English

Dream practice. If the meditative equipoise is not stable, then diligently practice Dharma activities with rituals. Meditate on deities, recite mantras, and make offerings. Create tsa-tsas, circumambulate, prostrate, and read scriptures. Diligently practice these seven. Immediately upon waking up, cultivate faith. Likewise, cultivate compassion intensely. Praise, pray, prostrate, and make offerings. Confess downfalls and restrain again. Give torma offerings, etc. Strive in sessions with recitations, etc. Do the seven-branch practice as much as possible. Especially make many aspirations. During breaks between sessions, read scriptures. Maintain mindfulness and awareness in all activities. Examine the faults of your own mindstream. Apply this to all session breaks. Also, use food in accordance with the Dharma. When realization arises, able to subdue other appearances, and see many necessities, even ascetic practices and behaviors are wonderful. Child, until you have become like that, it is crucial to act cautiously. Pray to the yidam deity and the lama, and request instructions. If there is no fortune to see them directly, then establish the dream realm and appearances. In the Tushita Pure Land, Sukhavati, Druzin Mountain, and Oddiyana, and Mount Wutai, etc., to the mandala of the Three Family Protectors, request to see their faces and request instructions. For those who are brainless, hypocritical, wandering, do not keep vows for a moment, newly acquainted flattering lamas, and those who have many Dharmas but no refuge, it is important to be able to trust everyone. However, maintain pure appearances. This is the advice given by Tāranātha to his disciple Stan-chikpa Jampa Drophan Zangpo, and it is also a song of his own realization composed in Ngamring. Mangalam! Om Swasti Praja Bhyah (Tibetan: ཨོཾ་སྭ་སྟི་པྲ་ཛཱ་བྷྱཿ, Sanskrit Devanagari: ओṃ स्वस्ति प्रजा भ्यः, Sanskrit Roman transliteration: oṃ svasti prajā bhyaḥ, literal Chinese meaning: Om, auspicious, beings). To the lama who is the very embodiment of the Victorious Vajradhara, with an intense longing that never separates, I respectfully pray, please bless. Please transform the minds of disciples and students towards the Dharma. The advice for permanent liberation offered by the unpredictable yogi Gyalkhampa: Other than the true Dharma, there is no other king of the future, please discern those with wisdom. All the happiness of this life is a deceiving Dharma, now feeling happy and deluding the mind, but it will not last long, it will reveal its true nature. This attachment to desirable qualities and enjoyments has become a bad habit from beginningless time, and now

因为长久地熟悉而难以分离。 心识像猴子一样,寄托很少却极度散乱。 没有感觉到被恶业的绳索束缚吗? 如果这次没有抓住解脱的绳头, 必定有滑入恶趣深渊的危险。 恶缘降临时,没有修习的法, 就像口才好却手脚笨拙的人上战场。 不要不喜欢话语,要在意义上修习。 蜜蜂、蜂蜜等和老鼠的例子, 自己积累的受用被别人享用。 因为对没有意义的事情非常执着, 不要积累,要放在善的方面。 即使是承担六个月辛苦的农夫, 当他看到秋收还没吃到就死了的时候, 才知道一切劳作辛苦而意义微小。 不要不喜欢劳作,无论做什么都要转为佛法。 看看父母、兄弟、眷属, 有些已经去世,有些还在世。 看到不停留、分离时,心里感到悲伤。 自己也是这样不是吗,要好好想想。 友好的朋友也像梦里的客人一样, 在拥有的期间,不知去向。 财富也像秋天的雾气一样, 虽然好像能停留很久,但转眼即逝。 权势受用像夏天的彩虹一样, 虽然眼前美丽,但不能信任,不能长久。 对于它,如果热衷于欺骗、虚伪、狡诈, 那么贪图小利带来的过失就太大了,不应该这样做。 现在信任依赖的朋友, 也好像立刻会变成敌人一样。 敌人和朋友都是无常的,不要有偏袒之心, 要征服一定是永久敌人的烦恼。 养育的子女在自己强大之时, 不尊敬有恩的父母, 什么也不放在心上,看到很多这样的情况, 所以要养育在需要时一定有用的智慧之子。 生而为人,却喜欢罪恶, 死后被阎罗卒带走, 感受无法忍受的痛苦,经历漫长的劫。 出生在地狱,后悔又有什么用呢? 当有一天血肉之躯坏灭时, 气息停止,亲人的悲伤也停止。 眷属不会跟随,与故乡分离。 食物财产全部抛弃,独自一人离去。 青春的鲜花被衰老的冰雹摧残, 容颜憔悴,失去力量,厌倦,心不快乐。 虽然喜欢欲望,却没有享用的能力。 看到去往来世的人,心里非常厌恶。 之后与殊胜的佛法相遇

Because of long-term familiarity, it is difficult to separate. Consciousness is like a monkey, entrusting little but extremely scattered. Don't you feel bound by the ropes of bad karma? If you don't grasp the rope of liberation this time, There is definitely a danger of slipping into the abyss of evil destinies. When bad circumstances arise, Dharma without practice, Is like an eloquent but clumsy person going to battle. Don't dislike the words, practice the meaning. The examples of bees, honey, etc., and mice, The possessions you accumulate are enjoyed by others. Because you are very attached to meaningless things, Don't accumulate, put it on the side of virtue. Even a farmer who bears six months of hardship, When he sees that he dies before eating the autumn harvest, He knows that all labor is hard but the meaning is small. Don't dislike labor, transform whatever you do into Dharma. Look at parents, siblings, and attendants, Some have passed away, some are still alive. Seeing impermanence and separation, the heart feels sad. Isn't it the same for you, think about it carefully. Even friendly friends are like guests in a dream, During the time you have them, you don't know where they went. Wealth is like the autumn mist, Although it seems to stay for a long time, it disappears in an instant. Power and enjoyment are like the summer rainbow, Although beautiful in front of the eyes, you cannot trust it, it cannot last long. For it, if you are enthusiastic about cheating, hypocrisy, and cunning, Then the fault of coveting small profits is too great, you shouldn't do it. The friends you trust and rely on now, Also seem like they will immediately become enemies. Enemies and friends are impermanent, don't have partiality, You must conquer the afflictions that are definitely permanent enemies. When the children you raise become strong, They don't respect their kind parents, They don't care about anything, seeing many such situations, So raise a wise child who will definitely be useful when needed. Born as a human being, but liking evil, After death, being taken away by the messengers of Yama, Experiencing unbearable suffering, experiencing long kalpas. What's the use of regretting when you are born in hell? When one day the body of flesh and blood is destroyed, The breath stops, and the grief of relatives also stops. Attendants will not follow, separated from their homeland. All food and property are abandoned, leaving alone. The flowers of youth are tormented by the hail of old age, The complexion fades, strength is lost, weary, the heart is not happy. Although you like desire, you have no ability to enjoy it. Seeing people going to the next life, the heart is very disgusted. Later encountering the supreme Dharma

I am Dkon! It is difficult to obtain a precious human body, so if you do not strive for the sacred Dharma now, your future will be very bleak. The wealth you have accumulated will be divided by others. When you leave behind your cherished body and life, servants, children, and horses will not follow you, and only the empty name of "So-and-so has died" will remain. Thereafter, there will be no chance to see your relatives, cities, homes, territories, and wealth again. If you wander in the prisons of the three lower realms, there is no refuge other than the Three Jewels. The plain filled with knives is vast and boundless, the forest of swords is dense and endless, and all the mountains and rivers are burning with flames, or threatened by cold, your body will be split into hundreds or thousands of pieces. How can you not be afraid when your own body is torn apart? It is frightening to hear, and even more impossible to stand when you think about it. For hundreds of years, there will not even be the name of food or drink. If you eat it, it will burn like fire and scorch your whole body. When you think about the situation, your flesh and bones will separate in fear. They eat and kill each other, bind and beat each other. Being used and driven without freedom, the suffering of animals, if it falls on you, how can you bear it? Now is the time to work hard while there is still a way to remedy it. If the bad consequences fall on you, who will you blame for shifting the blame to others? You have no choice but to bear your own guilt. Evil friends are the guides to the lower realms. Ignorant and unknowing, you mistake them for friends of happiness and joy. If you apply yourself to virtue, even an enemy is a lama. If you apply yourself to evil, then regard them as messengers of demons. If you do not practice the Dharma, you will only increase your weariness of impermanence and suffering, and even if you are weary, it will be of no benefit. Therefore, there are also the following obstacles to entering the Dharma: Thinking you are incapable, or thinking you have no time now, being controlled by others, or procrastinating, being too arrogant, or being discouraged, thinking it is not true, or doing it when you have time. You should abandon these and immediately practice diligently. There is no deception in black and white karma, so you should cultivate diligence in accepting and rejecting this. For the sake of servants, family, relatives, and politics, even if you create sins, the results will only be borne by yourself, and others will not be able to share even a small part. Therefore, you should not like sins for the sake of others. You cannot bear even a small harm to yourself, but you have the cruel heart to dismember others. You kill living beings just for the sake of food and drink. You should completely abandon the evil deeds of selfishness and adorn yourself with good deeds.

衰败方的一切,祈愿成办所有国土安乐之方便。六道有恩的父母众,祈愿尽力为一切生起利他之心。对众生生起慈爱和悲悯,是所有佛法的根本,因此,务必以精进之心修持此要点。不应心怀恶意和仇恨,当下亦是如此,不作任何无益的损害。如同愿望一般,心无自主,被我的业力驱使,成为了敌人。依靠自己,以罪恶装扮敌人。父母堕入地狱,真是可悲。如此思索,恶念便会平息。道路的根本是上师瑜伽,以虔诚和强烈的渴望祈祷。一切障碍唯有此能消除,一切成就唯有此能获得。成办具相上师的一切意愿,以心中的虔诚和言语的悦耳来表达。以供养、贫乏和身体的一切行为,努力做令上师欢喜之事。世间君王无论多么贤善,终将离别,而殊胜上师的慈悲却不会舍弃。依靠上师的加持力,证悟得以生起。大手印是加持之路。清晰而无执着,放松而自然。安住于所显现的一切之上的寂止,以及赤裸地见到自性的胜观二者,是禅修的入门,因此务必精进。无论显现什么,都不要加以改造,保持原样。无论发生什么变化,都直接观照它。无论处于静止还是运动状态,都不要人为造作,在无散乱的状态中,请求增长觉性的力量。所有甚深修持的精髓是,观察和寻找自己的心。从出生之时起,本来就是解脱的,务必揭示那未识自性的虚假之源。调柔风、心、脉、明点是方便道,本尊身是显空不执的幻化之身。日夜相互增益,睡眠的愚昧转化为明空安乐。无论显现什么,都观为上师与本尊无别,不执着,将清净显现的法轮无偏地转动。无论如何专注于修持,要点在于以认识自性的正念来摄持。忏悔罪业,积累善根,随喜和回向使其增长广大,这四者是通往善趣和解脱的根本。对过去所造的罪业深感后悔,
