t39n1798 vajrasekhara sutra great yoga secret mind ground dharma gate meaning key.g2.0f

English

English version: At the tip of the tongue. Visualize emitting various lights. Then use mantra to bless the speech and sound. The secret meaning of the sage here refers to the sound of the holy power of Vajra Samadhi (Diamond Concentration). The verse says to wash the face and chew the tooth wood. The sutra says that if you recite the mantra when washing your face, everything will give rise to joy. It is explained that this water is born from Vajra Samadhi (Diamond Concentration), and is used to wash the face, making the face like a diamond, so that all demons dare not look directly. All Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones) will rejoice. Next is the method of chewing tooth wood. The sutra says that if you chew the willow branch, you must bless it before chewing. It is explained that if you do it according to the Dharma, it can enable the practitioner to achieve Vajra Smiling Samadhi (Diamond Smiling Concentration). Therefore, the secret meaning refers to the merits of the Buddha. Blessing with Vajra Smiling Samadhi (Diamond Smiling Concentration) is said to be able to break all afflictions and secondary afflictions. Make the Vajra fist with the posture of observing feathers, that is, tightly grasp the thumb with the right hand and hold the willow branch. The verse says the easy binding protection method. The sutra says that if you want to go to a convenient place, you should make the armor mudra (hand gesture) with your left and right hands, and even wash it clean. It is explained that this sutra lacks the Vajra Armor Mudra (Diamond Armor Hand Gesture). Now add an explanation. The armor mudra (hand gesture) is to first put your hands together in front of your chest, then attach the two index fingers to the back of the two middle fingers, stand up the two thumbs together, and twist them at the middle joint of the two middle fingers. This is the mantra: Om Vajra Kavaca Hum (唵 拔折啰 迦伐遮 吽) The secret meaning is to put on the armor of the Buddha's virtue Vajra Samadhi (Diamond Concentration). Use this secret mudra (hand gesture) to bless the two shoulders, left and right ribs, waist, thighs, etc. of the body. Visualize yourself as if you are wearing armor. Then place the mudra (hand gesture) on the top of the head, and divide each into two Vajra fists. The posture of the fist is that the four fingers below the index finger each grasp the thumb. Raise the fists together on the top of the head, and then straighten the two index fingers like needle points. The heads touch each other, visualizing it as the head point. Then separate the hands, along the two shoulders down to the heart. Touch the two index fingers together, and then use the two syllables Om Tram Hum (唵 啅 吽) to bless the two index fingers. Visualize the two index fingers emitting five-colored light, forming a Vajra belt. Then wrap it around the body up and down, as if tying an armor. This is called the method of decorating the armor. As the sutra says. Next, bless the land and restore dwelling in the Dharma Realm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

心。左右金刚护。所谓此三字护身。放大光焰赫炽外发。复以明印而用加持。印相如经。故云三界所有诸恶皆得消灭。若不能用前明印唯诵后一切通用秘明亦得。若二俱寂胜。后之真言兼用前印。一切处用结护(应知)。   颂云[口*束*页]口洗浴法者。经云以此秘明加持金刚水及真言至[口*束*页]口讫等。释曰。秘密义者佛德金刚大悲三昧水净持口秽。令口业清净。寂智门开发也。是名[口*束*页]口法。   次洗浴法者。经云便当洗浴洗浴者有四种每日随意乃至随能任作等。释曰。一具持三种律仪者。谓令住三三昧显发三身故。二礼忏发露等者。谓净除业障得无碍智故。三结印供养言。谓令诸佛欢喜增福寿命故。四以香水洗浴者。谓令支分柔软合法性故。随此修行是洗浴义也。思之可解。三律仪义广如别经所明。   颂云并浴部尊法者。经云若入池水浴时先想为诸天欢喜池。于水中央想有如来最胜上轮坛。乃至想彼轮漫荼罗尽入己身中等。释曰。想五字等为种子。出生各各部会尊众等。即以香水满掬以为供养等。其掬水法经不具明。今以具述。先以并两手侧着如掬物势。以二大指入于掬中。三度向外拨水令至尊所。想灌尊仪一一别浴。或普想都浴之。余文可解。   颂云想严身内外者 现代汉语译本:心。左右有金刚护卫。这就是所说的用这三个字来护身。放大光焰,使其炽盛向外散发。再用明印来加持,印相如经中所述。所以说三界所有的恶事都能消灭。如果不能用前面的明印,只诵念后面的通用秘明也可以。如果两者都能做到就更好了。后面的真言可以配合前面的印一起使用,在任何地方都可以用来结界守护(应该知道)。 颂文说的是漱口洗浴法。经中说用这个秘明加持金刚水,并诵念真言直到漱口完毕等等。解释说,秘密的含义是佛的功德、金刚的大悲、三昧水能清净口中的污秽,使口业清净,开启寂静的智慧之门。这就是漱口法。 其次是洗浴法。经中说应当洗浴,洗浴有四种,每天可以随意选择,甚至随自己的能力来做等等。解释说,一是具足持守三种律仪的人,是为了安住于三三昧,显发三身。二是礼拜忏悔发露罪过等等,是为了清净业障,获得无碍的智慧。三是结印供养,是为了让诸佛欢喜,增长福德寿命。四是用香水洗浴,是为了让肢体柔软,符合法性。按照这些修行就是洗浴的意义。仔细思考就可以理解。三种律仪的意义广泛,如其他经典所说。 颂文说的是配合浴部尊的法。经中说如果进入池水中洗浴时,先观想这个池水是让诸天欢喜的池水。在水的中央观想有如来最殊胜的上轮坛,乃至观想那个轮坛曼荼罗完全进入自己的身体中等等。解释说,观想五个字等等作为种子,出生各个部会的尊众等等。然后用充满香水的手掬水来供养等等。关于掬水的方法,经中没有详细说明,现在详细叙述。先将两手并拢,侧着,做出掬水的姿势,用两个大拇指放入掬中,三次向外拨水,让水到达尊者所在之处。观想灌浴尊者的仪容,一一分别洗浴,或者普遍观想全部洗浴。其余的文字可以理解。 颂文说的是观想庄严身体内外

English version: Heart. Vajras (Diamond Beings) guard on the left and right. This is what is meant by using these three syllables to protect the body. Magnify the light and flames, making them blaze and radiate outwards. Then use the 'Ming' mudra (enlightenment seal) to bless it, the mudra's form as described in the sutra. Therefore, it is said that all evils in the three realms can be eliminated. If one cannot use the previous 'Ming' mudra, reciting only the universally applicable secret 'Ming' mantra is also effective. If both can be done, that is even better. The subsequent mantra can be used with the previous mudra for protection in all places (it should be known). The verse speaks of the mouth rinsing and bathing method. The sutra says to bless the Vajra water with this secret 'Ming' mantra and recite the mantra until the mouth rinsing is completed, etc. The explanation says that the secret meaning is that the Buddha's virtue, the Vajra's great compassion, and the Samadhi water purify the defilement of the mouth, purify the karma of speech, and open the gate of tranquil wisdom. This is called the mouth rinsing method. Next is the bathing method. The sutra says that one should bathe, and there are four kinds of bathing, which can be chosen at will every day, or even done according to one's ability, etc. The explanation says that firstly, those who fully uphold the three vows (律仪, *lǜyí*) do so in order to abide in the three Samadhis (三昧, *sānmèi*) and manifest the three bodies (三身, *sānshēn*). Secondly, performing prostrations and confessing transgressions, etc., is to purify karmic obstacles and attain unobstructed wisdom. Thirdly, forming mudras and making offerings is to make the Buddhas happy and increase blessings and lifespan. Fourthly, bathing with fragrant water is to make the limbs supple and conform to the Dharma nature. Practicing according to these is the meaning of bathing. Thinking about it can be understood. The meaning of the three vows is extensive, as explained in other sutras. The verse speaks of combining the Dharma of the bathing deities. The sutra says that if entering a pool of water to bathe, first visualize the pool as a pool that pleases the devas (诸天, *zhūtiān*). In the center of the water, visualize the most supreme wheel mandala (轮坛曼荼罗, *lúntán màntúluó*) of the Tathagata (如来, *Rúlái*), and even visualize that wheel mandala completely entering one's own body, etc. The explanation says to visualize the five syllables, etc., as seeds, giving rise to the assembly of deities of each division, etc. Then use cupped hands full of fragrant water to make offerings, etc. The sutra does not fully explain the method of cupping water, so now it is described in detail. First, bring both hands together, sideways, making a cupping gesture. Place the two thumbs into the cupped space, and flick the water outwards three times, allowing the water to reach the place where the honored one is. Visualize irrigating the honored one's form, bathing each one separately, or universally visualizing bathing all of them. The remaining text can be understood. The verse speaks of visualizing adorning the body inside and out --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

。经云如是想已出立岸上乃至秘明真实义理等。释曰。如常束带者随自庄严。又以头冠等庄饰其身者。经无此印。今更叙之。以二手右押左向外相叉。二中指头相跓。如莲华叶举安顶上。即便各为金刚拳。分手从头两畔向下缘身散之。想成鬓带及天衣等。结印时复诵此真言曰。   唵拔折罗钵踏摩呵毗诜者三漫多嚩日哩   秘密义者谓佛德金刚莲华冠于我心顶上也。作是法随乐本尊想合一体。然后想执拔折罗等。乃至秘明真实义理等。随自持者思之。余文可解。   颂云次入道场法者。经云然后往道场所欲入之时乃至擗诸不祥等。释曰。如上[口*束*页]口真言是结止。羽拳者左手握大指为拳。兼出金刚声。以拳辟门令开也。嗔怒眼者慈心圆晴左右傍视也。   颂云普礼忏随向者。经云入已正念十方常住乃至如法作已等。释曰。此初入时普皆想礼毗卢遮那法界常住会也。此合有忏悔劝请随喜回向等法。阙者为略修瑜伽者常住金刚身语意。即旋入普贤遍一切行愿身。此法满故故不广列之。若有乐者随意所作。五体及䠒跪等可解。   颂云别归献愿法者。经云即从座起复以右膝着地乃至于四方如上作法礼已等。释曰。此有四义。一为成就一切诸佛金刚普贤行位故。二为成满一切诸佛金刚灌顶位故。 现代汉语译本:经文说,像这样想过后,就从水中站立到岸上,乃至领悟秘密而真实的义理等等。解释说,像平常那样束好衣带的人,可以随意地庄严自己。又用头冠等来装饰身体。经文中没有这个手印,现在补充说明。用双手,右手压在左手上,向外交叉,两个中指的指头相抵,像莲花叶一样举起,安放在头顶上。然后立即各自结成金刚拳,分手从头的两边向下,沿着身体散开,想象成为鬓带和天衣等。结印时再诵念这个真言,说: ‘唵 拔折罗 钵踏摩 呵 毗诜者 三漫多 嚩日哩’(Om Vajra Padma Maha Abhisheka Samanta Vajri) 秘密的意义是指佛的功德、金刚、莲花冠于我的心顶之上。做这个法时,随自己喜欢的本尊,想象与其合为一体。然后想象手执拔折罗(Vajra,金刚杵)等,乃至领悟秘密而真实的义理等等。随自己所持的法器来思量。其余的文字可以理解。 颂文说,接下来进入道场的方法。经文说,然后前往道场,想要进入的时候,乃至驱除各种不祥等等。解释说,像上面所说的[口*束*页]口真言是用来结界的。羽拳,是左手握住大拇指成拳。同时发出金刚的声音,用拳头辟开门,使其打开。嗔怒眼,是用慈悲心,眼睛圆睁,左右环视。 颂文说,普遍礼拜忏悔,随顺方向。经文说,进入后,以正念礼敬十方常住的佛,乃至如法地做好等等。解释说,这最初进入时,普遍地想象礼拜毗卢遮那佛(Vairocana,光明遍照)法界常住的法会。这里包含了忏悔、劝请、随喜、回向等法。省略的原因是为那些简略修习瑜伽的人,常住金刚身语意,即是旋入普贤菩萨(Samantabhadra,普贤)遍一切行愿身。这个法已经圆满,所以不广为列举。如果有喜欢的人,可以随意去做。五体投地和跪拜等可以理解。 颂文说,分别归依献愿的方法。经文说,就从座位上起来,再次用右膝跪地,乃至于向四方如上面所说的方法礼拜等等。解释说,这有四种意义。一是为成就一切诸佛的金刚普贤行位,二是为成满一切诸佛的金刚灌顶位。
