English version When beginning to recite the mantra, each side of the altar should be sixteen cubits long. Make fourfold enclosures, with the appearance of the courtyards being white on the outside and four different colors on the inside, each layer resembling a wall. This makes eight layers in total. Combine the colors of the five directions, with doors opening on all four sides, corresponding to the east, west, south, and north. The central layer does not need a door. Prepare eight large earthenware jars and four urns, filled with water, and insert cypress and tree branches into them, placing them in the water jars and urns. Prepare white cakes, glutinous rice, yogurt, ghee, honey, fragrant fruits, and other offerings. Light sixteen lamps. Outside each of the four doors, insert sixteen unused arrows, with five-colored threads hanging from the arrows. Take four branches of Khadira wood (purple sandalwood), two branches five fingers long and two branches six fingers long, and nail them to the four corners of the altar. Scatter various seasonal and non-seasonal flowers on the altar. Also, take one thousand eight hundred branches of Phoga wood (small seeds of the Coa tree), each one foot long. Use an earthenware or copper bowl, and smear ghee and milk on these wooden branches. Recite the mantra once for each branch and then throw it into the fire. If there is no Khadira wood (red jujube wood can also be used as a substitute), you must paint a white image of the Holy Avalokiteśvara, making it as large or small as your ability allows. Also, first recite the Dharma Cloud, the karmic obstacles accumulated over thousands of kalpas, all will be extinguished at once through recitation. You will obtain the roots of goodness accumulated by a thousand Buddhas, and escape the cycle of birth, old age, sickness, and death that has flowed for thousands of kalpas. After abandoning this body, you will immediately see the Holy King who turns the wheel a thousand times, and constantly uphold the ten virtues. If you wish to be reborn in the pure lands of the Buddhas, recite twenty-one times each, three times during the day and three times at night, for three weeks (twenty-one days), and your wish will be fulfilled. You will see the golden image of the Buddha and the images of Bodhisattvas in your dreams (this is a sign that you will be reborn in the pure land). The above mantra and its functions were obtained by the Master Tong from the Sanskrit version translated at the Zongchi Temple. The method of sealing was translated by the Master Juta. The separate translation says: Method of receiving and upholding: Take five catties of Durva grass (including the seedlings), one thousand pieces of paper mulberry wood, each one foot long, and recite the mantra a thousand times in total. When about to burn them, smear ghee on the stems of the wood and on the incense, reciting the mantra once for each item before burning. In advance, in the fifth or sixth month, take cow dung and dry it in the shade, mix it with Durva grass water to make mud, and create a circular field two cubits long. Place various offerings on the field. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English
English version: Floral incense. Even in the cold winter months when there are no flowers, one can carve flowers as a substitute. Then, burn frankincense (薰陆香). The mantra master faces east, sits, and recites the mantra a full one thousand times for the method to be accomplished. Before chanting the mantra, use this mantra water, reciting it twenty-one times, or seven times, and then drink it. This mantra water can be used to dispel defilement, purify rooms, Daos, Buddha halls, cleanse the body, strike the sick with mantra-infused willow branches, and treat illnesses. For each of these uses, recite it twenty-one times. If one can, throughout their life, recite it three times a day, each time reciting it twenty-one times, the merit of eliminating sins will be inconceivable, and it can be universally applied to all purposes.
