Bodhicakra Secret Mudrā and Dhvaja Maṇḍala Chapter, Part Two

"In the north is the Lord Kṣitigarbha! His seat is extremely skillful and ornate,
His body dwells in the womb of flames, upon the ground adorned with variegated jewels,
Interlaced and alternating with one another; the four jewels form a lotus,
Where the noble one abides, indestructible as vajra,
In the samādhi of the sphere of practice, together with his greatly renowned,
Immeasurable retinue: Sūryaprabha Bodhisattva!
Dṛḍhādhyāśaya Bodhisattva! Together with Dharaṇīṃdhara Bodhisattva!
Ratnapāṇi Bodhisattva and others! Ratnaprabha Bodhisattva!
Ratnamudrāhasta Bodhisattva! Amoghadarśin Bodhisattva!
Dispeller of all gloom and darkness! With the secret inner clasp,
Extending and opening the fire element fingers. To the right observe the noble Ratnapriya,
With the prajñā fist extending three fingers, above the jewel is the three-prong mudrā.
Ratnapāṇi, above the jewel, has a single-prong vajra mudrā,
With the prajñā fist extending the water element finger. Dharaṇīṃdhara, on the jewel to the right,
Forms with both hands the vajra mudrā. Ratnamudrāhasta, above the jewel,
Forms the five-prong vajra mudrā. Dṛḍhādhyāśaya, to the right of the jewel,
Forms the karmavajra mudrā, joining all the fingers in the previous mudrā."

On a circular, white, mind-delighting altar, upon the great white lotus king,
Holding the mudrā of the great wisdom sword; such a hard and sharp blade,

"Furthermore, Guhyakādhipati! I shall now explain the second maṇḍala.
It has an exact four-sided square form, surrounded by vajra seals,
All of wondrous golden hue, with a lotus stalk at the inner heart.
On the terrace appears a kalaśa, its radiant color like a pure moon,
Likewise with a great anusvāra, encircling and self-adorning.
Above, it displays the great wind seal, dense like dark clouds,
In the likeness of fluttering banners and pennants, with an anusvāra as its emblem.
Above it arises a fierce flame, identical to the fire of the kalpa’s disaster,
Forming a triangle, encircled by a triangle.
A garland of light pervades all around, the color of the morning sun's radiance.
Within it is a padma, crimson and dark like the kalpa fire.
Above it is the vajra seal, scattering and emitting blazing radiance,
Sustained with the sound of the syllable 'Hūṃ', the supreme, wondrous seed syllable.
The past Buddhas declared this to be your maṇḍala of vigorous zeal,
The host of wrathful Vajradharas! Next, arrayed primarily in the east,
Is the arising vajra division! Vajrāṅkuśa Bodhisattva!
Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva! Vajrasattva Bodhisattva (the fourth assembly)!
Vajrāgradhara Bodhisattva! Vajramuṣṭi Bodhisattva!
Wrathful Candratilaka Bodhisattva! Vimalavajradhara!
Vajradṛḍhadhara Bodhisattva! Wrathful Vajradhara!
Anantavikrama Bodhisattva! Vajrasphoṭa Bodhisattva!
Vajradhara Bodhisattva! Nirprapañcasthita Bodhisattva!
Vajracakradhara Bodhisattva! Vajratīkṣṇa Bodhisattva!
Prītisukhavajradhara! Vajradaṃṣṭra Bodhisattva!
Prapañcavipramukta Bodhisattva! Vicitravajradhara Bodhisattva!
Vajratīkṣṇadhara Bodhisattva! Māmakī, the mother of the division!
She also holds a firm-wisdom pestle (three-pronged), adorning her body with necklaces.
To her right is Vajrasūci! Attendants surround her,
Smiling subtly and looking up in reverence. Like a pestle of firm and sharp wisdom,
Make an inner fist and extend the wind element finger (the thumb inserted), placing Śaṅkara on the left.
Vajrasphoṭadhara! Accompanying the messengers of his own division,
His body light yellow, with a wisdom pestle as his emblem,
Crossing the backs of the four fingers, rotating wisdom added to samādhi,
Placed below the Vajradharas. The wrathful Trailokyavijaya!
Subduer of Great Obstacles, named the Venerable Candratilaka!
Displaying three eyes and four fangs, colored like summer rain clouds,
With a laughing roar of 'Aṭaṭa'. Adorned with vajra-jeweled necklaces,
For the sake of gathering and protecting sentient beings, surrounded by immeasurable multitudes;
Even up to hundreds of thousands of hands, brandishing manifold implements.
Such wrathful deities and others all abide within lotuses,
Opening the two thumbs to hold the wind fingers, (following the five-pronged seal, slightly falling short. All Vajradharas hold the ground!)
All Vajramuṣṭis bound internally. (The two thumbs standing erect together, the two elbows close to each other, raised slightly high to resemble the shape of a pestle.)
Wrathful Kuṇḍalī! Lustrous like blue crystal,
Majestic brilliance like the kalpa fire, splendidly backing the moon disc,
With knitted brows and a smiling yet wrathful countenance, tiger fangs shown above and below,
A thousand unblinking eyes, majestic radiance all like the sun,
A thousand hands each holding their various vajra implements.
A vajra-jewel adorns his head! A dragon necklace and tiger-skin skirt,
Within the moon disc, seated calmly upon a flat boulder.
Wrathful, swift Kumāra! His body abides in golden color,
His hair also disheveled upwards, necklaces and armlets adorning his body.
Abiding upon a blue lotus, a tiger-skin used as a garment.
The wisdom pestle and samādhi fearlessness! As soon as he holds the mantra,
Transformation Buddhas emerge from his mouth. Next is Ucchuṣma!
Assuming a great wrathful form, black in color with rising blazing radiance.
A sword in the right hand and a lasso below, upholding a three-pronged spear,
All his implements blazing with fire. The Vajradharas obedient to commands and so forth!
With leaders such as these, numbering like the dust motes of ten Buddha fields,
Together with the assemblies of Vajradharas. Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva!

The wind wheel combined with fire. Relying on the Nairṛti direction,
Beneath Mahāvairocana Tathāgata is Acala, messenger of the Tathāgata.
Holding the lasso of wisdom's power, hair from his crown hanging over his left shoulder,
Gazing intently with one eye, his wrathful body fiercely blazing,
Abiding calmly upon a flat boulder, his mouth showing water-wave ripples,
Full of the form of a youth, with the seal of the blazing fire realm.
The wrathful venerable one of the wind direction! Namely Trailokyavijaya!
Surrounded by fierce flames. Wearing a jeweled crown and holding a vajra (five-pronged)!
Disregarding his own life, exclusively requesting and receiving the teaching.
Placed to the right of Prajñā is the wrathful king Yamāntaka!
Seated riding a blue water buffalo, holding manifold implements,

with thumbs placed side by side at the heart. For the Nine Planets: join the two hands,
and extend both thumbs side by side. Brahmā holds a red lotus (following the Moon mudrā),
with the samādhi thumb touching the ring finger. For the Vidyārājñī: place the index finger over the middle finger,
and hold the middle joint of the ring finger with the thumb. The secret mudrā of the gandharvas:
form an inner clasp and extend the ring finger. For the asuras: using the jñāna hand,
wind the index finger around the thumb (samādhi is as for Sarasvatī and the devas; if making an action mudrā, it may also be done with a single hand)."

2.242

At that time, the Bhagavat addressed Vajrapāṇi, saying:
"There is an omnipresent, profoundly deep and secret Dharma-gate;
For those who abide in this syllable-gate, ritual actions are swiftly accomplished.
With the jeweled crown and raising hand mudrā, deploy the wheel upon the actions of the body,
From the eyebrow center, throat, heart, and navel, with syllables from 'A' to 'Svāhā'.
Revolving to the right and connecting in succession, the fruit of initial practice is quiescence;
Upāya pervades all places, and like radiant flames outside the body,
The twelve syllables beginning with 'I' are scattered and deployed on the exterior."

Mindful of future sentient beings, in order to sever all doubts, he spoke the King of Great Mantras (The oral transmission on the mudrā may be inquired of the ācārya):

2.270

The Golden Words of the Mantra of Mahāvairocana Subduing the Four Māras, Liberating from the Six Destinies, and Fulfilling Sarvajñajñāna:

2.272

At that time, the World-Honoured One Vairocana again surveyed the great assembly and addressed the Vajradhara Guhyakādhipati, saying: "Son of the Buddha, there are eight secret mudrās that are most secret. They share the majesty and spiritual power of the stations of the noble devas, take the path of their own mantras as their dhvajas, and depict their full maṇḍala in accordance with the iṣṭadevatā. If one practices the bodhisattva conduct in the mantra-gate according to the Dharma teachings, bodhisattvas should know this: abide firmly and immovably with one's own body in the form of the iṣṭadevatā; having known the abiding of the iṣṭadevatā, attain siddhi just as the iṣṭadevatā. What are the eight mudrās?

2.273

"Ratnaketu has the color of sunlight, triangular and endowed with radiance;
Join the lotuses and spread the earth and wind [fingers], blossoming in pure golden color.
The syllable Vaṃ has vajra-radiance, with the wind element finger bent into the thumb.
Amida is of true golden color, surrounded by a moon-disc and lotuses,
A blossoming wondrous lotus. The maṇḍala of Dundubhisvara
Is a half-moon encircled by an anusvāra, with both earth [fingers] entering the full moon.
Samantabhadra's maṇḍala is a full moon surrounded by vajras,
With a lotus and the two thumbs erected. Avalokiteśvara is of crystal color,
With a rainbow-colored vajra banner, bending the fire element finger as before,
Interlocking like hooks at the back. Mañjuśrī is saffron-colored,
Surrounded by multi-colored space, the blue lotus opening the fire element finger.
Maitreya is of golden color, using space with the bīja-anusvāra,
Rotating the vajra-palms (the palms touching each other)."

The All-Reaching Mantra (Vajrāñjali may be used):

2.292

Immediately abiding in the Jñānasaṃbhava Samādhi, he spoke the Mantra of Hundred-Light Universal Illumination, which gives birth to various skillful wisdoms (Join the vajra-palms, extend the arms above the crown of the head, and occasionally shake them. There is also an ācārya […], which has a secret sign that may be transmitted orally):

2.294

Wishing to deploy the King of a Hundred Lights, the syllable 'Aṃ' is in the center. Next deploy a wheel of twelve, from 'I' etc. to 'U, Au'; the second [wheel] contains the twenty-five syllables beginning with 'Ka'; the third wheel contains the twenty-five syllables beginning with 'Kā' (lengthened); the fourth contains the twenty-fifth beginning with 'Kaṃ'. Deploy them revolving to the right and connecting in succession, empower twenty-one times, and place the coiled beads on the crown of the head within the palms.

2.295

"The index fingers bend at the upper joints. Vajrapāṇi questioned:
'For the bodhisattva of mantra practice, after practicing for how many months
Are the prohibitive vows brought to completion?' The Bhagavat replied:
'Excellent, O valiant one! The sublime vows of the world,
Expounded by the ancient Buddhas, are vows arisen from vidyā;
Abiding in the vows is like the Sambuddha. In order to bring about siddhi
And for the benefit of the world, arouse self-authenticity with equanimity;
Without generating thoughts of doubt, ever abide in samāhita,
And practice until the vows are completed. Bodhicitta and Dharma,
As well as the cultivation and karmic fruition of enlightenment, merge into a single characteristic,
Far removed from all contrivances; endowed with vows like the Buddha's wisdom,
Differing from this, one is not fully endowed with vows. Attaining sovereignty over all dharmas,
Thoroughly penetrating and benefiting sentient beings, ever cultivate unattached practice,
Treating pebbles and gravel the same as myriad jewels, up to completing a lakṣa [of recitations].
The mantra teachings that have been expounded conclude according to the months and seasons,
And the measure of prohibitive vows is brought to completion. First is the golden wheel contemplation:
Abide in the great Indra [maṇḍala] and contemplate the syllable 'A';
One should form the vajra mudrā and drink milk to nourish the body.
When the practitioner completes one month, he can regulate the incoming and outgoing breaths.
Next, in the second month, arrange properly within the water wheel,
The surrounding wheel forming nine tiers, the color of autumn evening moonlight;
One should use the lotus mudrā and drink pure, unadulterated water.
Next, in the third month, through the supreme fire wheel contemplation,
Eat food that has not been sought; then with the great prajñā sword,
Burn away all sins, thereby giving birth to body, mind, and speech.
In the fourth month, with the wind wheel, the practitioner regularly ingests wind,
Forms the dharmacakra-pravartana mudrā, and concentrates the mind in recitation.
Contemplating the vajra-water wheel, abiding in yoga,
This is the fifth month. Transcending attainment and non-attainment,
The practitioner has no attachment, being equal to sambodhi.
Harmonizing the wind and fire wheels, going beyond all faults,
Recite for another month, also abandoning gain and non-gain.
The assemblies of devas such as Brahmā and Śakra, the mahoragas, and piśācas
Shall stand at a distance and pay reverent homage, all acting as protectors.
They will all receive and obey commands; he will constantly obtain this:
The spirits of medicinal herbs of humans and devas, and the vidyādharas and spiritual ṛṣis
Shall attend him on his left and right, complying with what he commands.
Those who do evil and create hindrances—the rākṣasas, seven mothers, and the like—
Upon seeing the mantra-holder, will pay homage from afar and depart;
Wherever they see radiance, they will flee and scatter like fierce fire.
Whatever ritual teachings are performed, because they are based on the vidyā-discipline,
The true sons of the Sambuddha attain all sovereignty.
Subduing those difficult to tame, like the great Vajradhara;
Benefiting the multitude of living beings, identical with Avalokiteśvara!
After six months have passed, the fruition is accomplished in accordance with one's wishes;
One should always, toward oneself and others, protect with compassion.
Hold the rosary against the heart; the remainder is as in the Susiddhi.
For each and every mantra, perform mental recitation;
The incoming and outgoing breaths are two; the first constantly corresponds.
Deploy the syllable 'A' upon the limbs, reciting to the full three lakṣas;
Samantabhadra, Mañjuśrī, and the Vajradhara noble devas
Will appear before you and stroke your crown: the practitioner bows in homage
And swiftly offers argha water. With mentally created fragrant flower garlands,
One immediately attains bodily purity. When the portion of recitation is finished,
Place the rosary back in its original position. Only then enter samādhi;
At mealtime, emerge from absorption. Again form the root mudrā,
And having recited the mantra seven times, present the Gaganalocanā [mudrā].
Offer incense, flowers, and the like, with pleasing and wondrous gāthās,
Argha, and making vows. Speak the empowerment of the World-Saviour,
Causing the path of the Dharma-eye to pervade, abiding everywhere for a long time;
One should join the vajra-palms and, following the vidyā, touch the body throughout."

2.296

The Mantra of the Words of Empowerment:

2.298

"Difficult to endure is the great guardian! Untie the great boundary to the left.
Again present the samaya [mudrā], and unbind it on the crown of the head.
Mentally send off the noble devas, bowing with the five limbs cast to the ground.
One should announce to the multitude of noble ones: 'Present Tathāgatas
And world-saving bodhisattvas who do not sever the Mahāyāna teaching,
Those who have reached the supreme stage—we only pray that the host of noble devas
Will decisively bear witness to me; may each depart in peace as appropriate,
And later deign to return with compassion.'"

2.299

The Mantra:

2.301

"Protect with the three secrets as before; perform repentance, anumodanā, and so on;
Contemplate the bodhicitta and abide in the Sattva body.
Empowered by noble power, because practice and vows correspond,
The vidyādhara transmits the fundamental teaching without transgressing the samaya;
Practicing in accord with the training rules, siddhi will appear before him.
Relying on Mahāvairocana's teaching, I have revealed the yogin's practice;
Cultivating and realizing sublime merit, may it universally benefit all sentient beings."
