深沙大將儀軌

大興善寺三藏沙門大廣智不空奉　詔譯

Then Avalokitesvara bodhisattva rose from his seat amongst the congregation. He performed full body prostration respecting the Buddha’s feet. After that he said to the Buddha:

“I have one mantra, one mudra and mantras of three servants that can bestow great accomplishment methods. For the benefits, peace and happiness of virtuous men and women in this world; it is my hope Blessed One pity me and listen to what I wish to say. The mantra:

Anyone who recites this mantra, his/her bad karma shall be destroyed. If he/she persisted to recite seven times, then all his/her 5 serious sins shall also be removed. If this person recites for a full 1,000 times, all sins shall be purified. If the person recites for a total of 100,000 times, then he/she shall be able to see Avalokitesvara with various ornaments.

During the initial of ritual within 7 days’ period, the mantri can only consume milk, porridge and butter. He/she should fast during the last day. On the 15^th day, the mantri should recite mantra as many times as possible in front of the Buddha.

If the mantri hears the statue speaks “very good” and then emits light; and it further placed pearls and precious items on the head of the mantri. Then the mantri this is the sign of success. He/she shall see Avalokitesvara and having all his/her kind wishes granted.

Also the mantri shall dream of Avalokitesvara wearing various ornaments, that also means whatever his/her kind efforts shall be successful. All his/her bad karma shall be removed.

Secondly, I shall describe one mudra for the benefit of sentient beings. This mudra can accomplish 32 types and various accomplishments:

Two hands crossing at wrists back to back, two thumb tips touching two index finger tips forming swords. If the mantri makes this mudra towards the space and the space shall transform into a heavenly canopy. Areas of 10 directions including heavens shall become protected boundary. If the mantri makes this mudra towards his satya-devata, then this shall become vast offerings. If he/she uses this mudra in rituals, then this shall become vast prostration (普禮). This shall be the dedication of merits (迴向) at the end of a ritual. Also if the mantri wishes to save, dispatch or to subdue evil people, then he/she should make the mudra one heartedly and with hatred heart, he/she should recite the mantra for 108 times. Then whatever external paths did shall be destroyed.

If a person suffers from heart disease, the mantri can empower yellow soil and rub the soil at the patient’s heart and his/her illness shall be gone.

(Page 1 of 2)

These three kinds of servants can remove three types of disasters and also three types of additions (執). They can destroy karmas of previous lives and bestow the accomplishments/siddhis.

These three servants will not fight with each other; they can bestow power, cause creation and destruction. They can make bowl turn, binding of entities and woods and also make bowl fly.

T20n1080 The Cintamani Chakra Dharani Sutra (如意輪陀羅尼經)

No. 1080 [Nos. 1081-1083]

The Cintamani Chakra Dharani Sutra

(This sutra is originated from Maha-padma-vajra-samaya-adhiṣṭhāna-guhya-na-abavarana-sutra)

如意輪陀羅尼經(此經出大蓮華金剛三昧耶加持祕密無障礙經) 

 

唐天竺三藏菩提流志譯

Chapter 1: Prelude

序品第一

As I heard, at one time the Buddha was at Mount Kusinara (雞喇斯山) together with uncountable numbers of bodhisattvas complete. At that time Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva rose from his seat and tidied his garment and then kneeled for a prolonged time while making the anjali mudra (合掌) and said to the Buddha:

“Blessed One, I have maha-padma-kuta-vajra-guhya-na-abavarana-cintamani-chakra-dharani-samaya (大蓮華峯金剛祕密無障礙如意輪陀羅尼明三昧耶) that can satisfy all superb fortunate karma; whatever one wishes shall attain cintamani-siddhi.

May the Buddha allow me to speak with great compassion and I shall uphold the magical power of the Buddha; and for the benefit of all sentient beings that I am willing to speak.

Blessed One, this dharani mantra possesses victorious power as if the wish-fulfilling tree. It is the great precious rain of magicians; whatever they wish shall be given. Such is the mani jewel. It can fulfill all supreme wishes of all sentient beings.

It is my only hope that the Buddha empowers (me) with compassion.”

At that time, the Buddha told Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva and said:

“It is very kind of you because of great compassion, asking on behalf of sentient beings. I have performed the empowerment and listening to you without any obstacles. So speak and reveal this Cintamani-chakra-dharani-mantra.”

Then the Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva bestowed with the Buddha’s order and retinues, he immediately stood up with anjali mudra and performed prostration respectfully. After he encircled the Buddha three circles and then returned to his own seat. With a joyful heart, he looked at the assembled crowed in pleasure and smiling; and he spoken the fundamental dharani as below:

Namo ratnatrayaya (1). Namo arya (2) avalokitesvaraya (3). Bodhisattvaya (4) mahasattvaya (5) mahakarunikaya (6). Tadyatah (7): om (8) cakra mirati cintamani (9) patumi (10) ruru (11) tista (12) jvala (13) akalisaya (14) hum (15) phat (16) svaha (17)

(Page 1 of 15)

Maha-hrdaya-dharani-mantra (大心陀羅尼明):

Om (1) patuma (2) cintamani (3) maha jvala (4) hum (5)

Hina-hrdaya-dharani-mantra (小心陀羅尼明):

Om (1) jvala patumi (2) hum (3)

At this point, when the Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva said this dharani, the earth, mountains and jungles shook six times. All devapura (天宮), naga-bhavana (龍宮), yaksapura (藥叉宮), raksapura (羅剎宮), ghandarvapura (乾闥婆宮), asarupura (阿素落宮), kinarapura (緊那羅宮) and maharagapura (摩呼羅伽宮) all experienced major quakes.

Various evil spirits of great power such as vinayaka, the obstacle creators trembled with great fear. Palaces of demons all burnt by great fire. The demonic kings and retinues all give rise to great fear. All low down naga-kanya (龍女), yaksa-kanya (藥叉女), raksa-kanya, ghandarva-kanya, asaru-kanya, garuda-kanda, kinara-kanya, maharaga-kanya all became suffocated and laid lamely on the ground. All doors of hell opened up automatically. All sinful sentient beings within were liberated and they all being reborn into heaven and enjoyed supreme pleasure.

Then various devas each holding various wonderful heavenly benzoin, gośīrsa-candana (牛頭栴檀), agarwood (沈水) powder incenses, incense pastes and burning incense; also unique and wonderful heavenly flowers. Also various precious necklaces, hairpins, pendants, rings, armlets, precious canopies, precious crowns, deva garment and various decorative items rained down from the sky as offerings to the Buddha and the assembly.

Various colorful clouds filled the sky and heavenly music emitted automatically in the air and unbelievable harmonious and elegant voices as offerings to the Buddha. Whoever hears these sounds would stay with the force of compassion and endurance (慈忍力). All such magical manifestations are in fact due to the magical powers of Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva-guhya-cintamani-cakra-dharani-mantra.

At this time, the Buddha emitted wonderful kalavinka (迦陵頻伽) type of wonderful Sanskrit-nadam (梵聲) praising Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva with this profound and wonderful kata (偈):

It is very kind of this virtuous man because you can pity all sentient beings.

You spoke this great beneficial cintamani-dharani to assist sentient beings.

You enable believers purified their sins, delivered them from three realms and hence attain enlightenment.

(Page 2 of 15)

Anyone who follows the dharma practice, then whatever wishes shall be granted this life and hereafter.

After the Buddha has completed the kata, he further told Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva:

“Virtuous man, you should repeat this magical powerful dharani mantra and the essence of practising the ritual so that these sentient beings shall be benefited greately.”

Chapter 2: Cintamani Cakra Dharani Removing Karmic Obstacles

如意輪陀羅尼經破業障品第二

At this time, Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva again said to the Buddha:

“If there are bhikshu, bhikshuni, upasaka, upasika, kumara, kumara who wishes to beg for great merit this life, he/she should be diligent days and nights according to this Cintamani-cakra-dharani-mantra without having to choose an auspicious date. It is also needless to fast for one day or two. Also no need to take bath and built an altar. He/she only needs to wear ordinary clothing and cleanse with mantric water and that he/she can consume vegetarian food as usual and perform the siddhi ritual.

The mantri should sit with lotus asana facing east in a clean room day and night. He/she should visualize Avalokitesvara in front of him/her with perfect facial features as if of rising sun that emits great light and sitting in a lotus flower. The sadhaka should perform sadhana one heartedly and burns agarwood incense as offerings. He/she should perform prostrations respectfully according to his/her wish.

Fragrant flower offerings should not cease. Six times a day and each time he/she should recite mantra for 1,080 times continuously. The sadhaka should recite a number of 3 lakh times (1 lakh = 100,000).

He/she should stay concentrated in yoga-dharma-nidhyāna (瑜伽觀法/visualization) and recites sadhana. Then all five serious sins (五無間罪) of past and present and other extremely serious karma obstacles shall automatically be removed. The person shall experience various very auspicious dreams.  One should know this is the sign of sins diminishing. It is the protection of Avalokitesvara and from this kusala-mula (善根) hundreds and thousands of karma (事業) shall all attain siddhi with one hearted mantra recitation.

All magical powers of mantra shall not be able to achieve the magical power of this cintamani-cakra-dharani-mantra. This is the reason that this dharani if anyone can believe and practise it, then all 4 heavy sins (四重), 5 rebilious sins (五逆) and dasa-kusala (十惡) bad karma; those who bear sins that ought to fall into Avici Hell (阿毘地獄) shall have the sins removed.

If a person suffers from heat related illnesses, wind illnesses, anthracnose;anthrax (癀病),  sputum (痰病), poisons and curses (蠱毒厭禱), sore (疔瘡),  boils (疥), scabies (癩), epilepsy (癲), wind, itchy, head, nose, eyes, ears, lips, tongue, teeth, throat, chest,  armpits, heart, stomach, waist, back, limbs related illnesses, various disasters, spiritual issues for one day, two days, three days, four days until seven days; all shall be cured after performing the sadhana.

All yaksa, raksa, vinayaka and evil spirits shall not be able to harm this person. In addition, knives, wars, water, fire, strong wind, thunder, hail, the king, robbers and enemies shall not harm him/her. All ugly appearances and lack of fortune karma, mutation of evil stars (惡星變怪) shall automatically be destroyed. Poisonous snakes (蚖), snakes, viper (蝮), lizards, spiders, lions, tigers, wolves and all fierce animals shall not be able to harm the said person.

If there are military conflicts and law suits, due to the mantra accomplishments all shall be able to be liberated. If one always recite this dharani between 3am to 5 am (五更) for 1,080 times, all of the matters mentioned above shall be liberated, free and easy.

If one can recites this dharani 6 times a day for 1,080 times each time, then the Avalokitesvara shall appear in his/her dreams. He shall come to the person and say: “Virtuous man/woman, please don’t be afraid. Whatever you wish shall be granted.”

Or the person may see Amitabah or the Sukhavati (極樂世界); stately matters concerning palaces and penthouses. Or the person may see congregation of bodhisattvas of Sukhavati. Or it is that buddhas and bodhisattvas of 10 directions that he/she may see. Or it is possible that the person sees Avalokitesvara in the 7 jewel palace at Mount Potalaka (補陀落山).

Chapter 3: Cintamani Cakra Dharani Sadhana Acara

如意輪陀羅尼經誦念法品第三

Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva again told the Buddha:

“Blessed One, this guhya-cintamani-cakra-dharani contains two dharma purposes: the first is of this world and the second is for the other world. The so-called (worldly dharma is) siddhi of sadhana for supreme wish fulfillment, taming of sentient beings (攝化有情) and accumulation of fortunes, wealth and also victorious power. On the other hand, the out-of-this-world dharma means punya (福德/blessed virtues), wisdom, moksa (解/enlightenment), sambhara (資糧), alaṃkāraka (莊嚴/adornment), increase in compassion, helping the suffering sentient beings, beloved by public and etc.

The secret of this sutra is that one must practise in secrecy. It should not be revealed to the ignorance. If one attain siddhi with this guhya-samaya (祕密三昧耶祕密三昧耶) then it is best just to keep it to oneself and not speaking out loud. If one indeed (wish to)  accomplish this supreme dharani dharma, he/she should think of Avalokitesvara with perfect features as if morning rising sun shining with bright light one heartedly in whatever places (clean or otherwise) or during eating or otherwise. Then he/she should recite the dharani without wondering mind. If one performs recitation consistently without making mistakes then Avalokitesvara shall appear his golden body.

(Page 3 of 15)

(Avalokitesvara) removes defilements and then empowers (the mantri) with magical power so that whatever he/she wished for shall be fulfilled. He/she shall attain various magical powers, anda-dana (安怛陀那) method, cintamani method, ageless medicine method (住年藥法), precious jewel rain method (雨寶雨法), discovery of hidden treasure method, entering asaru cave method, shape shifting method and various medicine methods. Also vajra method (杵法), vase method (瓶法) and all worldly various entertainment methods shall be attained.

If there are kings, queens, concubines, princes, princesses, ministers, brahmana, satria, vaisya (毘舍), sudra (首陀), bhiksu (比丘), men, women, kumara, kumara or follower of external paths (外道); whoever willing to be subdued under this dharma and upholds it must know the number of recitations.

When a king performs sadhana, in 7 days and 6 times a day, he need to recite 1,080 times each time.

If a concubine performs sadhana, then she should recite 900 times for each recitation. A prince should recite 800 times, a princess should recite 700 times, a minister should recite 600 times, a brahmana should recite 500 times, a satria should recite 400 times. If the person is a vaisya, then he/should recite 300 times. A shudra should recite 200 times; a bhiksu should recite 108 times. A common man should recite 106 times and a common woman should recite 103 times. A boy should recite 100 times and a girl should recite 90 times.

The above is known as ‘recitation method’ (課法). All supreme matters shall be accomplished by reciting mantra and calling name: rich, famous, fortune, happiness, properties, money, grains, silk, slaves, maids, elephants, horses. All matters shall increase according to one’s wish.

The mantri should start from later night (後夜, 2am-6am) until dawn and the recitation should be 1,080 times continuously then unlimited affairs shall be accomplished. Men and women on heaven and earth shall come speedily as wind to seek refuge and praise (the mantri).

If one wishes to see Avalokitesvara materialize and grant wishes, then he/she should bath and clean his/her body and then use perfume powder to rub his/her body. He/she should always change into clean clothing and eat three white foods (三白食).

The mantri should prepare incense, flowers, perfumes, three white drinks and foods, fruits (果蓏) as offerings according to his/her ability. Agarwood, white cendana incenses etc should be mixed with butter and honey. The mantri should be seated in lotus asana facing east while visualizing Avalokitesvara and recites cintamani-cakra-dharani. After one recitation, a portion of the mixture is burnt for a total of 100,000 times. After that Avalokitesvara shall materialize himself and teach the mantri the speech accomplishment mantra (語成就明) to fulfill his/her wishes.

If one wishes to see vajra-grabha-graha-bodhisattva (執金剛藏菩薩) to materialize, then the mantri should use agarwood, benzoin etc and mix with butter and honey then with once mantra recitation and calling vajra-grabha-graha-bodhisattva, a portion of the material is burnt for a total of 100,000 times. The vajra-grabha-graha-bodhisattva shall appear. He shall view mantri as if his own beloved son and bestow the mantri with all dharani ritual implements.

If one wishes to see various buddhas and bodhisattvas to materialize, then he/she should use agarwood and by once mantra recitation and calls all buddhas and bodhisattvas. After that a portion of the material is burnt and the ritual is repeated for a total of 100,000 times, various buddhas and bodhisattvas shall materialize and remove obstacles of the mantri and fulfill his/her wishes.

If one wishes to make all great magicians appear, then he/she should use benzoin to mix with butter and for 7 days and nights the mantri should recite mantra once and calling the great magician once; also burning a portion of the material for 7 days and nights.

They shall empower the mantri with magical powers and follow him/her around and protect him/her.

If one wishes the master of mahāsāhasra-lokadhātu (三千大千世界), Indra, Brahma and various deva to present, then he/she should use benzoin, kunduruka (薰陸香) etc to mix with butter and honey. With once mantra recitation, calling Indra and Brahma-deva-raja once and burning a portion of material for a total of 7 days and nights.

Chapter 9: Cintamani Cakra Dharani Homa

如意輪陀羅尼經護摩品第九

Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva again said to the Buddha:

“Blessed One, this dharani mantra homa ritual can benefit all sentient beings and accomplishes all supreme dharma. It can destroy all obstacles and stops all enemies. All vinayaka shall not be able to make trouble. All subjects shall be happy to see (this person).

A mantri should choose a clean and quite place and make a square measuring 3 elbows length on the ground. And then he/she should purify the place and paint the floor. In the center is a circle hole about one elbow deep and half elbow through (一肘深半肘穿). This would be the fire pit. Cow dung and yellow soil should be used to rub and wipe (the floor) according to the prescriptions.

White sandalwood measuring two and a half holds (二把半) in length should be chopped and burn in the furnace. Equal quantity of rice flowers (稻穀花), white mustard seeds and agarwood should be mixed well with butter, honey and cheese.

The homa ritual should begin between 3am~5am and one should make 1,080 times offering. Then all 5-no-interval sins (五無間罪) and all karmic obstacles shall be destroyed at one time.

If one performs the homa ritual for 7 days, then he/she shall have longevity and suffers no mortality. Further his/her various serious sins shall be purified.

If a person performs the homa ritual for 14 days, then his fortune and lifespan shall increase and exceed. The king, prince, prime minister and subjects shall respect and serve him/her after seeing this person as if that of the Agni (火天).

If one performs the homa ritual for 21 days, then the Tra-yastrim-sat-deva (三十三天) and Śakro-devānāmindra (釋提桓因) together with all devas, Suryadeva and Candradeva (日月天子) shall come to support the mantri and grant him/her wishes. The Caturmaharaja (四天王), magician (持明), rsi (仙眾) together with retinues shall come and support and bestow efficiency (効驗).

The vajradhara-bodhisattva shall come to grant him/her supreme wishes. Avalokitesvara shall materialize himself to grant him/her big wishes so that he/she can be satisfied. All subjects shall respect and subdued.

If there is excessive drought, then a mantri can mix well butter and white mustard seeds and perform homa accordingly for 3 days and 3 nights. Then the long awaited rain shall fall. If the rain falls unceasingly, then one can collect some homa ashes and recites mantra for 108 times facing the sky. After that the ashes are thrown towards the sky and the sky shall be sunny again.

If (a place) is besieged by increasing number of disaster wind, hailstorm, rain mortality, then a mantri can recites mantra for 108 times to homa ash. After that he/she should stare at the direction then the wind and hail shall cease.

If a mantri always perform sadhana accordingly, then he/she shall possess victorious power and fearlessness such as that of the Narayana. When he/she dies, this person shall be born in the supreme joyful world of Sukhavati. Wherever he/she is born, he/she shall always understand his/her previous lives (宿命) until he/she attains enlightenment; and this person shall not fall into evil paths.

Blessed One, this Cintamani Cakra Dharani Mantra contains immeasurable merit that is very much more than the ocean without edge. If bhiksu, bhikṣunī, upasaka, upasika, kumara and kumara can follow this dharma without doubt, and those who always write and recites (the sadhana); whatever their hearts’ desires are shall be willful and victorious. At all times the catuṣ-prakāra (四部/four classes) men and women shall respect and beloved him/her. The king of magicians and various rsi shall protect this person in secrecy. He/she shall receive extra blessings and all matters automatically accomplished. He/she shall be bestowed with great honorability and being supported with all treasures, pearls, mani, gold, silver, glass, sankha (珂貝/cowrie shell), jade, clothing, musical instruments etc shall all be in abundance.

Since the mantri obtain great fortune and all wishes granted, he/she who is bestowed with these auspicious willfulness shall not reveal these to others simply. Otherwise magical powers bestowed to him/her shall fade forever.

Blessed One, this Cintamani Cakra dharani, mantra and mudra have magical powers and they are extremely rare. Those clean or not clean that can become sentient beings and that they can calm their minds into the ocean of dharma and enter various samaya; all those shall be able to achieve enlightenment with their magical plays. Because of this hetu-pratyaya (因緣/cause), I use great compassion to guide sentient beings to maturity. It is my hope that the Buddha gives adhiṣṭhāna (加持), coverage and protection.”

Chapter 10: The Urge Of Cintamani Cakra Dharani Sutra

如意輪陀羅尼經囑累品第十

At this time, the Buddha praised Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva:

“It is very kind of you the one with great compassion. You can skillfully preach this Cintamani Cakra Dharani Mantra. This dharma in Jambudvīpa (贍部洲) shall benefit and mature bodhi-kusala-mula (菩提善根) of all sentient beings. If sentient beings give adhimukticaryābhūmiḥi (發心/decided) to this Cintamani Cakra Dharani Mantra, and that they can recite and uphold it unceasingly; then in this life they shall attain the rūpa-darśana-mauna-siddhah-chaya-ṛddhi-vikrīḍita-prajna-samaya (見色寂圓照神通遊戲智三昧耶). Not only that they shall obtain great merits this life, they too shall obtain great merits in the next life. Hence all 8 division beings (天龍八部) should all respect, protect and serve (this dharma) as if serving Agni.

I as the holder of this mantra urge you so that you must always be diligent in protecting and reciting this mantra and obtain real results. I am already rejoicing seeing you the believers in person.”

Then Avalokitesvara-bodhisattva-maha-sattva said to the Buddha:

“Since immeasurable number of kalpas, I depended on the power of great compassions embracing the teaching of Buddha to urge sentient beings. I always follow and support; and bestow efficacies. Only the Buddha can prove for the benefits of sentient beings that I speak this Cintamani Cakra Dharani mantra. If a beholder performs the sadhana as his/her practice, it is not difficult that his/her wishes fulfilled.

It is according the power of the Buddha that I have made this effort to save sentient beings from sorrow.

After the Arya-Avalokitesvara-buddhisattva-maha-sattva finished mentioning this sutra, the public were all extremely joyful and they all believed in and upholding this practice.
