It is said that there is no need for doubts like grasping and holding on. Fifth, training in the appearance of the deity as the main focus, includes: complete clarity, stable pride, and pure mindfulness, these three. Among these, the former is the actual instruction of the generation stage, while the latter two should be understood as being like limbs, through abandoning adverse conditions and accomplishing favorable conditions. This is what Geshe Tulku said. Among these, first is the clarity of appearance: In general, if considered from the perspective of ripening disciples, offerings are arranged in front of a painted image made by a skilled craftsman, possessing the characteristics, and the preliminary practices are performed in detail or briefly as appropriate. Then, as stated in the Lama Gongdu, visualize on the crown of your head, on a lion throne, lotus, sun, and moon seat, the Lama Vajradhara as the embodiment of all refuge objects, and with devotion, offer your body, possessions, and everything, and pray to the precious root Lama, the embodiment of all Buddhas of the three times: Please bless my being! In particular, please bless the perfect samadhi of the generation stage to arise in my being right now! Thus, remember and pray. Visualize the Lama being pleased and smiling, dissolving into radiant red light and merging from the crown of your head, and rest for a moment in the state of being inseparable from the mind. Then, look at the thangka in front of you. Again, close your eyes and alternately observe whether a similar image appears clearly. Even with your eyes closed, if a similar image appears even slightly clearly, alternately strive to transfer the image to your own body and meditate. Once accustomed, practice with size, quantity, main deity, and retinue. In this way, either visualize the complete form clearly at once, or alternately learn to visualize each part of the body and ornaments gradually. In any case, first focus your mind solely on the main deity, from the top of the head ornament to the lotus seat, including the body color, face, hands, ornaments, and clothing, the black and white of the eyes, the lines of the hands and feet, the gestures of the major and minor marks, the emission of light rays, etc., extracting clarity from the smallest details. Moreover, it should not be like a flat painting on cloth, nor like a heavy object like a plaster statue, nor like a rainbow without consciousness, but distinguishing front, back, right, left, the thinness and thickness of the waist, etc., the internal

要学习如同诸佛亲临,他们已舍弃了尘世等,拥有清净光明的身体,具备智慧、慈悲和力量这三者的功德。一旦心专注于此,逐步显现出周围的眷属、宫殿、净土的庄严以及守护轮等一切景象。时而心专注于整体形象,时而心专注于各个细节。这种学习使本尊及其眷属的整个坛城清晰地浮现在脑海中的方法,被称为“形象清晰”。这实际上是一种通过专注于本尊来修习止观的特殊方法,是生起次第的精髓。因此,集中精力于形象清晰的观修至关重要。一旦对此熟悉,五种体验将逐渐生起。在此,必须按照仪轨和各自的经典来了解诸佛的颜色、手印等。一些共同解释的论述如下。《怖畏金刚根本续》中说:“如此每一尊圣像,都具备九种特质:亲切、柔软、迷人、优雅、具吸引力、年轻、清晰、闪耀、完美庄严,并充满光辉。”因此,寂静本尊具有九种特质:由于我慢转化为智慧,身体柔软;由于嗔恨转化为智慧,腰部纤细且匀称;由于贪欲转化为智慧,身体放松而不僵硬;由于嫉妒转化为智慧,身体正直而优雅;由于愚痴转化为智慧,身体年轻而充满活力;由于舍弃无明,身体纯净而清晰;由于智慧增长,身体闪耀而光彩夺目;由于具足相好,身体庄严而令人愉悦;由于伟大的功德压倒一切,身体充满威严。前五种是本体的功德,后四种是形象的功德。此外,安住在清净明亮的各种光芒之中,为了象征着减轻所化众生的烦恼痛苦,身着由天物制成的五种丝绸衣物,并且为了象征着满足众生的愿望,佩戴着未舍弃欲望的八种珍宝饰品,总共以十三种装饰品来庄严自身。这五种丝绸衣物是:饰有金色天鹅图案的白色丝绸上衣,各种颜色的下裙,黄色的腰带或法衣,绿色的舞衣袖子,类似于上衣的袖子。

One should train to be like the Buddhas who have actually come, having abandoned mundane things and so forth, possessing a pure body of light, and endowed with the wisdom of knowledge, love, and power. Once the mind is focused on this, gradually bring forth the clear appearance of the surrounding retinue, palace, the arrangement of the pure land, and even the protective wheel. Sometimes the mind is held on the general form, and sometimes the mind is held on the particular details. This method of training so that the entire mandala of the support and the supported appears vividly in the mind is called "clarifying the form." This is actually a special method of accomplishing shamatha by focusing the mind on the deity, which is the essence of the generation stage. Therefore, it is important to focus the mind and meditate on clarifying the form. By becoming accustomed to this, the five experiences will gradually arise. In this context, one must know the colors, hand gestures, and so forth of the deities according to the ritual and one's own texts. Some common commentaries state: As it says in the Root Tantra of the Terrifying One, "Thus, each supreme form is endowed with nine qualities: friendliness, suppleness, captivating charm, graceful elegance, attractiveness, youthfulness, clarity, radiance, and perfect beauty, and is fully present with splendor." Thus, the peaceful deity has nine qualities: because pride is purified into wisdom, the body is soft; because hatred is purified, the waist is slender and shapely; because desire is purified, the body is relaxed and not stiff; because jealousy is purified, the body is upright and elegant; because ignorance is purified, the body is youthful and full of vitality; because ignorance is abandoned, the body is pure and clear; because wisdom is expanded, the body is radiant and shining; because the signs and marks are complete, the body is majestic and pleasing; because the great qualities overwhelm everything, the body is endowed with great splendor. The first five are the qualities of the essence, and the last four are the qualities of the form. Moreover, residing in the midst of various clear and pure rays of light, as a symbol of relieving the suffering of trainees' afflictions, one wears five silk garments made of divine substances, and as a symbol of fulfilling the hopes of beings by perfecting desirable qualities without abandoning them, one wears eight precious ornaments, thus adorning oneself with thirteen ornaments in total. The five silk garments are: a white silk upper garment with golden swan patterns, a lower skirt of various colors, a yellow belt or dharma robe, green dancing sleeves, which are like sleeves on an upper garment.
