English

Thinking of reciting the seven-syllable mantra. After reciting "Om Mani Padme Hum Hrih (藏文:ༀ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ་ཧྲཱིཿ)" with a beautiful melody, visualize the light rays of the Great Compassionate One's body touching sentient beings, and everything dissolving into emptiness. I also dissolve into emptiness. The Great Compassionate One also abides in a state of non-objectification, rests for a moment, and then dedicates the merit. This is the most profound of all methods for purifying sins and obscurations. This is the ninety-third instruction. Next is the practice tantra. I am the Samaya Being, and the Wisdom Being resides in front of me. For now, combine it with the practice of the venerable Achala. After taking refuge and generating Bodhicitta, through "Om Svabhava Shuddhah Sarva Dharma Svabhava Vishuddho 'Ham (藏文:ༀ་སྭ་བྷཱ་ཝ་ཤུདྡྷཱཿསརྦ་དྷརྨཱཿསྭ་བྷཱ་ཝ་བི་ཤུདྡྷོ྅་ཧཾ་,梵文天城体: ॐ स्वभाव शुद्धाः सर्व धर्माः स्वभाव वि शुद्धोऽहम्,梵文罗马拟音:oṃ svabhāva śuddhāḥ sarva dharmāḥ svabhāva vi śuddho'ham,汉语字面意思:Om, purity of nature, all dharmas, purity of nature, I am)" make all dharmas empty. On top of the lotus and sun and moon, visualize yourself as white Achala, one face and three eyes. The upper teeth press down on the lower lip, with a beard and reddish-yellow hair. The right hand raises a sword above the head, and the left hand points a threatening mudra towards the heart. The right knee presses on the sun, and the left palm presses on the moon. Adorned with all precious jewels and wearing a silk skirt. In the heart, in the middle of the lotus and moon, visualize the Hum syllable surrounded by the root mantra. In front of you, also visualize Achala identical to this. The mantra garland on the Hum syllable in your heart enters the mouth of the deity in front. Passing through the form, it enters your own navel from the sternum, and through the light rays of the mantra garland, all the qualities of wisdom, samadhi, realization, longevity, and merit of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the ten directions are gathered and dissolve into the Hum syllable in your heart, and visualize yourself as possessing these qualities. Recite "Om Vajra Chanda Maha Roshana Hum Phat (藏文:ༀ་བཛྲ་ཙཎྜ་མ་ཧཱ་རོ་ཥ་ཎ་ཧཱུྃ་ཕཊ,梵文罗马拟音:oṃ vajra caṇḍa mahā roṣaṇa hūṃ phaṭ,汉语字面意思:Om, Vajra Fierce Great Wrathful One, Hum, Phat)" as much as possible. Gather the mantra garland into the heart, and the Wisdom Being departs. The Samaya Being abides in a state of non-objectification, and dedicate the merit. This is the ninety-fourth instruction. Next is the yoga tantra. I am the Samaya Being, inviting and sending away the Wisdom Being, and wishing to obtain siddhis. Here, temporarily combine it with the purification of the lower realms. After taking refuge and generating Bodhicitta, from emptiness arises the wrathful Conqueror of the Three Worlds, with a blue-green body, one face and two hands, holding a vajra and bell, with feet

Those who uphold vows, having focused their minds for the sake of the words of the supreme wisdom body, then again, abide in emptiness with Vajra Mu (Tibetan: བཛྲ་མུཿ, Sanskrit Devanagari: वज्र मु, Sanskrit Romanization: vajra mu, Literal Chinese meaning: Diamond Mu). Meditate on the Samadhi of Suchness, All-Illuminating, and Cause, from the white A, the seed syllables of the deities descend upon the seats of their respective mandalas. Generate the illusory peaceful and wrathful mandala in the manner of becoming deities, merge the wisdom beings, and extensively perform offerings, praises, and playful recitations, whether or not to engage in a feast gathering is optional. Practice both stages of completion and dedicate the merit. These extensive explanations can be found in the "Precious Net of Peaceful Ones" and "Wrathful Ones Adorned with Light." This is the ninety-eighth instruction step. Then, the method of meditating on the purification of womb-born beings, in a medium and extensive manner, is to abandon the non-conceptualization of the field of merit from the previous practice, and meditate in the same way as before. This is the ninety-ninth instruction step. Then, for the purification of the intermediate state of heat and moisture-born beings, practice the condensed method, which is to take refuge and generate bodhicitta. From emptiness, merely by reciting their respective names, visualize the supporting palace and the supported mandala of deities, manifesting as peaceful and wrathful deities. Recite once from "This is the complete empowerment" to "Everything is in the nature of deities and goddesses," and realize that one's own nature is the nature of the deity and awaken to the essence of Buddhahood. From the Hūṃ (Tibetan: ཧཱུཾ, Sanskrit Devanagari: हुं, Sanskrit Romanization: hūṃ, Literal Chinese meaning: Hūṃ) syllable of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadrī above the lotus sun and moon in the heart, light radiates, purifying the obscurations of sentient beings who have not realized, transforming them into deities, making offerings to the noble ones, and contemplate the world pervaded by the sound of the mantra. Recite Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ (Tibetan: ༀ་ཨཱཿཧཱུཾ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ओँ आः हूँ, Sanskrit Romanization: oṃ āḥ hūṃ, Literal Chinese meaning: Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ), Oṃ Hūṃ Trāṃ Hrīḥ Aḥ (Tibetan: ༀ་ཧཱུཾ་ཏྲཱཾ་ཧྲཱིཿཨཿ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ओँ हुं त्राम् ह्रीः अः, Sanskrit Romanization: oṃ hūṃ trāṃ hrīḥ aḥ, Literal Chinese meaning: Oṃ Hūṃ Trāṃ Hrīḥ Aḥ) as much as possible, practice either of the two stages of completion, and then dedicate the merit. This is the one hundredth instruction step. Then, the extremely condensed method for purifying the imprints of spontaneously born beings is to take refuge and generate bodhicitta. From emptiness, visualize and manifest in an instant, recite the mantra, and then practice the completion stage. At this time, after generating bodhicitta, visualize Samantabhadra and Samantabhadrī in union, seated in vajra posture in meditative equipoise above the sun and moon in the center of the sky. From them, light radiates, purifying all appearances and existences into the pure lands of the five wisdoms. Visualize all of saṃsāra and nirvāṇa as one taste, the Buddha who is primordially pure, and recite Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ (Tibetan: ༀ་ཨཱཿཧཱུཾ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ओँ आः हूँ, Sanskrit Romanization: oṃ āḥ hūṃ, Literal Chinese meaning: Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ) as much as possible.
