t46n1952 avalokitesvara bodhisattva cintamanicakra mantra practice method.g2.0f

English

English version Bodhisattvas cultivate and realize all dharmas (all things and phenomena). Therefore, they can manifest in various ways (show themselves universally). Although the dharmas are different, they are the same in emptiness (in the sky). If there is only difference and no sameness, the principle of interaction will be lost; if there is only sameness and no difference, the fact of interaction will be lost. Losing the principle is like ice and charcoal cannot be combined; losing the fact is like the echo in the valley cannot be summoned. When both principle and fact are complete, interaction can be achieved. Furthermore, it is necessary to know the doctrine of the Three Truths (emptiness, provisional existence, and the middle way), which is the meaning explained by the Bright Mantra. Therefore, Yijing (a Tang Dynasty monk) translated it as 'Unobstructed Avalokiteśvara Cintamani Chakra King Dharani'. The so-called 'unobstructed' means that the Bodhisattva possesses the wisdom of the Three Truths and has no obstacles of the three confusions. 'Avalokiteśvara' means that the Bodhisattva uses this wisdom to observe sentient beings and attains freedom. This is probably naming the mantra after the person who can speak it. The lotus (lotus flower) grows with fruit, which is a metaphor for the Dharmakaya virtue (the merits possessed by the true body of the Buddha) being originally complete. Cintamani (wish-fulfilling jewel) is a precious pearl. The scriptures say: 'Rain down wonderful treasures like the wish-fulfilling tree.' The Cintamani jewel is a metaphor for the liberation virtue (the merit of being liberated from bondage) that can generate all dharmas. The Chakra (treasure wheel) has the power to subdue, which is a metaphor for the Prajna virtue (the merit of wisdom) that can break all dharmas. The lotus flower emerges from the water, away from defilement and pure, which is a metaphor for Prajna. Its fragrant calyx is a metaphor for liberation. The essence of the jewel is originally round, which is a metaphor for Dharmakaya. Its color is crystal clear, which is a metaphor for Prajna. The essence of the wheel is precious, like Dharmakaya. Its function is rotating, like liberation. These three (lotus, Cintamani jewel, treasure wheel) each have three meanings, used to metaphor the three virtues (Dharmakaya virtue, liberation virtue, Prajna virtue). Mentioning one includes the three, saying three is the same as one. Because it explains this meaning, it encompasses all dharmas and transcends everything, so it is called 'King'. It prevents the evil of the nine realms and maintains the good of the Buddha realm, so it is called Dharani (total retention). Furthermore, Siksananda (a Tang Dynasty translator) translated it as 'Secret Treasury Divine Mantra'. If it were not the dharma of the Three Virtues and Three Truths, how could it bear this name? The Bodhisattva's self-cultivation is only in emptiness, while teaching others starts from provisional existence to adapt to things. Sentient beings receive teaching in provisional existence, and the ultimate teaching is only emptiness. Therefore, the Awakening of Faith (Mahayana Awakening of Faith) says: 'If one is separated from karmic consciousness, there will be no seeing appearance.' Because the Dharmakayas of all Buddhas do not have each other's forms seeing each other. Briefly analyzing it is like this. If you want to know the state of practice in detail, you should look for the Yuquan Samatha-vipassana (a Tiantai school work). Third, Praises and Adoration: With all reverence and wholehearted devotion, I bow to the eternally abiding Three Jewels of the ten directions (After bowing, kneeling with the incense burner and burning incense). Now, according to the Dharma, I respectfully hold incense and flowers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Offering to all Buddhas and World-Honored Ones in the boundless Dharma realms of the ten directions, the twelve divisions of scriptures, and the holy assembly of the Three Vehicles. (Holding the incense burner and flowers, visualizing the offering, then scattering the flowers, and saying again) Offering completed, with utmost reverence. (Rise, bow once, and with a bent body, praise) Within the Tathāgatagarbha (Tathāgatagarbha), there is a true Dharma treasure, which, according to the nature of sentient beings, is felt and becomes accessible. The greatly compassionate Bodhisattva, the holy Avalokiteśvara (Avalokiteśvara), speaks the luminous mantra, named Cintamanicakra (Cintamanicakra), which can completely eliminate immeasurable suffering and can also accomplish all that is sought. Therefore, Śākyamuni (Śākyamuni) earnestly praises the many dhāraṇīs (dhāraṇī), which are non-active and equal. (State intention) With one mind, I prostrate before the original teacher, the World-Honored Śākyamuni (Śākyamuni). With one mind, I prostrate before the World-Honored Amitābha (Amitābha) of the Land of Ultimate Bliss. With one mind, I prostrate before all the Buddhas and World-Honored Ones in the Dharma realms of the ten directions. With one mind, I prostrate before the Anantāraya-Cintamanicakra-rāja-dhāraṇī (Anantāraya-Cintamanicakra-rāja-dhāraṇī). With one mind, I prostrate before the twelve divisions of scriptures in the Dharma realms of the ten directions. With one mind, I prostrate before Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Mahāsattva). With one mind, I prostrate before Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva Mahāsattva). With one mind, I prostrate before the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel King and all the great Bodhisattvas Mahāsattvas. With one mind, I prostrate before the holy assembly of the Three Vehicles in the Dharma realms of the ten directions. In the fourth section of the recitation, the sutra says: Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva (Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva) said to the Buddha: 'World-Honored One, I now have a great dhāraṇī mantra, called the Anantāraya-Avalokiteśvara-Cintamanicakra-rāja (Anantāraya-Avalokiteśvara-Cintamanicakra-rāja). It is the foremost and rare, capable of enriching all sought-after matters according to one's heart's desire, and all can be accomplished. World-Honored One, with great compassion, please listen to me, I shall, relying on the Buddha's power, bestow it upon sentient beings.' Thereupon, the World-Honored One praised the Bodhisattva, saying: 'So it is, so it is, you are able to have compassion for all sentient beings, I will add my protection to you.' The Bodhisattva, having received the Buddha's permission, with a heart full of compassionate vows, then spoke the mantra before the Buddha: Namo Buddhāya (Namo Buddhāya), Namo Dharmāya (Namo Dharmāya), Namo Saṃghāya (Namo Saṃghāya), Namo Avalokiteśvarāya Bodhisattvāya Mahāsattvāya Mahākāruṇikāya (Namo Avalokiteśvarāya Bodhisattvāya Mahāsattvāya Mahākāruṇikāya), 怛 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
