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

English

Because it is Buddha, if you have not deviated from the state of being, there is no beginning or end, no birth or death, no change or transformation in the mind. Therefore, do not be distracted from it. In the space where all the faults of grasping and conceptualization have not arisen, there is no circling in samsara. Suffering is also empty, and qualities are also complete, so do not be distracted from your natural state. Therefore, activities need not be sought, and empowerments are never not obtained. That empowerment is the empowerment of the Buddhas. "Having" exists in one's own mind. "Obtaining" is obtained from the guru if one does not break the samaya with the guru. "Ultimately" one will go if one is not distracted. "Accomplishment" is accomplished by not altering or adulterating anything. All meanings converge into a single intention. Thus it is said. These are called the empowerment of great sovereignty through the blessings of truthful words, the empowerment of the power of awareness. As it is said in the General Sutra: "Lord of Lanka, obtaining through power is like this: The secret mind of the Victorious Ones, having realized it, to whomever it is revealed, is the supreme of all empowerments. The three realms empower with it." Thus it is said. That which is to be obtained is primordially present within oneself. Recognizing this is the completion of empowerment. Because one knows the nature of all as one, that itself is the empowerment in which all are gathered. Because one obtains mastery over all, it is the completion of the great primordial empowerment. As it is said. Then, in order to stabilize that empowerment, the body does not move, speech is not uttered, and whatever arises in the mind, one guards its own nature without effort, without removal, and without placement. Having decided on the primordial wisdom of the indivisibility of space and wisdom, in equipoise, clear awareness is naked, and the wisdom free from elaboration is the samadhi of non-conceptualization. And whatever arises in post-meditation, the experience of it becoming increasingly clear in the wisdom of self-liberation, may you never be separated from it. Thus it is taught. In order to stabilize that, the vase empowerment, which is a symbol, is: That is also from within the state of the dharmata of unborn suchness of space, the appearance of the wisdom-dharmata, naturally present and spontaneously accomplished, abiding without interruption, is symbolized by the vase and water. Having generated certainty that the mandala of the root bodhicitta, indivisible from space and wisdom, abides as one's own inherent nature, raise the vase and say: HUNG. Great bodhicitta, which need not be sought, by the power of great wisdom, the empowerment of all dharmas as illusion.

愿安住于当下之义!然后合掌,以对上师的依赖、抛弃世俗的虔诚和强烈的渴望,念诵以下内容:皈依上师法身!皈依上师报身!皈依上师化身!皈依上师 莲花生大士!如此祈祷后,念诵“啪(ཕཊ་)”!让它清澈明亮、毫无执着地安住!如此说。然后是赞叹:获得此灌顶,轮回涅槃的一切法,都确定为不可说为彼或此,由此,业障自然清净,果位法身和智慧自然显现。如此教导说:瑜伽士的业障之蕴,如狮子的身体自然崩坏般,若空性自性不坏灭,又怎会被他者所坏灭?以及,心的清水在虚空中,若无烦恼云翳的染污,成就的日月星辰便会闪耀,无碍的加持自然显现。诸佛圆满之时,天人等世间众生,以法王的权势,您将现证菩提。如是了解。然后是交付秘密:无论如何顺应旨意、心生欢喜,若非成为心之弟子,且不具备秘密之义,切莫谈论此灌顶之义!不说是最好的,若向不能保守秘密者宣说,那便是将密咒当作商品贩卖,欺骗了一切佛陀。如此宣告。由此,获得了胜义菩提心的觉性力量之灌顶。主要清净了习气的业障,以及迁识的明点垢染。道路、坛城三者无杂而圆满,有权修持胜义菩提心,成为能现证智慧金刚之果位的有缘者。后续之事有三个总义:宣说四种道用,讲述六个关要,给予安住禅修的窍诀引导。第一个总义,道用有四,第一是乘之道用:阿努瑜伽分为三的阿底瑜伽,其中有六:入门是:从无任何可入之门而入。见地是:认为自生智慧不成立轮回涅槃,故为本解脱,超越取舍。

May you abide in the meaning of the present! Then, with palms joined, with reliance on the Lama, renouncing worldly devotion, and with intense longing, recite the following: I take refuge in the Dharma-kaya of the Lama! I take refuge in the Sambhoga-kaya of the Lama! I take refuge in the Nirmana-kaya of the Lama! I take refuge in the Lama, the precious Buddha! Having prayed in this way, recite "Phat!" Let it rest clearly, brightly, and without attachment! Thus say. Then the exaltation is: Having obtained this empowerment, all the dharmas of samsara and nirvana are determined to be inexpressible as either this or that. By this, obscurations are naturally purified, and the fruit, the Dharma-kaya and wisdom, arise from themselves. Thus the instruction says: This heap of obscurations of the yogi, like the body of a lion collapsing on its own, if the emptiness of its own nature does not perish, how could it be destroyed by another? And, in the clear water of the mind, in the sky, if there is no impurity of the clouds of affliction, the siddhis, sun, moon, and stars will shine, and unobstructed blessings will naturally arise. When the Victorious Ones are completely perfected, the world with gods, by the power of the Dharma King, you will manifestly awaken to enlightenment. Understand as it is said. Then the entrustment of secrets: However much you comply with the command and please the mind, if you have not become a disciple of the heart, and do not possess the meaning of the secret, do not speak of the meaning of this empowerment! Not speaking is the best, but if you reveal it to someone who cannot keep secrets, that is selling the secret mantra as merchandise, deceiving all the Buddhas. Thus proclaim. By this, you have obtained the empowerment of the power of awareness of the ultimate Bodhicitta. Primarily, the obscurations of habitual patterns are purified, as well as the stains of the thigle of transference. The path, mandala, and three are complete without mixing, you have the authority to meditate on the ultimate Bodhicitta, and you have become a fortunate one to manifest the fruit of the wisdom vajra. The subsequent activities have three general meanings: to explain the four ways of taking the path, to explain the six crucial points, and to give the pith instruction of resting meditation. The first general meaning, the path-taking has four, the first is the path-taking of the vehicle: Anu Yoga divided into three, Ati Yoga, which has six: The entrance is: entering through the gate of having nothing to enter into. The view is: believing that self-arisen wisdom does not establish samsara and nirvana, therefore it is primordially liberated, transcending acceptance and rejection.

诶!《心髓大疏》中说:自生智慧无须寻,无勤殊胜乃寂静,解脱之后亦示解脱道。如是说。 戒律是:不违越无和破等誓言而守护。 禅修是:于自生之智慧,任何显现皆为法性之游舞而生起,是无有执著之禅修。如《总集经》云:无作菩提之本性,于无修之法性中,禅修是无有对境,禅定亦不可安立。如是说。 行为是:任何显现皆为法性之游舞而生起,故无有取舍。 果是:不需勤作任运成就之果,安住于智慧上师之地。 二、将天道取为道用是:于法界与智慧二无别大乐之游舞,显现为本尊父母之形象时,不杂而圆满地取为道用。 三、将心要取为道用是:气入、住、起三种,显现为三字之音声,以ཨཱཿ(藏文,梵文天城体:आः,梵文罗马拟音:āḥ,汉语字面意思:阿)字,认识一切轮涅为无生;以ཧཱུཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:吽)字,认识为无灭;以ༀ་(藏文,梵文天城体:ओं,梵文罗马拟音:oṃ,汉语字面意思:嗡)字,认识为二无别。如《总集经》云:心性乃是文字性,种种文字明现为ཧཱུཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:吽),胜者乃是文字性,手印圆满于ༀ་(藏文,梵文天城体:ओं,梵文罗马拟音:oṃ,汉语字面意思:嗡),一切乃是文字性,无生秘密之文字ཨཱཿ(藏文,梵文天城体:आः,梵文罗马拟音:āḥ,汉语字面意思:阿)。如是取为道用。 四、将灌顶取为道用是:秘密灌顶圆满之河流有两种,于彼及其后之甚深圆满次第道等,应修学如河流般之瑜伽。 总义之二、六断绝中,于何处传授之处是:于前为密严法界,于后为具相之诸处。 由谁传授之导师是:于前为普贤王如来等,于后为具灌顶加持传承之殊胜上师。 传授于何者之弟子是:于前为眷属智慧海等之众,于后为具极大根器,行智双运之苦行者。 传授何者之灌顶是:于前为果时之灌顶,于后为以基与道所摄之秘密灌顶圆满之河流。

E! In the Sutra of the Great Mind Expanse, it is said: 'Self-born wisdom is not to be sought, effortless excellence is peace, and it also shows the path of liberation after liberation.' Thus it is said. Discipline is: guarding against transgressing vows such as non-existence and destruction. Meditation is: in the self-born wisdom, whatever appears arises as the play of the nature of reality, it is meditation free from fixation. As the Kun Dus says: 'The unmade nature of enlightenment, in the nature of reality where there is no meditation, meditation is without an object, and samadhi cannot be established.' Thus it is said. Action is: whatever appears arises as the play of the nature of reality, so there is no acceptance or rejection. The fruit is: the fruit of effortless accomplishment without striving, abiding in the realm of the wisdom guru. Second, taking the path of the deities as the path is: in the play of great bliss, the non-duality of space and wisdom, when the deity's form of father and mother arises, take it as the path completely without mixing. Third, taking the essence as the path is: the three entries, abidings, and risings of the winds arise as the sound of the three syllables. With ཨཱཿ (Tibetan, Devanagari: आः, Romanized Sanskrit: āḥ, literal meaning: Ah), recognize all of samsara and nirvana as unborn; with ཧཱུཾ་ (Tibetan, Devanagari: हुं, Romanized Sanskrit: hūṃ, literal meaning: Hum), recognize it as unceasing; with ༀ་ (Tibetan, Devanagari: ओं, Romanized Sanskrit: oṃ, literal meaning: Om), recognize it as non-dual. As the General Sutra says: 'The nature of mind is the nature of letters, various letters are clear as ཧཱུཾ་ (Tibetan, Devanagari: हुं, Romanized Sanskrit: hūṃ, literal meaning: Hum), the Victorious One is the nature of letters, the mudra is complete in ༀ་ (Tibetan, Devanagari: ओं, Romanized Sanskrit: oṃ, literal meaning: Om), everything is the nature of letters, the unborn secret letter is ཨཱཿ (Tibetan, Devanagari: आः, Romanized Sanskrit: āḥ, literal meaning: Ah).' Thus, take it as the path. Fourth, taking empowerment as the path is: the river of complete secret empowerment is of two kinds. The profound paths of the completion stage that are related to it should be practiced as the yoga of a continuous river. In the second of the general meanings, the six breaks, the place where it is conferred is: in the past, it is Akanishta Dharmadhatu, and in the future, it is in all places that possess characteristics. The teacher who confers it is: in the past, it is Samantabhadra, etc., and in the future, it is the holy lama who possesses the lineage of empowerment and blessings. The disciple to whom it is conferred is: in the past, it is the assembly of the Ocean of Wisdom of the retinue, etc., and in the future, it is the ascetic who possesses great fortune and whose conduct and wisdom are equal. The empowerment that is conferred is: in the past, it is the empowerment of the time of the result, and in the future, it is the river of complete secret empowerment that is gathered by the ground and the path.

为什么要传授呢?为了见到自己所具有的法性的自性面容。如此传授的必要是:为了不把果实留在未来,而是为了现在就能显现获得。第三个总义,关于口诀自然禅修的引导,分为两部分。第一,与世俗菩提心的灌顶相关的圆满次第,首先学习观修度母的口诀:观想自己明观为金刚萨埵,在身体内部的巨大空性中,无有遮蔽和阻碍的中央是中脉,左右是左右脉,上端插入鼻孔,下端在脐下四指处融入中脉。观想头顶上方的上师父母,并祈祷。然后,观想疾病、邪魔、罪障都通过“桑”声清净,呼出浊气。将所有稳定、移动、轮回、涅槃的精华都吸入为风,将命根向下压,在脐下交合,不散乱地保持,风进入中脉,生起明、乐、无分别的体验。如果稍微不舒服,就放松一些;如果无法忍受,就通过“桑”声呼出,这是关键。如此修习的功德是:金刚笑所著的这个口诀中说:如果掌握了所依的度母,就能获得智慧的金刚橛,由此也能变得不可见,由此能掌握日月并运行。如是说。第二,关于安乐明点的口诀,分为两部分。第一,上门摄持调伏的口诀是:其他如前。观想顶、喉、心、脐四轮,以及脐下火轮中央燃烧的火之精华,种子字རཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:रं,梵文罗马拟音:raṃ,汉语字面意思:让),下身是风轮。头顶观想白色种子字ཧཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हं,梵文罗马拟音:haṃ,汉语字面意思:航),具有安乐的自性。然后如前一样持风,上方的风通过左右脉而来,与下身的风轮摇动,两者撞击火轮中央的རཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:रं,梵文罗马拟音:raṃ,汉语字面意思:让)字,火舌变得炽热、锋利、纤细而明亮,在中脉中向上燃烧,接触到ཧཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हं,梵文罗马拟音:haṃ,汉语字面意思:航)字,以安乐和温暖供养头顶的上师。以大喜悦融化为甘露,融入ཧཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हं,梵文罗马拟音:haṃ,汉语字面意思:航)字。从ཧཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:हं,梵文罗马拟音:haṃ,汉语字面意思:航)字中,菩提心如蛛丝般降下,清澈、明亮、具有安乐的自性,融入རཾ་(藏文,梵文天城体:रं,梵文罗马拟音:raṃ,汉语字面意思:让)字,滋养火焰,使其更加燃烧。由此,月亮融化为甘露,以精华充满全身的燃滴,一心专注于此,身体自然而然地感受到巨大的安乐。
