文／蓮生活佛 盧勝彥
密教行者修法久久，極想親睹天宮勝景，或想入龍宮，或阿蘇羅宮，或大山神的窟門，始終不得見，不得入。
早期薩迦證空上師，祕密的傳下一法如下：
行者取五層塔、七層塔，大小不拘，建立塔的壇城，隨力以香花供養。行者唸誦，手結根本印，誦真言，順時鐘繞塔而行，誦真言達六十萬遍，以根本印印塔。
根本印印塔七次，誦咒七回，即說：
七箇根本印。
印開十六丈。
南天鐵塔開。
行者自進來。
（十六丈表徵金剛界之十六菩薩）
在當夜，本尊就現了身，帶領著行者進入天宮之中，或龍宮，或阿蘇羅宮，或大山神的窟門，進入後，可得天妙甘露，或食法藥，或得到寶貴的法藏密法，或親聞菩薩的開示，真的殊勝非凡。
我記得我一個人旅行日本時，到了「河口湖」，當夜雨下個不止，小小的旅館竟然滿位，我在富士山下的「河口湖」非常徬徨，幸好旅館的櫃台，幫我找到服務人員的休息房間暫時棲身，當夜，即進入富士山山神的洞窟，受到了富士山大山神的招待，等於住在富士山山神的大宮殿中，這正是修過「入天宮法」的感應啊！
進入天宮之後，求息災得息災，求增益得增益，求敬愛得敬愛，求降伏得降伏，一切最是如意吉祥。
The Secret of Entering the Celestial Palaces

Any Vajrayana practitioner who has been practicing for some time may long for a glimpse of the Celestial Palaces, or wish to enter the Dragon Palace, the Asura Palaces, or the abode of the great mountain gods, but denied the experience.
In the early days of my training, Vajra Acharya Sakya Zheng-kong secretly imparted such a method to me which is detailed as follows:
The practitioner first obtains a five or seven storey stupa (or pagoda) of any size and build a mandala around the stupa. Make an offering of flowers to the stupa, as you can afford, and recite a certain mantra with the hand forming the root mudra. Circumambulate the stupa in a clockwise manner and recite the mantra up to sixty thousand times. With the root mudra one touches the stupa.
Touch the stupa seven times with the root mudra, and recite the mantra seven times. Then recite these words:
With these seven root mudras
Release the seal to the sixteen senior beings
As the Iron Gate of Southern India opens
The practitioner shall find his way in.
(The sixteen senior beings refers to the sixteen bodhisattvas in the Vajradhatu Mandala)
On that very night, the personal deity shall appear and lead the practitioner into the celestial palaces or dragon palace, or asura palaces or the abodes of the great mountain gods, and upon entering the palaces, the practitioner shall be rewarded with wonderful nectar or dharma medicinal pills, perhaps receive the precious Tantric treasury, or a personal discourse given by a bodhisattva. It would be most extraordinary.
I remember I once traveled alone to Japan, and upon arriving at Lake Kawaguchi, the place was raining non-stop that evening, and the inn was filled to capacity. I felt lost at this inn which was situated at Lake Kawaguchi beneath Mount Fuji. Fortunately, the inn’s receptionist found me a temporary room reserved for the caretakers. That night, I entered into the abode of the God of Mount Fuji and received a grand reception from the mountain god himself. I had in fact stayed in the grand palace of the God of Mount Fuji. This was a result of having practiced the method of entering palaces.
When you gain entrance into the celestial palaces, should you wish for purification, enrichment, magnetization or subjugation, your wish shall be fulfilled. Everything shall be auspicious.
