大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經蓮華胎藏菩提幢標幟普通真言藏廣大成就瑜伽 1.3

1.3

I bow my head to Vairocana Buddha,
Whose open, pure eyes are like blue lotuses.
Relying on the exposition of the Mahāvairocanasūtrarāja,
And the various rituals that support worship,
In order to accomplish the sequential mantra Dharma,
Just as stated therein, one shall swiftly attain accomplishment.
One who wishes to enter siddhi in this lifetime
Must never harbour any thought of disparaging or harming
The preceptor who imparts the precepts or fellow practitioners of pure conduct;
Must not perform acts with the mentality of an ignorant child;
And must not give rise to resentment toward the venerable deities.
As the Sūtra spoken by the World's Guide says:
Nothing harms great benefits more than anger;
A single thought of it completely burns away and destroys
The virtuous roots cultivated over koṭis of vast eons.
Therefore, one should earnestly and constantly abandon it.
The pure bodhicitta is like a wish-fulfilling jewel,
Capable of fulfilling all vows and extinguishing defilements.
Since the mindfulness of samādhi wisdom arises from this,
I now diligently protect it.
Furthermore, one should always be endowed with great loving-kindness and compassion,
As well as the immeasurable minds of sympathetic joy and equanimity.
Directly receiving the Dharma of illumination from the venerable one,
One observes and corresponds [with it] to effect accomplishment.
First, make obeisance to the venerable master of the transmission of initiation,
And report the practice of the mantras to be cultivated.
Once the wise one has received the master's permission,
Rely on a suitable place of the earth:
A secondary peak or rocky precipice of a wondrous mountain;
A pond everywhere adorned with water lilies and blue lotuses;
The banks of an islet in a great flowing river;
A place far removed from people and bustling noise;
Delightful trees with spreading branches and foliage,
Abounding in milky trees and auspicious grasses;
Or where the holy disciples of the Tathāgatas
Constantly wandered and dwelt in the past—
Monasteries, stūpas, āraṇyakas, or ancient hermits' chambers.
At a place pleasing to one's own mind,
Pitying sentient beings, draw the great maṇḍala.
Endowed with the power of pure wisdom, capable of patient endurance,
One earnestly purifies and repents all sins born of heedlessness that night,
So that they are removed.
With mental eye observing attentively and clearly,
Cast the five limbs to the ground in homage:
"I take refuge in the Rightly and Fully Awakened Ones of the ten directions,
All those of the three times endowed with the trikāya;
I take refuge in all Mahāyāna Dharmas;
I take refuge in the non-retrogressing assembly of bodhi;
I take refuge in all true words of illumination;
I take refuge in all esoteric mudrās.
With the pure actions of body, speech, and mind,
With immeasurable earnestness I pay reverent homage."
Prostrate three times, circumambulate three times, and chant praises;
When wishing to leave, likewise make three prostrations and praises.
