六字大明咒修法仪轨

Six-Syllable Mantra Meditation Ritual

一、入座，合掌，念四皈依咒语 3─7 遍： “南无古鲁贝，南无布达雅，南无达尔嘛雅，南无僧嘎雅。”

Enter into a meditative position: pressing the palms and fingers of your hands together and Take Refuge by chanting the following mantra 3 to 7 times:

“Namo Gurubay, Namo Buddhaya, Namo Dharmaya, Namo Sanghaya.”

二、念三遍：

“南无根本上师元音阿阇黎。”“南无十方三世诸佛、菩萨、金刚、护法神祇。”

Recite the following 3 times:

“Namo Root Guru Yuanyin Acharya, Namo all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras and Dharma-Protection Deities from the three times in the ten directions.”

三、念一遍：

“祈求根本上师元音阿阇黎、祈求十方三世诸佛、菩萨、金刚、护法神祇慈力加被，消我业障，使我安心入佛，虔修妙法，早日成就，救度众生。”

Recite the following:

“I pray to our Root Guru Yuanyin Acharya, to all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajras, and Dharma-Protection Deities from the three times in the ten directions. Please bless me with your compassion, purify my karma, guide me along the Buddhist path to peacefully and sincerely embody this precious Dharma practice. May I swiftly attain Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings.”

四、结大莲花手印（黄布盖手）：

掌根、拇指、小指，三点合，其余六指自然分开，置于胸前。即：合掌后，自然分开六指。

Form the Great Lotus mudra:

Join the hands at three points: base of the palms, thumbs, and baby fingers, leaving the other fingers apart from each other naturally. Cover the hands with a yellow cloth and hold the covered mudra close to the chest.

念六字大明咒（心念耳闻）：

 “嗡（ong）嘛（ma）呢（ni）叭（bei）咪（mei）吽（hong）”。

Silently Chant the six-syllable mantra (chant silently and listen within your heart) :

“Om mani padme hum”

结印时手要用黄布盖好，念咒速度不急不缓，（每分钟大约60遍），手印勿散，咒语不停，心念耳闻。要求每日都坐半小时以上，两小时更好。

Notes: Chant at a moderate speed (about 60 times per minute). Do not release the mudra and do not pause the chanting. Chant silently without sound but with moving lips. The meditation must be practiced for more than half hour per day, preferably for two hours.

五、修完毕：将手印举至头顶，念六字大明咒十余遍，发愿回向：“愿此生速开智慧成佛，救度众生，不求余果。”

Upon completion, raise the mudra above your head and repeat the six-syllable mantra at least ten more 10 times.With the mudra still above your head, perform a dedication of merit:       
“May I quickly attain Buddhahood through the perfection of wisdom within this lifetime, with the single goal of delivering all sentient beings from suffering.”

六、顶上散印，下座 。

Release the mudra over the top of your head to end meditation.
