03.Title of the Treatise.g2.0f

English

Speaking loudly and the way you behave in front of people, etc., should not be openly proclaimed due to the influence of the eight worldly dharmas. One should be humble in appearance but firm in inner resolve. In order to generate faith in the people of Minyak (Tibetan place name) village, one should pretend to be liberated, act with great compassion, speak as if one has attained realization, and showing off one's channels and energies is not allowed. Deceiving sentient beings will result in being expelled from the community of practitioners. Openly proclaiming will lead to root downfalls, thereby breaking vows. Our own behavior should not be two-faced; can one go to hell just to fill one's stomach? Abandoning hypocrisy and deceit is extremely important. However, if one says that one is not hypocritical and speaks vulgar words at will, doing whatever comes to mind, this is a great defamation of the Dharma, and one will also fall. The actions of body, speech, and mind should be purely virtuous. If defiled by evil deeds, one should immediately confess. Completely abandon possessions and stand like a tree on the mountain, without the name of "I am a practitioner." Even if someone harms you, repay them with kindness, and do not boast that you are kind-hearted. There is nothing that cannot be done; do not be self-righteous, thinking that you are a good practitioner, for only then can you reach the level of a great practitioner. If one is attached to one's homeland and relatives, and boasts of one's merits, even if one possesses all other merits, one's heart is rotten. All actions should be motivated solely by the intention to benefit others. Sleep, food, conduct, tormas, etc., and one's individual yoga practices should not be neglected. At all times, cherish unwavering devotion to the guru, renunciation, and faith. In terms of view, meditation, conduct, clothing, etc., avoid being too different from others. Even if you are the same as the masses, maintain your own style. Even if you have great altruistic intentions, do not frequently visit villages, and even if your appearance is dignified, do not be lax in your heart. Be sure to put these into practice. This is the fifth teaching on the behavior that practitioners need to pay attention to in the course of their practice. Furthermore, dedicate one's own merits to enlightenment: The merit to be dedicated is like an illusion, the dedicator himself is also like an illusion, the essence of dedication is the aspiration and intention for the fruition, and the words accompanying the dedication are also like an illusion, and the result of the dedication, attaining Buddhahood, is also like an illusion. Know that all phenomena are inseparable from appearance and emptiness,

To offer a prayer of unwavering faith: First, begin with all the Buddha's teachings, such as the "Good Conduct," and then say the following: With faith, renunciation, compassion, bodhichitta, and the meditation on reality, I, with prostrations, offerings, accumulations, rejoicing, deity meditation, mantra recitation, and whatever virtuous deeds I have done, especially the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, the lords of wrathful deities, Vajra goddesses, the holy images of sublime lamas and saints, repairing the damaged, building new ones, and constructing temples, etc., whatever virtues have been accumulated in the three times, may all beings, virtue, and the Buddhas including their sons, through the power of entering the ocean of pure activities, may I and all sentient beings equal to space, completely abandon the two obscurations along with their imprints, quickly attain unsurpassed enlightenment, and until then, may it become a cause of unobstructed bliss. May the single path of all Buddhas of the three times, the non-duality of emptiness and compassion, the supreme wisdom manifest, and may spontaneous other-benefit arise. May all diseases, evil spirits, and obstacles be completely pacified, may we be naturally liberated from all obstacles and wrong paths, realizing the face of dharmadhatu mind, may pure appearances become vast. May all beings who are seen, heard, touched, and remembered by me, and all countless beings who have gone before me, may all their karma, afflictions, and sufferings be quickly pacified, and may all happiness, goodness, and perfection increase. May the devotion of seeing the lama as the dharmakaya, and the spontaneous self-liberation, may there be no obstacles or distractions in practice, and may the pure intention liberate the minds of others. May we never be separated from the supreme lama, may we be blessed by all the yidams, may all the Dharma protectors be like servants, and may all connected ones accomplish great meaning. This was composed by Jonang Taranatha at the Auspicious Mountain, urged repeatedly by him and his friends who are well-versed in craftsmanship and have faith in practice. This was spoken at the urging of the artisan, the Tibetan scholar Dondrub Gyaltsen, and his pure companion Kunga Palzang. Auspicious! Urged by the command of the great Sakya ruler, Tara.

那塔说道: 犹如无垢虚空旭日升,无障智慧周遍所知境,离戏大悲游舞恒时现,无等至尊上师祈加持! 所知自性不可思议,名言言说无尽难测量,示道方式虽多有差别,然从要害把握乃如下: 具信之人无有造罪机,具出离者无有贪执懒惰,具敬信者本尊不离弃,具悲心者无有自利嗔恨。 黑白业果不欺生定解,言辞善巧口舌高谈者,举止虽佳然于罪不惧,乃是三恶趣之垫脚石。 口利力强财富具足者,亦是年月几许之荣华,临终命尽不由业力牵,傲慢之人危难降其身。 敌亲财物仆眷等等众,自主富有时当善加用,决定分离速疾定来临,无力渐离彼有何利益? 纵得天人财富亦不餍,烦恼三毒增盛积恶业,得生善趣亦增地狱量,小乐能成巨大之痛苦。 噫玛轮回自性即如此,若能善思何人起贪恋?亲友无有助益可盼望,最佳救护唯有上师三宝。 信心薄弱为自心暗所蔽,修习远离轻蔑骄慢之敬信,彼中出生圆满诸果报,一切法皆自心之自性。 佛法之根本乃心之取舍也,纵然自诩身语意三门勤修佛法,然于世间现乐之自利黑暗中,偏袒佛法之贪嗔鬼魅舞。 不悟自心本性烦恼起,恶业所牵六道中漂泊,如幻之错觉欺骗诸有情,莫骄慢当修悲心。 今当窍诀精要而教诫,自心离戏无有额外事,平凡觉性无作而护持,任何显现赤裸

Natha said: The characteristics of knowable things are inconceivable, and the expression of words is endless and immeasurable. Although there are many ways to show the path, if you grasp the essence of the heart, it is like this: Those who have faith have no chance to sin. Those who have renunciation have no attachment or laziness. Those who have devotion have no separation from the Three Jewels. Those who have compassion have no selfishness or resentment. Generate the definite knowledge that black and white karma is not deceiving. Those who are skilled in speech and have high opinions, even if their behavior is good, if they are not afraid of sin, they are the stepping stones to the three lower realms. Those who are strong in speech, have assembled forces, and are rich in enjoyment are also just a few years, months, and days of glory. When going to the next life, one is helplessly led by karma. Danger befalls those who are arrogant at that time. Enemies, relatives, treasuries, servants, retinues, etc., it is best to use them when you have the freedom and wealth. Since separation is certain to come quickly, what is the benefit of being helplessly separated? Even if you obtain the wealth of gods and humans, you are not satisfied. The three poisons of affliction increase and accumulate bad karma. When you attain higher realms, you also fill the measure of hell. Small happiness accomplishes great suffering. Alas, the nature of samsara is like this. If you think about it well, who would become attached to it? There is no hope of help from friends and relatives. The best refuge is the Lama and the Three Jewels. Those who have weak faith are obscured by the darkness of their own minds. Cultivate faith that is free from contempt and arrogance. From that, all perfect fruits arise. All dharmas are the self-nature of one's own mind. The root of Dharma is the acceptance and rejection of the mind. Even if you boast of diligently practicing Dharma with the three doors of body, speech, and mind, in the darkness of selfish desire for worldly pleasures, the demons of attachment and aversion to biased Dharma play. Not realizing the nature of one's own mind, afflictions arise. Driven by bad karma, one wanders in the six realms of existence. The illusion of illusion deceives these sentient beings. Do not be arrogant, cultivate compassion. Now I will give instructions on the essential points. There is no separate activity from the unconditioned mind. Maintain ordinary awareness without fabrication. Whatever arises, nakedly

安住自处吧! 特意造作的见修行, 乃是心智描绘的模糊图画。 若你自身安住之法未显现为禅修, 从他处寻求修持,徒显贫乏困窘。 若当下未能了悟自性解脱, 则仅是随波逐流,徒劳无功。 若未能认识显现之门即是空性的妙用, 仅是徒增枝叶,又有何用? 若未证悟,胡言乱语,如疯子般行径, 误将未作之态视为原貌,则根本错谬。 若未见无所执着的自性面目, 纵然安住甚佳,亦是愚昧昏沉。 离言之心性,其自性力量无碍, 莫向外驰求,安住于自明觉性之中。 任运显现即已足够,此乃禅修之最胜。 然若徒劳无益地空耗此身,则如未受记之树。 切莫让自明觉性,陷入迷乱之中。 纵然迷乱亦可,此乃安乐之巅峰。 恒常安住于无有作者与所作之中。 纵然有所作为,然所作已尽,即是无戏论。 莫随逐言语,寻伺分别, 令能作之念于自性中解脱,即是无相。 安住之法,乃是自在无拘之王。 若需勤作方能安住于法界自性,则无造作方为殊胜。 安住或游移,皆以不散乱为最佳。 若能觉察散乱之自性,即是安住之最胜。 法界自性中,任运显现之念头, 以及能作所作之勤作,显现后即于自性中消融。 如是了悟,则未作之态, 亦于自性中清净,无有造作与未造作。 能修所修于自性中空寂时, 则称一切显现皆显现为禅修。 如今,于行持彼等之时, 亦应善知修持佛法之方法。 若以强硬手段,贩卖自以为是的决断, 则如无舵之舟,坠入绝境深渊。 珍爱此庸常之身当舍弃, 执着一切显现为实有当摧毁。 若以实执之绳索越收越紧, 却欲了悟实相,则大错特错。 以无有偏颇之慈悲心, 将一切所作,皆用于利益他人。 若对违逆者、仇敌,心怀恶意, 纵言以嗔恨为道用,亦是虚妄之语。 莫为贪恋亲近之欲念所束缚, 纵然悦意之境,亦当视如梦幻。 此乃天神,能助我等, 故当恳切祈求,望彼救护。 此乃恶鬼,必将加害于我, 心怀恐惧,充满害意。
