觀自在菩薩如意輪瑜伽

Now I, following the Yoga

Spoken in the VAJRAŚEKHARA SŪTRA

The MAṆI-PADMA Division

The DHARMA OF RECITATION ACCORDING TO ONE'S WISH

In order to cultivate this Samādhi

Or like Avalokiteśvara

First select the disciple

Belonging to a clan that reveres the Dharma

Beloved and respected by many people

Possessing wisdom, valiantly advancing

Resolved in Vīrya (Vīrya — Energetic effort)

Constantly never forsaking the Wisdom of Enlightenment

Filial and obedient toward father and mother

Serene faith in the Three Jewels

Joyfully cultivating the practice of Bodhi

In the Four Immeasurable Minds

Not interrupted even for an instant

Constantly delighting in the Mahāyāna Dharma

Abiding in the Bodhisattva Precepts

Making offerings to and revering the Ācārya

And all the Holy Ones

Accomplishing the power of firmness

The valor of a great man

Skillfully penetrating the Gate of Correspondence

Constantly delighting in the practice of Tranquility

Wisdom without fear

Adorning the body with the precepts of discipline

Diligently cultivating the Secret Vehicle

Reverently relying upon the Path of the Guiding Principle

Single-minded, turning to no other place

Constantly delighting to hear the Wondrous Dharma

Having once entered the Samaya

Receiving Abhiṣeka from the Master

Having obtained the seal of approval

In no long time he shall attain accomplishment

A disciple endowed with these marks

Only then may be granted transmission

This is indeed the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel

Able to accomplish all undertakings

As the Sūtra speaks of the dwelling place

A mountain slope with a flowing river

A pure Araṇya

A ravine or valley, according to one's liking

Removed from all perilous and fearful calamities

Making offerings according to one's ability

The practitioner faces toward the West

To the Sovereign King Maṇḍiṭa

Next, paying homage to the Buddhas of the other directions

Bowing the five limbs to touch the ground

Paying homage with reverence as in awakening

Having bent the knee and knelt long

Joining the palms, hollow in the middle

With sincere mind, fully expressing all

I, from the beginningless ages

Have wandered in birth and death

Now before the Great Holy Honored One

With all my heart I beg to repent

Now I too am thus

I vow to rely upon the empowering force

That all beings be made pure

By reason of this Great Vow

Both self and others attain Stainlessness

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Sarva bhāva, śuddha — sarva dharma sarva bhāva, śuddhe — Haṃ"

湡 辱矢向 圩益 屹楠 叻猣 辱矢向 圩砰曳

OMÏ SVABHÀVA ‘SUDDHA SARVA DHARMA SVABHÀVA ‘SUDDHA UHAMÏ

The practitioner should next rejoice in the accumulated Merit and Wisdom of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (Contemplating the merit cultivated throughout the past lives of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as though done by oneself, and thereby giving rise to joy).

All the Buddhas of the three times

The Bodhisattvas and the holy assembly

Have accumulated roots of goodness

Joining the palms, I rejoice in all

As I too have accumulated

Rejoicing without any difference

Next, one should kneel with the right knee touching the ground, join the palms in the Lotus mudrā placed upon the crown of the head, and contemplate paying homage at the feet of all the Tathāgatas and Bodhisattvas.

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Padma — Vi"

湡 扔痧 酮

OMÏ PADMA VIHÏ

Having paid homage to the Buddhas, one sits at will in the full lotus, half lotus, or Cakravartin posture.

Having formed this Sitting Mudrā

Contemplate the Buddhas throughout space

One's own body, all as before

Abiding within that assembly of the Holy

The Calm and Insight (the two palms) from atop the knees

Whirl in a dance, joined level with the heart

Like a lotus flower not yet open

Contemplate paying homage to the Buddhas

_ Next, form the Samaya

Bind it firm and strong, level with the heart

Raise the Almsgiving-Wisdom (the two little fingers) and the Meditation-Knowledge (the two thumbs)

The Vajra-Lotus Mudrā

Penetrating the rank of those who hold the lotus

Having alerted the assembly of the Holy

Recite this Mantra, which is:

"Oṃ — Vajra padma samaya, stvaṃ"

輆 向忝 扔痧 屹亙伏 僬

OMÏ VAJRA PADMA SAMAYA STVAMÏ

By reason of forming this Mudrā

The Buddha says: "SONS OF THE SUGATA

You of Great renown

Of wondrous discernment and gracious acceptance

Recall your ancient Vow

Before the VAIROCANA HONORED ONE

Dare not contravene the command of the teaching

Empower us and cause us to be fulfilled"

_ Next, form the SAMAYA MUDRĀ THAT DELIGHTS AND GLADDENS THE MINDS OF ALL THE BUDDHAS AND TATHĀGATAS

Bind the ten fingers firm and strong

The Forbearance-Vow (the two middle fingers) joined and crossed in the middle

The Almsgiving-Wisdom (the two little fingers) and the Meditation-Knowledge (the two thumbs)

Each joined and raised upright

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Samaya, hoḥ, Surata, stvaṃ"

輆 屹亙伏 趌 鉏先凹 僬

OMÏ SAMAYA HOHÏ SURATA STVAMÏ

By reason of forming this Mudrā

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

And all the Vajra-Holders

All manifest delight

_ Next, one should open the gate of the heart

Entering the syllables of Vajra Wisdom

Contemplate upon the two breasts

Right: ṬRĀ (泣 — ṬRA) Left: Ṭ (誆 — ṬÏ)

Like the door of a palace chamber

The supreme Vajra-Bandha

The three karmas issue forth at once

Strike the heart, opening the two syllables

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Vajra bandha trāṭ"

輆 向忝向神 泣誆

OMÏ VAJRA BANDHA TRÀTÏ

Sown as seeds from the beginningless

Accumulating manifold defilements

Now using the Mudrā That Summons Transgressions

Gather them together and shatter them all

Bind the ten fingers firm and strong

Extend the Forbearance-Vow (the two middle fingers) like a needle

Crook the Advance-Power (the two index fingers) like a hook

With mind contemplate summoning the transgressions

Contemplate that all those grave transgressions

Reveal their forms black as hair

And press the seal upon the heart

Having touched, recite the Mantra

Corresponding with the three karmas

Having thus been able to summon them together

Then perform the Dharma of Destruction

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Sarva pāpa ākarṣaya viśodhana samaya vajra Hūṃ jaḥ"

輆 屹楠 扒扒一溶仕 合夸叻巧 屹亙伏 向忝 嫟 切

OMÏ SARVA PÀPA AKARSÏAYA VI’SODHANA SAMAYA VAJRA HÙMÏ JAHÏ

Having summoned them into the palms

Then perform the Dharma of Destruction

The former Mudrā, interlocked within

Proclaim Haṃ (HŪṂ), binding the transgressions

The Forbearance-Vow (the two middle fingers) both extended straight

Bearing the syllable ṬRĀ ṬA (泣誆 — ṬRĀṬÏ)

Contemplate it as the Vajra pestle

Together they strike as though shattering a mountain

The forbearing phrase and the wrathful form

Are able to purify the evil destinies

Having recited, the Forbearance-Vow (the two middle fingers) strike

Twenty-one (21) times according to the rite (ritual measure)

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Vajra pāṇi visphoṭaya — Sarva pāya bandhanāni pramokṣaya — Sarva pāya gatebhyaḥ — Sarva satva māṃ — Sarva tathāgata vajra samaya — Hūṃ traṭ"

輆 向忝扒仗 合厘巴伏 屹湱 扒伏 向神左市 盲伕朴伏 屹楠 扒扔伏 丫包言 屹楠屹玆 赩 屹湱 凹卡丫凹 向忝 屹亙伏 嫟 泣誆

Using this Gate of Correspondence

The ancient Buddhas, by skillful means, declared:

The transgressions accumulated by the three karmas

The immeasurable, gravest obstructions

Having performed this destruction

Are like fire burning dry grass

Sentient beings, constantly deluded and confused

Do not know this guiding principle

Therefore, out of the Tathāgata's Great Compassion

This Secret and Wondrous gate is opened

Next, one should form the entering mudrā

Entering the syllables of Tathāgata Wisdom

The two hands bound firm and strong

The Meditation-Knowledge (the two thumbs) within the palm

Take the two measures, the Advance-Power (the two index fingers)

Resting upon each other like a ring

Contemplate a lotus of eight petals before you

Upon it place the syllable A (狣)

By the adornment of the two points

The wondrous syllable becomes Aḥ (珆 — AHÏ)

White in color like Kha snow

Radiating a thousand rays of light

Contemplate, using the limbs Advance-Power

Mindfully placing the syllable to rest within the heart

The three karmas all set in motion

Recite this Mantra, which is:

"Oṃ — Vajra aviśa, Aḥ"

OMÏ VAJRA AVI’SA AHÏ

Having contemplated it within the heart

The form of the syllable surpassingly luminous and wondrous

This is indeed the Body of the Dharmadhātu

The practitioner should contemplate and behold it

In no long time he awakens to Tranquility

The Dharma is originally never born

The Tathāgatas of the three times

The Body, Speech, and Mind Vajras

All employ wondrous skillful means

Held in the Vajra fist

Use this to close the gate of the heart

Contemplate the Buddhas throughout space

"Son of the Buddha! How will you

Accomplish Unsurpassed Perfect Enlightenment?

You do not yet know the Tathāgatas'

Wondrous Dharma of true reality"

Having heard the alert

The practitioner again addresses them, saying:

"What is the truly real?

I pray the MOST VICTORIOUS HONORED ONE will speak"

The Buddhas all rejoice

And utter Victorious Words thus:

"Excellent! Mahāsattva,

You are able to ask thus

You should contemplate within the Mind

The inner gate of the syllable Aḥ

Use the syllable to penetrate the Mind"

The Meditation-Knowledge (the two thumbs) extended side by side

The Discipline-Method (the two ring fingers) also extended straight

The Almsgiving-Wisdom (the two little fingers) crossed and locked firm

Recite this HEART-WITHIN-THE-HEART

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Varada padme Hūṃ"

輆 向先叨 扔榰 嫟

OMÏ VARADA PADME HÙMÏ

Next, contemplate within the mouth of the HONORED ONE

Pouring forth the Secret words

Clearly forming a PATH OF SYLLABLES (a path filled with syllables)

Five-colored light shining wondrously

The supreme colors interspersed

Entering the mouth of the YOGI (Yogi — One who practices the Yoga)

Arrayed within the moon-disc of the HEART

Clear as rose-colored crystal

Each one pondered thoroughly

In accord with the principle, awakening accordingly

Abiding in concentration and cultivating

Entering the gate of the syllable A

Then entering the CONTEMPLATION OF THE WHEEL OF SYLLABLES

Contemplating all the syllables everywhere

This is named the RECITATION SAMĀDHI

Attaining Wisdom together with liberation

By reason of this correspondence

In no long time one accomplishes the All-Knowing Wisdom

If, with ORDINARY SOUND (the ordinary voice), one mindfully recites

It is most victorious, wondrous, and extraordinary

Abiding in the CONTEMPLATION OF THE TUTELARY DEITY

Do not give rise to a hasty mind

Neither high nor low

Neither too slow nor too rushed

The Wise One departs from discrimination

And from all minds of false notions

If one recites a lakṣa (100,000 times)

What is sought shall all be Siddhi (Siddhi — Accomplishment)

The two hands hold a rosary

Of crystal and lotus seeds

Conch beads and other jewels

Bright and beautiful without flaw

One should string one hundred and eight

Each bead reciting seven times

The HEART AND THE HEART-WITHIN-THE-HEART

Or the VIKURVAṆA (Vikurvaṇa)

Performing this Dharma to empower

Having strung the beaded garland

Right at the heart, each single measure

Together with SVĀHĀ in unison (in one voice)

One thousand one hundred and eight times

According to one's strength, recite

Four times or three times a day

This Dharma after the VICTORIOUS night

In the WISH-FULFILLING WHEEL Sūtra

Of the FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING, the Buddha has spoken

If one cultivates thus

In this very life one realizes the FIRST GROUND

After sixteen lifetimes

One attains UNSURPASSED BODHI

How much more the WORLDLY SIDDHI (the accomplishment of worldly matters)

If in this life things go not as one wishes

Having recited according to one's strength

Reform again the SAMAYA

Again perform the Eight OFFERINGS

Dispatching and sending off the Lord of Mantras

The two hands bound firm and strong

The Forbearance-Vow (the two middle fingers) in the form of lotus petals

From the heart to the face, release

Atop the crown join the Flower palms

Contemplate the HONORED ONE in space

Again the road returning to the palace

The Mantra is:

"Oṃ — Padma satva hrīḥ muḥ"

輆 扔痧屹玆 猭 鄖

OMÏ PADMA SATVA HRÌHÏ MUHÏ

Having dispatched and sent off the Holy Ones

One abides oneself in the VICTORIOUS TUTELARY DEITY

Or in a quiet and idle place

Reciting and reading the MAHĀYĀNA

The LAṄKĀ and the AVATAṂSAKA

The PRAJÑĀ and the GUIDING PRINCIPLE

Sūtra-teachings of this kind

Pondering them, then cultivating

Having recited and read the scriptures

At will walking, standing, sitting

In no long time one shall attain accomplishment

VAJRA-HOLDER has said:

This Ritual of Great Compassion

Does not depend on the day and the constellations (the asterisms)

The time, eating, bathing

Whether Pure or Impure

One should constantly never interrupt it

Swiftly departing from distraction

Refraining from idleness and tranquility

Not reckoning the affairs of the world

Having finished reciting, give rise to the vow

Form the SAMAYA MUDRĀ

Having paid homage to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

At will perform circumambulation

THE YOGA OF THE WISH-FULFILLING WHEEL OF AVALOKITEŚVARA BODHISATTVA

(One Fascicle, Complete)
