Scripture of the Primordial Manifestations and Transformations

When the trunks of the wooden grove are damaged in that place? and ruined?, or when fine wool original: "氎毛" (diemao); refers to high-quality cotton or woolen fabric, often used in Buddhist offerings grows mold between them, it is like stone. Or when filth permeates everything—these are all examples of things becoming mixed and muddled. They fall into ruin and become decayed. If one is subjected to such defilement and dregs, it is better to be a stagnant spirit in the Yellow Springs The underworld or the realm of the dead than to be like a weed growing in floating soil, joining a company of cave-dwellers.

Or consider those who make a living by the net, making the slaughter of animals their theme. They slaughter ducks to satisfy their appetite or because they desire the pelts and feathers. Even with a body destined for the Eight Constellations Likely referring to the karmic destiny governed by the stars, or a presence as grand as the Golden Mountain original: "金山"; a metaphor for the Buddha's body or a sacred peak, they shall eventually face death. The Wa Possibly a reference to a specific ethnic group or a regional term for "bowmen" bend their bows and aim at the sky. Such people speak only empty and boastful words; though they seek to extend their lives, they are not yet truly "living." They scatter and amuse themselves, while their companions remain whole.

If one frequently boasts of minor accomplishments while burdened by heavy sins, or takes advantage of human sentiment to deceive others—claiming it is for the sake of making a living, and not "my" doing—this is not the true Law. It is not the Law that exists. One who harms others while seeking a famous reputation, or who rushes to give offerings out of a desire for praise with eyes wide with pride, has not yet recognized the "Grand Time." Perhaps they were once imprisoned; I know their worldly nature and their strange circumstances—their words are truly bizarre. Perhaps they are monks, or perhaps they are in debt, or perhaps they have broken the precepts, or broken their fast with a shallow belly. Such people have not obtained divine guidance; their thoughts are focused on pungent spices, drinking wine, and eating meat.

For those who behave this way—teaching others to do the same—there is now a special feeling of grief. I wish to begin a new continuity and never again dare to dwell in such states. I only pray that the various Immortals will preserve her life and come to save her on the path. This is not a path toward early extinction; therefore, I constantly pray to cross over, that her illness may diminish and her will remain strong. With words of devotion, her fame shall cross the mirror of history.

Entering the "Silver Eyes" and then leaping into the "Harmonious Selection of the Law," she shall dwell there. Outside her crown, she shall destroy the spirits of obstacles and break the Barbarian Army original: "胡軍" (hujun); while it can mean a literal foreign army, in this religious context it often refers to internal "demons" or obstacles to enlightenment. From the coldness of birth, she shall hear the thirst of the spirit. With a modest heart and firm resolve, she serves the Wind God. The original theme of the town is not obscured, and the status of the Commandery is preserved.

Her name is tied to the harvest. Now, because of her, the heroic spirit is stirred throughout the region. The Adjutant original: "尉" (wei); a local military or administrative official coordinates with her; his heart is of the highest order, cherishing her like his own eyes and ears. The State and the Altars of Soil and Grain original: "國家社稷" (guojia sheji); a traditional term for the nation must rely on the wise and the good. If it seems there is no power, one must request the heroic and the responsible to govern the secular world. The common people have long enjoyed her sparse favors; the travelers and the local tribes maintain their old faith.

On this day, the Tsenpo original: "贊普"; the title for the Emperor of the Tibetan Empire, indicating this text was written during the period of Tibetan rule in Dunhuang of great kindness... to the West, the wheels turn and the wind sighs, completing the ritual. Upon the tripod, the Law is practiced. I have recently heard of the transition and arrangement; it is a matter of joy, not...

Although it is said that former luck makes one live in seclusion, like a man knocking on his horse, I return again... He is fundamentally a Dharma Master; if not for this, we would not meet again in the worldly realm.

Respectfully, we establish faith and manage the wealth, making a noise in the world through this "Worldly Legacy." Therefore, we return to the previous ranks; the Cover and Crown Signs of high rank or religious status are finally fixed in the traditional records.
Faith is the Way; the Worldly Legacy is cultivated; the special Cover and Crown are for the Proclamation of the Ceremony.

Life follows its course into old age. This is no hollow appearance of the Duke, but a true representation of the source. The divine efficacy shines brightly; the drums of grace are sounded in peace and auspiciousness. We cherish the carved jade of her eyes as we view the fragrance of her legacy in our leisure.

In the "Heavenly South," we present the Imperial Registry original: "帝籍"; the records of the heavens or the imperial court. Before the celestial jade descends, the Dragon Gods grant the Way. We sigh in beauty, and from the air, we embrace the songs of praise. Her abundant merit should be determined by this scene of blessing. Do not rely on the ford of difficulty, but fill and adorn this single chamber. The divine praise of the Sovereign's music fills the ancestral hall.
