English version No. 789 The Vajraśekhara Yoga Rosary Sutra (Abridged from the Hundred Thousand Verse Great Commentary) Translated by the Tripitaka Master Amoghavajra of the Da Xing Shan Temple, who was granted the title of Grand Master of Imperial Workshops, Special Advisor to the Emperor, Acting Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, Duke of Su of the State, with a fief of three thousand households, bestowed with purple robes, posthumously granted the title of Grand Commandant, and posthumously honored with the title of Greatly Aware, Rightly Enlightened, Greatly Wise. At that time, the Bhagavan Vairocana Buddha addressed Vajrapani, saying: 'Excellent, excellent! For the sake of those Bodhisattvas who cultivate the practice of mantra, explain the various ritual procedures. Out of compassion for all sentient beings in the future, speak of the meritorious virtues and benefits of the rosary. By hearing such profound meanings, one will quickly attain Siddhi (accomplishment).' Then, the Bodhisattva Vajrasattva said to the Buddha: 'So be it, O Bhagavan! I will now explain it.' At that time, the Bodhisattva Vajrasattva spoke the following verse: 'The beads represent the supreme fruit of Bodhi (enlightenment), the breaks in between signify the cutting off of outflows (of defilements). The string represents Avalokiteshvara (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), the mother bead represents Amitayus (the Buddha of Infinite Life). Be careful not to transgress the Dharma with haste, all merits are accumulated through the rosary. A rosary of Tridacna bestows a hundredfold merit; a rosary of Sapindus wood bestows a twofold merit; A rosary made of iron bestows a threefold merit; a rosary made of refined copper bestows a fourfold merit; Rosaries of crystal, pearls, and various jewels, these rosaries bestow a hundredfold merit; A thousandfold merit is bestowed by the son of Indra (the king of gods); a rosary of Vajra seeds bestows a Koti (ten million) fold merit; A rosary of lotus seeds bestows a thousand Kotis; a rosary of Bodhi seeds bestows countless merit. For recitations pertaining to the Buddha family, use Bodhi seeds; for the Vajra family practices, use Vajra seeds; For recitations pertaining to the Jewel family, use various jewels; for the Lotus family beads, use lotus seeds; In the Karma family practices for rosaries, various beads should be interspersed and strung together. Rosaries are distinguished into four types: superior, supreme, medium, and inferior, One thousand and eighty beads are considered superior, one hundred and eight beads are considered supreme, Fifty-four'

珠以为中， 二十七珠为下类。 二手持珠当心上， 静虑离念心专注， 本尊瑜伽心一境， 皆得成就理事法。 设安顶髻或挂身， 或安颈上及安臂， 所说言论成念诵， 以此念诵净三业。 由安顶髻净无间， 由带颈上净四重， 手持臂上除众罪， 能令行人速清净。 若修真言陀罗尼， 念诸如来菩萨名， 当获无量胜功德， 所求胜愿皆成就。” 加持念珠贯串之法，一如《苏悉地经》说。其瑜伽经但说其功能、理趣，不说相，应知。 金刚顶瑜伽念珠经 现代汉语译本： 一百零八颗念珠为上品，五十四颗念珠为中品，二十七颗念珠为下品。 双手持念珠置于心口之上，静心禅虑，摒除杂念，使心专注于一境；本尊瑜伽，心境合一，皆能成就事理之法。 即使将念珠安于头顶发髻之上，或挂于身上，或安于颈上，或安于手臂上，所说之言论皆成为念诵，以此念诵清净身、口、意三业。 由于安于头顶发髻之上，能清净无间罪；由于佩戴于颈上，能清净四重罪；手持或佩戴于手臂上，能消除各种罪业，能使修行之人迅速得到清净。 如果修习真言（mantra）陀罗尼（dharani），念诵诸如来（Tathagata）、菩萨（Bodhisattva）的名号，当获得无量殊胜功德，所求一切殊胜愿望皆能成就。 加持念珠贯串之法，完全依照《苏悉地经》（Susiddhi Sutra）所说。而《瑜伽经》（Yoga Sutra）只说明其功能、理趣，没有说明具体形相，应当知晓。 《金刚顶瑜伽念珠经》（Vajrasekhara Yoga Rosary Sutra）

English version: One hundred and eight beads are of the highest grade, fifty-four beads are of the middle grade, and twenty-seven beads are of the lowest grade. Holding the rosary with both hands at the heart level, meditate quietly, eliminate distracting thoughts, and focus the mind on one state; the deity yoga, with the mind and state united, can achieve the Dharma of both practice and principle. Even if the rosary is placed on the topknot, or hung on the body, or placed on the neck, or placed on the arm, the words spoken all become recitations, and with these recitations, the three karmas of body, speech, and mind are purified. Because it is placed on the topknot, it can purify the uninterrupted karma; because it is worn on the neck, it can purify the four grave offenses; holding it in the hand or wearing it on the arm can eliminate all kinds of sins, and can enable practitioners to quickly attain purity. If one practices mantra (zhenyan) and dharani (tuoluoni), and recites the names of all Tathagatas (rulai) and Bodhisattvas (pusa), one will obtain immeasurable and supreme merits, and all supreme wishes will be fulfilled. The method of blessing and stringing the rosary is entirely in accordance with what is said in the 'Susiddhi Sutra' (Su Xi Di Jing). The 'Yoga Sutra' (Yu Jia Jing) only explains its function and principles, without explaining the specific form, which should be known.
