文／蓮生活佛 盧勝彥
密教修法，有「前行」、「正行」、「後行」。以下是「正行」的大要：
行者坐於壇城的本尊之前，結了本尊手印，觀想本尊了了分明在行者之正前上方。本尊放大光明，照耀十法界一切眾生，十法界一切眾生被本尊菩提心光明照射之後，無始以來一切罪障、一切業障、一切魔難、一切病難、一切災難等悉消除、悉消滅，十法界一切眾皆發菩提心，行菩薩道、行佛道。
再觀想十法界一切眾生皆轉成本尊，放大光明，合一在行者面前。合一後之本尊再放光照射行者，以光灌頂行者，使行者無始以來一切罪障、一切業障、一切魔難、一切病難、一切災難等化為黑氣，從毛細孔排出消散。行者發菩提心，行菩薩道，行佛道。
三想本尊由「頂」進入行者中脈，坐於行者心際蓮花之上，本尊放光與行者大小完全一模一樣，剎那間，行者即本尊，本尊即行者，無二無別。
收回手印觸頂散印。
持本尊咒百○八遍以上，或千○八十遍，愈多愈好。
持完咒，改結三昧耶定印，觀想自己進入「嗡」，「嗡」進入月輪，月輪收攝成光明一點，明點直入虛空，融於虛空，虛空之外，更無身心。
我即虛空，虛空即我，如來如來，常寂無住。
我教真佛弟子如此觀修，每日一修，或每日三修，這是密教修法之中最為第一的正行大要。
「正行」包括：觀想、持咒、入三昧地。
Essentials of Vajrayana Practice

Vajrayana practice involves the preparatory procedures, the main procedures, and the concluding procedures. Here are the essentials of the main procedures of Vajrayana practice.
The practitioner sits before the personal deity at the mandala shrine, forms the deity’s mudra and visualizes the deity appearing clearly in the upper space in front of the practitioner. The personal deity radiates a brilliance of light and illuminates all sentient beings of the ten dharma realms. Once illuminated by the radiance of the deity’s bodhicitta, countless eons of transgressions, karma, mara hindrances, illnesses and calamities weighing on these sentient beings are being removed and eliminated. All sentient beings of the ten dharma realms shall generate bodhicitta and practice the path of bodhisattvahood and buddhahood.
Next, visualize all sentient beings of the ten Dharma realms transformed into the bodies of the personal deity, each radiating lights, then combined to form a single personal deity before the practitioner. The personal deity radiates light towards the practitioner, empowering him so that all his past eons of transgressions, karma, and mara hindrances, illnesses and calamities are transformed into streams of dark energy which are released through the pores. The practitioner shall generate bodhicitta, and practice the path of bodhisattvahood and buddhahood
Next, visualize the personal deity entering into the central channel through the top of the crown of the practitioner, and sits on the lotus located at the heart chakra of the practitioner. The deity radiates light, and enlarges to the exact size of the practitioner. In an instant, the practitioner is the deity, and the deity becomes the practitioner, both indivisible and indistinguishable from each other.
Release the mudra by touching the head. Recite the deity’s mantra 108 times or more, or one thousand and eighty times. The more recitations performed the better it is.
When you complete your recitation, form the Samaya Stability Mudra, and imagine yourself entering into the seed syllable OM. The syllable OM then enters into the moon disc. The moon disc shrinks into a drop of light which shoots straight into space and merges with space. Beyond space there is no existence of body and mind.
I am space, and space is me. Tathagata, the Thus Come One, remains in constant stillness and non-abiding.
I teach my True Buddha disciples how to visualize and cultivate in this way, practicing once a day or three times a day. It is the most supreme form of the main procedures in Vajrayana practice.
The main procedures includes visualization, mantra recitation, and entering into Samadhi.
