化符利眾儀軌

林鈺堂

---

一、本淨

觀法界一切回歸本淨而現無限之藍光。

二、觀境

光中出現林上師，其頂上則為陳上師。林上師之右側有韋馱菩薩，左側則為海龍王。

行者前方為代求加被之苦眾及亡者眾。此等則為輪迴中一切眾生所環繞。全體仰望空中之聖眾，亟盼得渡。

三、菩提

念〈圓融四無量心〉偈一遍：

慈是與眾生樂，悲是拔眾生苦，喜是法本淨喜，捨是離一切執。

慈之慈，慈之悲，慈之喜，慈之捨；
悲之慈，悲之悲，悲之喜，悲之捨；
喜之慈，喜之悲，喜之喜，喜之捨；
捨之慈，捨之悲，捨之喜，捨之捨。

而後，再念三遍：

慈悲喜捨

想四無量心圓融成真實菩提心。菩提心由行者心輪放藍光普及一切眾生，並感得聖眾亦放五色光加持一切眾生及行者。

四、祈佑

念〈祈請師恩偈〉一遍：

輪迴苦眾亟盼渡，師佛慈憫遍群生：
我今化符以利眾，願承師恩速圓成！

五、化符

念「南無阿彌陀佛」及「嗡媽尼悲咪吽」各六遍表示加被六道眾生。隨即化符。

想由彌陀聖號符化現無數阿彌陀佛之化身，一一接引法界中之亡者眾至淨土。

想由六字大明符化現無數韋馱菩薩之化身，為一切苦眾一一消災添福，使彼等在解脫道上，漸入佳境。

 

六、謝恩

念〈謝恩偈〉一遍：

彌陀接引往淨土，韋馱護持渡苦厄；
上師手澤普濟眾，解脫道上恩光隆！

七、傳續

念〈祈師長住世偈〉一遍：

本來清淨瑜伽士，雙運妙化蓮華生；
空樂大喜無等倫，願祈師壽恆駐世。

念〈傳承綿延廣化偈〉一遍：

代代相傳正法髓，承先啟後轉法輪；
綿延法脈聖眾守，遍照普濟無盡燈！

跋

古晉吳榮利居士求作簡軌，以供每日化拙書聖符二種以利亡者及苦眾之修持。感其菩提心願，喜其欲得定軌以遵循，於一日之內即制訂此軌。願依此軌修習者日增，使法益廣被。

Sadhana for Burning Mantra Sheets

Yutang Lin

1. Original Purity

 Visualize that all things in the Dharmadhatu return to original purity and become limitless blue light.

2. Field of Visualization

From the blue light Guru Lin appears, above him is Guru Chen. On Guru Lin's right-hand side is Bodhisattva Wei Tuo, and on Guru Lin's left-hand side is the Dragon King.

In front of the practitioner are all the suffering beings and deceased beings that are prayed for. These beings and the practitioner are surrounded by all beings in transmigration. All look up to the holy ones in the sky with eager yearning for salvation. 

3. Bodhicitta 

Recite the "Stanza of Unification of Four Boundless Minds" once:

Benevolence means to bring happiness to sentient beings. Compassion means to relieve sentient beings of sufferings. Joy means the delight of original purity. Release means freedom from all attachments.

Benevolence of benevolence, compassion of benevolence, joy of benevolence, release of benevolence;
Benevolence of compassion, compassion of compassion, joy of compassion, release of compassion;
Benevolence of joy, compassion of joy, joy of joy, release of joy;
Benevolence of release, compassion of release, joy of release, release of release;

And then repeat three times:

Benevolence, compassion, joy, release.

Visualize that unification of the four boundless minds becomes genuine Bodhicitta. Bodhicitta emits blue lights from the heart chakra of the practitioner, and the lights shine on all sentient beings. The lights also inspire the holy ones to emit five-color lights to bless all sentient beings and the practitioner. 

4. Supplication for Blessing 

Recite the "Stanza of Supplication for Guru's Grace" once:

Suffering beings in transmigration are eagerly yearning for salvation.
Guru Buddha's merciful empathy encompasses each and every being.
Now I burn these holy mantra sheets to benefit helpless beings.
May salvation and liberation be readily accomplished via Guru's Grace!

5. Burning Mantra Sheets

Repeat "Namo Amitabha Buddha" six times and then "Weng Ma Ni Bei Mi Hong" six times, signifying blessing all beings in the six realms. Then burn the mantra sheets.

Visualize that from the burned mantra sheets of "Namo Amitabha Buddha" countless transformations of Amitabha Buddha appear, and they guide each and every deceased being in the Dharmadhatu to the Pureland.

Visualize that from the burned mantra sheets of "Weng Ma Ni Bei Mi Hong" countless transformations of Bodhisattva Wei Tuo appear, and they help each and every suffering being in the Dharmadhatu to remove hindrances and increase merits so that they will gradually attain better ground on the path to liberation. 

6. Expression of Gratitude

Recite the "Stanza of Gratitude for Guru's Grace" once:

Amitabha Buddha guides deceased beings to Pureland.
Bodhisattva Wei Tuo helps suffering beings to gain ease.
Guru's calligraphy miraculously saves beings universally.
Abundance of holy grace shines the liberation path indeed!

7. Continuity

Recite the "Stanza of Supplication for Guru's Extensive Stay in the World" once:

Oh, originally pure yogi you are!
Wonderful conversion through Ewam as the Lotus-born Guru;
The great joy in Sunyata is peerless,
May the Holy Guru live long and abide in this world!

Recite the "Stanza of Supplication for Continuation and Wide-spreading of the Lineage" once:

Passed from generation to generation the marrow of Right Dharma,
Succeeding predecessors and guiding successors in propagation of Dharma,
Continuity of Dharma artery is cared for and well guarded by holy ones,
Universal illumination and salvation will be carried on by endless lamps!

Epilog:

Upasaka Goh Yong Lee of Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia requested me to compose a simple Sadhana for his daily practice of burning the two kinds of mantra sheets printed with my calligraphy in Chinese of "Namo Amitabha Buddha" and "Weng Ma Ni Bei Mi Hong" respectively so as to benefit deceased beings and suffering beings that came across his attention. In recognition of his Bodhi aspiration and taking delight in his wish to follow a Sadhana for regular practice I finished this composition within one day of having received his request. May the number of practitioners that follow this Sadhana grow daily so that the benefits of this Dharma practice will spread ever expansive!
