02.Title of the Treatise.g2.0f

English

After praying intensely to the Lama Gonpo, the land of China and the entire space, about three days' journey, were filled only with accomplished masters, each with a great black-robed figure standing behind them, mostly resembling black-clad attendants. All of them had joyful expressions, prophesying various pasts and futures. Then, while continuing winter studies at Samding Monastery and engaging in mantra recitations, etc., in a dream, a great scholar named Abhayakara appeared, and I received the empowerment of various mandalas from him. Later, in Cholung, when requesting the Lamdre from Jetsun Rinpoche Dorongpa, during the Lamdre empowerment, in a dream, a scholar named Samshuddhikirti granted the Four Great Kings, and Tara Day-Peace Night-Wrath, not the usual Tara, but the practice cycles of another Tara, etc. I didn't forget it even after waking up. In the dream, I had an experience like seeing the deity directly in the center of the mandala. Then, one summer at Samding Monastery, I began studying the root Vinaya. While studying the Vinaya, the appearance of the venerable Sthavira Bharadvaja with golden face was somewhat more frequent. In addition, I repeatedly saw the appearances of almost all sixteen Arhats in dreams and experiences. The following year, I stayed in a dark retreat for about three months. During that time, I intensely meditated on both the supportive and conceptual aspects of the Six Yogas, resulting in countless uncertain signs and almost all of the certain ten signs. Afterwards, a very stable A-VAM (藏文:ཨེ་ཝཾ,梵文天城体:एवं,梵文罗马拟音:evam,汉语字面意思:如是) syllable, about the size of a pea, with six colors, repeatedly appeared in my heart. Whenever I studied virtue on top of whatever appearance arose, clear signs appeared. Also, at that time, I prayed intensely to the noble Amoghapasha, and as a result, I boarded a large ship with many people. Upon arriving at Potala Island, when I reached the top of Mount Potala, in a tall and spacious mansion with a flower garden and a bathing pond, there appeared a young Indian lay practitioner who claimed to be the master Chandragomin, with long hair, holding a stem of utpala flower in his left hand and a castle with lotus petals on top in his right hand, and carrying a book on his back. There, I asked to see or hear the illusory spectacle, and he replied that the lotus petals were the parasol.

变成了。在那里出现了一扇门,进入后,地方非常宽广,有很多野兽,山顶上全是寺庙,地面上有在家居士形象的菩萨,寺庙里也有很多佛陀和声闻。在那中间,进入一座小寺庙的门后,又出现比之前的王国更大的平坦地方,寺庙被树木环绕,看起来没有间隙地充满了。大部分的门都是夜叉,据说有的是羊头,有的是马头轮流守护。佛像也多是佛陀周围环绕着八大菩萨。人们看起来也像天人的身体。在那中间有一座寺庙,上面有两个瑜伽士,据说一个是那若巴。另一个看起来像是拉瓦巴。进入里面的时候,一个非常大的地方,中间是茂密的森林,边缘有很多宫殿。大部分是黑汝嘎父母的种类和忿怒尊等等。大部分人都是女性,在中间的森林深处,在一个婆罗门装扮的人面前,摆放着一块猪肉和几个酒瓶。从这里也稍微喝了一些佐古松,也喝了给我的。在那里,一幅四指宽的唐卡打开后,变成了一尊巨大的唐卡像。一尊佛陀父母像,在那尊像的心间,有一尊金刚亥母拥抱胜乐金刚的芥子大小的像,变成了蓝色的明点。一会儿,其他的显现都消失了。又在那里面看到了之前的所有,以及除此之外的很多净土。又将手放在那尊像的头顶。一会儿,变得无所作为。现在同时看到了外面的所有。感觉好像知道了所有人的心。在那里,上师说:“现在之前那个是如幻的等持,中间无所作为、惊呆了的是勇敢前进的等持,后面这个是金刚般的等持。”等等做了很多介绍。在那里,因为黎明的鸟叫声醒了。又在西边住着一位上师,用一个宝瓶灌顶,进入了比之前更多的坛城,深深地获得了十六明点的灌顶和口诀的定解。

Became. There, a door appeared, and upon entering, the place was extremely vast, with many wild animals, and filled only with temples on the mountain peaks, bodhisattvas in the form of householders on the ground, and many Buddhas and Shravakas in the temples. In the middle of that, upon entering the door of a small temple, another flat place larger than the previous kingdom appeared, with temples surrounded by trees, appearing to be filled without gaps. Most of the doors were also guarded in turns by yakshas, some said to have ram heads and others with sheep heads. The statues also appeared to be mostly Buddhas surrounded by the eight great bodhisattvas. The people also appeared to be like the bodies of gods. In the middle of that, there was a temple, on top of which were two yogis, one said to be Naropa. The other one seemed to be Lawapa. When entering inside, a very large place, with dense forests in the middle and many palaces on the edges. Mostly of the Heruka father and mother types and wrathful deities, etc., appeared to be many. Most of the people were women, and in the depths of the forest in the middle, in front of someone dressed as a Brahmin, a piece of pork and several wine bottles were arranged. From here, I also drank a little Zogsung, and also drank what was given to me. There, a four-finger-wide painted thangka was opened and became a large thangka image. A Buddha father and mother image, and in the heart of that image, there was a mustard-seed-sized image of Vajravarahi embracing Chakrasamvara, which turned into a blue bindu. For a while, the appearances of others disappeared. Again, within that, all of the previous ones and many other pure lands were seen. Again, I placed my hand on the head of that image. For a while, I became inactive. Now, all of the outside was seen at once. It felt like I knew the minds of everyone. There, the master said, "Now, the previous one is the illusion-like samadhi, the one in the middle that is inactive and stunned is the courageous-going samadhi, and this later one is the vajra-like samadhi," etc., and gave many introductions. There, I woke up because of the crowing of the morning birds. Again, a master was staying in the west, and with a vase empowerment, I entered more mandalas than before, and deeply gained certainty in the empowerment and instructions of the sixteen bindus.

啊,对了。在曲隆的时候,听说斯门卓瓦的相貌端庄的扎桑是转世灵童,并且也清楚地显现出圆寂的征兆,我告诉了所有的同伴。还有,在莲花岩洞里,我们坐在众多妇女聚集的前排。有一个人说要吃荟供肉。一个妇女梦见我变成了一只野兽被带走了,另外两个人宰杀了我,做了荟供轮。还有一次,从纳塘到江钦的时候,梦见进入了一个山谷的洞穴里,去了一座用一些闪闪发光的珍宝做成的房子里。在那里,一个年轻有活力的瑜伽士,自称是扎兰达拉的国王,递给我一个装满人肉的嘎巴拉碗,我吃了,味道难以形容。心想现在是去当持明者的时候了,梦见自己在空中无碍地飞行。第二天,尊者印度南方人布达古普达纳塔来了。在接受度母瑜伽母灌顶的晚上,今天我自己的身体变成了一座山。许多妇女拿走了那里的泥土和石头,正在建造一座像城堡一样的山。我正在能仁观音殿里。心想这大概是我自己的身体吧。在那里,给予了许多甚深之道,本来答应住一两年,但这次好像因为一些原因不能来了。以后再说吧。第二天,因为一些原因,他的想法改变了。这次把经典都讲一遍。只做一些口诀的章节。把观想都记在心里。说我要尽快去印度。在那里,几乎所有的扎兰达拉的多哈,以及上师自己所著的《七次第》,《自加持心之印》,以及《喜金刚》的教法等,都是根据他的口述记录下来的。观想都是根据范例,忘记的部分就做成笔记一样的注释。在劝他写作《七次第》的晚上,出现了八位自称是近位八大菩萨的俊美男子抄写员。他们把我的皮肤当成纸,用血当墨水,用肋骨当笔。梦见为了写一本据说汇集了所有经续的书,我献出了骨头、头发、指甲、牙齿等等,并且用内脏做了宴席。

Oh, right. When I was at Cholung, it was said that the handsome Zhaxi, the face of Mön Droba, was a reincarnation, and clear signs of his passing away also appeared. I told all my companions. Also, in the Padma Rock Cave, we were sitting in the front row of a gathering of many women. One person said to eat the tsok meat. One woman dreamed that I was turned into a wild animal and taken away, and two others slaughtered me and made a tsok khor. Also, once, when coming from Narthang to Jangchen, I dreamed that I entered a cave in a mountain valley and went to a house made of some sparkling jewels. There, a young and energetic yogi, claiming to be the king of Jalandhara, handed me a kapala bowl filled with human flesh, which I ate, and the taste was indescribable. Thinking that it was now time to become a vidyadhara, I dreamed of flying unobstructed in the sky. The next day, the venerable Indian Southerner Buddhaguptanatha arrived. On the night of receiving the Tara Yogini initiation, today my own body turned into a mountain. Many women took the soil and stones from there and were building a mountain like a castle. I was in the Chenrezig Temple of Nengren. I thought that this was probably my own body. There, many profound paths were given, and although there was a promise to stay for a year or two, it seems that this time it will not be possible for some reason. We'll talk about it later. The next day, for some reason, his mind changed. This time, I will explain all the scriptures once. I will only do some chapters of the pith instructions. Keep the visualizations in mind. He said that I would go to India as soon as possible. There, almost all of Jalandhara's dohas, as well as the "Seven Successions" composed by the lama himself, the "Self-Blessing Mind Seal," and the teachings of Hevajra, etc., were recorded from his dictation. The visualizations are based on examples, and the forgotten parts are made into notes like annotations. On the night of urging him to write the "Seven Successions," eight handsome male scribes appeared, claiming to be the Eight Close Bodhisattva Sons. They used my skin as paper, blood as ink, and ribs as pens. I dreamed that in order to write a book that was said to contain all the sutras and tantras, I offered bones, hair, nails, teeth, etc., and made a feast with my internal organs.

那(我)祈祷也没能如愿,一个月后前往印度。 那天心情不好。 清晨梦中,古汝(上师)来了,说:“现在我在你的头上建修行室,要住上百万年。” 这样,百万年后我也成佛了。古汝(上师)再次到来,心想真高兴啊,在高兴得飘飘然时醒了。 又在桑定(地名)过了一个夏天。 在一座非常高的山的顶峰上,有导师阿雅德瓦和一位自称玛当吉的班智达和瑜伽士。 显现出天空所能看到的所有范围,由彩虹光芒组成的瑜伽士天空坛城非常清晰。 在那里,他们似乎在做着带有手印、咒语等繁琐仪轨的法事。 祈请灌顶,一位唱歌的女孩,用铁瓶装满了柳树泉眼的泉水,说是献给上师。 在那里,那位上师对我说:“你分别念太重,你太傲慢,你诅咒瑜伽士。” 这样说了三次训斥的话。 后来,当这(梦)变成现实时,说这水能很好地洗涤。 还说了许多续部的意义。 清晨醒来时,大部分都没忘记。 当天早上就开始背诵四座大成就法。 半天之内,所有的词句都记住了。 所有的手印也都能勉强摆出来。 在此期间,即使只看一遍续部,也能很好地理解。 对于那成就法,以前既没有见过,也没有听说过。 又有一次,去了一个非常壮观的房子。 庄严的上师索南坚赞坐在一个巨大的宝座上,背后是六种装饰的靠背。 登上宝座,整理好法王上师的座位坐下。 (上师)用手放在我的头上,加持力非常大。 显现出一个外面被灰尘覆盖的佛塔。 问一个妇女,她说:“这是觉囊全知(衮钦·却吉嘉波)建造的,后来被灰尘覆盖,已经很久了。 灰尘越来越厚。 现在这佛塔里面还有加持力吗? 你要尽可能地给它挂上经幡。” 之后去了定结(地名),是因为戒律清净吗? 出现了许多清晰的体验、梦境等等。 之后在觉囊(地名),有一次在梦中,在纳杰(地名)的颈部

Even though I prayed, it didn't work out, and after a month I left for India. That day I was unhappy. In the early morning, Guru (Master) came in a dream and said, "Now I will make a hermitage on your head and stay for a hundred thousand years." So, after a million years, I will also become a Buddha. Guru (Master) came again, and I thought, how happy, and woke up in a daze of happiness. Again, it was summer in Samding (place name). On the peak of a very high mountain, there were Teacher Aryadeva and a Pandit and Yogi who claimed to be Matamgi. The entire expanse of the sky that could be seen appeared as a very clear Yogi's sky mandala made of rainbow light. There, they seemed to be performing a ritual with elaborate mudras, mantras, etc. When I prayed for empowerment, a singing girl filled an iron vase with water from the spring of the willow tree treasury and offered it to the Lama. There, that Lama said to me, "You have too much conceptualization, you are too arrogant, you curse Yogis." He said these three scolding words. Later, when this (dream) became a reality, he said that this water would cleanse well. He also spoke many meanings of the Tantra. When I woke up in the early morning, I had mostly not forgotten. From that morning, I began to memorize the great realization of the four seats. By midday, I had memorized all the words. I was also able to arrange all the mudras. During that time, even if I only looked at a single Tantra, I could understand it well. For that realization, I had never seen or heard of it before. Again, one time I went to a very magnificent house. The glorious and venerable Lama Sonam Gyaltsen was sitting on a huge throne with a six-ornamented backrest. I ascended the throne, arranged the seat of the Dharma Lord Lama, and sat down. (The Lama) placed his hand on my head, and the power of blessing was very great. A stupa covered with dust on the outside appeared. When I asked a woman, she said, "This was built by Jonang Kunkhyen (Kunkhyen Chokyi Gyalpo), and later it was covered with dust and has been for a long time. The dust has become thicker and thicker. Is there still any power in this stupa? You should hang as many prayer flags as you can on it." After that, I went to Tingkye (place name). Was it because of pure vows? Many clear experiences, dreams, etc. appeared. After that, in Jonang (place name), once in a dream, at the neck of Nagyal (place name)
