Uncu Pa said, "Friends, from that, the cause is only five great resources." The meaning of this statement is explained in the "Prophecy Commentary": "If one does not have the five resources, that person is poor. Vow, Samadhi, Wisdom, Bodhicitta and Compassion, these five." In "Armor of Darkness," it says, "Among the cause of practice and the cause to be obtained, here, both the blessing of the Lama who is rich in the five uncommon resources and the disciple who is also a vessel with five qualities should be measured together." Therefore, the cause to be obtained is the blessing of the Lama who has the five resources, and the cause to be conferred is the disciple who has the vessel of five complete or potentially complete resources. Also, from the Root Tantra: "Having the vessel, perfecting the essence, realizing the empowerment, it is said to be the cause of obtaining the supreme empowerment." In the commentary on this, it says, "Having abandoned the faults of the three doors, possessing all the qualities, reaching the standard of explanation, having understood all that is to be known, and possessing the knowledge of the faults and qualities of empowerment, is the cause of obtaining empowerment, that is, only possessing the five resources." Secondly, there are four parts: Explaining the disciple to whom the empowerment is conferred as the causal condition; explaining the teacher by whom the empowerment is conferred as the dominant condition; explaining the determination of the object condition, including the additional meaning; and examining the sequence of empowerment that arises from the immediate condition. The first part has two aspects: the characteristics of the disciple who is a vessel to be accepted, and the disciple who is not a vessel to be rejected. First, in general, one who possesses faith, diligence, and wisdom, who enjoys meditation and practice, who is generous in giving for the Dharma, who trusts in vows, and so on, possesses qualities. As the Tantra says: "One who enjoys practice and meditation, who always respects the Lama, who makes offerings to the Lama in the three times, is a disciple who possesses qualities." In particular, the vessel for bestowing empowerment is described in the Root Tantra: "Having the vessel, perfecting the essence, realizing the empowerment, it is said to be the cause of obtaining the supreme empowerment." The meaning of this is explained by Hummdze in "The Lamp of the Yogi's Earth": "The vessel is the person, that is, the qualities of nature. The essence is the characteristic of what should be learned, that is, the qualities of manifestation." Also, your Lama said, "The one who has the vessel is the disciple who is broad-minded, gentle in nature, great in faith, and without attachment."

这显示了获得灌顶的原因。精髓是不迷惑于一切所知，这是获得灌顶的原因。灌顶的意义在于，如果认识到大空性的状态本身就是伟大的扩展，那就是获得灌顶的原因。如是说。特别是，授予深刻利益的三种灌顶的容器次第的差别是：从《口诀秘密》中说：“具信勤苦行是容器，具有自他二利的精进，行为、智慧和等性安住。”因此，外部利益的灌顶传承之河流授予具信者。内部能力的灌顶，即生起之河流和成就灌顶名声之河流，授予具精进者。为自利而具能力精进者，听闻禅修；为他利而具能力精进者，讲说事业；为二利而具能力精进者，是金刚国王。甚深灌顶授予具苦行者。对具行为和智慧苦行者，授予世俗菩提心秘密灌顶和智慧灌顶。对具等性苦行者，授予胜义菩提心明觉力量的灌顶。那么，成就灌顶名声之河流属于哪五个能力灌顶呢？因为是成就悉地的近因行为灌顶，所以属于禅修灌顶。如根本续部所说：“获得进入内部的灌顶后，然后对一切行持成就的殊胜灌顶应授予。”因此。又，也通过与授予能力灌顶所获得的程度相结合的容器次第来讲述。像这样，如果信心、精进和恭敬达到程度，则获得听闻灌顶。如果四种事业达到程度，则获得事业金刚的灌顶。如果不间断的智慧达到程度，则获得讲述胜利旗帜的灌顶。如果具备经、理、诀窍的三种量，并且能够克服障碍，则获得金刚阿阇黎的灌顶。如果精通三藏等一切乘，没有宗派偏见，并且能够讲说和写作，则被认为是获得金刚国王一切经论灌顶的程度。如根本续部所说：“灌顶的程度是这样的：对具信者和具恭敬者，授予听闻秘密的伟大灌顶。如果四种事业的意义圆满，则获得行持事业的灌顶。如果以见解的目标看到法，则获得讲述胜利旗帜的灌顶。如果通达障碍并具备三种量，则

This shows the cause of obtaining empowerment. The essence is that not being confused about all knowable things is the cause of obtaining empowerment. The meaning of empowerment is that if one realizes that the state of great emptiness itself is a great expansion, that is the cause of obtaining empowerment. Thus it is said. In particular, the differences in the order of vessels for bestowing the three empowerments of profound benefit are: From the Secret Instructions it says: "A vessel is one who possesses faith, diligence, and asceticism. One who possesses diligence for both self and others. One who dwells equally in conduct, knowledge, and sameness." Therefore, the vessel for bestowing the river of the empowerment lineage of external benefit is one who has faith. The vessel for bestowing the river of the empowerment of inner capacity, and the river of accomplishment empowerment fame, is one who has diligence. For the sake of self, one who has diligence of capacity, listens and meditates. For the sake of others, one who has diligence of capacity, teaches and acts. For the sake of both, one who has diligence of capacity, is the Vajra King. The vessel for bestowing profound empowerment is one who has asceticism. For the two who have asceticism of conduct and knowledge, the secret empowerment of conventional bodhicitta and the empowerment of wisdom are bestowed. For the one who has asceticism of sameness, the empowerment of the power of awareness of ultimate bodhicitta is bestowed. So, to which of the five capacity empowerments does the river of accomplishment empowerment fame belong? Because it is the empowerment of conduct, the near cause of accomplishing siddhis, it belongs to the meditation empowerment. As it says in the Root Tantra: "Having obtained the empowerment of entering within, then the supreme and sacred empowerment of practicing accomplishment for all should be bestowed." Therefore. Also, it is taught through the order of vessels combined with the degree obtained by bestowing capacity empowerment. Like this, if faith, diligence, and service reach a degree, then the hearing empowerment is obtained. If the four actions reach a degree, then the empowerment of the action vajra is obtained. If unobstructed wisdom reaches a degree, then the empowerment of teaching the victory banner is obtained. If one possesses the three valid cognitions of scripture, reason, and instruction, and is able to overcome obstacles, then the empowerment of the vajra master is obtained. If one is learned in all vehicles such as the three collections of the sacred, without sectarian bias, and is able to teach and write, then it is said to be the degree of obtaining the empowerment of the Vajra King, the all-knowing. As it says in the Root Tantra: "The degree of empowerment is like this: To one who has faith and is diligent in service, bestow the great empowerment of hearing secrets. If the meaning of the four actions is complete, then the empowerment of performing actions is obtained. If one sees the Dharma with the aim of view, then the empowerment of teaching the victory banner is obtained. If one understands obstacles and possesses the three valid cognitions, then

上师金刚阿阇黎灌顶，对于三藏一切圣法，若能毫无偏颇地讲说，便获得遍一切处自在王的灌顶。如《怖畏金刚》中所说：具足信心且精进，于听闻思惟修不厌倦，则可授予听闻秘密的灌顶。四种事业的必要圆满，不迷惑于所作之事，则可授予羯磨事业的灌顶。若见以见解平等之义，讲说并开示王位，具足三种量，堪能忍受违缘的金刚阿阇黎灌顶，对于一切乘的次第，若无有偏颇且不迷惑，便获得遍一切处自在王的灌顶。如是宣说了根本续部的意义。彼之余文又云：堪能忍受违缘且具大苦行，断除诸过且具足誓言，则获得修持秘密灌顶之权。总而言之，所谓圆满获得一切灌顶，即是灌顶使自续生起真实智慧之时，所灌顶之器，学徒之自续必须具足九种功德，何为九种？即是圆满有漏之学处十种边际，如福德宝藏之地般，圆满修道之功德，以及亲近有相无相之三摩地，即是串习，以及聚集母续具誓和明妃等有种姓者，以及获得通达真如之见解，以及能修三摩地，以及获得见修之把握的暖相之征兆，以及为众人所敬重赞叹，以及证悟意义之体验，以及自他之事于四种事业无有障碍等。如《意集经》云：时为十边际圆满，以及亲近，以及聚集有种姓者，以及获得通达，以及能修，以及生起征兆，以及为众人所赞叹，以及证悟体验，以及事业圆满。二是，根本续部云：无信劣慧大虚伪，对于矫作者则断其命，此说彼为灌顶所焚毁。无有秘密健忘者，灌顶不退失。无信散乱昏沉者，灌顶不迁移。无器无髓皆空虚，彼则未得灌顶也。如是说。又如《意集经》云：诸位道友，何为障碍

The empowerment of the Vajra Master, if one knows how to explain all the three collections of sacred teachings without bias, one obtains the empowerment of the all-encompassing king. As it is said in the Fierce Lightning Tantra: "If one has faith and great diligence, and is not weary of listening, contemplating, and learning, then the empowerment of listening to secrets is bestowed. If the necessity of the four actions is complete, and one is not confused about the actions to be performed, then the empowerment of Karma action is bestowed. If one sees the meaning of equality in view, and explains and teaches the royal lineage, and is fully endowed with the three valid cognitions, and the Vajra Master can withstand adverse conditions, and is not biased or confused about all the stages of the vehicle, then one obtains the empowerment of the all-encompassing king." Thus, the meaning of the root tantra is explained. Furthermore, it says: "One who can withstand adverse conditions and has great asceticism, has abandoned faults and possesses vows, obtains the empowerment to practice secret empowerments." In short, the time when one fully receives all empowerments, that is, when actual wisdom arises in the mindstream through empowerment, is when the mindstream of the disciple, the vessel to be empowered, must possess nine qualities. What are the nine? They are: completing the ten limits of the training with outflows, like a field of treasure of merit, perfecting the qualities of the path of joining, becoming familiar with samadhi with and without signs, that is, becoming accustomed to it, gathering those of the same lineage, such as oath-bound sisters and vidyadharas, obtaining a view that clearly ascertains suchness, being able to practice samadhi, seeing the signs of heat, which are signs of confidence in view and meditation, being revered and praised by all people, gaining experience in understanding meaning, and having no obstacles in the four actions of self and others. As it says in the Gongdü: "The time is when the ten limits are complete, and there is familiarity, and there is a gathering of those of the same lineage, and there is obtaining clarity, and there is ability to practice, and signs arise, and there is praise by many, and there is gaining experience, and there is completion of actions." Secondly, the root tantra says: "Without faith, with weak intelligence, greatly deceitful, for the hypocrite, cut off his life. This is said to be burned by empowerment. Without secrets, forgetful, empowerment does not degenerate. Without faith, distracted and dull, empowerment does not transfer. Without a vessel, without essence, all empty, he has not obtained empowerment." Thus it is said. Also, as it says in the Gongdü: "Friends, what are the obstacles?
