Chapter 6: Reciting the Mantra
(若不誦楞嚴呪。應初誦大悲呪灑淨畢即。請三寶諸天。今當誦十小呪。至功德天呪。須誦七遍。召請彼天。及天眷屬等。如誦楞嚴呪及十呪。至天女呪。亦須誦七徧。以召彼天等。呪曰)。
If you are not reciting the Shurangama Mantra, first recite the Great Compassion Mantra to purify the space. Then, invite the Three Jewels and the heavenly beings. Now, I will recite the Ten Minor Mantras. When reaching the Mantra of Merit Deity, it must be recited seven times to summon that deity and their retinue. If reciting the Shurangama Mantra and the Ten Mantras, when reaching the Mantra of the Heavenly Maiden, it must also be recited seven times to summon that deity and others. The mantra is as follows:
南無佛陀。南無達摩。南無僧伽。南無室利摩訶提鼻耶。怛儞也他波唎富樓那遮唎 三曼陀達舍尼摩訶毗訶羅伽帝 三曼陀毗尼伽帝 摩訶迦利野 波禰波羅波禰 薩利嚩栗他 三曼陀修鉢梨帝 富𨽻那。阿夜那達摩帝 摩訶毗鼓畢帝摩訶彌勒帝 婁簸僧祇帝醯帝簁 僧祇醯帝三曼陀 阿咃 何㝹婆囉尼
Homage to the Buddha. Homage to the Dharma. Homage to the Sangha. Homage to the Noble, Great, and Compassionate One.
Thus it is said: O Paripūrṇa, O Protector, O Samantadāśani, O Mahāvihāragati, O Samantavinīgati, O Mahākalyāṇa, O Paniparipani, O Sarvārthasādhaka, O Samantasupāriti, O Pūrṇa, O Āyatanadharmagati, O Mahāvikurvite, O Mahāmaitrigati, O Lobhasamgitīti, O Samgitīti, O Samanta, O Aṭa, O Anupalāṇi.
(誦已祝延。宣疏意。叩首起立。端身合掌。整心殷重。存想三寶諸天八部。畟塞虗空。應現道場。方伸供養也)。
After reciting the dedication and announcing the prayer's intent, bow and rise. Stand upright, join your palms together, and with a sincere and focused mind, visualize the Three Jewels, the heavenly beings, and the eight classes of protectors filling the entire space, manifesting within the sacred assembly hall. Only then proceed to make the offerings.
