English version (Introduction) By forming this mudra (hand gesture) and reciting the mantra (sacred utterance), it immediately becomes a Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) armor. All Vinayakas (Vinayaka, remover of obstacles) and all celestial demons who create obstacles will retreat and flee. This is because they see the practitioner's light and majestic power enveloping their body. Whether dwelling in mountains or in dangerous places, one will be fearless. Disasters such as fire and water, all calamities, tigers, wolves, lions, knives, staves, shackles, and such things will all be extinguished. Those who see the practitioner will rejoice, and after death, they will not fall into evil realms but will be reborn in the pure and wonderful lands of all Buddhas. Next, form the Earth Boundary Mantra Mudra: Place the right ring finger inside the left ring finger and little finger. Place the right middle finger inside the left middle finger and index finger. Do the same with the left hand. The tips of the remaining fingers should touch each other. Visualize the mudra transforming into the shape of a flaming Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) pestle. Press the thumbs on the ground and then lift them. Lift and recite once, stopping after three times. Freely determine the size of the earth boundary. Thus, a firm earth boundary is formed. The mantra is: Om Kilikili Vajra Vajri Bhrum Bandha Bandha Hum Phat By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra to bless the earth boundary, the area below, down to the water's edge, becomes as solid as a Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) seat. Celestial demons and all obstacles will not be able to disturb or harm. With a little effort, one can quickly achieve accomplishment. Next, form the Directional Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) Wall Mantra Mudra: Similar to the previous Earth Boundary Mudra, open the two thumbs and raise them vertically, so that the sides resemble the shape of a wall. Visualize the mudra as the shape of a Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) pestle. Circle the body three times to the right, setting the size of the Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) wall. Thus, a firm and solid Vajra (diamond/thunderbolt) city is formed. Even Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will not violate it, let alone those who are difficult to tame. Vinayakas (Vinayaka, remover of obstacles), poisonous insects, and those with sharp teeth and claws cannot approach. The mantra is: Om Sarva Sarva Vajra Pra Kara Hum Phat The practitioner should then visualize a lion throne on an eight-petaled lotus flower in the center of the mandala. On the lion throne is a seven-jeweled pavilion, adorned with various necklaces, silk banners, canopies, and rows of precious pillars. Beautiful celestial garments hang down, and fragrant clouds fill the surroundings, scattering various flowers and playing various musical instruments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
