English

English version: In the mandala, there are immeasurable kotis (koti: Sanskrit, meaning ten million) of great Bodhisattvas who, receiving offerings from practitioners, attain complete merit. Next, form the Hayagriva Avalokiteshvara mudra for purification and establishing boundaries. Bring both hands together in prayer. Bend the index and ring fingers of both hands inward, touching back to back inside the palms. Slightly bend both thumbs, without touching the index fingers. The mantra is: Om(一) Amrita(二) Nava(三) Hum(引四) Phat(五) Svaha(六) Recite three times. Then, rotate the mudra three times to the left to dispel all demons, causing them to retreat. Rotate the mudra three times to the right to create a strong and secure boundary. Next, form the Vajra Net mudra. Similar to the previous Earth Boundary mudra, press the tips of both thumbs against the lower joints of both index fingers. Recite the mantra three times, each time rotating the mudra clockwise above the head and then releasing it. The mantra is: Om(一) Visphura(二) Dhara(三) Raksha(一) Vajra(二) Panjara(四) Hum(五) Phat(六) Through the power of this mudra and mantra, a strong Vajra net is cast above, preventing even the gods of Paranirmita-vasavartin heaven from creating obstacles. The practitioner experiences peace of mind, and samadhi (samadhi: Sanskrit, meaning meditative absorption) is easily attained. Next, form the Vajra Fire Enclosure mudra. Place the palm of the right hand over the back of the left hand, making them touch. Extend and raise both thumbs. Visualize countless flames emanating from the mudra. Rotate the mudra three times to the right, creating a surrounding wall of flames outside the Vajra wall, thus forming a strong and pure fire boundary. The boundary mantra is: Om(引一) A Sam Ngini(二) Hum Phat(四) Next, offer arghya (arghya: Sanskrit, meaning offering water), incense, and water. When placing the arghya, recite the mantra (loudly once, softly seven times, or very softly twenty-one times). The ritual for arghya is to first kneel on both knees, holding a ring of clean kusha grass in the hands. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Holding the Argha (water for offering) and burning incense, make the following request: 'We beseech the Venerable One, by virtue of your original vow, to descend upon this sacred site. May you have compassion and accept this Argha and humble offerings.' Hold the Argha vessel with both hands, offer it before your forehead, and recite the mantra three times, visualizing the washing of the Holy Assembly's feet. The mantra is: 'Namo Samanta Buddhanam Gagaana Samasamah Svaha' By offering the Argha with fragrant water, may the practitioner's three karmas (body, speech, and mind) be purified, washing away all afflictions and defilements, progressing from the stage of understanding and practice to the ten Bhumis (grounds) and the Buddhahood. Upon attaining such Bhumi Paramitas (perfections), may one receive the nectar of the Dharma body empowerment from all the Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones). Next, form the Flower Seat Mudra (hand gesture), following the Samaya Mudra of the Lotus family, slightly bending the fingers to make it complete. Having formed this Mudra, visualize countless Vajra (diamond) lotuses flowing from the Mudra, filling this [name] world, with [name] Tathagata and all the great Bodhisattvas and the entire Holy Assembly, each obtaining this Vajra lotus as their seat. The mantra is: 'Om Kamala Svaha' By forming this Mudra and reciting the mantra, the practitioner attains the fulfillment of the ten Bhumis, and obtains the Vajra seat, with the three karmas firm and solid like a Vajra. Having invited them, say thus: 'Welcome, Venerable Ones, descending upon this sacred site out of compassion for us. May you have compassion and accept these humble offerings upon this seat.' Then, with sincere heart, frequently prostrate and say to the Venerable Ones: 'Out of great compassion and fulfilling your original vow, you have deigned to descend, which is beyond my capabilities.' Recite the Great Samaya Command Mudra Dharani three times, commanding that the Samaya boundary be established with complete dignity. Invite the Holy Assembly to be seated according to the Dharma. Furthermore, at the west gate, with palms together, bow and kneel respectfully, holding the incense burner and burning various precious incenses. Visualize all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and all the Devas (gods), their true Sambhogakaya (enjoyment body) forms moving on their seats, gazing upon the Buddha's Dharma-teaching appearance, and again verbally request and invite. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Consecration. May all the holy assembly abide in their respective positions, complete with dignity and in accordance with the Dharma (having spoken these words), scatter incense, and then take the silver plate. With various powdered incenses, hold the incense with both hands. Recite the Heart Mantra of the All-Crowning Wheel King (Sarvatathāgatavīryādhiṣṭhāna-nāma-mahā-kalparāja). Recite the mantra over the powdered incense seven times. Scatter it from the inner courtyard to the gods and others (Incense Samadhi Dharani). Scatter flowers as in the previous method of powdered incense (Flower Samadhi Dharani method). First, with palms together, bow and sincerely apologize, saying: 'The incense, flowers, food, and drink offered now are mostly not in accordance with the Dharma, I feel deeply ashamed.' Next, when offering perfumed ointment, make this vow: 'This incense is fragrant and rich, like the wonderful incense of the heavens, pure and protective. I now offer it, may you deign to accept it, and fulfill my wishes.' The Perfumed Ointment Mantra says: 'A(up) ga ra A(up) ga ra (1) Sarva (chui ke fan) bhidyadharā (2) purti (3) svaha (4)' Recite this mantra while applying the perfumed ointment. Then recite the mantra you hold. Purely and lawfully offer it to the honored one. 'Because I offer perfumed ointment, I shall obtain the five Dharmakayas (Dharmakaya, the body of the Dharma). May five undefiled perfumed ointments flow from this, polishing those with burning afflictions, destroying all the hells, and reaching all places of scorching heat.' Next, offer the mantra flower. Make this vow: 'This flower is pure, and the place where it grows is also pure. I now offer it, may you deign to accept it, and grant me accomplishment.' The Flower Offering Mantra says: 'A(up) ga ra A(up) ga ra (1) Sara (same as above) bhidi (2) yadharā (up 2) purti (ding yi fan 3) svaha (4)' 'Because of offering flowers, one shall obtain the thirty-two major marks (32 major marks of a Buddha). Furthermore, dedicate this merit to accomplish the wonderful enlightenment flower platform, spreading light to illuminate and touch, awakening beings in the realms of humans and gods, those attached to the realms of desires, entangled and oppressed by the eight winds, the suffering of heavenly music and transformations. May those gods and humans develop the Bodhi mind.' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 荣  获普贤常乐
