一旋一咒 [yi xuan yi zhou]—One Circumambulation, One Mantra — [Buddhist Term (術語 [shu yu])] Within one circumambulation (一旋 [yi xuan]) around the Buddha, one completes the recitation of a dharani (陀羅尼 [tuo luo ni]).
Mohe Zhiguan (摩訶止觀 [mo he zhi guan]), Vol. 2, Part 1, explains [the practice of] half-walking and half-sitting in samadhi (三昧 [san mei]), quoting from the Mahavaipulya Dharani Sutra (大方等陀羅尼經 [da fang deng tuo luo ni jing]): "After performing obeisance, with a sincere heart, weeping sorrowfully and shedding tears, and after confessing and repenting of faults and transgressions, rise and circumambulate one hundred and twenty times. One circumambulation (一旋 [yi xuan]), one mantra (一咒 [yi zhou]), not slow, not fast, not high, not low [in voice]."
一旋一咒—【術語】在佛之周圍一旋之間，誦畢一次陀羅尼也。摩訶止觀第二上，明半行半，坐三昧中，引大方等陀羅尼經：「禮竟，以志誠心悲泣雨淚，陳悔罪咎竟，起旋百二十匝，一旋一咒，不遲不疾，不高不下。」
