English version: Next, in the hall, visualize the principal deity (本尊, běnzūn: the main deity being worshiped) and its retinue (眷属, juànshǔ: deities surrounding the main deity), each seated on a lotus throne, and offer them with scented ointment (涂香, túxiāng: fragrant ointment applied to the body) and flower garlands (花鬘, huāmán: garlands made of fresh flowers). Then offer incense, Mani lamps (摩尼灯, mání dēng: lamps emitting precious light), Arghya (阏伽, èqié: pure water offered to the Buddha), and virtuous vases (贤瓶, xiánpíng: precious vases filled with nectar), as well as various exquisite and wonderful celestial foods and rows of precious pillars as offerings. By the power of my merit, the blessing power of the Tathagata, and the power of the Dharmadhatu (法界, fǎjiè: the universe and all its phenomena), universally make offerings and abide here. The Great Light Mantra of Akashagarbha (虚空藏大明妃真言, Xūkōngzàng Dàmíngfēi Zhēnyán: the mantra of Akashagarbha Bodhisattva) says: 'Om gagana sambhava vajra (two combined) guh (elongated)' By reciting and forming this mudra, the principal deity of Akashagarbha will not violate its original vow, and all offerings will become real. Next, one should form the Precious Vehicle Mudra (宝车印, bǎochē yìn: a mudra symbolizing a precious vehicle), with the hands crossed in the posture of the Samatha-Vipassana Mudra (止观印, zhǐguān yìn: a mudra of meditation and wisdom) with palms facing up, the two middle fingers joined and upright, and the two ring fingers supporting the sides of the middle fingers. Recite the mantra three times, and send the principal deity back to the Buddha-land (刹土, chàtǔ: the pure land where the Buddha resides). The Mantra of Offering the Vehicle (奉车辂真言, Fèng chēlù zhēnyán: the mantra for offering the vehicle to the principal deity) says: 'Om turu turu hum' The practitioner holds the incense burner, purifies the path of the empty sky, recites the mantra three times, and destroys the net of Mara (魔罗, móluó: demons that obstruct practice). The Mantra for Pacifying the Road (静治道路真言, Jìngzhì dàolù zhēnyán: the mantra for purifying the road) says: 'Om (1) susiddhi kari (2) java (two combined) li trita (elongated) nan (elongated) trita (3) mupur taye (4) java (two combined) la java (two combined) la mandha mandha hana hana hum phat (half sound)' In your mind, visualize a seven-jeweled vehicle, adorned with various precious canopies, decorated with colorful banners, precious bells, and pearl garlands, intertwined everywhere. Countless celestial music, playing harmonious and elegant sounds without being struck, naturally resounds. Visualize the vehicle arriving at Abhirati (妙喜刹, Miàoxǐ chà: Akshobhya Buddha's pure land). The principal deity and its retinue ride in this precious vehicle. Then form the Mudra of Inviting the Vehicle (请车印, qǐngchē yìn: a mudra for inviting the principal deity to ride the vehicle), the mudra is the same as the previous Precious Vehicle Mudra, use the power of wisdom to flick the two ring fingers, and visualize the vehicle rising into the sky. The Mantra for Inviting to Board the Vehicle (请上车辂真言, Qǐng shàng chēlù zhēnyán: the mantra for inviting the principal deity to board the vehicle) says: 'Nama stiriye (two combined) ya (1) dhivi (two combined) ka (elongated) nam (2) sarva tathagatanam (elongated 3) om (4) vajra (two combined) nirghataya (two combined 5) karshaya' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 娑嚩(二合引)诃  次结部心印  止观内相叉  左慧向身招  三遍加来句  本尊与眷属  欢喜赴集会   部心请真言曰。
