| 大光明咒和金刚沙有消灾、增益、开光洒净、超度亡灵等作用。持大光明咒加持的金刚沙，能救度一切亡灵，即使死去多年，已落三恶道者，也可得以超拔救度。 | The Great Light Mantra and Vajra Sand have such functions as averting disasters, increasing benefit, consecrating and purifying, and delivering the departed. Vajra Sand empowered by recitation of the Great Light Mantra can liberate all departed spirits. Even those who have died many years ago and fallen into the three lower realms may be uplifted and delivered. |
| 元音老人《问答集》摘录：65问：超度亡灵念什么咒好？ | Excerpt from Master Yuanyin’s Questions and Answers: Question 65: What mantras are best for delivering the departed? |
| 答：可念“听闻解脱咒”、“本觉大密咒”、“六道金刚咒”、“地藏菩萨真言”、“大光明咒”，最重要的是这几个咒。中阴阶段念这几个咒非常重要，要多念，这些咒作用很大。 | Answer: One may recite the “Mantra of Liberation through Hearing,” the “Great Secret Mantra of Primordial Awakening,” the “Six Realms Vajra Mantra,” the “Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva Mantra,” and the “Great Light Mantra.” These are the most important mantras. It is especially important to recite them frequently during the intermediate state, for they are very efficacious. |
| 可制作“金刚沙”，方法是：一盒沙，洗净、晒干，用一根针穿一条红丝线，将针插在沙里面，红丝线头捏在左手无名指根部，结金刚拳印，右手照着沙，念十万八千遍，这个沙就能救度一切亡灵。即使死了很多年的亡灵，已落入三恶道，只要在他的尸体上或骨灰上，从脚往头上洒上去，就可以超生天界。其它的咒就可以不要念了。 | One may prepare “Vajra Sand” as follows: Take a box of sand, wash it clean, and dry it in the sun. Thread a red silk cord through a needle and insert the needle into the sand. Hold the end of the red cord at the base of the ring finger of the left hand, form the vajra-fist mudrā, point the right hand toward the sand, and recite [the mantra] 108,000 times. This sand can then liberate all departed spirits. Even if a departed spirit has been dead for many years and has fallen into the three lower realms, one need only scatter the sand over the corpse or ashes, from the feet toward the head, and that being may be reborn in the heavenly realms. There is then no need to recite other mantras. |
| 元音老人开示录音：要度亡，这个人死了不问多少时，只要拿这个沙，他假如有棺材，就从这个棺材的这个脚往头上撒，啊，他纵然落入三恶道，也能把他拔出来升天，所以这个咒威力很大。 | Recording of Master Yuanyin’s teachings: To deliver the deceased, regardless of how long the person has been dead, simply take this sand. If there is a coffin, scatter it from the foot of the coffin toward the head. Even if the deceased has fallen into the three lower realms, this can draw them out and raise them to heaven. Thus, this mantra has great power. |
| 使用方法：如有尸身或棺材，即从脚向头撒；已成骨灰的，可撒在骨灰、骨灰盒或坟头之上。 | Method of use: If there is a body or coffin, scatter it from the feet toward the head. If the body has been cremated, it may be scattered over the ashes, the urn, or the grave mound. |
| 出 处：《不空羂索毗卢遮那佛大灌顶光真言经》云：若诸众生具造十恶五逆四重诸罪。犹如微尘满斯世界。身坏命终堕诸恶道。以是真言加持土沙一百八遍。尸陀林中散亡者尸骸上。或散墓上。遇皆散之。 | Source: The Amoghapāśa Vairocana Buddha Great Empowerment Light Dhāraṇī Sūtra states: “If sentient beings have committed all ten evil acts, the five heinous offenses, and the four grave offenses—sins as numerous as the motes of dust filling this world—and when their bodies decay and their lives end, they fall into the evil realms: empower earth or sand with this true word 108 times, and scatter it over the corpse or bones of the deceased in a charnel ground, or scatter it over a grave. Whenever one encounters [such remains], scatter it.” |
| 彼所亡者。若地狱中若饿鬼中。若修罗中若傍生中。以一切不空如来不空毗卢遮那如来真实本愿大灌顶光真言神通威力加持沙土之力。应时即得光明及身除诸罪报舍所苦身。往于西方极乐国土。莲华化生乃至菩提更不堕落。 | “For the deceased person, whether in hell, among hungry ghosts, among asuras, or among animals, through the power of sand and earth empowered by the spiritual powers and force of the true original vow of the Great Empowerment Light Mantra of all the unfailing Tathāgatas, the unfailing Vairocana Tathāgata, that being immediately obtains light, is freed in body from all karmic retribution and abandons the body of suffering. They proceed to the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss, are born by transformation in a lotus, and, until bodhi, never fall again.” |
