The Increasing Circle

增長壇城

25.1“To perform the increasing rite, draw a nine-compartment circle with an inner and outer rim on birch bark, using either saffron or bezoar. In the central compartment write sarvapuṣṭiṃ kuru oṁ a, and in each of the eight inner compartments, write oṁ. In the eight outer compartments, write oṁ oṁ oṁ | oṁ tā oṁ | oṁ re oṁ | oṁ tut oṁ | oṁ tā oṁ | oṁ re oṁ | oṁ tu oṁ | oṁ re oṁ. Then place the circle inside a clay amulet and worship it with yellow flowers, such as the nāga flower, and the five offerings at the four times each day for seven days, starting on the full moon. Your lifespan and merit will thereby be increased.”

25.1「為了進行增法儀軌,在樺樹皮上畫一個具有內外邊框的九格壇城,用番紅花或牛黃繪製。在中央格子裡寫上『一切增長唵啊』,在八個內部格子裡各寫『唵』。在八個外部格子裡寫上『唵 唵 唵 | 唵 怛 唵 | 唵 惹 唵 | 唵 突 唵 | 唵 怛 唵 | 唵 惹 唵 | 唵 突 唵 | 唵 惹 唵』。然後將壇城放入一個泥製的護符中,用黃色花朵(如龍花)和五供養物,在每天的四個時間點進行禮拜,持續七天,從滿月開始。這樣你的壽命和福報就會增長。」
