Mandala Vajra realm mandala, also known as Western mandala, fruit mandala, moon wheel mandala, is one of the two tantric mandalas.

Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Diamond Sutra" as its basis.

The Vajra realm mandala is composed of nine mandala clubs, so it is also called the Nine Societies Mandala, the Vajra Nine Societies Mandala, and the Vajra Realm Nine Societies Mandala.

Among the nine associations, the first seven will be the vajra realm products, and the first six will be the self-nature reincarnation of the great day; The latter two meetings (i.e., the eighth and ninth meetings) are the products of the three worlds, all of which are the reincarnations of the decree of the Great Ri Nyorai, and are collectively known as the mandalas of the Vajra realm.

The upper end of the image is western, and the vertical and horizontal sides are divided into three, so there are nine guilds in total.

In the center of the picture is the enlightenment meeting, such as the great day of the coming of the traces for the transformation of all bodies, in order to help sentient beings, then it is the order from effect to cause.

According to "from effect to cause"

The meaning of the lower turnstile is that the first meeting is the formation meeting, and the order from the bottom to the left is: 1. The formation will become the body, also known as the karma meeting.

It is the largest of the four mandalas.

Arranged into a cross with five round wheels, equivalent to five Buddhas, the center is the great day as it comes, and its surroundings are four paramita bodhisattvas, each of the four sides has a moon wheel, and each has a Buddha inside, so there are "four Buddhas in the four directions"

In other words, the four Buddhas are also arranged in the same formation, each with four close to the Bodhisattva, so there are a total of sixteen Bodhisattvas; In addition, there are eight inner and outer offering Bodhisattvas, four Bodhisattvas, tantric support of the heavens and a thousand Buddhas, a total of 161.

The picture shows the reality of the Buddha's fruit, and also shows the practitioner's appearance of becoming a Buddha according to the five phases and three secrets, hence the name of the Buddha's experience.

This meeting is the sum of the following eight mandalas, so it is also known as the root meeting.

There are thirty-seven statues in total.

2. Samaya SocietySamaya Society, also known as Karma Society.

The attainment of the deities is the samaya mandala of the four kinds of mandalas.

It is a form in which each deity is represented by a scepter, a seal, and other samayas that symbolize his oath.

That is, in the central moon ring, there are many pagodas solemnly formed by Yingluo, wind wheels, etc., symbolizing the samaya body of the great sun, and the five-strand vajra is placed horizontally under the tower body, representing the samaya shape of the five wisdoms.

The three forms of the four Buddhas of the four directions are: the Buddha of the East is the vertical vajra, the Buddha of the South is the jewel, the Buddha of the West is the lotus, and the Buddha of the North is the karma pestle.

The rest of the ** Bodhisattvas, the Eight Offering Bodhisattvas, the Four Bodhisattvas, etc., are also represented in the form of samayas.

There are 37 statues in total, and the position is roughly the same as that of the Enlightenment Society.

3. The micro-micro-meeting is also known as the karma meeting and the vajra micro-meeting.

It is the mandala of the four types of mandalas.

That is, all the deities enter into each other's samaya bodies, all of them are in the three vajra, and the three strands represent the achievement of righteousness, so it is called karma.

Its phase is subtle, and the difference between the mind and Buddha and all living beings cannot be obtained.

In order to show "a statue with the virtue of all respects"

Therefore, the mandala means that each deity has five wisdoms, boundless wisdom, and other subtle wisdoms.

There are thirty-seven statues in total.

4. The Offering Association is also known as the Great Offering Association.

It is the karma mandala of the four types of mandalas.

This will present the meaning of mutual offerings to the deities, so the image of the deities, in addition to the five Buddhas, the rest of the ** Bodhisattva, the four Bodhisattvas, the eight offering Bodhisattvas, etc., are all fists with their left hands, holding lotus flowers in their right hands, and placing samaya on them.

That is, all the deities are holding their samaya in the shape of a lotus flower, in order to support the heart king of the great day, so the name of the offering association, to provide for the cause.

There are thirty-seven statues in total.

5. The four seals will be the above four meetings, and the four of the three dharmas will be different from each other.

However, the four mans are integrated with each other without separation, and in order to show this meaning, the four mans will be in one place and the four seals will be the four seals.

Four seals, this will mean "four men do not leave"

The righteousness of the four men in a meeting.

In its schema, the center is the Great Ri Nyorai, and the four Buddhas of Vajrasattva, Guanyin, Void Tibet, and Vishou Karma are placed in the four corners of the Great Circle Wheel, and the four corners of the Great Circle Wheel are placed in the form of the four paramitas of the bodhisattvas (five-strand pestle, orb, lotus, and karma), and the four bodhisattvas of the four bodhisattvas such as Vajrasattva, Mantra, Song, and Dance (three-strand pestle, flower, gonghou, and karma).

The great sun in the picture symbolizes the four mans, and the four paramita bodhisattvas symbolize the four mans in turn.

There are thirteen in total.

6. Although the five wisdom perfections and the only dharma body will be four mans in one place, the bodhisattva still has different appearances, and the second seal will be the next one, then the four mans will be different from each other, and they will all be attributed to the extreme principle of one reality, so there will only be one statue of the great day.

One seal meeting, this meeting means that all the four human beings are attributed to the righteousness of the sea of non-duality.

Its schema, which presents a simple pattern of the Great Day Nyorai, is used in the Tantric practice, especially for the cultivation of the Great Day One Figure.

The Great Day Nyorai sits on the big moon wheel in the picture, wears the crown of the five Buddhas, wears a white heavenly robe, and lives in the seal of the wisdom fist.

It symbolizes the righteousness of the five wisdoms and the only Dharma body.

The above six associations are all centered on the Great Day Nyorai, which is a mandala for the self-reincarnation.

The Great Day, the self-nature of all beings, the local Buddha body, hence the name of the self-nature reincarnation.

7. The Rational Fun Society is a mandala centered on Vajrasattva.

The body of the Great Day Nyorai Cash Gangsata is also known as the Dharma Wheel Body of the Dharma and the Dharma Wheel Mandala.

The rational interest shown by this club does not change the appearance of people's desire to touch the four troubles of love, but directly turns into the dependents of Bodhi.

This clearly shows that ordinary people are also the profound beings of the Buddhas.

Its schema, the center is the Vajrasattva wearing the crown of the five wisdom treasures on the head, the four vajra such as desire, touch, love, and slowness are placed in the four directions, and the four vajra women such as Yisheng, Jirijiro, Aile, and Yiqi are placed in the four corners; The outer courtyard houses the four bodhisattvas and the four inner offering bodhisattvas, such as vajra, mantra, song and dance.

However, the position of the four bodhisattvas inside and outside this association is the opposite of the other associations, which means that there is no obstacle to the integration of the inside and outside.

There are seventeen in total.

8. The third karma will descend to the third karma meeting, abbreviated as the third karma meeting.

This will signify the appearance of the body of wrath in order to subdue the strong and difficult beings.

Although the Great Day Nyorai uses the Dharma Wheel to capture the lives of the people, but the Great Freedom Heaven is strong and difficult to transform, it is not within the reach of the Dharma-rectification method, so it has to descend to the third Ming King with wrath to subdue him and make him obey the fatwa.

Generally speaking, the past, present, and future are three lifetimes.

Here these three worlds are the meaning of the three poisons and the three worlds, covering the troubles of greed and ignorance, subduing the delusion of the desire world, the color world, and the colorless world, so that they can become enlightened, so they are called the three worlds.

The third king of the Ming Dynasty stepped on the great freedom of heaven and the concubine of Wumo, and these two heavens are personified obstacles of affliction and knowledge.

The obstacle of affliction hinders Nirvana, and the obstacle of knowledge hinders Bodhi, and if it is not destroyed, it cannot become a Buddha.

The number of honorifics of the two councils is slightly the same, the eighth will be the great mandala, and the ninth will be the wrath of the eight honorable people.

In its schema, the central day of the Great Sun lives in the seal of the Wisdom Fist, showing the shape of subduing the four demons.

The four Buddhas of the four directions and the ** Bodhisattva are also fist-fighting, especially the appearance of Vajrasattva's three-sided and eight-armed descending three generations of wrathful kings is more specific.

The four corners of the outer Vajra Department are placed in the four kings of Vajra Nakshatra, Jundari, Daweide, and Fudong; Or it is said to place the four concubines of color, sound, fragrance, and taste.

There are seventy-seven statues in total.

9. The third samaya will descend to the third samaya meeting, which will represent the righteousness of the great day to subdue the great freedom of the heavens.

The number of honors and the arrangement of the honorables of this meeting are exactly the same as those of the upper and lower three worlds.

However, the arrangement of the samaya forms is different; The third meeting of the Gai Yixia is to show the full appearance of the cause of the deity, and this meeting will show the virtue of the inner evidence of the deity.

The samaya of Vajrasattva in the picture is in the form of an eight-spoke wheel, which is a tool of destruction, symbolizing the solid and pure bodhichitta inherent in all beings, and the great freedom of heaven in the picture symbolizes fundamental ignorance, so it will present the ritual of expelling the dirt and dirt in the practitioner's mind with the pure wisdom of self-nature.

If you turn upwards in reverse, the stage of enlightenment is the order from cause to effect.

If we follow the principle of "from cause to effect"

As far as the above turnstile is concerned, its meaning is to indicate the stage of the bodhisattva's practice, or the stage of the true word and deed, to break the obstacles and develop the mind, that is: 1. The first meeting is to reverse the obedience and refer to the descent of the three worlds of samayas, that is, the descent of the three kings of the three worlds to appear in the form of samayas, to subdue the three poisons of greed and ignorance, in order to remove the obstacles to enlightenment.

2. From the samaya form to the karma body, the appearance of great wrath, the left foot tramples on the great freedom in the sky, symbolizing the elimination of the obstacle of afflictions, and the right foot trampling on the concubine of Umo, symbolizing the severance of the obstacle of knowledge, which is the descending of the third karma meeting.

3. Since the first two will cut off the three poisons and two obstacles, then the rational interest of Prajna will be obtained, such as the seventeen deities that symbolize the inner and outer states of mind, such as desire, touch, love, slowness, etc., all manifest the original unborn body (Prajnaparamita), which is the rational interest meeting.

4. When attaining the concept of the five phases, the practitioner himself is the body of the Buddha-figure of the Great Day, and it is the body of all the deities in one, which is the one seal meeting.

5. It is necessary to get the blessing of the four Buddhas to determine the righteousness of becoming a Buddha.

6. All the deities are presented to the Great Day with crowns, flowers and other gifts, presenting the ritual of offering to the Buddhas, which is the offering meeting.

7. Manifest his body of use, and there is a manifestation of the wisdom body, the wisdom body, the four clarities, etc., showing the appearance of meditation that pervades the subtle vajra, which is the subtle meeting.

8. In the view of the dojo, the knot is like a fist seal, which is transformed into a samaya form from the word seed, which is the samaya meeting.

9. The transformation from the form of a samaya into the majestic and sufficient Virujana Nyorai karma body, this is the karma meeting.

There are a total of 1,461 statues in all nine associations, namely 136 Buddha bodies, 297 bodhisattvas, four wrathful bodies, four vajra gods, and one or two outer vajra parts

The second mandala is the 1st Satta, the 2nd 3rd 3rd Samaya, the 4th 4th Seal, the 5th Offerings, the 6th Karma, the 71st Seal, the 8th Karma, and the 9th Samaya.

This time the first means that from self-proof to self-proof, from self-proof to self-proof, from self-proof to self-proof.
