The Mudra of Ākāśagarbha (虛空藏, the Bodhisattva of the Treasury of Space): Join the palms and bind the water fingers (ring fingers). The wind fingers (index fingers) are shaped like a jewel. The mantra says:
Om Akasha (虛空) Garbha Iya Om Mari Gamari Muri Svaha
If one desires to seek blessings and wisdom, one should take refuge in this Bodhisattva. The sun, moon, and stars are all transformations of Ākāśagarbha.

Om (elongated) A (entering with a harsh sound) Vi (elongated) Ra Hum Kha Chara. If seeking to pacify disasters.
When desiring to extinguish the seven kinds of calamities, namely, solar and lunar eclipses, the five planets deviating from their regular paths, wars and bandits rising up in competition, untimely floods and droughts, wind and rain losing their regularity, wicked ministers betraying and harming the people of the country, ferocious wild beasts devouring sentient beings, and poor harvests of the five grains. Such calamities, urgent dangers, official disasters, royal disasters, death disasters, terrors, etc., should all be dissipated.
The Mudra of Samantabhadra (普賢, the Bodhisattva of Universal Virtue): Join the palms with a hollow space. The mantra says:

Recite this mantra seven times in the morning and seven times at night, and all enchantments, evil paths, and insect poisons will be completely eliminated. One can attain the three liberations of body, mind, and wisdom. In future lives, one will not receive the body of birth and death, and will attain the Dharma body. Whether domestic or foreign lands, enemies, all evil people, all ghosts and spirits, all thieves, tigers, wolves, lions, poisonous insects, and ferocious beasts, upon hearing the sound of this mantra, will all shut their mouths and not disturb each other. Changes in the heavens causing calamities, evil dream disasters, and strange phenomena of hundreds of birds will naturally disappear. The merits and functions of this mantra cannot be fully described.
The Mudra of Prolonging Life: The left hand holds the fire finger (middle finger) and the space finger (little finger), as if holding a lotus flower. The right hand is extended straight down. The mantra says:

【English Translation】 English version If there is a loss in battle (Zhanshidu, possibly referring to defeat in war or other losses), one can establish a mandala for Mahasveta-Tara (Great White-Robed Avalokiteshvara, symbolizing purity) or Manjushri Vidyarajni Ushnishachakravartin (the wrathful form of Manjushri Bodhisattva). Each should recite according to their respective methods. All calamities will naturally dissipate. If all the planets are inauspicious, reciting this mantra can transform them into auspiciousness.
The mantra of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper says:
Om Sata Namo Ar(tooth) Naya Banja Mitya(two combined) Rampu Tama Svaha(two combined) Minamo (name and position) Rakshan Bhavatu Svaha
If Rahu (the demon star in Hindu mythology), Ketu (the descending node in Hindu mythology), or dark travelers are in one's natal star palace, one must recite this mantra of the Big Dipper. All Tathagatas say that it can break all planetary obstacles and bring auspiciousness. The mantra says:
Om Sarva Nakshatra(two combined) Samaye Shriye Shantika Kuru Svaha
The 'Diamond Constellation Accomplishment Sutra, Auspicious Accomplishment Chapter' says: I now proclaim the subtle and secret methods of worldly accomplishment. These planets move in the sky, whether one, two, three, four, or five, etc., when they enter the life constellation, opposing constellation, migrating constellation, great karma constellation, peaceful constellation, thin appearance constellation, or servant constellation, they will cause various calamities. The four great evil planets, namely Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu, have the greatest impact on sentient beings. At this time, one should cultivate meritorious deeds, practice generosity and kindness, or rely on the Manjushri Eight-Syllable Mantra, or rely on Ushnishachakravartin, or rely on Parnashavari (the Avalokiteshvara wearing leaves), or rely on Ekaksara-buddhosnisa-cakravartin (the One-Syllable Buddha Crown Wheel King). Establish a large pacifying homa mandala. Each should recite and make offerings according to their respective methods. All calamities will naturally disappear. To perform the accomplishment method, one should choose the day when the Heart Constellation is in direct alignment, the day when the Willow Constellation is in direct alignment, the day when the Pleiades Constellation is in direct alignment, or the day when the Ox Constellation is in direct alignment. Do not consider the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the sun and moon. As long as it is the day when this constellation is in direct alignment, one should abstain from food and recite the mantra one thousand and eighty times in one day. All wishes will be fulfilled and great accomplishment will be attained immediately. If one encounters calamities, performing the practice on one's birthday is most appropriate. If one performs the accomplishment method for Jupiter, the sixteenth day of the month is most appropriate. If one performs the accomplishment method for Mars, the day when it is in direct alignment is most appropriate. If one performs the accomplishment method for Saturn, the seventh day of each month is most appropriate. If one performs the accomplishment method for Venus, according to what is seen.
方平旦最為相應。若作水曜成就法者依水曜直日而作成就。若作羅睺計都法者。依本生日以為相應。若復供養本生宿者。于本生年月。若本生日而可取成就。若惡宿生每月供養。若三日七日供養直轉成吉祥直。秘勿令知俗也。
宿曜儀軌一卷
【現代漢語翻譯】 現代漢語譯本：黎明時分最為適宜。如果修習水曜成就法，應選擇水曜日當天進行。如果修習羅睺（Rāhu，印度神話中的惡魔）或計都（Ketu，印度神話中的彗星）的法，應以自己的出生日為準。如果供養自己的本命星宿，應在本命星宿所在的月份或日子進行，這樣容易成就。如果是惡劣的星宿，每月都應供養。或者每三日、七日供養，這樣可以直接轉變為吉祥。這些秘密不要讓世俗之人知道。
《宿曜儀軌》一卷
【English Translation】 English version: Dawn is the most appropriate time. If performing the Sūrya (Sun) accomplishment ritual, it should be done on a Sunday. If performing the Mangala (Mars) accomplishment ritual, it should be done on a Tuesday. If performing the Budha (Mercury) accomplishment ritual, it should be done on a Wednesday for accomplishment. If performing the Rāhu (Rāhu, a demon in Hindu mythology) or Ketu (Ketu, a comet in Hindu mythology) rituals, it should be based on one's birth date as appropriate. If making offerings to one's natal Nakshatra (Nakshatra, lunar mansion), it should be done in the month or on the day of one's birth Nakshatra for easy accomplishment. If born under an inauspicious Nakshatra, offerings should be made every month, or every three or seven days, which can directly transform into auspiciousness. These secrets should not be revealed to ordinary people.
