In connection with this, all the lineage lamas are great beings who are accomplished and vidyadharas. Because they have all been blessed by the excellent Samantabhadra assembly, the descent of blessings is unparalleled. Therefore, this empowerment, which possesses four connections, must possess five perfections of place. Among them, the perfection of place is: a dwelling that possesses characteristics, a palace of wisdom, a supreme city of great liberation, an eternal abode of auspiciousness, and a great place where siddhis arise. Therefore, it is important to abandon the perception of ordinary houses and view it as a palace of self-appearing wisdom. The perfection of the teacher is: a vajra master who possesses characteristics. Therefore, abandon the perception of viewing him as an ordinary spiritual friend, recognize him as the essence of the union of all Buddhas of the ten directions and three times, remember the kindness of bestowing the activities of the Buddha upon your own mindstream, be able to prevent ordinary appearances with strong devotion, and be able to transform awareness by remembering again and again without forgetting. In particular, if there is devotion with these four qualities, blessings will immediately enter, wisdom will come in an instant, and supreme and common desires will be accomplished without difficulty. Therefore, generate it in this way. The perfection of the retinue is: a disciple who is free from the three faults of a vessel, whose mindstream is stable and gentle, and who possesses faith, diligence, and wisdom, because they are endowed with characteristics. Therefore, all the Dharma friends here should cherish each other like the pupils of their eyes, with uninterrupted love and affection, and should view everything as pure appearances, as the play of gods and goddesses. The perfection of resources is: be certain that all the necessary items, such as the materials for sadhana offerings and empowerment, are the manifestation of perfect resources, as the field of activity of great bliss wisdom. The perfection of time is: this very time when the teacher, retinue, place, and resources are all perfectly assembled. In particular, it is also said in the "Definite Understanding": "At the time of initially generating bodhicitta, the ten material empowerments are completely given." As it is said in the sutras, generating the supreme bodhicitta after completing the approach is the time for empowerment. Therefore, now is the time to enter this good tradition of empowerment of the Gathering Sutra.

并发誓说，愿菩提苗永远枯萎。婆罗门去世了。之后，王子承受着自己恶行的果报，以及婆罗门的诅咒。在这一世，他的身体内外受到了六种疾病的侵袭，成千上万的食肉雌性生物聚集在一起吸食他的血肉。眼睛瞎了，舌头哑了，脚跛了，手也蜷缩了，身体也无法动弹。他的心也面临着菩提苗枯萎的境地。之后，他去世并转世，经历了十六层地狱等三恶道。无数劫以来，甚至连见到圣者面容如阳光般的机会都没有。从那些恶道转世后，他转生为众生中的一个名叫“赤裸腐烂之身”的生物。他的身体再次受到六种疾病的侵袭，遭受着痛苦。这时，世尊毗卢遮那佛以慈悲的目光注视着他，并从自己的心间化现了吉祥金刚手菩萨。之后，吉祥金刚手菩萨端坐在世尊面前，禀告道：世尊，众生中的这个赤裸腐烂之身遭受着各种各样的痛苦，这是什么样的原因和条件造成的呢？世尊回答说：金刚手，这个赤裸腐烂之身的众生，在过去无数劫之前曾转生为一个王子。由于他对一位婆罗门导师的身体做了各种恶行，并承受了婆罗门的诅咒，所以现在菩提苗也面临着枯萎的境地。他的身体充满了烦恼和痛苦。从那之后，他经历了地狱的折磨，没有解脱的时候。之后，金刚手菩萨禀告道：世尊，请您以慈悲心摄受这个充满烦恼的众生。世尊回答说：金刚手，你前去，用所有如来的加持力，使那个可怜的众生获得殊胜的灌顶，以此来消除他的痛苦疾病，阻止他再次堕入恶道地狱，并为他创造转生到善趣的机会。去做这些灌顶的事业吧！世尊如此说道，金刚手

and swore, "May the seedling of Bodhi be completely withered." The Brahmin passed away. Thereafter, that prince, enduring the ripening of his own misdeeds and the curse of the Brahmin, in that very life, his body was afflicted with six kinds of diseases, inside and out. A thousand flesh-eating females gathered and sucked his flesh. His eyes were blind, his tongue was mute, his legs were lame, his hands were also shrunken, and his body could not move. His mind also faced the withering of the seedling of Bodhi. Thereafter, he passed away and transmigrated, passing through sixteen hells and the three lower realms. For countless eons, there was no opportunity to even see the face of the noble ones like a ray of sunlight. After transmigrating from those realms, he was born among sentient beings as one called "Naked Rotten Body." Again, his body was afflicted with six kinds of diseases, and he suffered. Then, the Bhagavan Vairochana, with his compassion, looked upon him and emanated the glorious Vajrapani from his heart. Then, the glorious Vajrapani sat directly in front and said this: "Bhagavan, this sentient being, Naked Rotten Body, is afflicted with various kinds of duhkha. What are the causes and conditions for this?" The Bhagavan replied: "Vajrapani, this sentient being, Naked Rotten Body, in the past, countless eons ago, was born as a prince. Due to the ripening of various evil deeds done to the body of a Brahmin teacher, and the power of enduring the Brahmin's curse, now the seedling of Bodhi also faces withering. His body is extremely afflicted and suffering. After that, he passed through the mouths of hells and there is no time for liberation. " Then, Vajrapani said: "Bhagavan, please take this afflicted sentient being with compassion." The Bhagavan replied: "Vajrapani, you go and, with the blessings of all the Tathagatas, cause that wretched sentient being to obtain the supreme empowerment, protect him with these, eliminate the diseases of suffering, prevent him from being born again in the lower realms of hell, and do the work of bestowing these empowerments as a means to be born in the higher realms." Thus spoke the Bhagavan, and Vajrapani

尊者随喜之后，再次祈请世尊：世尊，请您解说一切灌顶的自性。这样祈请之后，世尊开示说：生于高贵的王族之时，当王室的臣民献上王位时，如同以强硬的言辞统治国家的土地所有者安住于国王之位。当世尊行菩提行之时，善逝天龙及其眷属，以灌顶之物加冕，从那之后现证菩提。同样，以手印守护处所，以秘密灌顶之瓶清洗罪业，以花鬘作为戒律的头饰，以五种净水去除习气，设立镜子法轮之座，以法螺、金刚交杵，以及七宝满足所需，以宝剑发出智慧的狮子吼，以日月代表方便与智慧，以弓箭代表止观，给予吉祥八物之果。讲述真实之语，以真实印证，以禅定唱出梵天之歌，汇集缘起之物，以灌顶仪轨进行灌顶。如是说，手印灌顶，秘密灌顶，宝瓶灌顶，花鬘灌顶，头饰灌顶，净水灌顶，镜子灌顶，法轮灌顶，法螺灌顶，金刚交杵灌顶，七宝灌顶，宝剑灌顶，狮子灌顶，日月灌顶，弓箭灌顶，吉祥八物灌顶，共有十六种。之后，金刚手入于如金刚般的等持，结出一切如来身语意金刚清净的手印，触及并驱赶众生腐烂身体的五个部位，成千的食肉女四处逃散。之后，以无有分离的菩提心灌顶，菩提心的幼苗得以复苏，加持成为具有如来藏者。之后，以如来悲悯加持的甘露宝瓶灌顶，身体不适的疾病得以净化。以鲜花花鬘灌顶，戒律花鬘得以圆满，堕入三恶趣

After the venerable one rejoiced, he again requested the Bhagavan: "Bhagavan, please explain the nature of all empowerments." After this request, the Bhagavan taught: "When one is born into a noble royal family, when the subjects of the kingdom offer the throne, it is like the landowner who rules the country with harsh words abiding in the position of a king. When the Bhagavan practices the conduct of enlightenment, the Sugata gods, nagas, and their retinues, crown him with the substances of empowerment, and from then on, he manifestly attains enlightenment. Similarly, protect the place with mudras, wash away sins with the secret empowerment of the vase, use garlands as the headdress of discipline, remove habitual tendencies with the five kinds of pure water, set up the seat of the mirror wheel, fulfill needs with the Dharma conch, vajra crossed scepter, and the seven precious jewels, roar the lion's roar of wisdom with the sword, represent skillful means and wisdom with the sun and moon, represent shamatha and vipashyana with the bow and arrow, and bestow the fruit of the eight auspicious substances. Recite the words of truth, seal with truth, sing the song of Brahma with samadhi, gather the substances of dependent arising, and perform the empowerment with the empowerment ritual. Thus, there are sixteen empowerments: the mudra empowerment, the secret empowerment, the vase empowerment, the garland empowerment, the headdress empowerment, the pure water empowerment, the mirror empowerment, the wheel empowerment, the conch empowerment, the vajra crossed scepter empowerment, the seven precious jewels empowerment, the sword empowerment, the lion empowerment, the sun and moon empowerment, the bow and arrow empowerment, and the eight auspicious substances empowerment. Then, Vajrapani enters into the samadhi like a vajra, binds the mudra of the completely pure body, speech, and mind vajra of all the Tathagatas, touches and drives away the five places of the decaying body of the sentient being, and a thousand flesh-eating women scatter in all directions. Then, with the empowerment of the inseparable bodhicitta, the sprout of bodhicitta revives and is blessed to have the essence of the Tathagata. Then, with the empowerment of the nectar vase blessed by the compassion of the Tathagatas, the diseases of bodily discomfort are purified. With the empowerment of the flower garland, the garland of discipline is completely perfected, and one falls into the three lower realms.

One has become empowered to turn away from ego. By the crown empowerment, even residing in the three realms, one is freed from the imprints of bad actions. By the spoon empowerment, the thick fog of ignorance is cleared and becomes clear. By the mirror empowerment, all dharmas are seen as reflections, dependent origination, and illusions. By the wheel empowerment, one is endowed with the feet of miraculous power and can go to all places in the three realms. The Brahma sound of the conch is perfectly complete. By the crossed vajra, one is protected from the ten directions by mantra holders. Then, the seven precious jewels come continuously from the sky, and by the empowerment, one becomes the supreme cloud of the irreversible wheel-turning king. Then, by the wisdom sword empowerment, the delusion of the three poisons of grasping and clinging is cut off, and all imprints are purified, and one is endowed with pure wisdom. Then, a majestic lion swift image is given into the hand, and by the empowerment, the opposing side is subdued by the sound of the ocean of scriptures, and in a single instant, one manifestly attains enlightenment on the essence of emptiness. The name of that physical body is Bhagavan Glorious Samantabhadra. Then, all the Tathagatas praise with "Excellent! Excellent!". Then, the sun and moon are placed in the hand and empowered. Immediately, the sun causes the great, limitless rays of wisdom to rise in the minds of all beings without exception, becoming warm and gentle. The moon simultaneously dispels all the darkness of the three thousand worlds, becoming cool and bright at all times and in all ways. Thus, the great state of omniscience is perfected. Then, the bow and arrow are offered, causing the pure wisdom of the union of skillful means and wisdom, the sphere of reality and wisdom, to abide at the peak. Then, it is said that all auspicious and accomplished substances, such as the Tathagatas, Bodhisattvas, the gods of Akanishta, the gods of the desire realm, the earth deities, the Brahmins of lineage, and the elephant king who thinks and knows with faith, and the glory of wisdom, etc., become excellent places of giving.
