Through the essential instructions of instantaneous realization, one accomplishes the desired result without effort. For example, just as darkness, poison, and substances, transforming a medicinal vessel into gold, a person without the essential instructions of alchemy, even with various arduous efforts, cannot succeed despite enduring suffering. But one who possesses the essential instructions, transforms it effortlessly, just as a medicinal vessel turns into gold. For accomplishing the goal of a great yogi, those who do not possess the essential instructions for transforming the ālaya-vijñāna, cannot succeed even with hardship. Who sees this secret of the mind? Those possess the essential instructions. Whatever the supreme object of desire may be, they accomplish it effortlessly. Thus it is said. Next, the third general meaning is to summarize the introduction by showing the benefits of teaching and listening to the Dharma in order to generate joy in those to be trained. Since the specific benefits of receiving empowerment have already been explained, here we will only discuss the general benefits of teaching and listening, which are divided into two aspects: the benefits of teaching the sacred Dharma and the benefits of listening. In the first aspect, there are three fruits: the fruit of a person, the fruit of maturation, and the fruit of causality. First, teaching the Dharma enables students to understand the meaning of the words being taught, the teacher purifies their own understanding, and together, the activities of teaching and practice make the Buddha's teachings clear and enduring. As it is said in the Sutra Requested by the Magician Rabtu Zangpo: "To purify the wisdom of oneself and others." And as it is said in Revealing the Secret of the Tathagata: "The merit of upholding the sacred Dharma, all the Buddhas diligently, even if they were to speak for countless eons, would not reach the end." Second, one will always remember past lives and will not become impoverished by the Dharma. As it is said in the Precious Garland: "For the sake of the Dharma and similarly, remembering the meaning of the scriptures, and through the stainless giving of the Dharma, one will obtain the remembrance of past lives." And as it is said in the Sutra Requested by Blo Gros Gya Tsho: "One who upholds the sacred Dharma of the Tathagata, will be endowed with mindfulness and intelligence, and will become intelligent, endowed with vast wisdom, and endowed with primordial wisdom in all aspects, the wise will abandon afflictions along with imprints." Third, temporarily, there is the benefit of teaching the Dharma to others.

成为可敬的善知识，最终成为究竟的佛法之王圆满正等觉佛陀，通过向他人讲授与解脱相符的果，获得涅槃的果，这比物质的布施更为殊胜。 正如慈氏狮子吼经中所说： 谁以恒河沙数佛土， 充满七宝而供养胜者， 远胜于谁为一有情， 施舍一句偈颂之功德。 以珍宝布施虽极广大， 然以慈悲施舍之偈颂， 其功德之量不可计数， 二三之数又岂能思量？ 另有经中云： 三千大千世界满黄金， 以此布施于人胜于彼， 仅说一句四句之偈颂， 彼之利益于此则无有。 这是仅仅讲述佛法的利益。 特别是讲述大乘佛法的利益，胜过将所有众生安置于阿罗汉的果位，书写并施舍大乘佛法的经卷，其利益更为殊胜。如《摄颂》所云： 所有安住之众生皆调伏成阿罗汉， 然谁书写此般若波罗蜜多， 并施予殊胜众生经卷，其福德尤为超胜。 因此，讲述密咒佛法的利益更是无边无际。如《秘密藏续》所云： 如来一切之， 手印大秘密心髓此， 证悟后若有宣说者， 彼即是我亦圆满灌顶。 又如《怖畏电光续》所云：宣讲此经的喇嘛金刚阿阇黎，不仅是殊胜之人，而且应视为无上圆满正等觉金刚持大士。 其他经中也说： 大乘秘密一句道， 无论落入何处者， 其人胜过无数声闻众， 以及无数佛陀与佛子， 以供养资具供养彼等， 亦不能及此功德之亿分。 《根本续》中云： 身语意金刚之， 意义确定修持者， 证悟之后若宣说， 以串习之语与愿力。

Becoming a venerable spiritual friend, and ultimately becoming the King of Dharma, the Fully Awakened Buddha, and by teaching the Dharma to others with the fruit that is in accordance with liberation, one will attain the fruit of Nirvana, which is superior to material giving. As it is said in the Loving Lion's Roar Sutra: Whoever fills Buddha-fields as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, With the seven precious things and offers them to the Victor with great joy, Is far surpassed by whoever gives a single verse to one sentient being. The giving of precious things is indeed vast, But the giving of a verse accomplished with compassion, Its measure cannot be counted, How could it be conceived as two or three? Furthermore, it is said in the Sutra: Better than filling this three-thousandfold world with pure gold, And giving it away, Is uttering a single four-line verse; Such benefit from that is not found in this. This is the benefit of merely teaching the Dharma. In particular, the benefit of teaching the Mahayana Dharma is that it is far superior to placing all sentient beings in the state of an Arhat. Writing and giving away volumes of the Mahayana Dharma is even more beneficial. As it is said in the Compilation: Having subdued all sentient beings dwelling as Arhats, Whoever writes this Perfection of Wisdom, And gives volumes to the supreme sentient beings, their merit is especially superior. Therefore, the benefit of teaching the Dharma of Secret Mantra is limitless. As it is said in the Secret Essence: The Tathagatas, all of them, This great secret essence of the mudra, Whoever understands and speaks it, That very one is me, and the empowerment is complete. Also, as it is said in the Fierce Lightning: The Lama Vajra Acharya who teaches this text is not only a noble being, but should be regarded as the Great Vajradhara, the Unsurpassed, Perfectly Complete Buddha. And in others it is said: A single path of secret Mahayana words, Wherever it may fall, That person surpasses countless Shravakas, And countless Buddhas and their Sons, By multiplying offerings and benefits to them, Even a hundred million parts cannot equal it. In the Root Tantra it is said: Those who definitely accomplish the meaning of Body, Speech, and Mind Vajra, Whoever understands and speaks it, By familiarity, speech, and aspiration.

那将成为正法之王，并且会成为功德圆满者。又说：谁在此宣说诸咒语，谁即成为秘密主正法之王。因此，应赞颂称扬此大乘秘密。这是第二部分，关于听闻者所获得的利益：仅仅听闻敲击法鼓的声音，也将获得菩提。更何况是为听法而前来的人呢？《犍椎经》中说：为了指示宣说正法的时间，敲击鼓或犍椎的声音，听闻者将获得菩提，更何况是为听法而前来的人呢？又说，听闻佛法能领会取舍之处。《菩萨藏》中说：犹如有眼者持有明灯，能够看见各种事物一样，听闻佛法就能辨别善与非善之法。又，《宝性论》中说：智慧舍弃烦恼及所知的一切，因此，它是殊胜的，听闻是它的原因。此外，听闻能知晓诸法，听闻能阻止罪恶，听闻能舍弃非义，听闻能获得涅槃。又，《无忧施授记经》中也说：阿难陀，与其以各种珍宝充满三千大千世界并布施，不如听闻此法类，哪怕只是入耳，这会产生更多的福德。又，《圣大悲如来藏大乘经》中说：如来佛眼所见的任何佛土，即使充满珍宝，如来亲临，若未听闻如此之法，我说此人福德甚小。谁听闻此具有殊胜意义、深奥而精微的甚深经典，并完全受持、忆持和读诵，此人将获得更殊胜的福德。又，《怖畏光明》中说：种姓之子，对于具足上师及其眷属，以及对此秘密乘生起信心和信仰，并以耳根听闻，且断除狡诈和积蓄者，要完全说出和衡量其成熟的善妙功德是极其困难的。

That will become the king of Dharma, and will become perfect in qualities. It is also said: Whoever utters mantras here, becomes the secret lord, the king of Dharma. Therefore, this great secret of the Mahayana should be praised and extolled. This is the second part, concerning the benefits obtained by the listener: merely hearing the sound of the Dharma drum being struck will lead to the attainment of enlightenment. What need is there to mention those who come for the sake of listening to the Dharma? The Gandi Sutra says: To indicate the time for expounding the sacred Dharma, the sound of the drum or Gandi being struck, the listener will attain enlightenment, what need is there to mention those who come to listen? Furthermore, hearing the Dharma enables one to understand what to accept and what to reject. The Bodhisattva Pitaka says: Just as one with eyes, having a lamp, can see all forms, so too, by hearing, one will come to distinctly know virtuous and non-virtuous dharmas. Also, the Uttaratantra says: Wisdom abandons all afflictions and objects of knowledge, therefore it is supreme, and hearing is its cause. Furthermore: By hearing, one knows the dharmas. By hearing, one turns away from sin. By hearing, one abandons what is meaningless. By hearing, one attains Nirvana. Also, in the Nirvana-Free Bestowal Prophecy Sutra, it is said: Ananda, rather than giving charity by filling the three thousand great thousand worlds with various jewels, if one hears this category of Dharma, even if it only enters the ear, this will generate more merit. Also, the Noble Great Compassion Tathagatagarbha Mahayana Sutra says: Whatever Buddha-field the Buddha's eye sees, even if filled with jewels, and the Tathagata comes, if one does not hear such a Dharma as this, I say that person has little merit. Whoever hears this profound sutra, which has excellent meaning, is deep and subtle, and completely upholds, remembers, and recites it, that person will have supremely excellent merit. Also, the Ngamglok says: Son of lineage, it is extremely difficult to fully express and measure the ripening good qualities of a faithful person who has faith and devotion to the lama together with his retinue, and to this secret vehicle, and who listens with the ear faculty, abandoning deceit and hoarding.

哦！如是说。《幻化根本续》中说：无论谁对此信奉，所有佛陀坛城，于一切方时中，坛城无余皆亲近，将被视为近侍之子。如是说。圣者龙树菩萨说：若从山王顶峰处，有些许坠落，心想不应堕落，然终将堕落。因上师之恩，获得利益之教言后，心想不应解脱，然终将解脱。如是说。总之，无痴是善之根本，因此，听闻佛法能使积聚变得广大，此生听闻功德之法，次第或顿然进入思维和禅修，最终之果将成佛。暂时的果报在此生也是，断除增益，智慧生起，获得一切恭敬和赞叹之位，修持道时，不依赖他人。总之，讲经说法的利益仅此而已，即使圆满正等觉佛陀也难以宣说，更何况其他凡夫圣者，已远远超出言说的范畴。圣者无尽慧经中说：圆满菩提心与法之执持，修法与众生之慈爱，此四者功德无边，其边际佛陀亦不能说。如是说。于此而言：无边诸佛心意之秘密藏，阿努瑜伽具德密集续，灌顶之总义续部教言窍诀要点，阐明之珍宝明灯今时燃。大密续部教言未暖之水藏中，涤荡二障灌顶之四河，自大宝上师事业降临之阶梯，降下遣除一切贤善者苦恼之甘露。依于何者之恩德，纵使如我般愚钝者，亦略微生起通达之想，自续部教言之海中，以微细智慧之发梢取水滴之状，略微撷取后著于文字之道。甚深广大续部之实情难以衡量，纵使孩童之慧眼明亮，亦仅能见及一隅。因此，对于矛盾重复颠倒之说等，一切过失，恳请诸位圣者宽恕。善说之功德聚光芒万丈，无边众生之母

Oh! Thus it is said. In the Root Tantra of Magical Illusion, it says: Whoever has faith in this, all the mandalas of the Buddhas, in all directions and times, will be close to all the mandalas without exception, and will be regarded as a close son. Thus it is said. The noble protector Nagarjuna said: If something falls from the peak of the mountain king, even if one thinks it should not fall, it will eventually fall. Having received beneficial instructions through the kindness of the guru, even if one thinks one should not be liberated, one will eventually be liberated. Thus it is said. In short, absence of delusion is the root of virtue. Therefore, hearing the Dharma will make accumulations vast, and hearing the Dharma of qualities in this life, entering into contemplation and meditation gradually or suddenly, the ultimate result will be Buddhahood. The temporary result in this life is also that by cutting off superimpositions, wisdom arises, and one obtains a position of being honored and praised by all, and when practicing the path, one does not rely on others. In short, the benefits of teaching and learning are only this much, and even the fully enlightened Buddha would find it difficult to express, let alone other ordinary and noble beings, it is far beyond the realm of expression. In the Sutra of the Inexhaustible Intellect of the Noble One, it says: The perfect Bodhicitta, the holding of the Dharma, the practice of the Dharma, and love for sentient beings, these four have infinite merit, and the Victorious One cannot speak of their limit. Thus it is said. Here it is said: The secret treasury of the minds of infinite Buddhas, the Anu Yoga glorious Guhyasamaja Tantra, the general meaning of empowerment, the key points of the tantric scriptures and instructions, the clarifying jewel lamp is burning today. From the great secret tantric scriptures and the water treasure that has not been warmed, the four rivers of empowerment that wash away the two obscurations, from the steps of the activity of the great treasure guru, the spring of nectar descends to dispel the suffering of all fortunate ones. By the kindness of whom, even if a dull-witted person like me, a slight understanding arises, from the ocean of tantric scriptures and instructions, taking a drop of water with the tip of a fine hair of wisdom, taking a little and putting it into the path of letters. The reality of the profound and vast tantric teachings is difficult to measure, even if the eye of a child's wisdom is clear, it can only see a corner. Therefore, for all faults such as contradictory, repetitive, and inverted statements, I ask the noble ones for forgiveness. May the light of a thousand suns of the collection of virtues of good speech, the mother of limitless beings
