嘉會壇曼陀羅 [jia hui tan man tuo luo]—Mandala of the Auspicious Assembly Altar — [Term] An honorable name for a Mandala (曼陀羅 [man tuo luo]). When a Mandala (曼陀羅 [man tuo luo]) is set up to perform abhiseka (灌頂 [guan ding]), Buddhas from the ten directions gather, giving rise to an auspicious assembly (嘉會 [jia hui]) where the future teacher (導師 [dao shi]) will appear. When the Dharma-body of Principle (理法身 [li fa shen]) of the Central Great Sun (中臺大日 [zhong tai da ri]) resides in the Amitabha Samadhi (阿彌陀三昧 [a mi tuo san mei]) of the Western Lotus Division (蓮華部 [lian hua bu]), receives the Mandala of Empowerment (加持曼荼羅 [jia chi man tu luo]), and teaches Dharma for sentient beings, it is called the Mandala of the Auspicious Assembly (嘉會曼荼羅 [jia hui man tu luo]). This is the teaching found in the Chapter on the Fulfillment of Conditions (具緣品 [ju yuan pin]) of the Mahāvairocana Sūtra (大日經 [da ri jing]). This refers to the teaching of the Empowered Body (加持身 [jia chi shen]) in the Self-Realization Assembly (自證會 [zi zheng hui]). Furthermore, when one embodies the form of Amitabha (阿彌陀 [a mi tuo]) from the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss (極樂 [ji le]) and teaches Dharma, this is also the Mandala of the Auspicious Assembly (嘉會曼荼羅 [jia hui man tu luo]). This signifies an auspicious circumstance (嘉運 [jia yun]) where teaching and listening are in harmony, hence it is called "Auspicious Assembly" (嘉會 [jia hui]). This is what is meant by "at one time" (一時 [yi shi]) at the beginning of various sutras. The Mahāvairocana Sūtra (大日經 [da ri jing]) Vol. 6 states: "Blue is the color of Amitayus (無量壽 [wu liang shou]), and having reached the Vajra Reality (金剛實際 [jin gang shi ji]), one immediately, by means of empowered skillful means (加持方便 [jia chi fang bian]), skillfully manifests the Mandala (曼荼羅 [man tu luo]) of Great Compassion." The Notes on the Secret Treasury Record (秘藏記鈔 [mi cang ji chao]) Vol. 1 states: "Mahāvairocana (大日 [da ri]) resides in Amitabha Samadhi (阿彌陀三摩地 [a mi tuo san mo de]), receiving the Mandala of Empowerment (加持曼荼羅 [jia chi man tu luo]), which is the Mandala (曼荼羅 [man tu luo]) of the Lotus Division (蓮華部 [lian hua bu]) among the three divisions." The Collection of Sacred Treasures (聖財集 [sheng cai ji]) Vol. 2 states: "Among the Five Buddhas (五佛 [wu fu]), the first three Buddhas are the three-point formless Dharma-body (無相法身 [wu xiang fa shen]) of inner realization. Among these three points, the southern one is Ratnasambhava (寶生 [bao sheng]), who embodies the non-duality of principle and wisdom. These are not directed towards deluded beings, and are called the self-nature altar king (自性壇王 [zi xing tan wang]) of inner realization, where the four bodies are one. The Western Auspicious Assembly Altar (嘉會壇 [jia hui tan]), however, is specifically for Amitabha (彌陀 [mi tuo]), the Pure Land Buddha (淨土佛 [jing tu fu]), who is directed towards deluded beings. All Pure Land Buddhas (淨土佛 [jing tu fu]) are emanations of Amitabha (彌陀 [mi tuo])."
嘉會壇曼陀羅—【術語】曼陀羅之德名。設曼陀羅，以行灌頂，十方諸佛來集，生導師當來之嘉會也。
中臺大日之理法身，住於西方蓮華部之阿彌陀三昧，以領加持曼荼羅，為眾生說法，謂為嘉會曼荼羅。大日經具緣品之說法是也。是為自證會加持身之說。又領西方極樂之阿彌陀相而說法，是嘉會曼荼羅也。此為說聽和合之嘉運，故謂為嘉會。諸經之首所謂一時是也。大日經六曰：「青色是無量壽色，既到金剛實際。即以加持方便，善現大悲曼荼羅。」秘藏記鈔一曰：「大日住於阿彌陀三摩地，領加持曼荼羅，三部中蓮華部之曼荼羅也。」聖財集下曰：「五佛中前三佛，內證之三點無相法身也，三點中南方，理智不二之寶生也，不對於迷機，謂之為四身一體內證之自性壇王。西方之嘉會壇，始為對於迷機之淨土佛彌陀。一切淨土佛，彌陀之分身也。」
