English version: The four kinds of activities of all Buddhas. The sutra says: 'Moreover, with the vajra mudra, bring the palms together from the top of the head down to the heart, and with the mantra, perform the vajra activities for me, etc.' The explanation says: The secret meaning is to bring the palms together in reverence, single-mindedly contemplating the northern world of various wonderful and adorned features, using all kinds of colorful garlands, necklaces, music, songs of praise, and other wonderful Buddha activities to adorn the entire space realm. Also, visualize all the Tathagatas (Thus Come Ones) and Bodhisattvas (Enlightened Beings), as numerous as the dust particles in all the worlds, in a vast assembly expounding the Dharma (teachings). Also, visualize oneself serving and making offerings to each and every Tathagata, etc., as described above. At that time, in samadhi (meditative state), each and every body, speech, and mind should make this vow: 'May all the Tathagatas, vajra activities, and all the Bodhisattvas, with various activities and the light of Buddha wisdom, pour upon my head.' At that moment, visualize seeing the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas pouring down this light as an initiation. When the practitioner enters this contemplation, they will attain the unobstructed activity of Buddha wisdom and the light samadhi, capable of performing vast Buddha activities in the ten directions in a single thought and moment, as explained in detail in the extensive sutra. This sutra is brief, so it is described according to its meaning. It should be known that it is very difficult for those who enter this Dharma gate. If one dwells in the first direction and the other three directions, whichever one is increased, the other directions are inferior. If one enters the Tathagata (Thus Come One) family, it is completely fulfilled at once, and there is no superiority or inferiority. The verse says: 'According to one's pleasure, the four kinds of rituals eliminate those who increase, decrease, destroy the Dharma.' The sutra says: 'In the four directions, after performing the Dharma rituals as above, according to the practitioner's desire, even a great Bodhisattva may sit in the half-lotus position at will, etc.' The explanation says: This gate has four kinds of different Dharmas. Now, a broad selection is made. First, to eliminate disasters, it is said that practitioners who cultivate blessings are often obstructed by various evil ghosts and spirits, causing their merits and blessings to be destroyed and not accomplished. To vigorously establish them, both before and after, perform homa (fire offering) and other methods. The altar method is that the altar and furnace are both round, and the seat is also the same. The altar appearance is white, and the body dwells on a lotus seat. The mind is tranquil, reciting mantras. The firewood used is from trees that are more than half-grown, with a horizontal measurement of ten fingers or eight fingers, cut off evenly at the top. The wood used is from sweet fruit plum trees, Qiangwei Kadamba wood (unclear), etc. But any sweet fruit tree wood can be used for this purpose. There are fragrant flowers and white sandalwood ghee. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version 'Roasted barley flour, milk porridge, and cogon grass sprouts are used as fuel. The clothing is made of cogon grass. The appearance of the flame is such that it first appears as a red flame, then like gold, then like molten gold, or like a lamp light, changing color from time to time. It is also like the color of ghee, moist and glossy, or like braided ropes arranged in order. If these signs are present, know that all wishes sought through the ritual will be fulfilled. Furthermore, the appearance is that it emits a strong fragrance, the flame is blazing and silent, or the flame has layers upon layers like red gold, or the top of the flame is scattered like an umbrella. This is called the first sign.' 'Also, the sound is like the sound of a cow, or like the sound of a conch shell, thunder, and other sounds. Also, sounds that people like to hear. Other sounds and sights should be known as obstacles that prevent accomplishment. The second is the method of increasing benefits, which is when the practitioner achieves Samadhi (a state of meditative consciousness), develops wisdom. At that time, there are many internal obstacles, covered by afflictions, obscured by ignorance, and unable to progress in cultivation. Even after a long time of diligent and unceasing effort, the Buddha's Bodhi wisdom (the wisdom of enlightenment) will ultimately not be attained. Therefore, one should practice the Homa (fire offering) for increasing benefits. The altar and the stove should both be square and made yellow. Sit in the lotus position (a cross-legged sitting posture) on cogon grass (this sutra differs from sitting on a lotus seat), recite with a compassionate heart, and look around with joy. Wear clothing made of coarse hemp and perform the ritual. The wood used should be the fat branches from the center of a tree, like raw firewood. Ghee, milk, cheese, honey, as well as milk porridge, cheese rice, sesame, rice, and the three white foods (milk, cheese, and ghee), excellent yellow flowers, Dragon Flower incense, etc., fragrant valerian, cyperus, asparagus, and Vilva fruit, etc., are used as fuel for the Homa. The firewood should be twelve fingers long and cut evenly at the top. The stove should be one cubit deep and made square, and the width should be the same. Build four layers of edges and decorate with mud according to the Dharma. This is reciting the great vow of liberation and detachment. The signs of accomplishment are like the first good signs mentioned above. The third is the method of subduing, which means that the person practicing the path must have power and victory. If they are not subdued, it is difficult to turn the wheel of Dharma for those who love and take refuge in it. Therefore, one should practice this Homa method. The altar and the stove should both be square and made red. Kneel with both knees like a wise person sitting, or squat as described in the sutra with the buttocks not touching the ground. Wear red clothing. The mind should be uplifted and recite the mantra. The wood used should be a single tree that grows straight up from one tree, extending beyond the other branches without any horizontal branches. The horizontal measurement is ten.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

二指齐头截之。应用有乳汁者。谓桑谷之类又以乳酪苏蜜及三白食及七谷种子胡麻稻谷之属。用紫檀香赤色华苏合安悉薰陆等以充火用。其相如上。又说如上所不堪之木。树上干枯无皮。短曲瘦恶经剥皮者。或太长太粗曾被斧斫破有疮病者皆不堪用。若作第四法则得用之。又说如上火恶相者。其火气冷又无润色。火星迸出其焰如烟。或焰射入灰中。又出臭气或无烟焰。又焰和烬起复入于地。有是相者当知内外人鬼障碍。或是烦恼业等诸障不灭。得是相者当须改修作前初法。若作第四法得此相者是名成就。顺恶法故。第四破坏法者。或有人言诸佛菩萨具大慈悲。云何教诸众生作斯恶法。答诸佛菩萨说此法者。为智者说不为愚人。所以然者。佛灭度后多有恶人。恃大势力顺于邪道。不信正法破灭三宝住持之相。令诸众生失涅槃眼。悲哉可愍。以此法治菩萨之心。行此法者为利益故有大功德。审观无利起于恶心损害众生获大重罪。佛所制之不令辄作。若修三昧人远离愦闹心常寂静。观于三宝性相常住。住三昧处入佛境界。成就智用作大佛事。摧坏之法自然成就。其此法者坛炉俱黑。三角为之。所用香华皆悉臭黑。柴用棘刺屈曲之木。树根傍生无枝苦恶驼骡之粪以为烧香。炉土相和充为火食。白芥子油或用脂血以为灯明。用骨 现代汉语译本 截取两指的指尖部分。应用的材料应含有乳汁，例如桑树和构树等。另外，使用乳酪、酥油、蜂蜜以及三种白色食物（米、面、乳）和七种谷物种子，如胡麻、稻谷等。使用紫檀香、赤色华、苏合香、安息香、薰陆香等作为燃料。其燃烧的征相如前所述。又如前所述，不适合作为燃料的木材包括：树上干枯无皮的、短小弯曲瘦弱丑陋的、被剥过皮的、或者太长太粗、曾被斧头砍劈过、有疮病的，这些都不适合使用。如果修作第四种法则可以使用。又如前所述，火的不良征相包括：火气寒冷又没有光泽，火星四处飞溅，火焰像烟一样，或者火焰射入灰烬中，又发出臭气，或者没有烟焰，又或者火焰和灰烬一起升起又落入地下。出现这些征相，应当知道是内外的人或鬼在作祟，或者是烦恼业等各种障碍没有消除。得到这些征相，应当重新修作之前的初始方法。如果修作第四种法而出现这些征相，这被称为成就，因为顺应了恶法。第四种破坏法，或许有人会说，诸佛菩萨具有大慈大悲，为什么教导众生修作这种恶法？回答是，诸佛菩萨宣说这种法，是为有智慧的人说的，不是为愚笨的人说的。之所以这样说，是因为佛陀灭度后，会有很多恶人，依仗强大的势力，顺从邪道，不相信正法，破坏三宝住持的形象，使众生失去涅槃之眼。真是可悲可叹。用这种方法来调伏菩萨的心。行持这种法是为了利益众生，所以有很大的功德。审慎观察，如果没有利益反而生起恶心损害众生，就会获得极大的罪过。佛陀制定戒律，不允许随意修作。如果修习三昧的人，远离喧闹，内心常常寂静，观察三宝的性相常住不变，安住在三昧之处，进入佛的境界，成就智慧的作用，做广大的佛事，摧坏之法自然成就。这种法，坛和炉都是黑色的，做成三角形。所用的香和花都是臭秽发黑的。柴用带刺的、弯曲的木头，树根旁边生长的没有枝条的、味道苦涩的木头，以及骆驼或骡子的粪便作为烧香的材料。用炉土和各种材料混合在一起作为火食。用白芥子油，或者用油脂和血作为灯油。用骨头
