金光明懺法補助儀 1.38

1.38

今我道場敷設供養，然種種燈，燒種種香，奉種種飲食，淨潔如法，恭持奉供諸佛世尊、大乘經典、菩薩賢聖、一切三寶。又復別具香華、飲食，奉獻功德大天、大辯四王、梵釋天龍八部聖眾。復持飲食，散擲餘方，施諸神等。唯願三寶天仙，憐愍於我及諸眾生，受此供養。以金光明力及諸佛威神，於一念間，顯現十方一切佛剎，如雲遍滿，如雨溥洽，廣作佛事，等熏眾生，發菩提心，同圓種智。（此亦應隨意所陳，未必專誦此語。作是語已，當持飲食至道場外淨處，布散四方，先作是言：）我今依教，供養大乘三寶及吉祥大天，持此種種飲食，散灑諸方，遍施諸神，願諸神明威權自在，一念普集，各受法食，充足無乏，身力勇銳，守護堅強，知我所求，願當相與，迴此福利，普潤含生，果報自然，常受勝樂。（作是呪願竟，即便以食散擲四方，想無量鬼神悉來受食。爾時，或誦前呪，或但云「南無室利摩訶提鼻耶」，以食盡為度。）

“Now in my bodhimaṇḍa, offerings are arranged: lighting various lamps, burning various incenses, and offering various foods and drinks, pure and according to the Dharma, reverently held and offered to all Buddhas and World-Honoured Ones, the Mahāyāna scriptures, the bodhisattvas and holy sages, and the entire Triratna. Furthermore, separate incense, flowers, foods, and drinks are prepared and presented to Guṇadevī, Sarasvatī, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the assembly of sages including the Brahmās, Śakras, devas, dragons, and the eight classes of beings. Furthermore, holding foods and drinks, we scatter and toss them in the other directions to give to all spirits and deities. We only pray that the Triratna, devas, and immortals will have compassion for me and all sentient beings, and receive these offerings. Through the power of the Golden Light and the awe-inspiring spiritual power of all Buddhas, in a single thought-moment may they appear throughout all Buddha-lands of the ten directions, pervading like clouds, moistening everywhere like rain, vastly performing Buddha-activities, equally perfuming sentient beings so that they generate the bodhicitta and together consummate the knowledge of all modes.” (These words may also be stated at will, and one need not exclusively recite this formula. Having spoken these words, one should take the foods and drinks to a clean place outside the bodhimaṇḍa and distribute and scatter them in the four directions, first speaking these words:) “Relying now on the teachings, I make offerings to the Mahāyāna Triratna and Mahāśrī; holding these various foods and drinks, I scatter and sprinkle them in all directions and bestow them everywhere upon all deities. May all spirits and deities have sovereign authority and power, gathering universally in a single thought-moment, each receiving the Dharma-food, fully satisfied without lack, vigorous and resolute in physical strength, resolute and strong in protection; knowing what I seek, may they grant it to me, dedicating this blessed benefit to moisten all living beings everywhere, so that karmic results arise naturally and they constantly enjoy supreme bliss.” (Having finished making this incantation and vow, one immediately scatters and tosses the food in the four directions, visualizing that limitless ghosts and spirits all come to receive the food. At that time, one may either recite the previous dhāraṇī or simply say “Namo Śrī Mahādevīye,” continuing until the food is exhausted.)
