千手眼大悲心呪行法 1.37

1.37

「一心頂禮本師釋迦牟尼世尊。」（如前請中三寶諸位，皆須五體投地勤重致禮，禮佛想云：「能禮所禮性空寂，感應道交難思議，我此道場如帝珠，釋迦如來影現中，我身影現釋迦前，頭面接足歸命禮。」至禮阿彌陀云，即云「阿彌陀佛影現中云云。」禮法想云：「真空法性如虛空，常住法寶難思議，我身影現法寶前，一心如法歸命禮。」禮僧準上禮佛，但改為菩薩等，唯禮觀音云：「為求滅障接足禮。」此是懺悔主故。）

"With whole heart, I prostrate to the Original Teacher, Śākyamuni, the World-Honoured One." (As with the various positions of the triratna in the previous invitation, for all of them one must perform full prostrations with the five limbs touching the ground, paying homage with earnest reverence. When paying homage to the Buddha, visualize and say: "The one who bows and the one bowed to are by nature empty and tranquil; the mutual communion of stimulus and response is inconceivable. This bodhimaṇḍa of mine is like Indra's jewel-net, in which the Tathāgata Śākyamuni appears as a reflection; my own body appears as a reflection before Śākyamuni, as I touch my head and face to his feet and take refuge in homage." When reaching the prostration to Amitābha, one says: "...in which Amitābha Buddha appears as a reflection..." and so forth. When paying homage to the Dharma, visualize and say: "The true emptiness of the Dharma-nature is like empty space; the constantly abiding Dharma-jewel is inconceivable. My own body appears as a reflection before the Dharma-jewel, as with whole heart I take refuge in homage in accordance with the Dharma." Homage to the Saṅgha follows the homage to the Buddha above, merely changing [the name] to the Bodhisattva and so forth; only when paying homage to Avalokiteśvara does one say: "...touching feet in homage to seek the eradication of obstacles," because this is the master of kṣamā.)
