mouth ornaments and neckbands, commonly filled with two-thirds of scented water. In particular, starting from the eastern vase, successively pour in the five scents, three sweets, fresh yogurt, fruits, five grains, rice, five medicines, and five precious substances. Alternatively, it is acceptable to use only the twenty-five substances without distinction. If there are not eight vases, five or one will also suffice. Cleansing agents are also placed in containers such as staffs, with five tree barks, etc., equal in number to the vases. Or, for external nectar, use five kinds of bezoar, spices, emblic myrobalan, and mustard powder, making four. Alternatively, any of these can be mixed with shuti and near-wood, etc., and combined into one bathing mixture. For body massage, use fragrant sesame oil. Place five fragrant peels or white bean powder in one container, each with a durva grass brush. Surround it with offerings, and cover it with an umbrella from above. On one side, place a precious tray filled with flowers, in the center of which is a mantra vase filled with scented water, with a mirror of gold or silver on top, on which is written the essence of dependent origination seven times, using white sandalwood and saffron mixed with milk. Also, a conch shell for scented water, a fresh bathing cloth with five seed syllables written on it with fragrance, a pair of garments, and cleansing implements. On the right, place a mandala for bestowing dominion, with a mountain and island arrangement in the center, surrounded by auspicious food made with yogurt, butter, and sugar, and delicious food without meat and alcohol. Around it, surround it with other general and special offerings, as well as a spoon for cleansing the senses, items for bestowing dominion, and various musical instruments, etc. All the necessary items below should be gathered completely. Third is the mandala accomplishment offering: The parts where self-entry and front-entry are the same are practiced in common. For the different parts, first perform the self-generation, then perform the front-generation. If performing the empowerment oneself, perform it as in the empowerment ritual, and perform the empowerment here when practicing the mantra vase and the main activity vase. By relying only on throwing the wisdom flower, all four vase practices can be linked into one whole.
