03.Title of the Treatise.g2.0f

English

Although there are many rituals, it seems that the core essence is mostly the same. Therefore, here, from the perspective of the purity of the two truths, and the two of samsara and nirvana, the eleven empowerments are distinguished by the two truths. The second part is divided into two points: the pure distinction of the seven empowerments and the pure distinction of the four empowerments. The first point is: Water and crown, banner and hanging, Vajra bell and great dignity, Name and permission are all complete, Seven kinds of empowerment, lord of men. Body, speech and mind are also well purified, Manifest empowerment two by two also, Permission wisdom is extremely pure, Other realms, etc., are pure. Water is the purity of the realm, The crown is the purification of the aggregates, The banner is the purity of the perfections, Vajra bell is immutable and great, The Buddha's voice stream is uninterrupted, Sun and moon are united to purify. Realm and senses are also well purified, The unchanging vajra's dignity transforms, Name is love, etc., extremely pure, Permission Buddha himself purifies. These seven empowerments, Establish the mandala and give. As it is said. Among them, the distinction of the seven empowerments is, water and so on, that is, the empowerment of water, the empowerment of the crown, the empowerment of the hanging banner, the empowerment of the bell together with the vajra, the empowerment of dignity, the empowerment of name, and the empowerment of permission, etc. The purity of the four vajras shown is, body and so on, that is, purifying the defilements of the body, making the power of the body vajra manifest, the two of water and crown; purifying the defilements of speech, making the power of the speech vajra manifest, the two empowerments of banner and bell; purifying the defilements of mind, making the power of the mind vajra manifest, the two empowerments of dignity and name; and purifying the obstacles of wisdom or the obstacles of attachment and discrimination, making the power of the wisdom vajra manifest, the empowerment of permission and blessing. After that, the pure purpose and pure ability of the seven empowerments are shown in detail, other realms, etc., are pure, etc., that is, other kinds besides the four vajras, the other display of the purity of the five realms, etc., is that what water and crown purify are the aggregates and realms, dignity is shown from the perspective of realm and senses, others also need to understand what is purified, the banner

关于铃、杵、名、灌顶三者,从修习方法和修习结果的角度进行了阐述。对于其他灌顶,也需要结合这些方面。对于随许灌顶,则从生起次第和果位的角度,如同与天尊的清净相结合一样。对于其他六种灌顶,也应如此理解。水灌顶能够清净作为所净化的虚空、风、火、水、地五大元素。在道上,能够生起五大元素的坛城融入中脉的智慧。在果位时,能够成为获得智慧方面的五种智慧和金刚界自在母等五位天女果位的有缘者。宝冠灌顶能够清净识、行、受、想、色五蕴。能够生起五蕴坛城融入中脉的智慧,在果位时,能够显现方便方面的五种智慧和五部佛。丝带灌顶,能够清净十种风,并与十波罗蜜多的智慧相结合,使十种相圆满,显现十种明妃。金刚铃和金刚杵的灌顶能够清净太阳脉罗娑那和月亮脉拉拉那。由于月亮与命气相关,太阳与下行气相关,因此,左右命气和下行气融入中脉而得到清净。金刚杵是不生的大乐,是自利法身;铃是持续不断,是不可摧毁的佛语,是利他报身。此处如果翻译成“金刚不坏大铃,持续不断的佛语”,就容易理解了。这样,所净化的二脉得到清净,阻止二脉的运行,获得不坏的安乐和不可摧毁的智慧,坛城的主尊吉祥时轮和各种佛母得以显现。金刚行灌顶能够彻底清净六根和六境,并且能够使其他智慧的六根,其他空性的六境融入其中,从而生起明点不动的智慧,显现神通等功德,以及勇识父母十二尊的果位。明点不动的梵行即是金刚行。

Regarding the three: bell, vajra, name, and empowerment, they are explained from the perspective of the method of practice and the result of practice. For other empowerments, these aspects should also be combined. For the subsequent permission empowerment, from the perspective of the generation stage and the fruition, it is like combining with the purity of the deity. The other six empowerments should also be understood in this way. The water empowerment purifies the five elements to be purified: space, wind, fire, water, and earth. On the path, it generates the wisdom of the mandala of the five elements dissolving into the central channel. At the time of fruition, it makes one fortunate to attain the rank of the five wisdoms of the wisdom aspect and the five goddesses such as Vajradhatu Ishvari. The crown empowerment purifies the five aggregates: consciousness, formation, feeling, perception, and form. It generates the wisdom of the mandala of the five aggregates dissolving into the central channel, and at the time of fruition, the five wisdoms of the skillful means aspect and the five Buddha families manifest. The silk banner empowerment is combined with the purification of the ten winds, the wisdom of the ten perfections, the completion of the ten signs, and the manifestation of the ten consorts. The vajra bell and vajra empowerment purify the solar channel Rasana and the lunar channel Lalana. Since the moon is related to life force and the sun is related to downward-moving air, the life force and downward-moving air of the left and right enter the central channel and are purified. The vajra is the great bliss that does not arise, the Dharmakaya for one's own benefit; the bell is continuous, the indestructible speech of the Buddha, the Sambhogakaya for the benefit of others. Here, if translated as "Vajra, the great indestructible bell, the continuous speech of the Buddha," it would be easier to understand. In this way, the two channels to be purified are purified, the movement of the two channels is stopped, indestructible bliss and indestructible wisdom are attained, and the principal deity of the mandala, glorious Kalachakra, and various mothers manifest. The vajra conduct empowerment thoroughly purifies the six senses and the six objects, and enables the six senses of other wisdoms and the six objects of other emptiness to be fully engaged, thereby generating the wisdom of the immovable bindu, manifesting the qualities of clairvoyance, etc., and the rank of the twelve heroes and heroines. The celibacy of the immovable bindu is vajra conduct.

因此,由于对处所的清净,成就空色的身,而成为不可动摇。名灌顶使五业灌顶,连同五种行为一起清净;慈等五种无量之智慧;以种种事业调伏有情;显现十尊忿怒尊父尊母尊。此处第五无量是平等性无量。随许灌顶以象征圆满佛位,佛陀本身即是种姓主的清净。也就是,净化第六蕴界,即智慧蕴界;双运空性和乐之智慧;如理转法轮;显现金刚萨埵和般若波罗蜜多的果位。通过展示果时本尊的清净,可以间接了解生起次第本尊成熟之方式。与四金刚结合,也有成为生起次第四支成熟之方式。对于这些,蕴界是身体方面的主要部分,十气和二脉是法的属性,根、境和识是分别念的基础,因此是意的属性,智慧蕴界是乐的属性。安立智慧金刚,四金刚的清净便得以详细阐述。指示授予这七种灌顶的坛城是:七种灌顶等。通过“建造坛城”这句话,非常清楚地表明是在人为的影像坛城中授予灌顶。《大疏·真实义摄集》中说:“只在彩粉坛城中授予灌顶,而不是在其他绘画等坛城中。”但没有明确写明理由。班禅德瓦所著的《略说释》中说:“不是在绘画等坛城中,因为世尊的续部中没有这样说过。”从而明确地阐明了早期注释的观点。其中“续部中”这句话表明不仅仅是时轮金刚。有些藏人认为必须在彩粉坛城中授予孩童入坛灌顶是时轮金刚续的特点,而其他续部则可以用绘画,这种区分是邪说。

Therefore, due to the purification of the place, the empty-form body is accomplished, and it becomes immovable. The name empowerment purifies the five karma empowerments, together with the five actions; the wisdom of the five immeasurables such as love; tames sentient beings with various activities; and manifests the ten wrathful deities, father and mother. Here, the fifth immeasurable is the immeasurable of equality. The subsequent permission empowerment symbolizes the perfection of the state of Buddhahood, and the Buddha himself is the purification of the lineage lord. That is, purifying the sixth aggregate-realm, the wisdom aggregate-realm; the wisdom of uniting emptiness and bliss; correctly turning the wheel of Dharma; and manifesting the state of Vajrasattva and Prajnaparamita. By showing the purity of the deities of the fruition time, one can indirectly understand how the deities of the generation stage become ripened. Combined with the four vajras, there is also a way to become the ripening of the four branches of the generation stage. For these, the aggregate-realm is the main part of the body aspect, the ten winds and two channels are the attributes of the Dharma, and the senses, objects, and consciousness are the basis of conceptualization, so they are the attributes of the mind, and the wisdom aggregate-realm is the attribute of bliss. By establishing the wisdom vajra, the purity of the four vajras will be explained in detail. Indicating the mandala in which these seven empowerments are conferred is: the seven empowerments, etc. Through the phrase "constructing the mandala," it is very clear that the empowerment is conferred in an artificial image mandala. The Great Commentary, Compendium of True Meaning, says: "Only empower in a colored powder mandala, not in other painted mandalas, etc." But the reason is not clearly written. The Concise Explanation, written by Palden Gewa, says: "It is not in painted mandalas, etc., because it is not mentioned in the tantras of the Bhagavan." Thus, the view of the earlier commentaries is clearly explained. The phrase "in the tantras" indicates that it is not only the Kalachakra. Some Tibetans think that it is a characteristic of the Kalachakra Tantra that it is necessary to empower children entering the mandala only in a colored powder mandala, and that other tantras can use paintings, which is a heretical statement.

另一些大学者也说:“在彩沙坛城中,可以进行灌顶。”但其他续部禁止成熟灌顶。这样说,是心中记住了如概括所说的意义,因为续部中没有说,所以认为不应做而被禁止。然而,续部的这句话说的是,建造形象或画像的坛城后,可以进行七种灌顶,但对于画像中的彩沙、绘画等分类没有任何说明。也没有“不建造就不能给予”的说法。例如,说“天亮后念诵”,并不是禁止天亮前念诵。虽然这些注释是这样说的,但它们不是心要注释,所以不一定都要接受。即使可以接受,也必须解释为针对一般情况。在绘画坛城中,使未成熟者成熟的灌顶,虽然在现今存在的大多数续部中没有明确说明,但在一些完全清净的续部中也有明确说明。在续部之王《时轮金刚》中也说,对于上师和弟子都是一无所有、行为简朴的人,可以给予舍弃物质和用具的灌顶。在《略续王》中说:“无物的显现灌顶,胜者的主宰以教令给予一无所有者。”因此,从舍弃各种物质到完全舍弃,形象的坛城也是物质的一种。同样,身体的坛城也是如此。因此,如果仅仅在禅定的坛城中也可以进行灌顶,那还用说其他的吗?无畏生处尊者说:“即使富有,特别是对于具有坚定信仰的人,仅仅通过禅定的坛城就能使其成熟,这是说得非常好的。”《注释真实义略》等的观点是,因为“建造后”这句话明确说明了当时要建造,所以一起认为只能是彩沙坛城,因为在那个时代,在圣地印度,绘画非常流行,所以进行了讽刺。

Some great scholars also say, "In the mandala of colored sand, empowerment can be performed." However, other tantras prohibit the ripening empowerment. This statement means that they kept in mind the meaning as stated in the summary, because it is not mentioned in the tantras, so they thought it should not be done and was prohibited. However, this statement in the tantra says that after constructing a mandala of form or image, the seven empowerments should be given, but there is no clarification of the classification of colored sand, painting, etc. within the image. There is also no statement that "it is not allowed to give without constructing." For example, saying "recite after dawn" does not prohibit reciting before dawn. Although these commentaries say so, they are not heart commentaries, so it is not necessary to accept them all. Even if it is acceptable, it must be explained as referring to general situations. The empowerment that ripens the unripe in a painted mandala, although not clearly stated in most of the tantras that exist today, is also clearly stated in some completely pure tantras. In the king of tantras, the Kalachakra, it is also said that for both the teacher and the disciple who are destitute and have simple conduct, the empowerment of abandoning material possessions and implements can be given. In the Condensed King of Tantras, it is said: "The manifest empowerment without objects, the lord of the victors gives by command to the destitute." Therefore, from abandoning various objects to completely abandoning them, the mandala of form is also a kind of object. Similarly, so is the mandala of the body. Therefore, if empowerment can be performed even in the mandala of mere samadhi, what need is there to mention others? Jikme Jungne's presence said, "Even if one is wealthy, especially for those with steadfast faith, it is very good to say that they can be ripened by the mandala of mere samadhi." The view of the Commentary on the Abridged Meaning of Truth, etc., is that because the phrase "after constructing" clearly states that it should be constructed at that time, it is assumed together that it can only be a colored sand mandala, because at that time, in the holy land of India, painting was very popular, so a satire was made.
