白觀音証契儀軌
林鈺堂
前行
陳供如常。
頂禮三拜。
正行
上座依軌修習：
一、發心合掌虔念：
無常遷變瞬息間，有情漂流苦海中，
清明此座太珍貴，為眾修軌証觀音。
二、觀空結定印，默念三遍：
萬法皆緣成，相依而共存；
捨對立分別，現一體本淨。觀想全法界回歸本來清淨，而呈現為無有邊限之天藍色光明。
三、整體觀想於此藍色光明中出現全法界之四聖六凡。
行者之父母分居其右、左兩側。前為歷世之冤親，後為六道眾生。六道中最需救助之地獄眾生緊隨行者之後，然後依序為餓鬼道、畜生道、人道、阿修羅道、天道之一切眾生。所有眾生皆與行者同一面向。
行者前方之空中則為一切諸佛、菩薩、聲聞、緣覺、護法等聖眾。白色四臂觀世音菩薩居於正中，紅色阿彌陀佛安住其上空，彼等為西方極樂世界一切聖眾所環繞。此等之外，則為所有其他淨土之佛、菩薩及聖眾，層層環繞。所有聖眾皆慈憫顧視六道眾生。
四、皈依合掌虔念三遍，並觀想一切眾生皆仰望空中之觀世音菩薩，而合聲齊念：
皈依金剛上師
皈依觀音菩薩
皈依圓融佛法
皈依菩提聖眾觀想一切聖眾皆因眾生能明辨及抉擇解脫之道而感到欣慰，並由觀世音菩薩代表一切聖眾攝受眾生之皈依。觀世音菩薩從心輪放出白光照臨每一眾生，為彼消業、培福、長養菩提。然後此白光即進住每一眾生心中，大小如一燭焰，永遠閃耀菩提光芒，照明菩提正道。
五、供奉觀想一切有情皆欣喜參預廣大長遠之供奉，並與行者合聲齊念：
遍法界珍寶，傾明行證德，離惜遺供獻；
乞慈憫攝受，演妙法善巧，無疏漏救渡。觀想一切聖眾皆因此等供奉純粹基於菩提心而欣喜接納、受用。一切聖眾皆得圓滿之受用。一切聖眾放五色光（藍、白、黃、紅、綠）充遍法界，加持一切眾生。然後，阿彌陀佛及觀世音菩薩以外之一切聖眾皆化光進入阿彌陀佛，阿彌陀佛再化光降頂進入觀世音菩薩心中。
六、讚頌觀想六道眾生合聲齊念；行者傾忱念誦，並可加用鈴、鼓、引磬、木魚等：
觀音菩薩淨光照，十方有情心性開！
觀音菩薩清音演，三世得聞煩惱除！
觀音菩薩恆憶念，雖陷五濁離塵垢！
觀音菩薩是依怙，救難拔苦尋聲至！觀想觀世音菩薩於聆讚後，因行者及眾生之正信而大為歡喜。觀世音菩薩由心輪放出鮮明白光，充遍法界，加持一切眾生。觀世音菩薩隨即以甘露灑淨眾生之身、語、意業，並賜飲甘露以增長眾生的壽命及慧命。
Praise of Guan Yin
七、成就
觀想全法界一切眾生經觀世音菩薩甘露加持而回歸本淨，全都化光融成無限的天藍色光明。觀世音菩薩渡生圓滿，亦化光融入本淨之光明中。全法界成為無限無分的一體。
於此藍色光明中，忽然炳現羯摩杵，杵上現八獅子座，再漸次於座上現蓮、日墊、月墊。月墊正中豎立白色之種子字「啥」
。啥字轉化成觀世音菩薩白色之虹光身，具足報身莊嚴，而以麟皮被左肩覆乳，跏趺而坐，兩手捧摩尼寶於胸前，另兩手分列兩側，右持百零八珠之水晶念珠，左持白蓮花。菩薩之心輪有蓮，上為日墊，再上為月墊。於此月墊之正中，啥字豎立；於月墊之周沿則為觀世音菩薩心咒之咒字排成一圈。咒字皆白色。此六字依次逆時鐘方向排列，平均分佈於圓周。
觀世音菩薩心咒
嗡媽尼悲咪吽
八、轉咒念誦心咒，並觀想心輪內之咒輪旋轉。中央之啥字不動，但圓周之咒輪則順時鐘方向愈轉愈快。良久之後，咒輪才漸漸減速旋轉，直到停止。
咒輪旋轉時，同時放出一波波的白光，漸漸傳遍法界。每一波白光中皆有無數的觀世音菩薩，隨波分向十方去救渡種種的眾生。
九、一氣閉口，舌抵上顎，以鼻修深呼吸。吸氣時觀想一切眾生之愚痴、罪業、病苦、煩惱、業障等等皆化為濁惡之黑氣，而被觀世音菩薩以大慈悲心吸入。住氣時觀想此等黑氣皆已被觀世音菩薩之大智、大德所淨化，而轉化為可以長養眾生慧命的清新智氣。呼氣時觀想此清新智氣充遍法界，成熟眾生，使早開悟、証果。
十、相即經過聖凡一氣之融通，觀世音菩薩與眾生交融於本淨光明中；聖凡之名相區分漸漸消逝。全法界再度呈現為無限無邊的藍色光明。
由此本淨光明中，觀世音菩薩化現為行者之相，以便在世間隨緣教化及救渡，而後下座。下座後，即藉此行者之形像及言行而開展慈悲救渡之善巧方便於無盡。

White Chenrezi Unification Sadhana
Yutang Lin
Preliminaries
Arrange offerings as usual.
Do prostration three times.
Regular Practice
Ascend the seat and practice in accordance with the sadhana as follows:
1. MotivationFold palms together and sincerely recite:
In a blink the swift changes of impermanence may arrive,
Sentient beings are drifting in the ocean of suffering,
This altruistic session born of sober clarity is all too precious,
For all beings this sadhana is practiced to realize Chenrezi.
2. Original Purity
Rest the hands in Dhyana mudra, and silently recite three times:
All things are conditional phenomena,
Mutually dependent and coexistent;
Renouncing antagonistic discriminations,
All appear as original purity in oneness.Visualize the whole Dharmadhatu return to original purity, and appear as boundless sky-blue light.
3. Totality
Visualize that all the four classes of saints and the six realms of sentient beings appear from this blue light.
Visualize that one's father and mother are to the right and left side, all beings related to one through past karma to the front, and the rest of the sentient beings behind. Among the six realms of sentient beings behind one, those in hells who need salvation most are closest to one, then are the other beings in the order of hungry ghosts, animals, humans, asuras, and finally the heavenly beings. All sentient beings are facing the same direction as the practitioner.
Visualize that in the space in front of the practitioner are all the holy beings: Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arahats, Pratyeka-Buddhas, Dharma Protectors, etc. At the center is the white four-armed Chenrezi, with Amitabha Buddha (red) presiding in the space above Chenrezi, and they are surrounded by all holy beings of the Western Pureland of Utmost Joy. These are in turn surrounded by layers after layers of all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and holy beings of all other purelands. With great compassion all holy beings look attentively at all the sentient beings below.
4. Taking Refuge
Fold palms together and sincerely recite three times the following refuge formula while visualizing that all sentient beings are gazing with admiration at Chenrezi in the sky and recite together in unison:
I take refuge in the Vajra Guru.
I take refuge in White Chenrezi.
I take refuge in thorough Buddha Dharma.
I take refuge in holy beings of Bodhi.Visualize that all holy beings are rejoicing over sentient beings' ability to recognize and choose the path toward liberation. Chenrezi, on behalf of all holy beings, grants refuge to all sentient beings. From the heart chakra of Chenrezi rays of white light radiates forth to each and every sentient being. In this way each sentient being's bad karma is eradicated, merits increased, and Bodhicitta nurtured. This ray of white light then stays, like a candle flame, in the heart of the sentient being, shines forth the light of Bodhi, and sheds light on the right path of Bodhi forever.
5. Offering
Visualize that all sentient beings take delight in participating the making of extensive and long-term offerings and donations, and that they join the practitioner in reciting in unison the following stanza:
Filling the whole Dharmadhatu with treasures,
Pouring all attainments of the wisdom path,
Offered without reluctance nor omission; Beg to accept out of compassion and empathy,
Exhibit skillful display of the wondrous Dharma,
Salvage without neglect nor omission.Visualize that all holy beings are delighted by the Bodhicitta which is the pure motivation underlying these offerings, and therefore gladly accept and enjoy the offerings. Each and every holy being obtains complete enjoyment of all sorts. All holy beings emit lights in blue, white, yellow, red and green color that enlighten the whole Dharmadhatu and give blessings to all sentient beings. Then all holy beings other than Amitabha Buddha and Chenrezi transform into lights and merge into Amitabha Buddha. And then Amitabha Buddha also transforms into light that descends through the top of Chenrezi and merges into Chenrezi's heart chakra.
6. Praise
Recite with ardent devotion and may use accompanying Dharma instruments such as bell, drum, inverted bell (Yin Qing) and wooden fish; visualize that all sentient beings join the practitioner in ardently reciting in unison the following praise:
White Chenrezi emits pure lights,
Spiritual nature of sentient beings in all directions are revealed! White Chenrezi enunciates clear sounds,
Sorrows of sentient beings at all times are eradicated!White Chenrezi always remembered,
Even trapped in the mire of sorrows one is still spotless!White Chenrezi is the savior,
Reaching all cries for help in perils and sufferings!Visualize that White Chenrezi, upon hearing this praise, is very pleased by the right faith of the practitioner and the sentient beings. White Chenrezi emits bright white lights from his heart chakra shining through the whole Dharmadhatu and giving blessings to all sentient beings. Then White Chenrezi sprinkles showers of nectar upon sentient beings to purify their karma of body, speech and mind. The nectar is also granted for sentient beings to drink in order to nourish their wisdom and expand their life span.
7. Accomplishment
Visualize that, through the nectar blessing of White Chenrezi, all sentient beings in the whole Dharmadhatu have returned to the original purity; they all transform and merge into a boundless sky-blue light. White Chenrezi, having thus purified all sentient beings, also transforms and merges into this light of original purity. The whole Dharmadhatu becomes a limitless and indiscriminative Oneness.
In this vast expanse of blue brilliance, suddenly there appears a karma vajra. Above the karma vajra, there appears a magnificent Dharma seat supported by eight lions.
Then above the seat there appears, one after the other and one above the other, a lotus, a sun cushion and a moon cushion. At the center of the moon cushion there appears a white seed word "Hsri
" standing upright. Hsri transforms into Chenrezi with white brilliant rainbow body, complete with all adornments of a Sambhogakaya, and a piece of Qi Lin hide covering his left shoulder and breast, sitting in lotus posture, with two of his hands holding a wish-fulfilling jewel in front of his chest, and the remaining two hands, one on each side, with the right one holding a string of 108 crystal prayer-beads and the left one holding a white lotus flower. In the heart chakra of Chenrezi there is a lotus, above which is a sun cushion, and a moon cushion atop. Standing upright at the center of this moon cushion is a white seed word "Hsri"
The Heart Mantra of White Chenrezi
Om Ma Ni Bei Mi Hong
8. Spinning
Recite the Heart Mantra and simultaneously visualize that the mantra wheel in the heart chakra is spinning. The word Hsri at the center remains still. The mantra wheel spins clockwise with ever increasing speed. After a long while of spinning, the mantra wheel gradually slows down until it comes to a complete stop.
As the mantra wheel spins, it simultaneously emits waves of white light spreading in all directions throughout the whole Dharmadhatu. With each wave of white light countless numbers of White Chenrezi are sent forth. These Chenrezi surf the waves of light to all corners of the Dharmadhatu in order to salvage all sorts of sentient beings.
9. One Breath
With mouth closed and tongue touching the upper front palate, practice deep breathing through the nostrils. While inhaling visualize that the ignorance, sinful karma, sickness, suffering, sorrows, karmic hindrances, etc., of all sentient beings are transforming into foul and black air, and yet are inhaled by Chenrezi out of great compassion. While holding the breath visualize that all such foul and black air has been purified by the profound wisdom and countless merits of Chenrezi into clean and fresh air of wisdom which will nourish the wisdom life of each and every sentient being. While exhaling visualize that this clean and fresh air of wisdom permeates the whole Dharmadhatu, nourishing and maturing all sentient beings so that they would open and expand their minds and attain full enlightenment soon.
10. Identification
Having merged through the communion in one breath of Chenrezi and all sentient beings, the Bodhisattva and sentient beings transform into light and become one in the brilliant blue light of original purity. The nominal distinction between "Bodhisattva" and "sentient being" gradually fades away. The whole Dharmadhatu again appears as limitless blue brilliance.
From this brightness of original purity Chenrezi appears in human form as the practitioner to facilitate teaching and salvaging sentient beings in this world in accordance with their various aptitudes and conditions. Then Chenrezi descends from the seat. Afterwards Chenrezi employs the form, speeches and activities of the practitioner to expand ingenious contrivances in limitless fashions toward the compassionate salvation of all sentient beings.
