English version: Taisho Tripitaka Volume 20, No. 1042: The Method of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva's Great Compassionate Wisdom Seal Pervading the Dharma Realm, Benefiting Sentient Beings, Perfuming True Suchness No. 1042 One Scroll of the Method of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva's Great Compassionate Wisdom Seal Pervading the Dharma Realm, Benefiting Sentient Beings, Perfuming True Suchness Translated by the Great Tang Special Advancement, Acting Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, Concurrently Holding the Title of Grand Master of the Palace, Bearing the Title of Duke of Su State, Posthumously Granted the Title of Minister of Works, Posthumously Honored with the Title of Great Discriminator, Greatly Wise, and Unempty Tripiṭaka Master I have received the sacred decree of Vairocana (毗卢遮那). Therefore, I speak of the Dharma of Avalokiteśvara (观自在), the Great (摩诃) Wisdom (枳娘曩) Mother Mudra (母怛罗). If there are those who cultivate Yoga and desire to be born in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to benefit sentient beings, they should receive the Lotus Vajra Dharma ritual from an Acharya (阿阇梨耶, teacher) who is wise and mature. Extensively arrange offerings and perform recitations in the mandala, placing a censer within it. This censer contains the aspect of Avalokiteśvara pervading the Dharma Realm. What is this aspect? The incense seal should be made with the Hrih (纥哩) syllable. The principle of karmic wisdom is unattainable. The four meanings of ha ra ī aḥ are combined into one syllable. This is the Sanskrit hrīḥ. The syllable 'ha' means the cause of all dharmas is unattainable. The syllable 'ra' means pure and without defilement. The syllable 'ī' means freedom is unattainable. The syllable 'aḥ' means originally unborn and unceasing. This is the direct meaning. Originally unborn and unceasing, freedom is unattainable, pure and without defilement, the cause of all dharmas is unattainable. This is the reverse meaning. The direct and reverse meanings correspond, revealing the incense seal. I have made its diagram. <<PIC>T20p0033_01.gif</PIC> This wonderful incense seal is named 'Great Compassion Extricating Suffering.' Why is this so? According to the order of burning, the true principle is revealed. When it is completely burned, it signifies that whether direct or reverse, it ultimately returns to the Dharma of Emptiness. One should carefully observe that from the single syllable Hrih (纥哩), the five syllables such as Om Vajra (嚩日罗) Dharma (达磨) are born. From each syllable, countless syllable-doors are born. Each syllable-door transforms into all Buddhas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

菩萨身。一一化身周遍法界利益众生。是故行者得无量福。悉地圆满蒙诸佛加被。是故行者获现世安稳无诸障碍。如妙莲华。见者爱惜。转已得生极乐上品莲中。其有利根智慧方便。现身见佛。得陀罗尼名。不染世也。所生之处身出妙香。遍十方国。众生得薰。皆证不退。如是功德不可具说。其香炉盖上。可雕嚩日罗(二合)达磨字。首加唵字以为五字(可旋顺)其盖中央应立三昧耶形。一钴杵上安开八叶莲华是也。如上五字围绕此三昧耶。三昧耶者是本誓之形也。若见此形作礼专念。即证莲华性。所以生极乐者更不染世。设交世间。度众生如莲华不为诸垢所染也。皆由过去本誓愿力故。证此果界也。是故行者立此三昧耶形。应专念之而作是想。是hrīḥ 文之香烟成此三昧耶形。此形更为本尊形体。表因时本誓。遂为果时形色。是三昧耶义也。烧香之时结本尊契。诵是本真言印之。即得成就。其盖图如斯。 图<<PIC>T20p0033_02.gif</PIC> (如上香印略说)。<<PIC>T20p0034_01.gif</PIC> 得入此轮至无上菩提。若欲不间常诵真言。然而未离攀缘拟懈怠者。但依是妙印。应烧栴檀莲等香。如是每日作烧香法者。即成常业诵持金 现代汉语译本：菩萨之身，每一个化身都周遍法界，利益众生。因此，修行者可以获得无量的福报，成就圆满，蒙受诸佛的加持。因此，修行者可以获得现世的安稳，没有各种障碍，就像美妙的莲花，见到的人都爱惜。转世后可以往生到极乐世界的上品莲花之中。那些具有有利根、智慧和方便的人，可以现身见到佛，获得陀罗尼（dharani）之名，不被世俗所染污。他们所出生的地方，身体散发出美妙的香气，遍布十方国土，众生闻到这香气，都能证得不退转。这样的功德是无法完全说尽的。香炉盖上，可以雕刻嚩日罗（vajra，金刚）达磨（dharma，法）字，首部加上唵（om）字，成为五个字（可以旋转）。盖子的中央应该设立三昧耶（samaya，本誓）形，也就是一钴杵（vajra）上安放着开放的八叶莲花。如上五个字围绕着这个三昧耶形。三昧耶是本誓的形状。如果见到这个形状，恭敬作礼，专心念诵，就能证得莲花的本性。所以往生到极乐世界的人，不再被世俗所染污。即使进入世间，度化众生，也像莲花一样不被各种污垢所染污。这都是由于过去本誓愿力的缘故，才能证得这样的果报。因此，修行者设立这个三昧耶形，应该专心念诵，并且作这样的观想：是hrīḥ（种子字）的香烟形成了这个三昧耶形。这个形状进一步成为本尊的形体，表示因地的本誓，最终成为果地的形色，这就是三昧耶的意义。烧香的时候，结本尊的手印，诵持本尊的真言加持，就能得到成就。香炉盖的图样如下。 （如上香印略说）。 得以进入此轮，直至无上菩提。如果想要不间断地常诵真言，然而还没有脱离攀缘，想要懈怠的人，只要依靠这个妙印，应该烧栴檀、莲花等香。像这样每天作烧香法的人，就能成就常业，诵持金...

English version: The body of a Bodhisattva, each emanation pervading the Dharma realm, benefiting all sentient beings. Therefore, practitioners can obtain immeasurable blessings, achieve perfect accomplishment, and receive the blessings of all Buddhas. Therefore, practitioners can obtain peace and stability in this life, free from all obstacles, like a beautiful lotus flower, cherished by all who see it. After rebirth, they can be reborn in the highest grade lotus in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (Sukhavati). Those with sharp roots, wisdom, and skillful means can see the Buddha in their present body, obtain the name of Dharani (dharani), and not be defiled by the world. In the place where they are born, their bodies emit a wonderful fragrance, pervading the ten directions. When sentient beings smell this fragrance, they can all attain non-retrogression. Such merits cannot be fully described. On the lid of the incense burner, the characters Vajra (vajra) Dharma (dharma) can be carved, with the syllable Om (om) added at the beginning, forming five syllables (which can be rotated). In the center of the lid, a Samaya (samaya) form should be established, which is a vajra (vajra) with an open eight-petaled lotus flower on top. The above five syllables surround this Samaya form. Samaya is the shape of the original vow. If you see this shape, respectfully prostrate and recite with focused mind, you can realize the lotus nature. Therefore, those who are reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss are no longer defiled by the world. Even if they enter the world to liberate sentient beings, they are like a lotus flower, not defiled by any impurities. This is all due to the power of past original vows, which enables them to realize this fruit realm. Therefore, practitioners should establish this Samaya form, and should recite with focused mind, and visualize that the incense smoke of the syllable hrīḥ (seed syllable) forms this Samaya form. This form further becomes the form of the principal deity, representing the original vow in the causal stage, which eventually becomes the form and color in the resultant stage. This is the meaning of Samaya. When burning incense, form the mudra (hand gesture) of the principal deity, and empower it by reciting the mantra (mantra) of the principal deity, and you will attain accomplishment. The diagram of the incense burner lid is as follows. (The above is a brief explanation of the incense mudra). One can enter this wheel until unsurpassed Bodhi. If you want to constantly recite the mantra without interruption, but have not yet detached from clinging and want to be lazy, just rely on this wonderful mudra, and should burn sandalwood, lotus, and other incense. Those who perform the incense burning practice in this way every day can achieve constant practice and recite the Golden... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 刚法明。何以故。如上真言字义。皆于此印香能显示故。 根本印。二手金刚缚。二头指头合如莲华叶。二大指并立即成。真言曰。 oṃ va jra dha rmma hrīḥ

English version: Vajradharma. Why is that? Because the meaning of the above mantra syllables can all be revealed through this incense mudra. The fundamental mudra: Form the Vajrabandha mudra with both hands. Join the tips of the two index fingers together like lotus petals. Bring the two thumbs together and raise them upright. The mantra is: oṃ vajra dharma hrīḥ If someone recites this one-syllable mantra, they can eliminate all disasters and illnesses. After death, they will be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, attaining the highest grade of lotus birth. All other desires, whether worldly or transcendental, can be fulfilled through recitation. How much more so for those who practice according to this teaching, all siddhis (achievements) will soon be perfected. The Avalokiteśvara Perfuming the Suchness Incense Mudra Dharma is now complete. One fascicle of the Avalokiteśvara Wonderful Incense Mudra Dharma In the summer of the year of the Wood Rabbit in the Hōkyō era, based on the collated version of the venerable Jōgon, it was proofread and printed, wishing that the incense smoke may illuminate the Suchness hrīḥ, covering all realms. Written by the śrāmaṇa Mutōshi of the Myōon-in temple in Hase, Yamato Province. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
