English version Taisho Tripitaka Volume 46, No. 1951, The Ritual of Recitation in the Shrine of Flaming Light No. 1951 Preface to the Supplement to the Ritual of Recitation in the Shrine of Flaming Light Compiled by Shramana Lingjian of Yun Jian during the Song Dynasty During the Song Dynasty, the Indian Dharma Master, Venerable Ciyun, demonstrated the teachings of light and passed away at the Tianzhu Shrine in Qiantang. His disciple, Lingjian, recognizing the Dharma Master's virtuous influence on the world and the transmission of Samadhi practices to future generations, aimed to propagate the four types of Samadhi through these writings. The flourishing of these practices should be recorded. Therefore, he collected the master's remaining works. Only 'The Ritual of Recitation in the Shrine of Flaming Light' had not been widely circulated. Consequently, he supplemented it with various texts to complete it. He added two sections to the original five chapters ('Instructions on Methods' and 'Resolving Doubts'). The 'Instructions on Methods' are taken from the original scripture, providing a basis for practitioners. 'Resolving Doubts' caters to both monastic and lay practitioners, using both Chinese and Sanskrit. As for the layout of the shrine and its rituals, the current imperial dynasty's Tripitaka translator-minister has already published detailed illustrations, so they will not be elaborated upon here. The rest follows the old texts, not forgetting the original source. The Ritual of Recitation in the Shrine of Flaming Light Composed by Shramana Zunshi of Tianzhu Temple, who transmitted the Tiantai teachings and contemplations, during the Song Dynasty The key to establishing a Dharma ritual lies in ensuring that it is centered on the 'main' focus. If there is only one destination for truth, why argue? Unless the transmitter is unworthy, turning nectar into poison. The 'Flaming Light Great Majestic Virtue Dharani' is a miraculous method specially revealed by the Great Sage out of compassion. Although the wording may vary slightly, the merit of reciting it is immeasurable. Concentrated, temporary recitation immediately shows results, so why say more? First, setting up the altar for offerings has three meanings in itself. First, to indicate a pure place. The scripture only says 'in a pure place', without specifically indicating the direction. It also says 'in the country, in the home, and in the field'. If one must find a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle, and seek a separate pure place, then if a disaster occurs in a family, and the poor people's houses are only a few square meters, and the room is only one zhang square, surrounded by neighbors, far from the monastery, must they also specifically seek a pure place? If not, can they only sit and wait for disaster to strike? Logically, it is definitely not so. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

今作二意若贫者只于所住选于胜处。便于净地安立道场(若大悲经中。用刀咒二十一遍。画地为界。或想到处为界。若灾难变缘急准此。便可持诵)。   若国王大臣及豪富者。选取上处避喧远秽。迥绝之室及先非秽染。或新立堂宇最为第一。若苾刍精舍亦选可知。当于其处作诵咒场。   二立道场法。若国王臣庶并须预空其屋。净洁扫洒香泥涂地。随看广狭而安道场。于香坛上正面安释迦像。以曼殊普贤观音等像从之。四方安护世四天王像。坛中佛前安忿怒明王像(圣捺迦忿怒金刚童子菩萨成就轨仪经上卷。金刚藏菩萨云。画菩萨法。取白㲲用牛尿洗。复用香水濯之。于闲静处。对佛前舍利塔。不应用皮胶和彩色。画笔色盏须新者。画匠澡浴着净衣受八斋戒。勿吐气以冲其像。亦不与画人论其价直。其像独身从海涌出。如吠琉璃色。身有六臂。臂膊𦟛停相貌充满。面有三目。其目赤色。首戴宝冠。狗牙上出口咬下唇。颦眉威怒。又于海中画一宝山。像以左足踏于宝山。山上有妙莲华。以承其足。右足在海水中立没其半膝。右第一手持金刚杵作掷势。第二手持母婆罗棒。谓棒一头如铁杵形。第三手执钺斧。左第一手把棒。第二手如拟势。作金刚拳舒头指。第三手持剑。以大蛇于身角络系。又以一切毒蛇。膊钏 现代汉语译本:现在来说说设立道场的两种方式。如果条件有限,只能在所居住的地方选择一个比较好的地方,在干净的地面上设立道场(如果情况紧急,可以参考《大悲经》中的方法,用刀咒语二十一遍,划地为界,或者意念所到之处即为界限,然后就可以开始持诵)。 如果是国王、大臣或者富豪,就应该选择一个远离喧嚣和污秽的上佳场所,最好是完全隔绝的房间,或者之前没有被污染过的地方。新建的殿宇是最好的选择。如果是比丘的精舍,也应该选择合适的地方。在这些地方设置诵咒的场所。 第二是设立道场的方法。无论是国王还是普通百姓,都必须事先清空房屋,打扫干净,用香泥涂抹地面,根据房屋的大小来安排道场。在香坛的正面安放释迦牟尼佛像,用文殊菩萨、普贤菩萨、观音菩萨等像来陪衬。四方安放护世四天王像。坛中佛像前安放忿怒明王像(参考《圣捺迦忿怒金刚童子菩萨成就轨仪经》上卷。金刚藏菩萨说,绘制菩萨像的方法是:取白色细布,用牛尿清洗,再用香水洗涤。在安静的地方,面对佛前的舍利塔。不要使用皮胶来调和颜料。画笔和颜料碟必须是新的。画匠要沐浴,穿干净的衣服,受持八斋戒。不要对着画像呼气,也不要和画匠讨论价格。画像是忿怒明王独自从海中涌出,颜色像吠琉璃。身体有六只手臂,臂膀圆润饱满,相貌庄严。面有三只眼睛,眼睛是红色的。头上戴着宝冠。狗牙向上露出,咬住下唇。皱着眉头,显得威严愤怒。又在海中画一座宝山。忿怒明王用左脚踩在宝山上,山上有美妙的莲花,用来承托他的脚。右脚在海水中,没到一半膝盖。右边的第一只手拿着金刚杵,做投掷的姿势。第二只手拿着母婆罗棒,这种棒的一头像铁杵的形状。第三只手拿着钺斧。左边的第一只手拿着棒。第二只手做出拟定的姿势,握着金刚拳,伸出头指。第三只手拿着剑。用大蛇在身上缠绕系结,又用各种毒蛇做成臂钏。

English version: Now, let's talk about the two ways to establish a Mandala. If resources are limited, one should choose a superior location within their residence and establish the Mandala on clean ground (in urgent situations, one can refer to the 'Great Compassion Sutra,' using a knife to chant a mantra twenty-one times, defining the boundary by drawing a line, or mentally designating the boundary wherever the mind reaches, and then begin recitation). If one is a king, minister, or wealthy person, they should select a superior place away from noise and defilement, preferably a completely isolated room, or a place that has not been previously contaminated. A newly built hall is the best choice. If it is a Bhikkhu's monastery, a suitable place should also be selected. In these places, a site for chanting mantras should be established. The second is the method of establishing the Mandala. Whether it is a king or an ordinary person, they must first empty the house, clean it thoroughly, and apply fragrant mud to the ground, arranging the Mandala according to the size of the house. Place a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha on the front of the incense altar, accompanied by statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, etc. Place statues of the Four Heavenly Kings who protect the world in the four directions. Place a statue of the Wrathful Vidyaraja (Achala) in front of the Buddha statue in the center of the altar (refer to the upper volume of the 'Scripture on the Accomplishment Ritual of the Holy Atavaka Wrathful Vajra Youth Bodhisattva'). Vajragarbha Bodhisattva said that the method of drawing a Bodhisattva image is as follows: Take white fine cloth, wash it with cow urine, and then wash it with fragrant water. In a quiet place, facing the Sharira Stupa in front of the Buddha. Do not use hide glue to mix the colors. The brushes and paint dishes must be new. The painter must bathe, wear clean clothes, and observe the eight precepts. Do not breathe on the image, and do not discuss the price with the painter. The image is of the Wrathful Vidyaraja emerging alone from the sea, with a color like lapis lazuli. The body has six arms, the arms are round and full, and the appearance is dignified. The face has three eyes, and the eyes are red. The head wears a jeweled crown. The canine teeth are exposed upwards, biting the lower lip. Frowning, appearing majestic and angry. Also, draw a jeweled mountain in the sea. The Wrathful Vidyaraja steps on the jeweled mountain with his left foot, and there is a beautiful lotus flower on the mountain to support his foot. The right foot is in the sea water, submerged to half the knee. The first right hand holds a Vajra and makes a throwing gesture. The second hand holds a Matrka club, which has a shape like an iron pestle at one end. The third hand holds a Yue axe. The first left hand holds a club. The second hand makes a designated gesture, holding a Vajra fist and extending the index finger. The third hand holds a sword. A large snake is wrapped around the body and tied, and various poisonous snakes are made into armlets. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
