English version: Like pure gold melted and gathered, radiating red light like a burning fire. The light shines brilliantly, pervading the entire body. With the Vajra wheel (Vajra, diamond/thunderbolt) of body, speech, and mind, pervade the realm of birth and death, manifesting miraculous transformations within the measure of a full moon. This Vajra wheel, of indefinite size, is called the Full Moon Wheel. One can contemplate five '古' (Gu) syllables, or three '古' (Gu) syllables, or a single '独古' (Du Gu) syllable, contemplating freely without obstruction. From the pores and joints of one's own body, appear countless Vajras (Vajra, diamond/thunderbolt) like dust particles. Within each Vajra, various different forms can manifest, enabling practitioners to subdue at will, all capable of accomplishing the Dharani (Dharani, mantra/incantation) gate and the Samadhi (Samadhi, meditative absorption) gate. Raining down various weapons and entrusting mudras (Mudra, hand gesture/seal), each mudra originates from the auspicious marks of a Tathagata's (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', Buddha) great person, not artificially created. Why? Because the Vajra body inherently possesses them, its nature is firm and free from discrimination, accomplishing beings and fulfilling all wishes. If manifesting the wrathful subduing form of Vajra, or manifesting the Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva, enlightenment being) with great compassion, or manifesting a celestial form, ghosts and spirits will all submit. If accomplishing activities, manifesting Karma-Vajra (Karma-Vajra, action vajra), enabling practitioners to quickly attain perfection. Place the Five Dhyani Buddhas (Five Dhyani Buddhas, the five wisdom Buddhas) on the crown of the head, seated on a great lotus flower within the full moon wheel, like a great round mirror, clear inside and out, with no self or other in its essence. This is the practitioner's ultimate truth, the essential secret of recitation within the Unempty Wisdom. The Eight Great Bodhisattvas, visualize the seed syllables and the colors of the respective deities. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Samantabhadra), white, visualize the Five Buddhas on the head, the seed syllable is Hum (Hum). Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri), golden body, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Mam (Mam). Akasagarbha Bodhisattva (Akasagarbha), purple-golden, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Tra (Tra). Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara), red-flesh color, like an opening lotus flower, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Hrih (Hrih). Vajragarbha Bodhisattva (Vajragarbha), blue, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Hum (Hum). Maitreya Bodhisattva (Maitreya), yellow, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Me (Me). Sarvanivaranaviskambhin Bodhisattva (Sarvanivaranaviskambhin), lotus color, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Sah (Sah). Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (Ksitigarbha), golden, visualize the Five Buddhas, the seed syllable is Ksi (Ksi). Vairocana (Vairocana) Samadhi Yoga Offering Gradual Method. Homage to Vairocana -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 那佛  开妙觉目如莲叶  我今甄此相应法  随其诵念次第要  愿依凭此速成就  自利利他远尘垢  由是初心所发趣  悉念方便向菩提  诸进趣门虽无量  无有能过于此者
