大圆满之自生智慧光明法身, 自生自显大乐之界, 解脱诸相之如来, 究竟清净一切之圆满智慧体性, 难以言说。 自性任运自显现, 如海加持之大威德主。 三界安乐之受用境, 自性清净故无所舍。 离因缘故无生灭, 是故诸边皆为对治。 不作意,离勤作, 金刚能度三千世界, 体性难以言语诠释, 如是亦非心识所及。 真谛名言离二边, 执着自然而断除。 世俗诸显现,离去来, 于自性圆满中随意享用。 离增减故一切圆满, 柔软非由月亮所造。 圆满五妙之正等觉, 于二谛中自在游戏。 于任何亦无贪执, 以三时自生智慧故, 远离未来先知之境。 器情诸佛之事业, 为彼事业之故, 无有去来而周遍行。 不寻而得诸义成就。 于此处所说之法, 何者为河流之传承, 何者为诸业之殊胜, 何者具足,何者精通, 何者即是获得者, 于自他一切皆知名。 当说深奥灌顶之相, 名声以及变化, 如是威权与生起, 称为次第获得之相。 复次,若言其身, 不得、不着、不染、不焚, 信劣、慧劣、虚伪大, 于持律者前显露。 彼说为灌顶所焚。 无秘密、忘四、灌顶不坏, 无信心、散乱昏沉不需灌顶, 忿怒暴戾、性急吝啬者, 无器、无精华、一切皆空。 彼非获得灌顶者。 当说重大意义之果, 即是道果之究竟, 道果具足五种瑜伽。 次第以灌顶而行持, 净除诸障,镇伏诸地。 究竟真实之大法身, 所谓自性身者, 即是如实之体性。 当说灌顶之过患, 不舍誓言而享用物, 不隐瞒过失而承诺

The Great Perfection of Spontaneous Skillfulness. The self-aware, radiant Dharmakaya, The spontaneously arising, self-manifesting expanse of great bliss, The Tathagata liberated from manifold attachments. The essence of fully perfected primordial wisdom, having purified all to the ultimate limit, is difficult to describe. Self-existing, spontaneously accomplished, appearing within oneself, The glorious lord, the manner of blessing like an ocean. The realms of enjoyment, the expanse of bliss in the three realms, Are naturally pure, so there is nothing to abandon. Free from cause and condition, there is no birth or fear. Therefore, all extremes are great antidotes. Without making characteristics, free from effort, The Vajra liberates the three thousand worlds entirely. Its essence is difficult to express in words. Likewise, it is not touched by the mind. The term of truth is greatly free from duality. Attachment is naturally severed. All conventional appearances are free from going and coming. Complete within oneself, one enjoys whatever one wishes. Free from increase and decrease, therefore all is complete. Softness is not created by the moon. The five supreme wonders are fully enlightened. One delights in the two realities themselves. There is no grasping or attachment to anything. Because of the self-arising wisdom of the three times, It is separate from the object of future foreknowledge. All the deeds of the victorious ones of the vessel and essence, Because of practicing that very activity, It moves everywhere without going or coming. It accomplishes all purposes without seeking. Whatever Dharma is taught here, Whatever arises from the lineage of rivers, Whatever is superior in all actions, Whatever is endowed and whatever is skilled, Whatever is indeed the one who has attained, Is known to all, self and other. To explain the signs of the profound empowerment, Fame and change, Likewise, power and arising, Are called the signs of gradual attainment. Furthermore, whatever is said about the body, Not attained, not attached, not stained, not burned. Weak faith, weak intelligence, great hypocrisy, Revealed before the Vinaya masters. That is said to be burned by empowerment. No secrecy, forgetting four, empowerment does not break, No faith, distracted and dull, empowerment is not needed, Wrathful and fierce, impatient and stingy, Without vessel, without essence, all is empty. That is not one who has obtained empowerment. To speak of the fruit of great meaning, It is the ultimate result of the path, The path and fruit are endowed with five yogas. Gradually proceeding through empowerment, Purifying each obscuration and subduing each ground. The ultimate, truly great Dharmakaya, What is called the Svabhavikakaya, Is the very nature of reality. To explain what the faults of empowerment are, Using substances without abandoning vows, Promising without concealing faults.

加持。 未得灌顶而作,心识漂泊堕三恶趣。 此为总集密意之大秘密, 未闻而妄说, 纵然寻遍一切教法, 亦不能得见圣者。 如是闻法者亦如是。 如是功德之殊胜, 任何外灌顶之时, 自此之后,诸佛之子, 恶趣种子穷尽, 长寿安乐圆满具足, 不生于无暇之处, 不为乐源王所役使, 不离大乘教法, 从彼基获得殊胜解脱, 共同与不共如经所说而结合。 此极秘密之殊胜灌顶, 对于非器之人, 于外内秘密三者中, 亦以保密之方便而行持, 秘密之法皆应保密。 对于非为教法之所依之恶器, 以四种方式摄持之差别, 为令未来具精要之瑜伽士, 知晓后而舍弃故说。 世间人与小乘, 以及外道乐于邪见之见, 无信具慧散乱愚昧者, 不勤听闻教诲如同旁生。 违背誓言、破誓言、偏离意义, 菩提之绳从根断, 心之苗芽根已焦, 没入恶趣之泥潭。 对于彼等非器之倒覆者, 宣说秘密非所应为, 若说则彼亦将倒覆。 纵然口说秘密之义, 亦不知隐藏之秘密义。 对于具过失之邪途者, 更应宣说秘密之义。 对于念诵修持秘密之语, 虽听其声亦不求其义, 不能保守精要之义密, 则为无有精要而泄于轮回。 对于与秘密义不合之恶器, 凡是宣说秘密者, 彼与非器、恶器二者, 于轮回之界中泄露相同。 纵然知晓宣说见与誓言修持之, 圣者三藏, 然亦不因串习之力而安住, 为恶行、狡诈、嫉妒、悭吝所恼, 于无用之法倾注心力, 行持且破誓如无底洞, 称瑜伽行持为低下之见, 如是说者将失败而堕入轮回。 对于堕入轮回之恶器, 若宣说秘密之义, 则以秘密衰损之力量, 衰损者亦将变得如彼。 窥伺过失、伺机报复如同豺狼鬼魅

Blessing. If one practices without receiving empowerment, their consciousness will wander and fall into the three lower realms. This is the great secret that embodies all intentions, If one speaks presumptuously without having heard it, Even if one searches through all the vast teachings, One will not be able to see the holy ones. Likewise, the listener will also become like that. Thus, the supreme quality is that, At the time of any outer empowerment, From this time forward, the sons of the Victorious Ones, The seeds of the lower realms will be exhausted, Long life and happiness will be fully endowed, They will not be born in unfavorable places, They will not be enslaved by the King of Bliss, They will not be separated from the teachings of the Great Vehicle, From that basis, they will attain supreme liberation, Combine the common and uncommon as explained in the scriptures. This extremely secret supreme empowerment, For those who are not suitable vessels, Among the three outer, inner, and secret aspects, Also practice the means of keeping it secret, All secret teachings should be kept secret. For the bad vessels that are not the basis of the teachings, The distinctions gathered by the four aspects, For the sake of future yogis who possess essence, It is explained so that they may know and abandon them. Worldly people, Hinayana practitioners, And heretics who delight in wrong views, Those who lack faith, are intelligent but distracted and dull, Those who are not diligent in listening to teachings are like animals. Those who violate vows, break vows, and deviate from the meaning, The rope of enlightenment is cut from the root, The sprout of the mind has its roots burned, They sink into the swamp of the lower realms. For those unsuitable vessels who are upside down, Speaking secrets is not appropriate, If spoken, they will also become upside down. Even if they speak the meaning of secrets, They do not know the hidden meaning of secrets. For those who go astray with faults, The meaning of secrets should be spoken even more. For the words of recitation, practice, and secrets, Even if they listen to the sound, they do not seek the meaning, If they cannot keep the secret of the essential meaning, It will leak into the essence-less samsara. For the bad vessels who do not agree with the secret meaning, Whoever speaks secrets to them, That one and the unsuitable, bad vessels, Are equal in leaking into the realm of samsara. Even if they know how to speak of the three treasures of the holy ones, Which are view, vows, and practice, They will not abide due to the power of habituation, They are tormented by evil deeds, deceit, jealousy, and stinginess, They devote their minds to useless teachings, They practice and break vows like a bottomless pit, They call the practice of yoga a low view, Those who say so will fail and fall into samsara. For the bad vessels who fall into samsara, If the meaning of secrets is spoken, Then by the power of the decline of secrets, The one who declines will become like that. Looking for faults, seeking revenge is like jackals and demons

那。 口蜜腹剑巧言饰, 心怀五毒诸烦恼, 喜好偷盗欺诈事, 为求一生之名声, 乐于人前逞口舌, 听后伪装欲言辞, 邪语毒害终堕落。 对于此种有毒堕落之器, 宣说秘密之法类, 乃是瑜伽大衰败, 彼将堕入轮回底。 如是对待此种败坏之恶器, 秘密中的大秘密等等, 无论何种意义与自性, 即使开示亦成败坏堕落因。 因此不应予以开示。 若然开示之, 讲说者与听闻者, 终将恐惧二者皆毁灭。 恭敬学子的特征是, 精进具足且品行良善, 严谨守密行为端正, 谦逊慷慨善巧美观。 身语意三门行善,守护三边, 如与圣者相应般行持, 以清净光明开启诸门, 于彼令精华成熟。 若将劣者视为上师, 于此未能领会真义, 仅以中庸之道持身, 则于彼处学习毫无意义。 彼因不具功德之缘故, 于所学之处反复生疑。 于所学懈怠不精进, 且不恭敬轻蔑者, 结缚之绳索由此生, 如何能令识流解脱? 若以五种圣物而贫乏, 此种贫乏者若欲度他人, 彼亦将沦为贫乏者。 因此上师之教诲亦珍贵。 经续字句隐秘极难收集, 我如天鹅取乳般艰难收集。 此后世世代代渐次学习终至圆满, 所有善根愿于无垠众生相续中成熟! 如是凭借善妙强大威猛之力, 教法如日般普照,汇集怖畏金刚之传承, 窍诀诀窍及解脱俱全,愿能普遍兴盛。 愿此具足永不衰败之行持,成为胜幢金刚藏! 曼达拉诺比嘎衮嘎宁波所著。 圆满。 人人皆有则不足为奇, 人人皆知则谁来做智者? 人人皆得则珍稀之物何在? 人人皆无则奇妙至极。 伊提。索帕克西塔姆。 圆满。

Na. With a mouth that flatters and a tongue that deceives, Holding five afflictions in the heart, Delighting in stealing, trickery, and lies, For the sake of fame in this one life, Delighting in harsh words in front of people, Pretending to listen and then wanting to speak, Speaking falsely, poisonous, ultimately falling. To such a vessel of poisonous downfall, Speaking of secret kinds of teachings, Is a great downfall of yoga, That one will fall to the end of samsara. Thus, to such a failed, bad vessel, Secrets of great secrets and so forth, Whatever their meaning and nature, Even if taught, it becomes a cause of failure and downfall. Therefore, it should not be taught. If it is taught, those who teach, speak, and listen, Will ultimately fear destruction of both. The qualities of a respectful student are: Diligent and of good conduct, Discreet and able to keep secrets, with good behavior, Modest, generous, skillful, and beautiful. Good conduct in the three doors, restraining the three extremes, Acting in accordance with the holy ones, Opening the doors with clarity and purity, Ripening the essence within them. If an inferior person is taken as a guru, Because the meaning is not understood, Holding to a neutral attitude, There is no point in learning from that one. Because that one lacks the qualities of a cause, Doubts consume the object of learning. Lazy and not striving towards the object, And disrespectful to that mediocre one, The bonds of knots arise from that. How can the stream of consciousness be liberated? If one is impoverished with the five holy objects, If that impoverished one tries to liberate others, That one will also become impoverished. Therefore, the guru's instructions are precious. Sutras, tantras, syllables, and scattered teachings are very hidden and difficult to collect, I have collected the difficulties like a swan extracting milk. May whatever merit there is from learning this step by step in future generations, Ripen in the boundless continuum of beings! Thus, by the power of great and fierce virtue, May the lineage of the teachings, like the sun, the all-gathering, terrifying king, The instructions, key points, and liberation all spread and flourish, May this practice become an indestructible victory banner, the essence of vajra! Composed by Mandala Nopi Ka Kunga Nyingpo. Completed. If everyone has it, it is not surprising, If everyone knows it, who will be the wise one? If everyone obtains it, what rare thing is there? If no one has it, it is extremely wonderful. Iti. So phag shi tham. Completed.
