十八契印
Eighteen Mudras
從師獲灌頂，既蒙印可已，不久當成就。弟子具此相，方可為傳授，此即如意寶，能成就諸事業。如經說處所，山間及流水、清淨阿蘭若、隨樂之澗谷，離諸厄怖難。隨力嚴供具，行人面於本方拜禮本尊，次禮餘方佛，以五輪著地，如教之敬禮，雙膝長跪已，合掌虛心住，誠心盡說陳三業一切罪：
Having received empowerment from the teacher, and once you have been granted approval, you will soon attain accomplishment. Only a disciple who possesses these characteristics may be given the transmission. This is the wish-fulfilling jewel, capable of accomplishing all undertakings. As the sutra describes the proper place: among mountains, beside flowing water, in a pure and solitary retreat, in valleys and ravines that suit one's liking, free from all dangers and fears. Prepare offerings according to your means. The practitioner faces the direction of the principal deity and bows in reverence, then bows to the Buddhas in the remaining directions. Touching the ground with the five limbs, offer reverence as the teachings instruct. Having knelt with both knees on the ground, with palms joined and a humble mind, sincerely and completely confess all the negative actions of the three gates:
「我從過去世，流轉於生死，今對大聖尊，盡心而懺悔。如先佛所懺，我今如亦是，願垂加持力，眾生悉清淨。以此大願故，自他獲無垢。」
"I have wandered through birth and death throughout past lives. Now, before the Great Honored One, I confess with all my heart. As the Buddhas of old confessed, so too do I now confess. May your empowering grace descend, so that all beings may be purified. Through this great vow, both self and others attain purity."
密言曰：
Secret words:
「唵薩嚩(二合)婆嚩輸馱薩嚩達磨薩嚩(二合)婆嚩輸度唅」
Om, all beings are purified; all phenomena are purified. Ham.
次對本尊前，結跏趺坐或半跏趺坐，起大悲心：「我修此法為一切眾生，速證無上正等菩提。」先磨諸香以用塗手，然後結於佛部三昧耶陀羅尼印，以二手虛心合掌，開二頭指屈輔二中指上節，二大指屈輔二頭指下節，其印成，置印當心，想於如來三十二相八十種好，分明如對目前，至心誦真言七遍。真言曰：
Next, before the principal deity, sit in the full lotus position or the half lotus position, and give rise to great compassion: "I practice this Dharma for the sake of all sentient beings, so that they may quickly realize supreme, perfect Enlightenment." First, rub the various incenses to coat your hands, and then form the Buddha Family Samaya dharani mudra: with both hands join the palms together with a hollow space between them, open the two index fingers and bend them to press against the upper joints of the two middle fingers, bend the two thumbs to press against the lower joints of the two index fingers; when the mudra is formed, place it at the center of your chest and visualize the Tathagata's thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks, clearly as if before your eyes, and with wholehearted devotion recite the true words seven times. The true words are:
「唵怛他(引)蘖都納婆(二合)嚩(引)也娑嚩(二合引)訶(引)」
Om, the Tathagata's nature is born within me. Svaha.
由結此印及誦真言故，即警覺一切如來，悉當護念加持行者，以光明照觸，所有罪障皆得消滅，壽命長遠福慧增長，佛部聖眾擁護歡喜，生生世世離諸惡趣，蓮華化生速證無上正等菩提。
By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra, one immediately awakens all the Tathagatas, who will all protect, remember, and bless the practitioner. Illuminated and touched by their light, all karmic obstacles are eliminated, lifespan is extended, and merit and wisdom increase. The holy assembly of the Buddha family protects and rejoices over the practitioner. In life after life, one is forever free from the unfortunate realms, is born transformationally on a lotus, and swiftly realizes supreme, perfect Enlightenment.
次蓮華部三昧耶 以二手虛心合掌，散開二頭指二中指二無名指，屈如蓮華形安於當心，想觀自在菩薩相好具足，誦真言七遍於頂右散。真言曰：
Next, the Lotus Division samaya. With both hands joined in a hollow palm, spread apart the two index fingers, two middle fingers, and two ring fingers, bending them into the shape of a lotus and placing it at the center of your chest. Visualize Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva with fully complete excellent marks, recite the mantra seven times, then release it scattering to the right of your crown. The mantra is:
「唵跛娜謨(二合)納婆(二合)嚩(引)也娑嚩(二合引)訶(引)」
Oṃ padma nabha vāya svāhā.
由結此印及誦真言故，即警覺觀自在菩薩等持蓮華部聖眾，悉皆歡喜加持護念，一切菩薩光明照觸，所有業障皆得除滅，一切菩薩常為善友。
By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra, one immediately alerts Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva and the assembled noble ones of the Lotus Family, who abide in meditation. All of them rejoice, bestow their blessings, and protect and remember the practitioner. The light of all Bodhisattvas shines upon and touches the practitioner, and all karmic obstacles are removed and extinguished. All Bodhisattvas always become their good friends.
次結金剛部三昧耶印 以左手翻掌向外，以右手掌背安左手背，用左右大指小指互相鉤如金剛杵形，安置於當心想金剛手菩薩，誦真言七遍，頂上左散之。真言曰：
Next, form the vajra-family samaya mudra. Turn your left palm facing outward, place the back of your right hand against the back of your left hand, and hook the thumbs and little fingers of both hands around each other to form the shape of a vajra. Place it in front of your mind, visualize Bodhisattva Vajrapani, recite the mantra seven times, then release it above your head toward the left. The mantra says:
「唵嚩日盧(二合)納婆(二合)嚩(引)也娑嚩(二合)訶(引)」
Om Vajra-nabha-va Svaha
由結此印及誦真言故，即警覺一切金剛部聖眾加持擁護，所有罪障皆悉除滅，一切病苦痛不著身，當得金剛堅固之體。
By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra, one awakens all the holy beings of the Vajra Division, who grant their blessings and protection. All karmic obstructions are completely eradicated, all illnesses and painful suffering no longer affect the body, and one shall attain a body as indestructible as diamond.
次結護身三昧耶 以二手內相叉右押左，竪二手中指，屈二頭指如鉤形，於中指背勿令相著，並二大指押無名指即成。印身五處，所謂額，次右肩，次左肩，次心，次喉，於頂上散，各誦真言一遍。真言曰：
Next, form the body-protection samaya mudra: interlace the two hands inward with the right over the left; hold the two middle fingers upright; bend the two index fingers into hook shapes, resting them over the backs of the middle fingers without letting them touch; and press the two thumbs over the ring fingers. This completes the mudra. Seal it upon five places on the body: first the forehead, then the right shoulder, then the left shoulder, then the heart, then the throat, and finally release it above the crown of the head, reciting the mantra once at each place. The mantra says:
「唵嚩日羅(二合)銀儞(二合)鉢囉(二合引)捻跛跢(二合引)也娑嚩(二合)訶(引)」
Om Vajra Gini Pracanda Svaha
由結此印及誦真言加持故，即成被金剛甲冑，所有毘那夜迦及諸天魔作障礙者退散馳走，悉是見行者光明被身威德自在，若居山林及在險難皆悉無畏，水火等災一切厄難、虎狼獅子刀杖枷鎖如是等事皆悉消滅，見者歡喜，命終已後不墮惡趣，當生諸佛淨妙國土。
By forming this mudra and reciting the mantra with this empowerment, one is immediately clad in the armor of vajra. All Vinayakas and demons, celestial maras, and any who create obstacles flee and scatter. All of them see the practitioner's body radiant with light, majestic and free in virtuous power. Whether dwelling in mountain forests or in places of danger and difficulty, one is entirely without fear. Calamities of water and fire, all disasters and misfortunes, tigers, wolves, lions, swords, staffs, and chains — all such things are completely dispelled. Those who see one are filled with joy. After the end of life, one does not fall into the lower realms but is born into the pure and wondrous lands of the Buddhas.
次結地界真言印 右無名指入左無名指小指內，右中指入左中指頭指內，左亦如之，餘指並頭相拄，即想印成火焰金剛杵形，以大指著地掣之，一掣一誦至三便止，隨意大小標心，即成堅固地界。真言曰：
Next, form the mudra for the earth-boundary mantra. Place the right ring finger inside the left ring finger and little finger; place the right middle finger inside the left middle finger and index finger; arrange the left hand the same way. Bring the remaining fingertips together, tip to tip. Then visualize the mudra becoming a vajra in the shape of a flame. Press the thumbs to the ground and draw them back; draw back once and recite once, up to three times, then stop. Mark out the boundary as large or small as you wish, and it becomes a solid earth boundary. The mantra says:
「唵枳里枳里縛日羅(二合引)縛日里(二合)部律(二合半音)滿馱滿駄吽發吒(半音)」
Om, kili kili, vajra vajri, bhurimaṇḍa maṇḍa, hūṃ phaṭ.
由結此印及誦真言加持地界故，下至水際如金剛座，天魔及諸障者不為惱害，少加功力速得成就。
Because this mudra is bound and the true word is recited to empower the boundary of the ground, down to the water's edge it becomes like the Diamond Seat. Heavenly demons and all obstructing forces cannot cause harm, and with only a little effort one quickly attains accomplishment.
次結方隅金剛牆真言印 準前地界印，開二大指竪之側如牆形，想印如金剛杵形，右遶身三轉標心大小，即成金剛堅固之城，諸佛菩薩尚不違越，何況諸餘難調伏者，毘那夜迦及毒蟲利牙爪者不能輔近。真言曰：
「唵薩羅薩羅縛日羅(二合)鉢羅(二合)迦(引)羅吽(引)發吒(半音)」
行者次應想於壇中八葉大蓮華上有獅子座，座上有七寶樓閣，垂諸瓔珞繒綵幡蓋，寶柱行列，垂妙天衣周布香雲，普雨雜花奏諸音樂，寶瓶閼伽天妙飲食，摩尼為燈。作此觀已而誦此偈：

十八契印者，傳云惠果和尚製，或云弘法大師作。今按三十帖冊子目錄云：「大聖歡喜天經一卷(不空譯末有十八道頸次第)」又云：「梵字十八道真言」。以此思之，大師據件二本記之乎。
十八契印生起略頌(就生起意)：
一莊嚴行者五種， 淨佛蓮金及被甲，
二者結界法二種， 一地結二金剛牆，
三者莊嚴道場二， 道場虛空普供養，
四者勸請法三種， 送車請車亦奉請，
五者結護法三種， 當部明王網火院，
六者供養法三種， 閼伽花座普供養，
初二供養別供也， 唯別奉獻本尊供，
後一供養總供也， 獻本尊及諸聖眾，
總六別十八軌則， 是名十八契印耳。
生起次第如何者？ 欲入祕密總持門，
先須調淨莊嚴身； 既身調淨莊嚴者，
亦應加持淨界地； 既界地加持事修者，
當須莊嚴於道場； 既亦道場莊嚴者，
應請本尊大聖尊； 既得奉請聖尊者，
勇猛精進結護法， 結護內外無障礙，
然後當致供養也， 不起于座成悉地。
