English version: Furthermore, on the right side of Manjushri (Bodhisattva of Wisdom), draw Achintya Kumara Bodhisattva (Inconceivable Youth Bodhisattva). On the left side of Manjushri, draw Traiyatrimshatbhavana Bodhisattva (Bodhisattva Who Protects Wisdom). On the right side of Vajrapani (Vajra-bearing Bodhisattva), draw Bhrikuti Bodhisattva (Frowning One). On the left side of Vajrapani, draw Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva of Compassion). Like the previous eight great deities, each has its own color, form, emblem, mudra, and appearance. The following verses describe them: The crown chakra has only one syllable, uniquely serving as the central deity, with the majestic appearance of the blazing Buddha, pores emitting scattered light. The head is adorned with the images of the Five Buddhas, the two hands like Shakyamuni. On the right is Manjushri, wearing the five wisdom jeweled crown, the left hand holding a blue lotus, upon which stands a wisdom vajra, the right hand holding a great wisdom sword, sitting in a half-lotus posture. In front is Buddhalocana (Buddha's Eye), the body is the color of a red lotus, the left hand holding the five-eye mudra, the right hand making the Tathagata fist. On the left is Vajrapani, the body is white-red, the right hand holding an upturned lotus, upon which stand the five wisdoms, the left hand holding the bell mudra, sitting in a half-lotus posture. Next is Achintya Kumara, the face is reddish-gold, the two hands joined inward in a fist, the two wind fingers bent opposite each other, with the fingernail backs touching each other, offering a gesture to Manjushri. Again, Traiyatrimshatbhavana, the body is like a white lotus, the wisdom feathers covering his heart, the empty end stretching straight upward. On the right is Bhrikuti, the appearance is jade-like in color, the front two hands in meditation and wisdom, the meditation hand holding an unopened lotus, the wisdom hand showing the fearless mudra, the rear two hands in meditation and wisdom, the meditation hand holding a rosary, the wisdom hand holding a kundika (water bottle). Next is Avalokiteshvara, also known as Cintamanicakra (Wish-fulfilling Wheel), the left palm holding a mani jewel, the wisdom hand extended in the wish-granting mudra, the body all white-red, residing in a large lotus. Outside of these eight deities, a circular boundary is set, encircling the boundary, writing the mantras of the four deities, namely, Sushita-tejas Tathagata (Intensely Blazing Light Tathagata), Buddhalocana Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Vajrapani Bodhisattva, the secret mantras written on the back, white powder and gold and silver, all understand the supreme meaning. Outside the mantras, one should draw the Nine Graha Devas (Nine Ruling Celestial Lords), namely, Surya (Sun God), Chandra (Moon God), the Five Planets, Rahu (Eclipse God), Ketu (Comet), and Mahabrahma (Great Brahma). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The Heavenly Kings, Śuddhāvāsa (Pure Abode Heavens), Nārāyaṇa, Tuṣita Heaven, and Indra (Lord of the Devas). Behind the Buddha, paint Maheśvara (Great Lord). A total of twelve deities, arranged and distributed in a circle around. Each has their own mount and each holds their own attribute. Only those who have received this teaching know this. Outside these great deities, establish a boundary path. Outside the boundary path, vertically draw twelve single-pronged vajras (thunderbolts), extending to the outer wheel rim, serving as the spokes of the golden wheel. Between these spokes, in front of the Buddha facing the Buddha, on the right side, following the sun's direction clockwise, place Leo (Simha), then Libra (Tula), then Scorpio (Vrishchika), then Sagittarius (Dhanus), then Capricorn (Makara). These six zodiac signs are on the Buddha's right side. Then, from behind the Buddha, rotating clockwise but facing the front of the Buddha, place Aquarius (Kumbha), then Pisces (Mina), then Aries (Mesha), then Taurus (Vrishabha), then Gemini (Mithuna), then Cancer (Karkata). These six zodiac signs are on the Buddha's left side, connecting with Leo. Behind the Buddha, place Aśvinī (the first lunar mansion). In front of the Buddha, place Kṛttikā (the Pleiades). Outside these twelve zodiac signs, place the twenty-eight Nakṣatras (lunar mansions), each arranged according to its respective position. Only when eliminating disasters for the king should the full forms of the deities be painted. For ordinary people and those below, when eliminating disasters, the forms of the deities should not be painted. Simply set up the positions, write the Sanskrit names of the deities, and mark the star shapes. Outside the twenty-eight Nakṣatras, draw a wheel rim all around, shaped like the rim of a cartwheel. The gold color, width, and size should be proportionate to the shape of the wheel. On this rim, paint the Eight Directional Heavenly Kings. In front of the Buddha, place Yama (Lord of Death). Behind the Buddha, place Vaiśravaṇa (the Heavenly King of the North). On the rim behind Mañjuśrī, place Varuna (the Water God). Behind Vajrapāṇi, place Dhṛtarāṣṭra (the Heavenly King of the East) and the Gandharva King. In the four corners, place the Four Devas. In the northeast corner, Paranirmita-vaśavartin (the Lord of the Realm of Desire). In the southeast corner, Agni (the Fire God). In the southwest corner, Rakshasa (Lord of Demons). In the northwest corner, Vāyu (the Wind God). In the empty spaces on this rim, write in gold and silver the Uṣṇīṣa-cakravartin (Victorious Buddha-Crown) mantra, the Four-Line Verse on Dependent Origination, and the text of the Twelve Nidānas (Links of Dependent Origination). 'Conditioned by ignorance, volitional action arises,' and so on, 'conditioned by birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair arise.' Also, write the Twelve Cessations. 'With the cessation of ignorance, volitional action ceases,' and so on, 'with the cessation of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, and despair cease.' Let them be distributed all over the rim. Furthermore, outside the wheel, one should write one hundred and eight blue lotuses. The tips of the petals should appear as if they are supporting the wheel. On each petal, write the Sanskrit letter 'a'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

金银或用白粉。金银最妙。叶外四边界外方四缘。周匝画作界道。于界道上画独股金刚杵。相接周匝围绕令合。便成结界。于方界内轮外四角空处。画四大明王以为外护。于佛前右边角内。画四臂降三世明王青色。于佛前左边角内。即画无动明王青色。于佛后右边角内。画四臂无能胜明王紫黑色。于佛后左边角内。画四臂大力乌刍涩摩金刚明王赤色。此四大明王。并皆坐宝盘石上火焰围绕。如是依教安布。名曰一切如来秘密除灾教令法轮。若有难时。上从王者次及储君后妃婇女。下及百寮道俗凡庶。本命宿上五星陵押退行留守。或日月于上交蚀。彗孛恶星𠡭犯宿者。于是中即用此法。严饰一净房深密之处。建曼荼罗。勿使多人知见。若多人知见即求愿难得灾祸不除。若国王息灾者。应严饰一深殿建曼荼罗。依教如法护净严饰如经所说。勿使女人黄门奴婢下劣人见即触秽道场。所谓及诸畜生皆是不吉祥之类器。若猪狗猫鼠尽勿令见清净道场。若能一一躬亲自入道场。至诚祈祷所祀天神。念诵炽盛光佛顶真言昼夜不间断。兼诵诸尊真言。少则三日三夜。多或七日七夜或二七日夜。至心持念兼作护摩。乃至感应得吉祥警诫此为最胜。当知灾障决定消灭。若得应效。其曼荼罗。便须收却不应久留。本法如是。若是地坛便须除刬 现代汉语译本:可以用金银或者白粉来制作。用金银是最好的。在叶子外面的四个边界,或者说四方形的四个边缘,周围画上作为界线的道路。在界线的道路上画上独股金刚杵(一种法器),使其相互连接,周围环绕,合在一起,这样就形成了结界。在方形结界内的轮子外面的四个角落的空处,画上四大明王作为外围的守护。在佛像前右边的角落里,画上四臂降三世明王(一种忿怒尊),颜色为青色。在佛像前左边的角落里,就画上不动明王(一种忿怒尊),颜色为青色。在佛像后右边的角落里,画上四臂无能胜明王(一种忿怒尊),颜色为紫黑色。在佛像后左边的角落里,画上四臂大力乌刍瑟摩金刚明王(一种忿怒尊),颜色为红色。这四大明王,都坐在宝盘石上,周围有火焰环绕。像这样按照教法安置布置,就叫做一切如来秘密除灾教令法轮。如果遇到灾难的时候,上至国王,其次是储君、后妃、宫女,下至百官、僧侣道士、平民百姓,如果本命星宿上五星运行不顺,陵押、退行、留守,或者日月发生交蚀,彗星、孛星等恶星侵犯星宿,就在这其中使用这个方法。认真装饰一个干净的房间,在深密的地方建立曼荼罗(坛城),不要让很多人看见。如果很多人看见,就难以求得愿望,灾祸也难以消除。如果国王想要消除灾难,应该认真装饰一个深邃的殿堂,建立曼荼罗,按照教法如法地守护清净,认真装饰,就像经书所说的那样。不要让女人、太监、奴婢、下等人看见,以免触犯玷污道场。还有各种畜生,都是不吉祥的东西。猪、狗、猫、老鼠都不要让它们看见清净的道场。如果能够亲自进入道场,至诚祈祷所祭祀的天神,念诵炽盛光佛顶真言(一种咒语),昼夜不停断,同时念诵诸尊的真言,少则三天三夜,多则七天七夜,或者十四天,至心持念,同时进行护摩(火供),乃至感应,得到吉祥的警示,这是最好的。应当知道灾障必定消灭。如果得到应验,就必须收起曼荼罗,不应该长久保留。本法就是这样。如果是土地坛,就必须铲除。
