持〈古魯古里佛母心咒〉觀想法 林鈺堂 簡繁轉換 - 繁體 弟子敬行以此題目請我作文開示，並望能由之申明一般持咒之觀法。 持咒（或佛號）時，可以不加觀想，只專心於咒（佛號）之持續上。但在開始時及結束時宜加法界四聖六凡，上顧下仰，之觀想。 持〈古魯古里佛母心咒〉，如自觀為佛母，即可依〈證契儀軌〉中之〈成就、轉咒〉二節所述修觀。 若平日持咒於行住坐臥之中，可觀佛母於面前上方虛空中，垂顧行者。或觀佛母與行者同一面向，而在行者頂上一肘高處。佛母身高為一肘。 若以佛母為本尊，在日常生活中不斷持其咒，也可加修觀心輪中之咒輪放紅光加持法界一切有情。至於轉咒輪，則僅於座上修之。 如上所述，行者極易推知如何應用於他尊之持咒觀法。
附答 敬行：觀想古魯古里佛母與上師「無二無別」，是指與上師一體，對嗎？又有何作用？ ----- Original Message ----- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Yutang Lin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jui khin yeo Visualization of Kurukulla Mantra Practice Yutang Lin Disciple Jing Xing proposed the title of this article in Chinese and asked me to expound on the subject, with the hope that the explanation would also make it clear as to how to do visualization during recitation of mantras in general. Repetition of a mantra, or a holy epithet, need not be accompanied by visualization. One need only concentrate on continuation of the repetition. However, at the very beginning and the end of the repetition practice it would be better to visualize that all holy beings and all those sentient beings in Samsara are also doing the practice together. Repetition of Kurukulla's Heart Mantra as done by a practitioner visualizing oneself as Kurukulla can be performed according to the "Accomplishment" and "Spinning" sections in "Kurukulla Unification Sadhana." (They are quoted below for easy references.) During recitation of Kurukulla Heart Mantra in daily activities, be it walking, standing, sitting or lying, one may visualize Kurukulla as one fore-arm length in height and staying in the space above and in front of one, watching over one with compassion, or as staying one fore-arm length above one's head, and facing in the same direction as one. If Kurukulla had been adopted as one's Yidam, one would incessantly repeat the Heart Mantra in daily life, and in addition, one may visualize that the mantra wheel in the heart chakra continuously radiates red lights to bless all sentient beings. As to spinning of the mantra wheel, it is to be practiced only during a formal session of practice. As expounded above, a practitioner could easily infer therefrom as to how to apply them to visualization of repetition of other Yidams' mantras.
Disciple Jing Xing asked: Visualizing Kurukulla and Guru as "non-dual" means that Kurukulla and Guru are in oneness; is this correct? What would be the function of such view? Guru Lin replied: Correct. The whole Dharmadhatu is originally in limitless oneness; therefore, Kurukulla and Guru are originally in oneness. Reminding that they are "non-dual" so as to diminish the differentiating mentality of the practitioner, and thereby help the practitioner to attain sooner the original oneness. Believing that Kurukulla is Guru, one could easily receive Kurukulla's blessing directly. Believing that Guru is Kurukulla, one could easily receive Guru's blessing. October 6, 2008 Quoted from Kurukulla Unification Sadhana: 7. Accomplishment 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 moon cushion and a sun cushion. At the center of the sun cushion there appears a red seed word "Hrih" standing upright. Hrih transforms into Kurukulla with red brilliant rainbow body, appearing as a teenage maiden, who has one face, three eyes, four arms and complete with all adornments of a Sambhogakaya. Her red-orange hair streams upwards, she wears a crown of five skulls, a necklace of fifty freshly severed human heads. Her earrings, bracelets, necklaces, armlets, anklelets, etc. are ornaments of bone and jewels. Her first left hand holds a red upala flower bow and her first right hand holds an arrow, decorated with red upala flower, in shooting position and stretches the bow to its full. Her second right hand holds a red upala flower hook upwards, and her second left hand holds a rope of red upala flower downwards. She wears a tiger-skin skirt, standing in a dancing posture with the right leg drawn up and the left leg pressing on the heart area of the corpse of a female demon. She is completely surrounded by a circle of burning flames of wisdom fire, emitting great bright red lights. In the heart chakra of Kurukulla there is a lotus, above which is a moon cushion, and a sun cushion atop. Standing upright at the center of this sun cushion is a red seed word "Hrih," . Evenly distributed around and above the circumference of the sun cushion are the words constituting the Heart Mantra of Kurukulla. All words of this mantra wheel are red in color and are arranged clockwise in their regular order (as in the diagram below). The Mantra Wheel of Kurukulla’s Heart Mantra Weng Gu Lu Gu Li Ye Suo Ha 8.
