The Auspicious Grand Dharma Assembly of the Buddha-Mother Mahāmāyūrī (Peacock King), for Universal Blessings and Deliverance of All Beings, Accompanied by the Magnificent Nine-Mandala Grand Fire Puja

What is “yin debt”? Why must it be repaid?

 “Yin debt” refers to the karmic debts we have accumulated throughout countless cycles of reincarnation in the six realms, owed to sentient beings with whom we share karmic ties (such as past enemies or karmic creditors), as well as to celestial or earthly deities. It includes the karmic offenses you have committed in the heavens or under the earth, as well as the endless karmic debts accumulated by your ancestors over seven or nine generations. This is believed to be the hidden force that causes misfortune in wealth, obstacles in career, and frequent illness in the present life.

Although yin debt cannot be seen with the naked eye, it is believed to truly exist within the energetic layers of the spiritual realm. Many people's illnesses, accidents, and financial difficulties are often said to be caused by being entangled in yin debts and by the karmic retribution that follows.

In the Peacock King Dharma Assembly, through the majestic power of the Buddha Mother Mahāmāyūrī (Peacock King) and the contractual force of practice shared across the Ten Dharma Realms, one can summon karmic creditors and sentient beings with whom one has past connections. Within this powerful energetic field, one's accumulated merit is transformed into "repayment", clearing karmic debts from past lifetimes, achieving reconciliation, and enabling those beings to let go of attachment and cease their demands for retribution.

When yin debts are resolved, karmic creditors transform their anger into protection. The obstacles of the past then become supportive forces, allowing one's wealth, health, relationships, and career to flow smoothly and radiantly once again.

Why Is It Essential to Liberate the Nine Generations of Ancestors?

Science has already confirmed that 96% of the universe consists of invisible, subtle dimensions, which are precisely where souls reside. The souls of our ancestors, due to their individual karmic causes and effects, continue to exist within different levels of this space after departing the human world. The spatial structure is divided into ten realms in total: the Four Noble Realms, the Three Good Paths, and the Three Evil Paths.

We carry our ancestors' DNA within us, and quantum entanglement theory suggests that the happiness or suffering of our ancestors in the spiritual realm can affect us. If ancestors are still trapped in the lower realms of suffering, their pain can be reflected through our bloodline and energy field, impacting our health, career, relationships, and family fortune.

More importantly, the good and evil of the nine ancestors multiply exponentially. Even a slight bad karma from an ancestor can be magnified into a huge mountain on us, causing obstacles and misfortunes in life; conversely, even a small amount of good karma from an ancestor can be amplified millions of times in us, bringing health, smoothness, and blessings.

Therefore, during the Dharma assembly, performing liberation rituals for the nine ancestors is extremely important! By harnessing the sacred power of the assembly, we help our ancestors cultivate merit, liberate the nine ancestors, allowing them to escape the three evil realms, be reborn into the three good realms, or even be reborn in the Pure Land. In this way, not only do the ancestors attain liberation, but the descendants also receive protection and the family fortune prospers.

In addition, during the Dharma assembly, prayers and liberations can also be offered for infant spirits, deceased relatives, wandering souls, and restless ghosts, universally saving all beings and widely cultivating good karmic connections.

🌈 Q&AThe Practical Benefits for Modern People Participating in Dharma Assemblies

⃣“Will participating in Dharma assemblies help my physical health?”

Many illnesses are "karma-related diseases" (or "karmic illnesses"), which are manifestations of resentments carried by our spirit since beginningless cycles of birth and death, projected onto the physical body.

Within the energy field of the Dharma assembly, minor illnesses can dissipate on the spot, and even serious illnesses can be alleviated. More remarkably, by harnessing the merit power generated during the assembly, we can proactively clear causes and eliminate karmic obstacles before illness arises, thus preventing suffering and disaster. The fire offerings at the Nine Altar create a powerful magnetic field that can further restore mind-body balance and rekindle the light body of life.

“How can participating in Dharma assemblies enhance my spirituality and quality of life?”

Our mission in this world is to "resolve karmic ties." Only by completing all past connections accumulated over beginningless eons can the spirit be perfected, enabling lifelong accomplishment and transcendence beyond the cycle of rebirth.

The Peacock Wisdom King Dharma Assembly brings all beings from the ten realms together as one, offering us an opportunity to purify the karmic debts accumulated over many lifetimes. Through our own sincere effort (self-power) combined with the blessings of the Buddhas (other-power), a powerful "joint force to eliminate karma" is formed, fulfilling our wholesome wishes—such as for health, wealth, family, and offspring—and naturally leading to success in these areas.

⃣“Do the merits from Dharma assemblies I participated in before still take effect? Why is it necessary to participate repeatedly?”

Merits do not disappear, but karmic debts continue to accumulate. Our karmic obstacles, which have built up like a mountain since beginningless eons, require ongoing clearing and continuous diligent practice as long as we still have a mortal body.

In the supremely perfect Dharma assemblies, it is especially important to strive to make greater merits, as the blessings gained and the karmic obstacles eliminated are of a much higher magnitude. The Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharma Assembly is a rare and auspicious occasion where all beings from the ten realms come together. With a single vow, offering, and prayer during this event, the merits accumulated are hundreds to thousands of times greater than those gained through regular practice.

Why do we experience suffering in life?

All the misfortunes and sufferings in the world originate from karmic obstacles.

Our karma has three sources:

• Karma from past lives: The various actions performed in previous lifetimes.
• Ancestral karma: The energy inherited from generations of ancestors through the parents' genes.
• Karmic debts from the Six Realms: The debts accumulated throughout the endless cycle of rebirth in the six realms.

What's worse is that the bad karma of our distant ancestors weighs on the shoulders of today's descendants like a huge mountain, obstructing our health, wealth, marriage, career, and making it difficult to achieve fulfillment.

“So, how can we quickly and completely remove the huge mountain of karmic obstacles?”

❓ Q&A“How can one quickly clear the karma accumulated over many lifetimes?”

1️⃣ “Can ordinary human effort alone clear karmic obstacles?”

The mortal body and ordinary mind of an unenlightened person are limited and cannot ascend to the heavens, descend to the earth, or traverse the Dharma realms. Ordinary practice and Dharma assemblies also find it difficult to quickly clear the karmic debts that span across the six realms, which include both heavenly and earthly realms.

Therefore, only by relying on extraordinary solutions, such as the Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Sutra, can one truly overcome these obstacles. This sacred scripture, taught successively by the Seven Buddhas, possesses a special power dedicated to “universally liberating sentient beings and purifying karmic obstacles.” Through the compassionate vows and power of the Buddha Mother Peacock Wisdom King, the karmic fires hidden across countless lifetimes can be completely extinguished.

2️⃣ “What exactly makes the Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Sutra special?”

Since the first Buddha among the Seven Buddhas began teaching it 120 billion years ago, successive Buddhas have used this sutra to subdue karmic forces and protect sentient beings. Even when Maitreya attains Buddhahood in the future, this sutra will still be needed to purify the Sahā world.

The Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Sutra records that beings from the ten realms—including Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, devas, dragons, ghosts, and spirits—have collectively established a Dharma realm covenant: "Whoever recites the Mahamayuri Vidyarajni Sutra or its mantra shall not be harmed by any beings; violators will face severe punishment." This means that those who recite this sutra, no matter where they are, will receive protection and respect from all beings in the ten realms, thereby avoiding disasters, neutralizing negative influences, and staying clear of obstacles.

During the Tang Dynasty, Master Amoghavajra included this sutra among the “Six Great Sutras for Universal Salvation.” It is acclaimed as a fundamental secret scripture for “disaster relief, longevity, protecting the nation and its people, and perfecting Buddhahood.”

3️⃣ “What exactly happens during the Peacock Wisdom King Dharma Assembly?”

The Great Peacock Wisdom King Dharma Assembly is not an ordinary ritual for disaster relief and blessings. It is a supreme practice site established through the great sutra propagated jointly by the Seven Buddhas, uniting all beings of the ten realms. Through the power of the Dharma realm covenant, and the resonance of fire offerings and mantra recitations, all beings from the ten realms—including the Four Saints, the Six Paths, the Devas, Dragons, and the Eight Legions of Guardians (a total of 786 kinds of deities)—are gathered together, forming a powerful energy field that provides unparalleled blessings for clearing causes and karmic obstacles.

Within this sacred space:

• The resentful relatives and karmic creditors are summoned and reconciled face-to-face with the practitioner;
• Resentments, illnesses, and disasters dissolve with the sound of the mantra;
• All beings resonate with the frequency of Buddha's light, entering a state of purification and rebirth of body and mind.

This is not merely 'karmic purification', but a reconstruction of the life structure, like a profound cleansing for the soul.

📖 What Is the Liqu Jing (Tattvasaṃgraha Sūtra)?

The full name of the Lichu Jing is Vajra Peak Sutra: Explanation of the Yoga of the Meaning of Principle. It is a highly important scripture in the Vajrayana tradition of Esoteric Buddhism and is revered as the core text of the Vajra Mandala in China, Tibet, and Japan (Shingon Buddhism).

The two characters Li (理) and Qu (趣) carry profound meaning:

• Li 理: truth, the nature of Dharma, and prajñā wisdom;
• Qu 趣: inclination, entry point, and the path to attainment.

Liqu (理趣) means the path inclined toward truth — the wisdom that comprehends the ultimate reality of the Dharma realm.

This sutra teaches that:

All phenomena are thusness itself; afflictions are none other than bodhi (awakening), and birth and death are none other than nirvāṇa.

It reveals the ultimate wisdom of the 'Gate of Non-duality'.
The exoteric and the esoteric, the root and the branch, the ordinary and the sacred—all are one, perfectly integrated in complete harmony.

The Five Core Principles of the Liqu Jing.

1. Integration of the Exoteric and Esoteric: the emptiness taught in the exoteric teachings and the yoga of the esoteric path are, in essence, one and the same.
2. The Five Wisdoms and the Five Buddhas: attaining realization of the Five Directional Buddhas and entering into the perfection of the Five Wisdoms.
3. The Stages of the Bodhisattva: using the Ten Grounds as the framework, it reveals the realization stages of the Lichu Bodhisattva.
4. Desire is Bodhi: by transforming desire into the path, even the ordinary mind of a sentient being can become the enlightened mind of a Buddha.
5. Non-dual Integration: by transcending all dualities, everything can become a gateway to the path of cultivation.

The great Dharma master Kūkai once said:

The Rishu (Liqu) Sutra is the very essence of the Vajra Realm esoteric teachings.

The Extraordinary Merits and Virtues of the Dharma Assembly

- Reciting and upholding the Rishu Sutra — realizing the non-duality of all dharmas, transforming afflictions into bodhi.
- Feeding the Hungry Spirits — saving lonely souls, increasing blessings and longevity.
- Offering to the Sangha — increasing virtuous roots, eliminating karmic obstacles.
- Dedication of merit to the ten directions — protecting the nation from disasters, bringing peace and safety to homes.

Practicing deeply according to the profound teachings of the Rishu Sutra, combined with the Feeding of Hungry Spirits ritual.
Let us awaken the wisdom of enlightenment and extend boundless compassion to benefit all realms of existence.

❓ A Once-in-a-Millennium Opportunity for Protection, Blessings, and Liberation

In ancient India, the Buddha's disciple, Śāriputra (Shà Dǐ Bǐ Qiū), was bitten by a poisonous snake and was near death. Instead of using ordinary medicine, the Buddha personally transmitted the Great Dharani of Mahāmāyūrī Vidyārājñī, the Mother of the Victorious Buddha Mahāmāyūrī. This practice was originally cultivated by the Buddha in a past life as the Peacock King. Śāriputra was detoxified and saved by this method and later practiced it to attain enlightenment.

The Buddha personally transmitted the method of disaster relief and life protection. In China, only during the prosperous Tang Dynasty was it ever performed, and in subsequent dynasties, there was no longer the means to bring it into the present world. Today, we respectfully invite the venerable Great Master Ci Jie from the Peacock King Temple in Yilan, Taiwan, to preside over the extraordinary Great Golden Radiance Mahāmāyūrī Nine-Mandala Grand Fire Puja.

🦚 The Extraordinary Merits and Virtues of the Buddha Mother Peacock King (Mahāmāyūrī).

The Great Mother Peacock King, Mahāmāyūrī, is the manifestation body of Vairocana Tathāgata’s same stream. Her mount is a golden peacock, symbolizing the complete severing of all afflictions and poisons.

• Peacock tail (left hand) – dispels obstacles, pacifies calamities
• Auspicious fruit (left hand) – increases blessings and inner strength
• Lotus flower (right hand) – embodies compassion and loving-kindness
• Fruit of Karma (right hand) – subdues negative forces and karmic ties

By practicing this method, one can receive blessings from the Buddha, heavenly dragons, and guardian deities; eliminate poisons and harm; dispel illnesses and prolong life; increase blessings and wisdom; have all wishes fulfilled; and enjoy peace and happiness in this life.

🛡️ Holistic Dharma Protector System

According to the scriptures, those who recite the mantra of the Peacock King of Wisdom will receive protection from 786 types of guardian deities who watch over day and night, forming a complete guardian deity system.

• Buddhas and Bodhisattvas: the Seven Buddhas, the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, and Maitreya Bodhisattva—bestowing blessings upon the true Dharma and wisdom.
• Heavenly Deities: The Four Great Heavenly Kings, Indra, and Brahma—protecting the true Dharma and meditation.
• Dragon Deities and their retinue: in charge of wind and rain, rivers, and the elimination of plagues and poisons.
• Yakshas and Rakshasas: breaking evil spells, curses, and enemies.
• Heavenly Mothers and Female Spirits: guardians of families and women and children.
• Mountain, River, and Tree Spirits: stabilizing the earth's veins and harmonizing feng shui.
• Star Deities: regulating fortunes and increasing blessings.

Furthermore, countless Medicine Deities, spirits, and non-human beings unite to protect the practitioner and their family, collectively bringing longevity, prosperity, peace, and auspiciousness.

🔥 The Nine Mandala Great Fire Puja: transforming karmic forces through the sacred flames.

The most supreme aspect of the Peacock King Dharma Assembly is the grand Nine Altars Fire Offering.

The Fire Offering (Homa) originates from the ancient Vedic tradition and was transformed by the Buddha into a spiritual practice for purifying the mind.

Four Great Merits of the Nine-Mandala Fire Puja:

• Pacifying Calamities – cleanses obstacles, illness, and misfortune
• Increasing Blessings – amplifies merit, wisdom, wealth, and relationships
• Fostering Compassion – heals grievances, harmonizes human connections
• Subjugating Ignorance – dissolves delusion, ego, and harmful views

The Fire Offering's flames can transform the energy of offerings and dedicate them to the Ten Directions of the Dharma Realm. This not only purifies personal karmic obstacles but also liberates ancestors and sentient beings with karmic connections. Additionally, it can alter the karmic inheritance passed down through the parents' DNA and the soul's reincarnation, facilitating a smoother life journey.

🌿 The Profound Meaning of Transference and Offerings

The Peacock King Dharma lineage has a profound historical depth. The grand Fire Offering ceremony unites saints and beings from the Ten Dharma Realms, bestowing exceptional blessings: Transcending Ancestors: Purifies their karmic obstacles and aids in their peaceful rebirth, while also enhancing one's own merits. Offering to Deities and Sangha: Fosters virtuous connections with higher beings, creating a cycle of protective blessings for the practitioner and their family.

🌏 Protecting the Six Realms, dedicating merit to the Ten Directions.
