da pa. The cause of being born as gods and humans in the desire realm, practicing the four immeasurables, meditating on unwavering concentration, the cause of being born in the Brahma realm and so on in sequence. Thus it is said. If one has not taken the vows of individual liberation, and does not learn to practice the discipline of accumulating virtuous dharmas, but prevents breaking the vows, in the Samadhiraja Sutra it says: "The immoral go to evil destinies, much learning cannot save them." Thus it is said. Master Padmasambhava said in the Lamrim: "Whether all vows exist or not, those who have not taken refuge do not have them." As for the refuge in this context of gods and humans, now there is the teaching of the Thubpa, the Three Jewels. Take refuge in the Buddha Shakyamuni, who was enthroned as the king of the Shakyas and appears as the king, and in his law, the Dharma, and in the Sangha who abide in the law. Whether householders or renunciates, rely on them and ask for refuge. Furthermore, according to the Tibetan monastic rules, it is determined by taming gods and humans. I pay homage to the all-knowing one. Entering the gate of the vehicle of gods and humans and bestowing vows involves arranging supports for body, speech, and mind, arranging offerings, the lama making offerings, and the disciple prostrating. Sit upright and be liberated from the suffering of the lower realms and attain the special status of gods and humans. Therefore, think of entering the vehicle of gods and humans for as long as life lasts, and have them repeat it. If there was no previous connection with the Dharma, ask the teacher, or if there was, ask the master. "I, named so-and-so, from this time forth, for as long as life lasts, the best of the two-legged, I take refuge in the Buddha. The best of those free from desire, I take refuge in the Dharma. The best of assemblies, I take refuge in the Sangha. For as long as my life lasts, may the master hold me in the vehicle of gods and humans." Do this three times. Or ask the teacher twice, and finally ask the master to hold you. At the time of the last one, because the vows of learning are obtained, remain as the master. The master is the method. The disciple says "Excellent." ༈. Then, stating the precepts: To be born in the higher realms of the desire realm, abandon non-virtue and practice virtue to attain the higher realms. To be born in the higher realms of the form realm and the peak of existence, with immeasurable

此外,还宣说了需要不动的禅定的学处,因此,随自己的意愿和能力说出,承诺学处一次。上师对弟子说,从三恶道的痛苦中解脱出来,获得天人的殊胜地位,生生世世都能获得。为此,尽力断除不善,尽力成办善事,这样想,然后复诵。请上师垂念。如伟大的仙人或伟大的圣者阿罗汉们,先前进入天人的乘,乃至尽寿之间,断除杀生、不予取、邪淫、妄语、离间语、恶语、绮语、贪心、害心和邪见等不善,从不善中返回一样。我也以名为某某,从此时起,乃至尽寿之间,断除杀生、不予取、邪淫、妄语、恶语、绮语、贪心、害心和邪见等不善,从不善中返回。如伟大的仙人或伟大的圣者阿罗汉们一样学习,一样修持,一样行持。如伟大的仙人或伟大的圣者阿罗汉们,修持慈、悲、喜、舍四无量心和禅定之心而安住一样,我也一样学习,一样修持,一样行持。这样说。上师说是方便。弟子说善哉。邪见等,是说加行、后行。如果想要守护正行,就是不善十事加上酒,共十一事。现在,邪淫和断梵行,罪过有自性和在自性上加上遮止的差别。因此,将此戒律授予天人,就是如果以前没有法缘,就由僧人或导师授予。如果以前有法缘,就请上师垂念。我名为某某,从此时起,乃至尽寿之间,二足尊中之最胜者。

In addition, it is also explained that the discipline of unwavering samadhi is needed. Therefore, according to one's own wishes and abilities, one should speak and promise to uphold the discipline once. The lama says to the disciple, "Having been liberated from the suffering of the three lower realms, may you obtain the excellent status of gods and humans, and may you obtain it in all lifetimes. For this purpose, abandon non-virtue as much as possible, and accomplish virtue as much as possible." Think like this, and then repeat. Please, Teacher, consider this. Just as the great sages or the great noble Arhats, having previously entered the vehicle of gods and humans, until the end of their lives, abandoned non-virtues such as killing, not giving, sexual misconduct, lying, divisive speech, harsh speech, idle talk, covetousness, malice, and wrong views, and returned from non-virtue, so too, I, who am called so-and-so, from this time onwards, until the end of my life, will abandon non-virtues such as killing, not giving, sexual misconduct, lying, harsh speech, idle talk, covetousness, malice, and wrong views, and will return from non-virtue. Just as the great sages or the great noble Arhats learn, practice, and act, so too will I. Just as the great sages or the great noble Arhats cultivate and abide in the immeasurable minds of loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity, and the mind of samadhi, so too will I learn, practice, and act. Say this. The teacher says that it is a skillful means. The disciple says, "Excellent!" "Wrong view, etc." refers to the preliminary and subsequent actions. If you want to protect the main practice, it is the ten non-virtues plus alcohol, totaling eleven. Now, there is a difference between sexual misconduct and breaking celibacy, in that the fault is inherent and there is a prohibition on top of the inherent nature. Therefore, bestowing this precept on gods and humans means that if there was no Dharma connection before, it is bestowed by a monk or a teacher. If there was a Dharma connection before, then, "Please, Teacher, consider this. I, who am called so-and-so, from this time onwards, until the end of my life, the best of the two-legged ones."

I take refuge in the Buddha. Among those free from attachment, he is the most excellent. I take refuge in the Dharma. Among all assemblies, it is the most excellent. I take refuge in the Sangha. I, named so-and-so, from this time forth, until the end of my life, will observe the eight-branch fast, or whatever is appropriate, such as abstaining from killing. I request that a monk, a teacher, or an Acharya (spiritual teacher) accept this. At the end of the third recitation, one must say "Acharya." The Acharya is the means. The disciple should say "Excellent," although this is the same, like the auspicious time for fasting, on the eighth, fifteenth, and thirtieth days of every month, the eight-branch fast should be referred to as Acharya. A monk abiding in discipline, a teacher capable of demonstrating that discipline, and an Acharya who has obtained that discipline through blessings born in their own continuum, should be known as such. Like a king, even if he observes the fast, he needs a high and large bed, precious jewels, and gold and silver, so it is eight branches. Like a queen, she receives precious jewels, so the teaching of the nine branches should be repeated once. Taking the root of the fast's branches and the branches of the root, and knowing how to convert the number of days and nights taken, is necessary. Acharya, please listen. Just as the previous Arhats abandoned killing and returned from killing, so too, I, named so-and-so, from this time forth, on the eighth, fifteenth, and thirtieth days of every month, will abandon killing and return from killing. With this first branch, I will follow the teachings of those Arhats. I will practice accordingly. I will act accordingly. Furthermore, those Arhats abandoned taking what is not given, engaging in unchaste conduct, lying, drinking grain wine and prepared wine, places of negligence, singing, dancing, playing, the sound of musical instruments, applying perfume, wearing ornaments and colors, high and large beds, and untimely food. Likewise, I, named so-and-so, from this time forth, until the end of my life, every month

不与而取的鱼肉,天空日和初八不予取用,不行不净行,不说谎,果酒和调制的酒,导致醉酒,放逸之处,歌舞,嬉戏,乐器的声音,涂抹香料,佩戴装饰和色彩,大床高座,舍弃非时之食,从非时之食中返回。以这八支,我将随学那些圣者阿罗汉的教导。我将随之修行。我将随之奉行。 导师是方便。弟子说“好”。 总之,歌舞嬉戏香料装饰,杀盗淫妄为四根本。 酒香花鬘高床和非时食为八支。 在九支之上,如第八支一样。 根本在于,不包括住在布嘎方向的,即床座的腿高于一肘尺。 高于此者,如第十支一样,舍弃高床大座和非时之食,以及取金银,从取金银中返回,如是。 对于肉和酥油,舍弃非时之食和取金银,从取金银中返回。 以这十支,我成为圣者阿罗汉。 还有斋戒和良辰吉日,在那天的天空日是本体。 迎接鱼日和天空日,即初十、初一和十四也顺带提及。 再次,在宣说学处时,如此说道: 此外,随学那些圣者阿罗汉的教导,即是包含于此。 然而,必须明确解释内心的誓言,以及导师的教令和承诺之语的含义。 即使只吃一餐,也包含在舍弃非时之食中。 特别是在宣说学处时,安住于只吃一餐,舍弃反复进食,从反复进食中返回。 “我,圣者”等相同。 在守护三时或五时时,应结合此时机。 天空日的本尊是薄伽梵释迦牟尼佛。 守护天空日,能从饥荒劫中解脱长达千劫。 鱼日的本尊是无量光佛。 守护鱼日,能解脱万劫

With these eight branches, I will follow the teachings of those noble Arhats. I will practice accordingly. I will follow accordingly. The teacher is skillful means. The disciple says "Good." In short, singing, dancing, playing, perfumes, and ornaments are combined. Killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying are the four roots. Wine, fragrance, garlands, high beds, and untimely food are the eight branches. Above the nine branches, like the eighth branch. The root is that it does not include those who live in the direction of Buga, that is, the legs of the bed are higher than one cubit. Higher than this, like the tenth branch, abandoning high beds and large seats, and untimely food, and taking gold and silver, returning from taking gold and silver, thus. For meat and butter, abandoning untimely food and taking gold and silver, returning from taking gold and silver. With these ten branches, I become a noble Arhat. Also, fasting and auspicious days, the sky day on that day is the essence. Welcoming the fish day and the sky day, that is, the tenth, the first, and the fourteenth are also mentioned incidentally. Again, when proclaiming the precepts, it is said thus: Furthermore, following the teachings of those noble Arhats is included here. However, the meaning of the inner vows, and the teacher's commands and words of promise must be clearly explained. Even eating only one meal is included in abandoning untimely food. Especially when proclaiming the precepts, abiding in eating only one meal, abandoning repeated eating, returning from repeated eating. "I, the noble one," etc. are the same. When guarding the three or five times, it should be combined with this occasion. The deity of the sky day is the Bhagavan Buddha Shakyamuni. By guarding the sky day, one can be liberated from the famine kalpa for a thousand kalpas. The deity of the fish day is Amitabha Buddha. By guarding the fish day, one can be liberated for ten million kalpas.
