English version: Regarding the method of drawing images. Take four pieces of silk, each eight feet long, and coat the silk with fragrant juice. Do not use glue to paint the images. The person painting the images must observe the Eight Precepts, eat pure food, bathe, and wear clean new clothes. In a clean room, burn incense, place a bathing pot filled with fragrant water, and sprinkle water in all four directions to create a boundary. First, draw a water pond, with the pond branching into two forks downwards. In the water pond, draw lotus flowers, some open and some unopened, facing downwards. Around the four sides of the water pond, place sword-railing stone pillars, all decorated with colors. The tops of the pillars are shaped like open lotus flowers, with Vajra beads placed inside. Each pillar is adorned with golden beads. In the center, create a descending bridge, also decorated with colored treasures. On the drawn Thousand Treasure Steps, paint five rooms with doors, with a structure above resembling a building. Build seven rooms with doors upwards, with owl-tail ornaments (a type of roof ridge decoration) placed on top. The tiles are the color of blue lapis lazuli. The downward-facing eaves each emit treasure flowers from their mouths, with jeweled bells hanging in the middle. All seven rooms have doors and windows. A large golden lock is placed on the central door. All the doors are also decorated with seven-treasure colored paintings. Below the central door, paint an image of Vairocana Buddha (卢舍那佛), according to the usual length and form of the Buddha. To the left and right are Ananda (阿难) and Kasyapa (迦叶), as well as Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (观世音菩萨) and Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva (大势至菩萨), all adorned with seven treasures. To the left and right, paint two Vajras, purely painted in gold, holding treasure clubs in their hands, displaying a majestic demon-subduing posture. Draw golden mountains under the feet of the Vajras. To the left and right downwards, draw two more Vajras, shaped like red and white. Wheel covers are placed on top of the Vajras. They all hold clubs in their hands, decorated with colors. They still step on Vajra mountains under their feet, upright and majestic, one with an open mouth and one with a smiling lip. Under the left and right feet of the Vajras, draw two lions, raising their heads upwards in a roaring posture. In front of the image of Vairocana Buddha, place a large golden incense burner, with a seven-treasure cover placed on top, and do not let the incense smoke be cut off. In front of the incense burner, draw an open lotus flower. A seven-treasure flower tray emerges from the center of the lotus flower. Draw seven golden layers in the flower tray. Place gold, silver, lapis lazuli, coral, pearls, benzoin, frankincense, and sandalwood incense in these layers for offering. Draw four banners of the Four Heavenly Kings in front of the flower tray. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Twelve Vajra banners (Vajra banner, a type of flag), twelve Bodhisattva banners (Bodhisattva banner), and eight Naga King banners (Naga King banner). The practitioner (行者) does this: spread a mattress on the ground, and draw auspicious bird grass patterns on the mattress. The practitioner kneels and puts palms together in offering. If good men, good women, Upasakas (Upasaka, a male lay follower), Upasikas (Upasika, a female lay follower), Brahmins (Brahmin), etc., each draw their own personal deity (本尊), with a joyful face and a youthful appearance, sitting in the lotus position (坐禅姿势), then the ritual of the image is complete. At this time, the Lord Buddha (世尊) spoke of the Dharmakaya mudra (Dharmakaya mudra) for creating all mudras (mudra, hand gesture), this is the first mudra. Stand up, with feet forming a 'T' shape. Straighten both hands and bring palms together upwards, with arms straight. Separate the two middle fingers, and join the other eight fingers at the middle joint. Bend both wrists upwards, raising them above the head. This is the body protection mudra (护身印). Recite the mantra one hundred and eight times. The Subduing all ghosts, spirits, demons and Mara mudra (降伏一切诸鬼神天魔印), this is the second mudra. Join the eight fingers together, separate the two middle fingers, with the right middle finger pressing on the left middle finger. When making this mudra, all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras (Vajra), Devas, etc., will be delighted. The Eliminating all sins and obstacles mudra (能消灭一切罪障印), this is the third mudra. Separate the eight fingers, the ring fingers, little fingers, index fingers, and middle fingers, with the left hand pressing on the right hand, and bring the elbows together. Kneel and recite the mantra one hundred and eight times, or one thousand and eight times. If good men, good women, Bhikkhus (Bhikkhu, a monk), Bhikkhunis (Bhikkhuni, a nun), Upasakas (Upasaka, a male lay follower), Upasikas (Upasika, a female lay follower), Brahmins (Brahmin), etc., all their past, future, and present sins and obstacles can be completely eliminated. When making this mudra, one can always receive the protection of all Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the eight kinds of supernatural beings (Devas and Nagas, eight kinds of supernatural beings). After making this mudra, the practitioner should visualize their body as a Vajra body (Vajra body) through the power of the mudra. Make offerings to the three paths (body, speech, and mind). When making the mudra, in front of the honored image, bathe, put on new and clean clothes, burn incense to purify the hands, and make offerings of various delicious cakes and fruits. The person performing the ritual should invite all Buddhas of the past, future, and present, in the ten directions and three times, the eight kinds of supernatural beings, the twelve divisions of scriptures, and the Sutra Pitaka (Sutra Pitaka, the collection of Sutras). Announce to the officials of the underworld and the path of karma, and testify that all the past, future, and present sins of my disciple, so-and-so, may be eliminated. This person, within this Dharani mudra (Dharani mudra), can attain Vajra Samadhi (Vajra Samadhi).
