0465.The chapter on the supreme of offerings, the sixty seventh..g2.0f

English

If completely destroyed, those will always be the supreme of happiness. By showing and practicing it, supreme happiness is with happiness. Likewise, in the flexible intent of the teachings, the sutras and meanings are crucial. Therefore, if the great protector is held as sacred, and believed to be a sacred measure, then its way should also be sacred. When the lord of Lanka, that secret supreme lord, commanded me thus: Warrior Vajradhara, listen. Through the enlightenment of millions of kalpas, the teacher should be known as sacred. Why do the Buddhas of countless kalpas, arise relying on teachers? Without relying on teachers, Buddhas will not arise either. I have not truly seen them arise. If they arise, that would contradict the sacred way. For the sacred one with meaning, in all times of the three times, all the Sugatas and Victorious Ones who dwell in the ten directions, come forth, paying homage with mantras and aspirations. Bodhisattvas, gods and humans, as well as nagas, yakshas and rakshasas, all the vidyadharas gather, scattering all kinds of emanation flowers, teacher, virtuous friend, you are our father. Teacher, virtuous friend, you are our mother. Teacher, virtuous friend, you are our protector. You are the wise one who understands the ignorant mind, the guide for those who have lost their way, the lamp wandering in the darkness, the jewel that dispels suffering. Homage to the face of the sun, homage to the heart of the sky, homage to the body of the moon, homage to the feet of the lotus. Thus with joy and reverence, paying homage with mantras and aspirations. Therefore, all the victors and bodhisattva vidyadharas, arise from the sacred one, just as a mother gives birth to a child. Likewise, know the sacred one. The nature of the sacred one is also, relying on mind and taming, immeasurable vast wisdom, patience that can endure conditions, always upright, honest conduct without deceit. To all dangerous sentient beings, giving various fearlessness through skillful means. The hero has harmony and great diligence. For all objects of knowledge, appearing as desired. Even if asked in samsara, it cannot be exhausted.

考察且功德日渐增,真实语且言语不变异,如是所说如是行持,对于善与恶诸业,无有喜与不喜之分别。如兽中之王狮子,威严赫奕不入村落,舍弃喧嚣卑劣之诸业,远离漂浮与散乱恒常住,如狮子一般独自住。依止寂静之因与隐遁之路,此与何者相应乃是圣者之器,一切圣者皆是恭敬之对境。纵然自性不具彼,若具圣者之库藏与掌管,亦应视为圣者且行圣者事。纵然不识未悟一切法,然对于已成圣者之上师,恭敬供养若能大行之,则能超越轮回之大海。何以故,于良田沃土之上,播撒种子如是能增长,于圣者之福田良田之上,不失一滴亦能增长。救护轮回边际之,殊胜善知识有四者,根源与教证及自在,智慧决定具量有四者。彼中生起对治有四者,发心力与悔力及,业力与目标之力,能摧毁邪恶之诸力。能超越四条河流,一切相续皆得解脱,彼即成为圣者之圣者。如是说已寂然不语。因此于此楞伽之主,具慧者以欢喜与恭敬,对于已成圣者之诸君,于集会处三番作恭敬,以头顶触及彼之足。圣者或者未决定之诸众,聚集圣法等等,为了摧毁罪过,应作世间侍奉之意乐。对于何者诽谤增长之语,再三以意乐施加意乐之方便,以侍奉之语词划定界限,彼等应如是随适忆念。安乐与受用升起之时,成办意义祈请等等场合中,以相续柔和侍奉具恭敬,无有悭吝之心殷勤行持。从各方面谨慎持重,坦诚而言无有虚诳,何以故对于已成圣者者,若作未决定虚诳之业,则欺骗一切已成圣者,彼将堕入金刚地狱。精勤且具毅力品行贤善,能忍耐击打且能保守秘密行为贤善,谦逊

Examining and virtues increasingly arise, speaking truthfully and words do not change, doing exactly as spoken. Towards good and bad deeds, there is no attachment of liking or disliking. Like the king of beasts, the lion, majestic and dignified, does not enter villages, abandoning the activities of inferior gatherings, free from agitation and distraction, constantly abiding, like a lion, dwelling alone. Relying on the cause of solitude and the path of seclusion, whoever possesses this is worthy of being a noble one, all noble ones are objects of reverence. Even if one does not possess that nature, if one possesses the treasury and management of the noble ones, one should be regarded as noble and act as a noble one. Even if one does not know or understand all the teachings, by greatly honoring and serving the lama who has become a noble one, one will cross the ocean of samsara. Why? Because on fertile and well-cultivated land, planting seeds will increase and grow, likewise, on the fertile field of merit of the noble ones, not even a sesame seed is lost, and it will increase. The four excellent spiritual friends who protect from the edge of samsara are: origin, scripture, empowerment, and the four who possess the measure of wisdom and certainty. From them arise four antidotes: the power of generating bodhicitta, the power of regret, the power of action, and the power of aim. They destroy the powers of wrong views. One will cross the four rivers, and all continuums will be completely liberated, becoming the noble one of noble ones. Having spoken thus, he remained silent. Therefore, here, the lord of Lanka, with joy and respect, those who have become noble ones, in the assembly place, make prostrations three times, touching their feet with their heads. Whether noble or uncertain ones, gathering the noble Dharma and so on, in order to destroy faults, one should have the intention of worldly service. To the words of slander and increasing gossip, repeatedly apply the means of intention with intention. Holding the boundary with the word "service," remember those things as convenient. In situations of comfort, enjoyment, rising, accomplishing meaning, requests, and so on, with a gentle continuum, serve with respect, without stinginess, diligently practice. Be cautious and composed in all aspects, speak frankly and without deceit. Why? Because if one performs uncertain and deceitful actions towards those who have become noble ones, one deceives all who have become noble ones, and one will fall into the Vajra Hell. Diligent and persevering, with good conduct, able to endure beatings and keep secrets, with virtuous behavior, humble.
