Yes. Therefore, starting from gods and humans up to Atiyoga, by receiving the ten levels of empowerment, each of the ten bhumis encompassed by the four paths of learning purifies the ten obscurations, such as coarse karmic imprints. These ten levels of empowerment are also condensed into four rivers, which purify the three obscurations appropriate to each. These four rivers are sequentially connected to the empowerment of the four complete yogas. By obtaining the outer empowerment stream of tantra, similar antidotes to be abandoned below Kriya Yoga arise and cease. Similarly, by obtaining the three empowerments of inner empowerment, practice empowerment, and secret empowerment, similar antidotes to be abandoned of the three, generation stage, completion stage, also arise and cease. Moreover, although the four empowerment streams of the Sutra and the four empowerments of Highest Yoga cannot be separately corresponded by the similarity in number, the four empowerments of Highest Yoga are included within the four rivers of the Sutra. If explained in conjunction with the purification of the four empowerments, for example, the vase empowerment can also purify the three obscurations appropriate to each, but if speaking from the main aspect, the four empowerments are the means of arranging the auspicious connection for obtaining the four vajras of the ultimate fruit, the complete and perfect Buddha. Therefore, the vase empowerment mainly purifies the obscuration of karma, the secret empowerment purifies the afflictive obscuration, the wisdom empowerment purifies the obscuration of knowledge, and the fourth empowerment mainly purifies the subtlest obscuration of knowledge or the habitual obscuration of the ultimate transformation of subtle co-emergence. Although the four kayas, the fruit to be obtained, are inseparable in terms of essence, they are individually examined from the aspect of purification. As it is said in the "Golden Light Sutra": "When the obscuration of afflictions is completely purified, it appears as the Sambhogakaya. When the obscuration of karma is completely purified, it appears as the Nirmanakaya. When the obscuration of wisdom is completely purified, it appears as the Dharmakaya." By this example, the four empowerments purify the four bindus along with the transformation of the three doors, and the obscurations of the four states, and subdue the four maras. The vase empowerment purifies the obscuration of the body bindu and the obscuration of the waking state, and subdues the skandha mara.

将会摧毁。同样，通过秘密灌顶，在语滴的梦境状态中，烦恼的魔会消失。通过智慧灌顶，在意识滴的深度睡眠状态中，死亡之魔会消失。通过第四灌顶，在迁识滴的等持状态中，天子之魔会被平息和摧毁，到此为止就足够了。 第二，获得灌顶的方式和程度是什么？在《秘密口诀》中说：“获得灌顶的程度有三种：未中断地传承获得，以及直接获得。”意思是说，通过完全清净的仪轨接受灌顶，即使当时没有真正生起灌顶的智慧，也能获得洗净污垢或赋予能力的名称。就像依靠四种祈请的清净仪轨获得比丘戒时，即使没有生起禅定的智慧，也能获得断除邪淫行为的状态。同样，获得密咒戒律也能做到这一点。即使在灌顶时没有生起智慧，通过双运道次第的修持，也能在以后成熟为必定生起智慧的能力。这被称为“通过传承获得”。之所以这样称呼，是因为它依赖于灌顶时生起智慧而被命名为“直接获得”。否则，将“通过传承获得”定义为以后获得灌顶是不正确的。原因是，以后生起智慧的能力被赋予了“相续成熟”的名称。获得它也获得了“获得灌顶”、“获得密咒戒律”和“获得密咒誓言”的名称。这些与“相续成熟”意义相同，只是名称不同。无论是通过传承获得还是直接获得，关键在于，一旦在自相续中获得了灌顶的种子，它不仅会持续不断地存在，而且即使将未中断的传承灌输给他人，灌顶的加持之流也会不间断地注入到被灌者的相续中。这是因为从圆满正觉到根本上师之间，灌顶的加持之流必须持续不断地传承。正如前面所说：“自己获得后传给他人，以后会产生结果，那时觉性会自然显现。”因此，在灌顶之时，真实的智慧

will be destroyed. Similarly, through the secret empowerment, in the dream state of the speech-bindu, the maras of afflictions will vanish. Through the wisdom empowerment, in the deep sleep state of the mind-bindu, the mara of death will vanish. Through the fourth empowerment, in the absorption state of the transference-bindu, the maras of the sons of gods will be pacified and destroyed; that is enough elaboration. Secondly, what are the ways and degrees of obtaining empowerment? From the Secret Instructions, it says: "The degrees of obtaining empowerment are threefold: obtaining through unbroken transmission, and obtaining directly." This means that by receiving empowerment through a perfectly pure ritual, even if the wisdom of empowerment does not actually arise at that time, one obtains the designation of cleansing defilements or bestowing power. Just as when one obtains the vows of a bhikshu through the pure ritual of the four requests, even if the wisdom of meditation is not generated, one obtains the state of abandoning the continuum of immoral conduct. Similarly, obtaining the mantra vows also does this. Even if wisdom does not arise at the time of empowerment, by cultivating the two stages of the path, one is later matured into the capacity to definitely generate wisdom. This is designated as "obtaining through transmission." The reason for this designation is that it depends on the arising of wisdom at the time of empowerment, which is named "obtaining directly." Otherwise, it is incorrect to define "obtaining through transmission" as obtaining empowerment later. The reason is that the capacity to generate wisdom later is given the name "maturation of the continuum." Obtaining it also obtains the designations of "obtaining empowerment," "obtaining mantra vows," and "obtaining mantra commitments." These and "maturation of the continuum" are the same in meaning, just different names. Whether obtained through transmission or directly, the key is that once the seed of empowerment is placed in one's own continuum, it not only continues uninterruptedly, but even if the unbroken transmission is conferred on others, the stream of empowerment's blessing will also be continuously infused into the continuum of the one being empowered. This is because the stream of empowerment's blessing must be continuously transmitted without interruption from the perfect Buddha to the root guru. As it was said earlier: "Having obtained it oneself, one confers it on others; later, results will arise, and at that time, awareness will naturally dawn." Therefore, at the time of empowerment, the true wisdom

即使不是天生，以灌顶成熟的合理性是，在《经庄严论》中说：犹如伤口和食物，它们能够带来瘙痒和享用，如欲成熟一般。同样，在此所依中，平息两种过患，并且完全享用，即显示为成熟。如在波罗蜜多乘中，将所依本身安立为见道所断能够断除，以及能够生起见道的成熟之量。同样，进入无上瑜伽密乘之后，如果进行无间灌顶，那么今生就能断除所断的二障，并且因为具有能够获得所要获得的殊胜成就的能力，所以，灌顶的种子融入相续本身就变成了成熟之量。第三，如此获得后，有权听闻哪些法呢？在《口诀秘密》中说：内外秘密最究竟的法，能够次第听闻。因此，在所要获得的灌顶四河中，第一，获得相续之河的灌顶后，外在的生起引导者和苦行吠陀的乘，即瑜伽以下的全部乘，以及与它们共同的阿努自宗的法，主要宣说正义者，被允许听闻。第二，获得生起之河的灌顶后，内在的摩诃瑜伽乘，以及与它共同的阿努自宗主要宣说生起次第的法，被允许听闻。第三，获得名声之河的灌顶后，秘密乘阿努自宗的成就甚深方便的生起次第，以及与它共同的圆满次第随顺乐空双运的方便，被允许听闻。第四，获得圆满之河后，阿努自宗最究竟的圆满次第，俱生不变化的广大乐的方便，被允许听闻。所有这些都以“能够听闻”的力量来表示，从而有权听闻、讲说、修行一切。第四，获得暂时和究竟的果是什么呢？在《口诀秘密》中说：果是天界和解脱。这样说道。获得灌顶后，暂时的果是获得没有修持正法障碍且具足顺缘的圆满天界之身。特别是灌顶如何

Even if not innate, the reason for maturing through empowerment is, as stated in the Ornament of the Sutras: Just as wounds and food, they can bring itching and enjoyment, like desiring to ripen. Similarly, in this basis, pacifying the two faults, and fully enjoying, is shown as ripening. As in the Paramita Vehicle, the basis itself is established as what is to be abandoned by the path of seeing can be abandoned, and the measure of maturity that can arise in the path of seeing. Similarly, after entering the Unsurpassed Yoga Tantra, if one undergoes uninterrupted empowerment, then in this very life, one can abandon the two obscurations to be abandoned, and because one has the ability to obtain the supreme accomplishment to be obtained, the seed of empowerment entering the continuum itself becomes the measure of maturity. Third, having obtained it in this way, what Dharma is one authorized to listen to? In the Secret Instructions, it says: The innermost secret and ultimate Dharma can be listened to in sequence. Therefore, among the four rivers of empowerment to be obtained, first, having obtained the empowerment of the river of continuum, the outer originators and the ascetic Vedic vehicle, that is, all the vehicles below Yoga, and the Anu self-tradition Dharma that is common to them, mainly those who teach the definitive meaning, are allowed to be listened to. Second, having obtained the empowerment of the river of arising, the inner Mahayoga vehicle, and the Anu self-tradition Dharma that is common to it, mainly those who teach the generation stage, are allowed to be listened to. Third, having obtained the empowerment of the river of fame, the secret vehicle Anu self-tradition's profound means of accomplishing the generation stage, and the means of accomplishing bliss and emptiness in accordance with the completion stage that is common to it, are allowed to be listened to. Fourth, having obtained the river of completion, the ultimate completion stage of the Anu self-tradition, the means of accomplishing the great bliss of co-emergent non-change, are allowed to be listened to. All of these are indicated by the power of "can be listened to," thus authorizing all listening, explanation, and practice. Fourth, what temporary and ultimate fruit is obtained? In the Secret Instructions, it says: The fruit is heaven and liberation. Thus it is said. Having obtained empowerment, the temporary fruit is obtaining a perfect heavenly body that has no obstacles to practicing the holy Dharma and is complete with favorable conditions. Especially how empowerment

通过修习成熟和随顺的两种次第道，所有事业和共同成就都会实现，最终获得包含有学和无学双运的至高成就，即无上解脱的果位。第五，获得之必要在于行持地道：密诀中说：“道达究竟与力达究竟，持明以及善逝，此为行持五道之必要。”因此，四河灌顶是连接上上道的缘起关键。灌顶的种子一旦播入相续，通过两种次第道的良好修持，果位不会拖延到未来，而是以快速便捷的方式行持地道。一般来说，凭借各自道的修行证悟达到究竟，该道成就二利的能力也会达到究竟。特别是，圆满的积聚和结合的功德，能够获得调伏和摄受的能力，从而圆满共同成就。并且，以持续修持结合道为近因，通过包含见、修、行三者的有学双运，依次经历持明智慧之身，最终有必要证得善逝之地的至高果位。第四，从取舍、过患和功德的角度进行区分，分为两种：未获得灌顶的过患和获得灌顶的功德。首先是未获得灌顶的过患。其中说到：“未得灌顶而行事，无果且将遭毁灭。”因此，对于那些未获得四河所包含的灌顶传承，擅自进行听闻、修持、讲解和书写等深奥密法的人来说，今生所修之果无有成就，并且由于滥用深奥佛法，来世将堕入恶趣，遭受剧烈痛苦，所有期望的愿望都将毁灭。正如《幻化根本续》中所说：“未令上师欢喜，且未获得诸灌顶，行持听闻等，无果且将遭毁灭。”以及《密集嘿噜嘎》中所说：“无灌顶与口诀，无论如何运用秘密义，如愚者挥舞宝剑，不仅远离所欲之义，
