English version: Out of compassion (recite three times). May all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and all holy beings grant me siddhi (accomplishment), enabling me to quickly escape the mud of samsara (cycle of birth and death) and attain the complete and supreme siddhi (accomplishment) (recite three times). Whenever a mandala (sacred space) is established, it must first be adorned with incense, flowers, various foods, and silken banners, all in accordance with the Dharma, ensuring that it is not defiled. If it is defiled, the reciter will be vulnerable to demonic influences, and the recitation will be ineffective. Make the vow: 'May the holy assembly, each with their divine power, abide and receive offerings until the ceremony is complete.' I will now explain the secret sequence for creating all mandalas (sacred diagrams), including their extensive, concise, large, and small forms. In summary, among the thirty million mandalas (sacred diagrams), this is the sequential method, the general principle found in this sutra. Therefore, it should be known that I possess secret intentions and embody the characteristics of all dharmas (teachings), which are beyond your comprehension. Hence, it is called the Secret Treasury Great Mandala (sacred diagram) Teaching. Briefly, regarding the selection of a site: Before sunrise, dig three feet deep into the ground, and you should find something. If it resembles a human, the power of the mantra (sacred formula) can destroy mountains and cover oceans. If it resembles a beast, it is also auspicious. If you find jade, that person is one who has just joined the sangha. If you find gold, that person will gain great wealth and nobility through understanding the principles of causality. If you find items like knives, staffs, bows, or arrows, you will see the deity of the mantra (sacred formula) within the mandala (sacred diagram). If you find medicine, you will be skilled at curing diseases. If you find iron or stone, that person is not steadfast. If you find bone, it is an inauspicious sign, and you must repent, take vows, and select another clean site. Dig three feet deep, remove the impure soil, and take clean soil, crush it, mix it with incense powder, and compact it. Next, I will discuss the auspicious times for accomplishing great practices. First, performing the practice in the first month will definitely be without obstacles. Performing it in the second month will definitely have various obstacles appear. Performing it in the third month will definitely have wind and clouds. Starting the practice on the fifteenth day of the fifth month will definitely have rain. Performing the practice in the ninth month will definitely have lightning and thunder. Whenever these phenomena occur during the practice, it will definitely be successful, as the practitioner should know. Either on the seventh day, the thirteenth day, or the twenty-third day. If you obtain a ghost star day, it will be even more auspicious. Or during solar or lunar eclipses, it is also the first choice. If you wish to accomplish peaceful practices, use the second and third months. For practices to increase wealth, use the tenth and eleventh months. For practices to subdue enemies, use the fourth and fifth months. I will now briefly indicate. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: In great and famous mountains, in sacred dwellings, or in the caves of immortals and deities, or in empty and new chambers, dwelling alone among forests and springs. Taking these places as supreme, with a mind of emptiness, tranquility, and leisure. Also, in quiet places, such as mountaintops, or in Aranya (Aranya, meaning quiet place, secluded place), or in mountain caves, or in temples, forests, or rivers, or riverbanks, or places where saints have previously resided, one can quickly achieve success. The altar for removing disasters and extinguishing sins should be made round (with a wheel in the center), the altar for seeking wishes should be made square (with a lotus in the center), the altar for performing rituals should be made triangular (with a trident in the center), and the altar for seeking love and respect should be made in the shape of a lotus leaf (with the Hum syllable in the center). The Yogi practitioner cultivates Samadhi (Samadhi, meaning meditation). Follow the essential points for reciting with the Buddha. If reciting the name of Vairocana Tathagata (Vairocana Tathagata, meaning the Buddha of radiant light), first visualize an eight-petaled lotus flower, imagining the syllable 'Ah' transforming into a lion throne, with a white lotus flower on the throne. Then visualize the syllable 'Vam' transforming into a Stupa (Stupa, meaning pagoda), transforming into the body of the principal deity Vairocana (Vairocana), golden like Jambudvipa gold. Adorned with radiant flames around the neck, wearing light celestial robes, and crowned with the Five Buddha Crown. The light is supremely wonderful, illuminating the realms of humans and gods. Summoning the Bodhisattva-Mahasattvas (Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, meaning great Bodhisattvas) of the Ten Bhumis (Ten Bhumis, meaning ten grounds), manifesting a physical body due to the empowerment, adorned with jeweled necklaces, dwelling in the Samadhi (Samadhi, meaning meditation) of supreme and wonderful form, in order to transcend the forms of the heavens, dwelling in the wheel of light. Recite the secret mantra: Ah Vi Ra Hum Kham. First, the practitioner visualizes Vairocana Tathagata (Vairocana Tathagata) in their own heart, imagining the syllable 'Ah' like a full moon, emitting white light. The Tathagata sits within it on a white lotus flower, with a body of reddish-gold color. Then form the original Samaya Mudra (Samaya Mudra, meaning the vow mudra). With both hands forming Vajra fists, raise the progression and hold it with the feather of observation. Because of this mudra, one can receive the prediction of Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi (Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi, meaning unsurpassed, complete and perfect enlightenment) from all the Buddhas. Again, imagine Vairocana (Vairocana) sitting in full lotus posture in the Mandala (Mandala, meaning sacred circle), with perfect marks and characteristics, possessing great power and virtue. The color is bright white, like a pure full moon, with all bright light as his body. Adorned with a jeweled crown, hair braids brushing the shoulders, wearing celestial robes, light and wonderful silken ribbons, manifesting divine transformations with the secret wheels of body, speech, and mind. The practitioner contemplates in this way, reciting the secret mantra: Om Vajra Dhatu [口*梵] If practicing the Samadhi (Samadhi, meaning meditation) of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva, meaning the Bodhisattva Who Observes the Sounds of the World) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
