02.Title of the Treatise.g2.0f

English

It is said that there were many omissions in the proofreading, and it seems to be true. Moreover, even during the translation by Lotsawa, some errors occurred in the Tibetan text itself. For example, in the "Great Powerful Accomplishment Method," the newly translated three-faced, six-armed accomplishment method was scattered, as if the old translation was put in. Some versions still have it, and some do not. Therefore, according to the catalog, there must be many accomplishment methods missing from the Tibetan version of the "Ocean of Accomplishment Methods" that exists today. We have also made many efforts to find them, but it seems that there are none that have been translated into Tibetan before. Some that are in the "Ocean of Accomplishment Methods," it is not known whether the authors are the same, one or two. Taking the ones with the same meaning as the standard, we found many Chinese versions of accomplishment methods that had not been translated before. Translated from those Chinese versions, those rituals were collected together and completed. Even without an oral transmission lineage, the way the scriptures are preserved is very important. A silver-made Torma-shaped measuring mandala was also made, with statues of nineteen deities representing the entire mandala, decorated with various jewels and many pearls inlaid at the ends, which was very exquisite. Then, on the auspicious day of the 23rd of the ninth month, all the scriptures of the Kangyur, including the scripture shelves, were neatly placed. To celebrate the completion of the proofreading, fifty-five scribes were given ten auspicious khatas, two hundred superior silk khatas, thirty khatas, ten servings of tea, ten servings of brown sugar, six gold foil papers, four horse bits, five sets of superior saddles, brassware, conch shell instruments, cymbals, etc., totaling seven items, small bronze statues, and many other kinds of wealth. Ten right-spiraling conch shell gold foil papers, one hundred and ten large and small robes, silk, wool, coarse cloth, etc., much wool, two good young horses, thirteen donkeys with saddle pads, ten cows, eighty-eight black-haired sheep, each with a medicine thread tied to its horn. An image of the supreme noble Jambhala was also offered, made of gold, copper, and silver.

This (Buddha image), decorated with various exquisite jewels and built in the Indian style, used about seven loads of bronze for the body material, no less than fifty taels of gold, and the necessary materials such as pigments were also in proportion. The materials for the ornaments included two jade vajras, two leaves, and another one hundred and eleven fine jade ornaments, six flowers, two lotus petals, one large sukanti gem, seven hakki gems, forty emeralds, and many ambers, corals, pearls, etc. On the twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth, the consecration and the initial consecration were performed. After that, gold was applied, and the eye-opening ceremony was offered. On the second day of the tenth month of the Mongolian calendar, Tuesday, at the auspicious conjunction of stars, the consecration was performed again. Offering new fruits, etc., and many other auspicious ceremonies for increasing special enjoyment were also performed. Seven Nepalese craftsmen made seven backrests, two statues of the Omniscient One, and the later built wealth deities, etc., to which seventy auspicious khatas, one tael of gold, ten packages of good tea, fine striped red and white silk, and large white silk, pigments, one hundred and fifty sets of complete pigments, sixty sets of ordinary pigments, one hundred and thirty sets of colored silk, eight excellent silks, a complete set of red cloth, fifty tassels, one hundred and ten pieces of clothing, thirty bolts of cloth, twenty bolts of ka cloth, ten pieces of coarse wool, seven complete sets of clothes and shoes, rice, sugar, etc., and many small items were offered as offerings. Writing down the rough list of offerings and Buddha image materials is not because I am stingy, nor because I am arrogant, nor to show off, but for the sake of later builders who should do the same. To say that building based on power and burden is meaningless. In the auspicious Chakrasamvara Tantra, a sadhana of the commentary by the secret lord Vajrapani is also written. It was previously included in the arranged sadhana series. Up to this point, the murals of the wealth deity hall, the powerful hall, the lamp hall, the dakini hall, the lotus-adorned hall, and the great courtyard of the palace were completed. In the Supreme Vehicle Hall, murals of the eighty accomplished ones were painted. In the Avalokiteshvara Hall, Manjushri Arapacana and Sukhavati were painted.

在德瓦坚(极乐世界)建造了无量光佛,在香巴拉建造了秘密主,在邬金空行净土建造了金刚瑜伽母,在兜率天建造了弥勒佛,在巴尔津建造了不动明王和尊胜火神,在旺丹建造了黑阎魔敌,在巴千建造了四面十二臂吉祥胜乐金刚,并且能够进行供养和开光。在猛咒事业殿中建造了吉祥大黑天帐篷怙主、六臂智慧怙主和四臂怙主的塑像。各自也立即进行了开光。除了后两者之外,所有的都完成了着色。昆钦法王的约一肘高的身像,以及约一箭长的二十五尊,还有比那些稍小的约二十尊,都按照之前的顺序建造,并进行了着色、装藏,直至开光完成。今年(指当年)的建造工程是:春末夏初,在南方的右侧有一个稍微宽敞的地方。从下面也比较了很多山势。经过很多努力,建造了一个深奥的佛像展示地。因为我们两个必须去桑珠孜,所以这里的仁波切等人,没有任何热情、信仰、恭敬、同情和愿望,沉迷于黑酒,导致工作完成得很少,而且建筑的外观并不太好,内部的填充也很随意,水流等都没有仔细考虑。我们向后推迟了一个月的朵玛,也许是因为这个原因?在初夏,一场大冰雹袭击,导致从地基开始倒塌,造成了损失。自从那之后,进展非常顺利,深广的平台和外部的栏杆等都很好地完成了。对此,我以善良的发心和缘起,让白方的神灵们慈悲地降临,因此在这个建造工程期间,所有的土地、石头、木材和水都如愿以偿地出现。建造佛像的条件也非常容易实现。虽然这个永久稳定的地方似乎有很多天然石头,但通过多种方式寻找,不需要切割等,石头的孔洞一个接一个地出现,以及兔年和龙年的盛夏

In Dewachen (Sukhavati), Amitabha was built, in Shambhala, the Secret Lord, in Orgyen Khechö, Vajrayogini, in Tushita, Maitreya, in Barzin, Achala and the victorious fire god, in Wangden, Black Yamantaka, in Pachen, the four-faced, twelve-armed glorious Chakrasamvara, and it was possible to make offerings and consecrations. In the fierce action temple, statues of the glorious Great Black Tent Protector, the six-armed Wisdom Protector, and the four-armed Protector were built. Each was also immediately consecrated. Except for the latter two, all were completed with coloring. The approximately one cubit high statue of Kunkhyen Chökyi Gyalpo, and the twenty-five that were approximately one arrow-length, and the approximately twenty that were slightly smaller than those, were all built in the previous order, and were colored, enshrined, and completed up to the consecration. This year's (referring to that year) construction work was: in late spring and early summer, there was a slightly spacious place on the right side of the south. Many mountain features were also compared from below. After much effort, a deep and vast statue display area was built. Because the two of us had to go to Samdrubtse, the Rinpoche here and others had no enthusiasm, faith, respect, compassion, or desire, and indulged in black alcohol, resulting in little work being completed, and the exterior of the building was not very good, the interior filling was also casual, and the water flow etc. were not carefully considered. We postponed the torma for a month, perhaps because of this? In early summer, a great hailstorm struck, causing it to collapse from the foundation, resulting in a loss. Since then, progress has been very smooth, and the deep and wide platform and the outer railings etc. have been well completed. To this, I, with a good intention and auspicious circumstances, caused the white-sided deities to descend with compassion, so during this construction project, all the land, stones, wood, and water appeared as desired. The conditions for building the statues were also very easy to achieve. Although this permanent and stable place seems to have many natural stones, by searching in many ways, without the need for cutting etc., the holes in the stones appeared one after another, and the midsummer of the Year of the Rabbit and the Year of the Dragon.

即使是那些做实修的妇女们,当稍微积攒了一些石头的时候,一个旧的石坑几乎用完了,正当她们想着要找一个新的石坑时,有两次都发生了西边的岩石崩塌,出现了用不完的石头这样的事情。以前四面八方都被沙子覆盖,墙泥和栅栏等非常稀少,无论哪个方向什么时候需要,附近就能出现想要的粘土,寺庙的墙面不需要混合泥土,就能像很好地粘合在一起一样,想要多少就有多少。每当一座寺庙建成,那些(材料)也正好用完。前后这么大规模的工程,就像上面说的那样,除了因为拖延赎罪仪式和朵玛造成的些微过失之外,不要说因为工程而死人,就连胳膊上擦伤一点皮都没有发生过,这也是最令人惊奇的事情之一。就像上面说的那样,新的泉眼涌出的是卢玛草之类的水,冬天寒冷的时候也不会结冰,所有种植的树木都能随意引水灌溉,对田地等没有任何损害。这个地方建造房屋非常缺木材,只能艰苦地寻找,但是从上部和下部不用费力就能从各个木材市场随意买到想要的木材,有时候地方政府也会给予很多,但大部分都是估价购买的,所有东西都变得容易购买和寻找。即使是那些非常粗大难以移动的木头,从很远的地方运来也没有困难,也没有发生任何事故。同样,金和铜也是如此,虽然之前建造觉囊派的弥勒佛像时已经全部用完了,但那之后地方政府分了六次左右,每次都分了几百两黄金,此外也先后给予了很多铜。总的来说,现在这个时代不好,人们的财富减少,黄金稀少,捐赠的人也少,但是在这些南部地区,即使是从寺庙的收入中获取,也能随意获得金和铜,变得非常容易。总的来说,如果和现在一百年前,或者和建造绒地的弥勒佛像以及昂仁的弥勒佛像等的时候相比,那...

Even for those women doing the actual practice, when they had accumulated a little stone, one old stone pit was almost exhausted. Just as they were thinking of finding a new stone pit, there were two instances of a rock collapsing in the west, revealing an inexhaustible supply of stones. Previously, all directions were covered with sand, and wall mud and fences were very scarce. Wherever and whenever needed, the desired clay would appear nearby. The walls of the temple did not need to be mixed with mud, and they would come out as if they were well bonded together, as much as desired. Whenever a temple was completed, those (materials) would also be used up. Even with such a large-scale project before and after, as mentioned above, apart from the slight faults caused by delaying the redemption ceremony and the Torma, let alone people dying from the project, not even a scratch on the arm occurred, which is one of the most amazing things. As mentioned above, the new spring that gushed out was water of the Luma grass type, which did not freeze in the cold winter, and all the planted trees could be irrigated as desired, without any damage to the fields. In this area, it was very difficult to find wood for building houses, and it was necessary to search hard. However, from the upper and lower parts, without effort, one could easily buy the desired wood from various timber markets. Sometimes the local government would also give a lot, but most of it was purchased at an estimated price, and everything became easy to buy and find. Even those very thick and difficult to move logs, there was no difficulty in transporting them from far away, and no accidents occurred. Similarly, gold and copper were also like that. Although all of it had been used up before the construction of the Maitreya statue of Jonang, after that, the local government distributed hundreds of taels of gold about six times, and also gave a lot of copper before and after. In general, in this bad time, people's wealth has decreased, gold is scarce, and fewer people donate. However, in these southern regions, even if it is obtained from the income of the monasteries, gold and copper can be obtained at will, and it becomes very easy. In general, if compared to a hundred years ago, or to the time when the Maitreya statue of Rong and the Maitreya statue of Ngamring were built, then...
