在本短文中,我特別開示「密咒佈光入三摩地法」,此法極少公開傳授,故極其珍貴:
行者手結本尊印,隨即觀想自己本尊入自己身中,剎那剎那變成本尊,三十二相,八十種好,圓滿身

光。想自己用本尊印契觸頂佈「嗡」字,觸喉佈「阿」字,觸心佈「吽」字,觸臍佈「梭」字,觸密

佈「哈」字。(梵字)
「嗡」字安頂輪,色白,放無量光,除滅一切業障。
「阿」字安喉輪,色紅,照諸愚暗,發如來智慧。
「吽」字安心輪,色藍,一切淨琉璃,速達至彼岸。
「梭」字安臍輪,色黃,坐於金剛座,速速轉法輪。
「哈」字安密輪,色綠,吉祥與圓滿,速得寂滅相。
如此佈字,又想念顏色之光,便成為本尊實相。如此能滅諸罪得吉祥,能得大智慧及清淨,很快入三

摩地,達到本尊悉地,因為密咒每一字均不可思議之故。
這密咒,原「本不生故」,於是得不生不滅;由不生不滅,得無所得,於是則無生滅;因無生滅,則

無垢;由無垢,得無等覺;由無覺,得無取捨;由無取捨,得平等;由平等,得超因果。於是入勝義

諦,證明法界真如,這就入了三摩地。
我說,請注意上面這一段文字,這一段文字是入三摩地的次第,由「本不生」開始,一直到證「法界

真如」。
【大悲心經】云:「陀羅尼是禪定藏,百千三昧,常現前故。」


 A Mantra is the Treasury of Meditation

  In this short article, I shall reveal ‘The Practice of Casting Light with Mantra and Entering into Samadhi’. 

  This practice is rarely transmitted in public, and that makes it extremely precious.
  The practitioner forms the mudra of his personal deity and visualizes his personal deity entering into himself. In an instant, he is transformed into the deity with all the thirty-two major signs and eighty minor characteristics of a buddha, displaying a perfect aura of light. He then visualizes touching his crown chakra with the deity’s mudra and plants the syllable OM. Then he touches his throat chakra to plant the syllable AH, touches his heart chakra to plant the syllable HUM, touches his navel chakra to plant the syllable SO and finally touches his root chakra to plant the syllable HA (All syllables in Sanskrit letters for this particular visualization)
  The syllable OM is planted at the crown chakra; its colour is white, radiating infinite light to remove all karmic hindrances.
  The syllable AH is planted at the throat chakra; its colour is red, illuminating all dense darkness to generate the wisdom of the Tathagata.
  The syllable HUM is planted at the heart chakra; its colour is blue, like pure lapis lazuli, speeding the cultivator towards the other shore.
  The syllable SO is planted at the navel chakra; its colour is yellow, seated on the vajra throne, it swiftly turns the Dharma wheel.
  The syllable HA is planted at the root chakra; its colour is green. All is auspicious and complete, swiftly bringing the cultivator to the state of Nirvana.
  By planting the seed syllables and visualizing the respective colours of light, the cultivator forms the true body of the personal deity. In so doing, all past karmic transgressions are removed and one receives blessings, great wisdom and purity. Visualizing the seed syllables and colours in this way helps one enter Samadhi quickly and arrive at the Siddhi of the personal deity. This is due to the incredible inherent nature of each mantra syllable.
  Mantra in its true origin is ‘unborn’, and thus has neither a beginning nor an end; and as such, nothing is attained. Therefore, it is not subject to creation and destruction, and so is not subject to defilement. As it is not defiled, supreme awareness is gained. Furthermore, there is nothing to differentiate, so one is left in a state of equanimity. In this state, one rises beyond cause and effect and enters into the absolute truth, thereby verifying the suchness of the Dharma realm. This is entering into Samadhi.
  Let me draw your attention to the above paragraph, as it illustrates the stages of entering into Samadhi, beginning with ‘the origin is unborn’ and progressing to verifying ‘the suchness of the Dharma realm’.
  The Great Compassion Heart Sutra states, ‘Dharani is the treasury of meditation, as hundreds and thousands of Samadhi states often manifest through it.’
