化符利众仪轨

林钰堂

---

一、本净

观法界一切回归本净而现无限之蓝光。

二、观境

光中出现林上师，其顶上则为陈上师。林上师之右侧有韦驮菩萨，左侧则为海龙王。

行者前方为代求加被之苦众及亡者众。此等则为轮回中一切众生所环绕。全体仰望空中之圣众，亟盼得渡。

三、菩提

念〈圆融四无量心〉偈一遍：

慈是与众生乐，悲是拔众生苦，喜是法本净喜，舍是离一切执。

慈之慈，慈之悲，慈之喜，慈之舍；
悲之慈，悲之悲，悲之喜，悲之舍；
喜之慈，喜之悲，喜之喜，喜之舍；
舍之慈，舍之悲，舍之喜，舍之舍。

而后，再念三遍：

慈悲喜舍

想四无量心圆融成真实菩提心。菩提心由行者心轮放蓝光普及一切众生，并感得圣众亦放五色光加持一切众生及行者。

四、祈佑

念〈祈请师恩偈〉一遍：

轮回苦众亟盼渡，师佛慈悯遍群生：
我今化符以利众，愿承师恩速圆成！

五、化符

念“南无阿弥陀佛”及“嗡妈尼悲咪吽”各六遍表示加被六道众生。随即化符。

想由弥陀圣号符化现无数阿弥陀佛之化身，一一接引法界中之亡者众至净土。

想由六字大明符化现无数韦驮菩萨之化身，为一切苦众一一消灾添福，使彼等在解脱道上，渐入佳境。

 

六、谢恩

念〈谢恩偈〉一遍：

弥陀接引往净土，韦驮护持渡苦厄；
上师手泽普济众，解脱道上恩光隆！

七、传续

念〈祈师长住世偈〉一遍：

本来清净瑜伽士，双运妙化莲华生；
空乐大喜无等伦，愿祈师寿恒驻世。

念〈传承绵延广化偈〉一遍：

代代相传正法髓，承先启后转法轮；
绵延法脉圣众守，遍照普济无尽灯！

跋

古晋吴荣利居士求作简轨，以供每日化拙书圣符二种以利亡者及苦众之修持。感其菩提心愿，喜其欲得定轨以遵循，于一日之内即制订此轨。愿依此轨修习者日增，使法益广被。

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!
