English version: If you encounter obstacles and difficulties, you should be especially cautious. You must never speak to others while walking, working, moving your hands, reciting orally, or while actually reciting and holding mantras. You must quickly complete the required number of recitations before doing anything else. When reciting, you must be within the boundary (referring to the boundary set up to protect the practice place), either kneeling or sitting. Once you start reciting, you must never leave the boundary. Moreover, within the altar, whether it lasts for one day, two days, or seven days, there must not be even a snap of the fingers' time of interruption in reciting the mantra, except during Buddha worship and meals. Often, some monks do not understand these taboos and violate them at will, acting arbitrarily, laughing and talking without restraint, entering and leaving without moderation, and eating without restraint, freely eating medicinal stones, fruits, and other foods, as well as eating the vegetarian meals offered to the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) and ghosts and spirits. Whether sitting, standing, or walking, they recite mantras orally, regardless of whether they are inside or outside the boundary. Their eyes and ears are not restrained, indulging in sights and sounds. Their body and mind do not observe moderation. This not only creates obstacles to their own practice but also causes the donors to suffer disasters instead. Even if the bad consequences do not appear immediately, there is absolutely no benefit, and the offerings of the believers are wasted in vain, without thinking of the suffering of hell. Alas, how pitiful! I hope everyone will think carefully and strictly abstain from these behaviors. The important thing is to understand the meaning of the teachings and to put them into practice. Recently, this situation has become more and more serious, and it is difficult to change. Those with knowledge should think about this issue calmly. Fifth, the Three Karmas Offering. To respectfully invite and express one's intentions, it is divided into seven aspects: first, the Three Karmas Offering; second, inviting the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha); third, praising the Three Jewels; fourth, performing rituals and holding mantras; fifth, worshiping the Buddha; sixth, repentance; and seventh, practicing the Way. Walking around the practice place, before entering the practice place, first have one person hold the mantra and establish a boundary to protect against obstacles and difficulties. After the boundary is established, then you can begin the ritual. First, the practitioner practices the Three Karmas Offering method (the method is as described in the *Lotus Sutra*). With all reverence, I respectfully pay homage to the eternally abiding Three Jewels (each time you bow, you should visualize the nature of the Three Jewels as vast and deep as the sea, without ability or place, ultimately equal, and all sentient beings enter this ocean of the Three Jewels together. After getting up, each kneels with one knee, holding the incense burner, with upright body and mind, and chants). Solemnly holding incense and flowers, I offer them according to the Dharma. May these incense and flowers be received by all Buddhas. May they fill the presence of all Buddhas, Dharma, and Sangha. May the gods, immortals, sun, moon, and stars be a platform of light, broadly performing Buddha deeds (visualize as usual). After the offering is completed, with all reverence and faith. Second, the practitioner invites the Three Jewels. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The Precious Method (Each person kneels with their right knee, holding incense burners in their hands. Each one focuses their mind to invite the deities into the Mandala, to attest to the efficacy of the mantra, and to emanate great light, illuminating their home country and its boundaries, in order to eliminate disasters. They should fix their gaze and keep in mind the image of the Three Jewels and the holy assembly as if they were present, entering the Mandala with unwavering focus. The leader chants:) With one heart, we reverently invite the Lord of Dharani, Shakyamuni Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha) (Each person invites three times, visualizing as usual). With one heart, we reverently invite Namo Past Salaraja Buddha (Salaraja Buddha).

With one heart, we reverently invite Namo the Pure Dharma Jewel of all secret words in the Dharani Treasury. With one heart, we reverently invite Namo Wrathful King Vajrapani Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Vajrapani Bodhisattva) (From the middle volume of the 'Scripture on the Accomplishment Ritual of the Holy Atavaka Vajra Youth Bodhisattva': At that time, Vajrapani Bodhisattva told the assembly, 'This Wrathful King possesses immeasurable majestic virtue and great supernatural power. He skillfully subdues the difficult to subdue, therefore he manifests various expedient means. This Bodhisattva arises from Samadhi. As soon as he is remembered, all ghosts and demons flee in all directions, all evil-minded beings will be destroyed, and all disasters will be eliminated.' The scripture says, 'This Wrathful King Bodhisattva is Vajrapani, the lord of the Mandala. Sincerely invite him, hoping for his descent'). With one heart, we reverently invite Namo Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva), Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Samantabhadra Bodhisattva), Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva), Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva Mahasattva (Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva).

With one heart, we reverently invite Namo Brahma, Shakra, and other Pure Abode Devas, the Four Guardian Kings protecting the world, and all the Deva assembly (From this point onwards, only laypeople prostrate; monks remain standing). With one heart, we reverently invite Namo the Sky-Traveling Deva assembly, the Nine Luminaries, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Twelve Palace Gods, and all the holy assembly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
