九會曼荼羅 [jiu hui man tu luo]—The Nine Assemblies Mandala — [Term] This is the existing diagram mandala (現圖曼荼羅 [xian tu man tu luo]) of the Vajradhatu (金剛界 [jin gang jie]). With the east as the front, the First Assembly is placed in the center, and the other eight assemblies are arranged clockwise starting from the east, making a total of nine assemblies.
The First Assembly describes Vairocana Buddha (大日如來 [da ri ru lai]) achieving perfect enlightenment through five aspects, and after becoming a Buddha, manifesting thirty-seven deities from the Vajra Samadhi, as well as various external beings, to guide and transform sentient beings. Therefore, it is called the Assembly of Perfected Body (成身會 [cheng shen hui]). As it is the foundation of the mandala, it is also called the Fundamental Assembly (根本會 [gen ben hui]). Or, based on the activities and actions of its various deities, it is called the Karma Assembly (羯磨會 [jie mo hui]). This is the Great Mandala (大曼 [da man]) among the Four Mandalas (四曼 [si man]).
The Second Assembly shows the original vows of the deities from the Assembly of Perfected Body, not in the form of stupas, vajras, jewels, or other Samaya bodies. Therefore, it is called the Samaya Assembly (三昧耶會 [san mei ye hui]). Also, based on its activities, it is called the Karma Assembly (羯磨會 [jie mo hui]). This is the Samaya Mandala (三昧耶曼 [san mei ye man]) among the Four Mandalas.
The Third Assembly indicates the subtle virtues, such as the Five Wisdoms, of each of the deities. Therefore, it is called the Subtle Assembly (微細會 [wei xi hui]). Since the deities are deeply absorbed in meditation, it is also called Samaya. This is the Dharma Mandala (法曼 [fa man]) among the Four Mandalas.
The Fourth Assembly describes the actions of the various deities offering precious crowns, flower garlands, and other items to Vairocana Buddha. Therefore, it is called the Great Offering Assembly (大供養會 [da gong yang hui]). This is the Karma Mandala (羯磨曼 [jie mo man]) among the Four Mandalas. The sequence described above represents the Four Mandalas of Maha, Samaya, Dharma, and Karma (大三法羯 [da san fa jie]).
The Fifth Assembly is named the Four Seals Assembly (四印會 [si yin hui]) because, unlike the previous four assemblies where the Four Mandalas were separated and each placed in a distinct assembly, this assembly combines all Four Mandalas into one, breaking the notion of their separation. As it represents Vairocana's Five Wisdoms, it is also called the Five Wisdoms Assembly (五智會 [wu zhi hui]).
The Sixth Assembly is named the One Seal Assembly (一印會 [yi yin hui]) because it further integrates the previous Four Mandalas to demonstrate Vairocana Buddha's singular Dharma Realm and the Wisdom Fist Seal, which represents this unique Dharma Realm. The above six assemblies represent a progression from the coarse to the subtle. They constitute Vairocana Buddha's Self-Nature Wheel Body (自性輪身 [zi xing lun shen]). They also represent the Gate of Self-Realization (自證門 [zi zheng men]). This is the Dharma Mandala among the Four Mandalas.
In the Seventh Assembly, Vajrasattva (金剛薩埵 [jin gang sa duo]) is the central platform (中臺 [zhong tai]) (Vairocana was the central platform until the Fifth Assembly, and in the Sixth Assembly, Vairocana was the sole deity). This assembly transforms the four defilements of desire, touch, affection, and pride into the four Bodhisattvas of desire, touch, affection, and pride, demonstrating profound principles and meanings. Therefore, it is called the Assembly of Principles and Meanings (理趣會 [li qu hui]). Since Vajrasattva is of the same essence as Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (普賢菩薩 [pu xian pu sa]), it is also called the Samantabhadra Assembly (普賢會 [pu xian hui]). Here, Vairocana Buddha from the previous six assemblies manifests as Vajrasattva to expound the true Dharma. Therefore, this is Vairocana Buddha's Body of the Right Dharma Wheel for Converting Others (化他之正法輪身 [hua ta zhi zheng fa lun shen]) (known as the Bodhisattva), and it is the Dharma Mandala among the Four Mandalas.
The Eighth Assembly is for Vairocana Buddha. To subdue stubborn and difficult-to-convert sentient beings, Vairocana Buddha further manifests from Vajrasattva as the wrathful form of Trailokyavijaya Vidyaraja (降三世明王 [jiang san shi ming wang]). Therefore, it is called the Trailokyavijaya Karma Assembly (降三世羯磨會 [jiang san shi jie mo hui]). This is the Great Mandala among the Four Mandalas.
The Ninth Assembly displays the Samaya forms of the Trailokyavijaya Vidyaraja, hence it is called the Trailokyavijaya Samaya Assembly (降三世三昧耶會 [jiang san shi san mei ye hui]). This is the Samaya Mandala among the Four Mandalas. These two assemblies (Eighth and Ninth) represent Vairocana Buddha's Body of the Command Wheel for Converting Others (教令輪身 [jiao ling lun shen]) (known as the Vidyaraja). In essence, the Nine Assemblies Mandala is Vairocana Buddha's Three Wheel Bodies (三輪身 [san lun shen]).
The sequence of the above nine assemblies is from effect to cause, showing Vairocana emerging from the Gate of Self-Realization into the Gate of Subjugation. In contrast to this, there is also a sequence from cause to effect, representing the ascent from an ordinary being to Buddhahood. In this sequence, the Trailokyavijaya Samaya Assembly is the first, and the central Assembly of Perfected Body is the ninth.

九會曼荼羅—【術語】是金剛界之現圖曼荼羅也。東方為正面，第一會置中央，自東面右旋而置八會，合為九會。第一會乃說大日如來以五相現成等正覺，成佛後，自金剛三摩地現出三十七尊乃至外部諸眾攝化眾生之狀者，故名成身會。為曼陀羅之根本，故或名為根本會。或就其諸尊之活動作業，名為羯磨會。是四曼中之大曼也。第二會者，為成身會諸尊，示其本誓，非塔杵寶珠等之三昧耶身，故名三昧耶。又取其作業，名為羯磨會。是四曼中之三昧耶曼也。第三會為諸尊各各標五智等微細之德者，故名微細會。諸尊深入禪定故又名三昧耶。四曼中之法曼也。第四會為述諸尊各各以寶冠華鬘等，供養大日尊之作業者，故名大供養會。四曼中之羯磨曼也。如已上次第為大三法羯之四曼。第五會者，因前四會分離四曼，於別會各置一曼，今為破四曼不離，以四曼合集於一會者，故名四印會。是為大日之五智，故又名五智會，第六會者，為示大日如來之獨一法界，更合前四曼，而示大日獨一法界之一智拳印者，故名一印會。已上六會為自麤至細之次第。為大日如來之自性輪身。又為自證門。是四曼中之法三曼也。第七會以金剛薩埵為中臺（至第五會大日為中臺第六會大日一尊也），轉欲觸愛慢之四煩惱而為欲觸愛慢之四菩薩，示深密之理趣者，故名理趣會。金剛薩埵與普賢菩薩同體，故又名普賢會。是前六會之大日如來來此會現金剛薩埵相而說正法者，故此為大日如來化他之正法輪身（菩薩之稱），是四曼中法曼也。第八會為大日如來。為折伏強剛難化之眾生，從金剛薩埵更現降三世明王之忿怒身者，故名降三世羯磨會。是四曼中大曼也。第九會為同列降三世明王之三昧耶形者，故名降三世三昧耶會。是四曼中三曼也。此二會為大日化他之教令輪身（明王之稱），要之九會之曼荼羅者，大日如來之三輪身也。以上九會之次第，為從果向因，大日自自證門出於降伏門之相也。對於此而有從因至果之次第，為自凡夫上於佛果之相，此時降三世三昧耶為第一，中央之成身為第九也。見十八會指歸，秘藏記本等。參照金剛界曼荼羅條。
