0538.The Vajra Staircase, a Ritual for the Empowerment of the Great Collection Sutra. Dharma Shri..g2.0f

English

When looking at its own face, the nature of the three mandalas is inseparable, the inexpressible, co-emergent Suchness. The union of body and wisdom is the essence of the power of great bliss, therefore, let it be placed in that state. HOḤ! Secret wisdom and knowledge, inseparable great bliss empowerment, un sought great Bodhicitta, with the power of great wisdom, transforming all phenomena into illusory power, is the great power of perfection. Even if one does not obtain the mundane power of substance, words, and individuals, if one obtains the power of mind over the Dharma, then all victorious vidyadharas, and all powerful ones of the three realms, will bestow upon him the supreme power. Aho mahā sukha hoḥ namo. In the ten directions and four times... Fortunate vidyadhara, by bestowing upon you the empowerment of the power of awareness, may the obscurations of the habitual tendencies of transference be dissolved into the realm of co-emergent wisdom, and may you obtain the supreme empowerment. They have obtained the two empowerments known as the stream of complete secret empowerment, namely the conventional and ultimate Bodhicitta empowerments. Ati Yoga possesses the qualities of abandonment and realization, and the ultimate completion stage of Anu's own system of similar lineage, possessing the special ability to generate the wisdom of union. These three supreme empowerments primarily purify the three obscurations of afflictions, knowledge, and habitual tendencies, and cleanse the impurities of the three bindus of speech, mind, and transference. By stabilizing the wisdom of aimless, all-illuminating clarity, subtle latent habitual tendencies are purified, laying the foundation for the arising of complete Bodhicitta, which unites instantaneously at the fruition, in the continuum. One has the authority to listen, explain, and practice the profound completion stages of Anu's own system. From the four yogas, Ati Yoga, and the yogi who has completed the ultimate tenth bhumi, suppressing the Cici bhumi, ultimately becomes the yogi who has accomplished the three paths, and is fortunate to manifest the non-learning path of body, speech, mind, and wisdom vajra. The subsequent activities have three main points: explaining the four ways of taking the path, explaining the six essentials, and giving instructions on the key points and abiding meditation. The first main point is the four ways of taking the path, first is the vehicle's way of taking the path: the vehicle of Anu Yoga, in which there are also the inner empowerment, the practice empowerment, and the secret empowerment, which are the branch mandalas.

如根据各自区分而说的那样,甚深生圆如自宗般阐述的阿努,以及不甚深的生起次第和极其甚深的圆满次第为主显示的各部分,与上下乘的玛哈和阿底二者相似地阐述,分为生圆三者。此处将要讲解玛哈和阿努二者。首先,玛哈瑜伽也有六个方面。入门是:通过智慧空性大、方便悲心幻化和手印粗细这三种三摩地的门径进入。见解是:了知殊胜真谛无别,远离行境。如《幻化网总建立续》中说:“殊胜之平等无别义,名称数量如何说,然于意义言思皆超脱。” 戒律是:守护和修持根本的身语意誓言,以及支分的五组五条誓言等二十八条等,不违越而守护。修法是:以方便生起次第为主,通过三种三摩地的门径,将不净显现净化于法界的坛城轮,以及敲击金刚身的要害的圆满次第。行持是:为了遣除清浊的分别念,以无取舍的方便行持五种誓言物等。果位是:在此生或中阴,不依赖其他道,压伏莲花者的地位,现证圆满佛陀的果位。第二,阿努瑜伽也有六个方面。入门是:通过法界和智慧二无别的门径进入。见解是:认为一切法皆为坛城,三类无别的自性,根本是菩提心坛城,本来成佛。如《总续》中说:“一切彼性彼处一,本来成佛大乐性,无生无灭之精要,无作无为之三坛,本来成就任运成。” 戒律是:守护无守护界限的法性誓言,以及有守护界限的悲心誓言等,不违越而守护。修法是:随意义而行持的无相无分别,以及随文字而行持的有相本尊三摩地。行持是

As it is said according to the distinctions made separately, Anu, which clearly explains the profound generation and completion stages according to its own system, and the parts that mainly show the not-so-profound generation stage and the extremely profound completion stage, are explained similarly to the upper and lower vehicles of Maha and Ati. From the division into three, generation, and completion, here we will explain the two, Maha and Anu. First, Maha Yoga also has six aspects. The entrance is: entering through the three samadhis of great wisdom emptiness, skillful means of compassion illusion, and subtle and coarse mudras. The view is: realizing that the superior truth is inseparable and beyond the realm of practice. As it is said in the *Magical Illusion Net Tantra*: "The meaning of superior equality is inseparable, though names and numbers may be shown in various ways, in essence, it transcends speech and thought." The discipline is: guarding and practicing the root vows of body, speech, and mind, and the branch vows of five sets of five, such as twenty-eight, without transgressing. The meditation is: mainly the skillful means of the generation stage, through the gateway of the three samadhis, purifying impure appearances into the mandala wheel of the sphere of reality, and meditating on the completion stage that strikes the vital points of the vajra body. The conduct is: in order to reverse the thoughts of purity and impurity, practicing the five samaya substances, etc., with skillful means that have no acceptance or rejection. The result is: in this life or in the bardo, without relying on other paths, subduing the ground of the lotus-holder, manifesting the state of perfect Buddhahood. Second, Anu Yoga also has six aspects. The entrance is: entering through the gateway of the inseparability of space and wisdom. The view is: considering all phenomena as mandalas, the nature of the three kinds of inseparability, the root being the mandala of bodhicitta, originally enlightened. As it is said in the *General Tantra*: "Everything is one in that very nature, originally enlightened, the nature of great bliss, the essence of no birth and no death, the three mandalas of no action and no agent, originally accomplished, spontaneously accomplished." The discipline is: guarding the vows of the nature of reality, which have no boundaries to be guarded, and the vows of compassion, which have boundaries to be guarded, without transgressing. The meditation is: following the meaning, non-conceptual non-discrimination, and following the letters, meditating on the deity samadhi with signs. The conduct is

Practice within the equality of the expanse and wisdom. The result: In one lifetime, without relying on other paths, one will manifestly and completely awaken to perfect enlightenment at the great gathering of the Wheel of Letters. Second, bringing the deity path: Here, in the ritual of bestowing both inner empowerment and practice empowerment in a single mandala, there are no different deities. As the tantras and agamas say, whichever deity the flower landed on before, or the main deity of the mandala, the great and supreme glorious Heruka himself, is identified as the yidam deity. Moreover, one's own mind, the indivisibility of the expanse and wisdom, is inherently the nature of the union of the father and mother deities, knowing this to be so. Bring all appearances into the play of deities and goddesses. Third, bringing the essence path: The essence of the deity on whom the flower landed, or the general mantra Guhyajnana itself, is identified as the mantra to be recited. Moreover, bring all sounds into the indestructible mantra sound of emptiness. Fourth, bringing the empowerment path: The thirty-six supreme empowerments gathered by the four rivers, and the general and special precepts related to them, such as not transgressing the boundaries of vows, etc. In short, decide that all three—appearances, sounds, and movements—are the play of wisdom that is unobstructed in any way by the unborn expanse. See and meditate on all appearances of the container and its contents as the mandala of the support and the supported, all sounds as the sound of mantras, and all memories and cognitions as the equality of dharmata, and in the practice of meditation, do not transgress at any time or place, and learn the method of training all appearances into pure appearances. And, maintain unwavering devotion and respect for the noble guru who teaches this, and unwavering affection for the fellow practitioners who practice in this way. Second, the general meaning, explaining the six obstructions: The scripture says: Where, by whom, for whom, what is taught, why, and the need that is inherently present, here are the six inner obstructions explained. Explain this meaning by combining the two empowerments of what happened before and what follows. Where the empowerment is bestowed: What happened before, in general, is the self-nature mandala accomplished from the self-appearance of wisdom, and specifically, according to the ritual, the order of the four rivers: in Tushita, on the bank of the Nairanjana River, under the Bodhi tree, and in the dominion of
