仁王般若念誦法 1.44

1.44

「如是依前至心誦念，遍數足已即頂戴數珠置於本處。結三摩地印，橫舒兩手以右押左，置於臍下，端身閉目頭少微屈，專注心上，諦觀圓明鏡智上縱廣一肘漸遍法界。布字行列右旋，次第觀一一字光明徹照，從外向內至於地字，從內向外漸觀諸字，周而復始。至第三遍心善寂定，了了分明觀所詮義不生不滅一一平等，皆遍法界非動非靜，定慧雙運永離諸相，即是般若波羅蜜多三摩地觀。從此却結般若波羅蜜多印，誦陀羅尼七遍，於頂上散。次結普供養印，如前運心次第供養。對聖眾前，以向所修所生功德，盡將資益所求諸願，為國為家利他滿足，然後迴施眾生、迴嚴淨土、迴向實際、迴求無上菩提，願共有情速至彼岸。次結前結界印，誦前真言三遍左轉，即成解界。次結前三部印，誦前真言三遍，皆以大拇指向外撥之，即成發遣聖眾各歸本土。行者作禮而去，如常經行、受持讀誦大乘，勿散動也。如是五更至於晨朝以為初時，從日午後至於未時為第二時，從黃昏後至於中夜為第三時，從中夜後至於五更為第四時。如是時中各依本數精勤不怠，一切他敵自然降伏、一切災難永不復生。」

"In this way, according to the foregoing, chant and recite with the utmost sincerity. When the number of repetitions is complete, place the rosary on top of your head and set it down in its original place. Form the samādhi mudrā: extend both hands horizontally with the right resting on the left, and place them below the navel. Sit upright, close the eyes, slightly bend the head, and focus your attention on the heart. Carefully visualize upon the round, clear Mirror-like Wisdom [a disc] one cubit in width and breadth, gradually pervading the Dharma realm. Arrange the rows of letters in a clockwise direction, sequentially visualizing each letter shining with penetrating radiance: from the outside inward up to the syllable di, and from the inside outward gradually visualizing each letter, beginning again when finished. By the third round, the mind becomes exquisitely tranquil and still; clearly and distinctly visualize the signified meaning as neither arising nor ceasing, each and every one equal, all pervading the Dharma realm, neither moving nor still. When concentration and wisdom are operated in tandem, forever transcending all marks, this is the samādhi visualization of Prajñāpāramitā. Thereupon, form the Prajñāpāramitā mudrā again, chant the dhāraṇī seven times, and release it above the crown of the head. Next, form the Universal Offering mudrā, sequentially making offerings by directing the mind as before. Before the holy assembly, take all the merit generated from what has been practiced and completely apply it toward fulfilling all aspirations: for the state and for the family, fulfilling the benefit of others; then dedicate it to sentient beings, dedicate it to adorning the pure land, dedicate it toward reality itself, and dedicate it toward seeking unsurpassable bodhi, wishing that all sentient beings may quickly reach the other shore. Next, form the previously described boundary-consecration mudrā, chant the previous mantra three times while rotating to the left, which effects the releasing of the boundary. Next, form the mudrās of the three divisions as before, and chant their previous mantras three times, in each case flicking outward with the thumbs, which effects the dismissal of the holy assembly, each returning to their original realm. The practitioner makes prostrations and departs, engaging as usual in walking meditation and in accepting, upholding, reading, and reciting the Mahāyāna, without distraction or agitation. In this manner, from the fifth watch until dawn is regarded as the first period; from afternoon until the wei hour (1:00–3:00 p.m.) is the second period; from after dusk until midnight is the third period; and from after midnight until the fifth watch is the fourth period. In these periods, diligently practice without laxity according to each prescribed count, and all external enemies will naturally submit, and all disasters and calamities will never arise again."
