仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經陀羅尼念誦儀軌 1.69

1.69

If a practitioner is able to cultivate yogic contemplative wisdom regarding this Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, then for all the letters in this dhāraṇī from beginning to end, contemplating and visualizing each phrase and each letter, visualize a golden wheel upon the pure, perfectly luminous great perfect mirror within their own heart: the first outer tier has sixteen spokes, on which one visualizes the sixteen phrases clearly manifesting in clockwise order; the second tier has twelve spokes, on which one visualizes the twelve syllables arranged turning clockwise; the third tier arranges ten syllables, and among the ten syllables there is one syllable "dhi". The meaning here is that the preceding prose passages up to the Great Prajñā of the various assemblies are condensed into sixteen phrases, the sixteen phrases are condensed into twelve syllables, the twelve syllables are condensed into their ten syllables, and those ten syllables are gathered into one single syllable, progressing from extensive to condensed, gradually diminishing and deepening. When the single syllable appears before one, it pervades the dharmadhātu, because its nature and characteristics are equal up to the ultimate. Thus the practitioner visualizes all the Sanskrit syllables clearly and distinctly, cycling through again and again. If the mind is focused upon the sequential curves of the letters and does not fixate on other conditions, this constitutes the factor of concentration (śamatha); when contemplating the principle signified, this constitutes the factor of wisdom (vipaśyanā). When both dharmas are practiced jointly and manifest effortlessly, penetrating without obstruction, in every thought-moment eradicating all karmic obscurations, retributive obscurations, and afflictive obscurations, both body and mind undergo transformation of the basis (āśrayaparavṛtti) and attain mastery; obtaining all supernormal powers, one reaches the ultimate stage, and the three bodies are complete.
