According to the Ati oral tradition, there were Master Garab Dorje, Master Manjushri Mitra, the great Khenpo of Oddiyana, Padmasambhava who knows the three times, the twenty-five great Indian Pandit scholars, and others who composed many Indian treatises such as the great empowerment activity manuals.

我已获得佛陀的智慧。愿我与有缘者相遇!因此而说。第三是印度和西藏的班智达、成就者传承的清净无间断的实践。第四是在正文部分详细了解。这个特别的灌顶仪轨的五种计算方法的解释,已经在前面立誓时说明了。顺便说一下,驳斥争论:由于对“经部灌顶”这个名称的意义产生误解,认为经部本身没有权力,以此为理由,认为不能给经部安立灌顶的名称,以及将密咒命名为经部之名不合理,以及经部不会产生仪轨等等的错误观念,应该这样说:如果将“灌顶”这个词理解为广义的灌顶,那么国王或王族从头顶灌顶,或者依靠灌顶王位的行为来统治臣民的能力,以及经部中说的大光明灌顶,以及《楞伽经》中说:菩萨大慧等,被所有佛陀的手灌顶而称为灌顶,以及菩萨圣者白幢在从兜率天降生时,慈氏菩萨在头上系上顶髻,灌顶为王位继承人等等,也都是灌顶,从意义上来说是成立的,因此没有过失。将密咒命名为经部之名,也没有任何过错。如《集密经》中说:我已如经部般宣说了密咒。以及《金刚顶经》中说:所有如来秘密经部的自在者,所说的解释。以及《摧破金刚》中说:听闻此经部。以及说:是所有续部的根本。这些也必须证明是没有矛盾的。此外,如果说仪轨是咒语的本语,那么,语言学家们也都知道,从词根产生名称,从名称产生词语的仪轨。律藏中也说了前仪轨和现仪轨的术语等等,因此,如果对知识的领域有广泛的了解,就能从错误的观念中解脱。那么,在无上密咒的一个坛城中,应该灌顶

I have obtained the wisdom of the Buddha. May I meet with those who are worthy! Therefore it is said. The third is the pure and unbroken practice of the Indian and Tibetan Pandit and Vidyadhara lineages. The fourth can be understood in detail in the actual text. The explanation of the five calculation methods of this particular empowerment ritual has already been explained in the context of the vow made earlier. Incidentally, refuting the arguments: Due to a misunderstanding of the meaning of the name "Sutra Empowerment", it is argued that the Sutra itself has no power, and therefore it is not permissible to give the name of empowerment to the Sutra, and that it is unreasonable to name the Tantra with the name of Sutra, and that rituals do not arise from the Sutra, etc. To these wrong ideas, it should be said: If the word "empowerment" is understood as a broad sense of empowerment, then the king or royal family is empowered from the head, or the ability to rule the subjects by relying on the act of empowering the throne, and the great light empowerment mentioned in the Sutra, and the Lankavatara Sutra says: Bodhisattva Mahamati and others are empowered by the hands of all Buddhas and called empowerment, and when the Bodhisattva Holy White Banner descends from Tushita, Maitreya Bodhisattva ties a crown on his head and empowers him as the successor to the throne, etc., are also empowerments, which are established in meaning, so there is no fault. There is also no fault in naming the Tantra with the name of Sutra. As it is said in the Samputa Tantra: I have explained the Tantra like the Sutra. And in the Vajrasekhara Sutra it is said: The explanation of the lord of the secret Sutra of all Tathagatas. And in the Ushnishavijaya it says: Having listened to this Sutra. And it is said: It is the root of all the Tantras. These must also be proved to be without contradiction. Furthermore, if it is said that the ritual is the original language of the mantra, then the linguists also know that the ritual of deriving names from roots and words from names is well known. The Vinaya also mentions the terms of previous rituals and present rituals, etc. Therefore, if there is a broad understanding of the field of knowledge, one can be liberated from wrong ideas. So, in one mandala of the highest secret mantra, one should empower

如果问为什么要按次第地展示,那是有必要的。在《行集》中说:最初有业力的众生,为了进入神圣的意义,这方法是圆满的佛陀,如阶梯的次第般宣说。又在《二观察》中说:首先行布萨和布施,然后展示分别说部,经部也是如此。之后是瑜伽行派,在那之后展示中观。完全了解密咒的次第后,之后创作《集经金刚》。因为这样说的缘故。无垢的汉藏传承的班智达成就者之链,如珍贵珍珠鬘般展开,这奇妙故事的新项链,是古译教法和持有者的美丽庄严。清净的显密珍宝的来源,甚深意义的无边广大虚空中,善说波浪处处美妙,成熟灌顶的河流在此奇妙。即使有无数的邪见星辰闪耀,但由于教理和正理的日光显现,所有恶劣辩论的光芒都被摧毁,贤善聪慧的莲花完全盛开。这也是中间的偈颂。

If asked why it is shown in a gradual manner, it is necessary. In the Compendium of Conduct it says: 'For sentient beings with initial karma, to enter the sacred meaning, this method is the complete Buddha, spoken of as a ladder of steps.' Also, in the Two Examinations it says: 'First, practice Uposatha and give alms, then show the Vaibhashika, the Sutra school is also the same. After that is the Yogachara, after that show the Madhyamaka. Having fully understood the order of mantras, then compose the Hevajra.' Because it is said so. The chain of Indian and Tibetan masters of the stainless lineage, spread like a precious pearl garland, this wonderful necklace of stories, is the beautiful ornament of the early translation teachings and its holders. The source of pure Sutra and Tantra jewels, in the vast expanse of unfathomable profound meaning, the waves of good speech are beautiful everywhere, the river of ripening empowerment is wonderful here. Even though countless stars of wrong views shine, but because the sunlight of scripture and reason appears, all the rays of evil arguments are destroyed, and the virtuous and intelligent lotus blossoms fully. This is also an intermediate verse.

Steadfast, gentle, and without deceit, knowing the union of the secret mantra tantras, skilled in the work of drawing mandalas, fully knowing those ten suchnesses, giving fearlessness to sentient beings, always rejoicing in the Great Vehicle, that is said to be the teacher. As it says in the Lamrim: The teacher is a treasury-filled, complete river, possessing relatives, skilled in tantra and action, holding the warmth of the oral instructions, holding the eight qualities. It is said that the lama possesses those qualities. Some say that the vajra stake and consort are also included in the teacher. Second, the perfection of the place. In the Vajrakarma sequence it says: Eight corners and many peaks, not drying up like a river, level and clear like milk water, the place where the sun shines very much, one should know the nature of space. High and low are northwest, east and south sloping and gentle, high rocks, caves, springs, etc., one should examine the mandala, power, and enemy boundaries. Lush mountains with forests, very level and smooth, the river is the direction of power, with a little wind, observe flowers, trees, and bird sounds. It is also said that knowing history is supreme. As it says in the Lamrim: Not disturbed by a large army, the land and space are auspicious, possessing two kinds of history, find a pleasing land and expand it. Houses with inner, outer, and intermediate spaces, protected with precious plaster, a palace adorned with jewels. These are the characteristics of the place and house. Third, the perfection of the retinue. Vajra stake, consort, and disciple. In the tantra it says: Happy in practice and meditation, always respecting the lama, offering to the lama at all three times, is a disciple with qualities. As it says in the Guhyagarbha: Those who are very skilled in listening, thinking, and meditating, held by those with the eye of wisdom, are suitable vessels, of good conduct and stable, generous in giving body and possessions. These are the ones who possess these characteristics. Fourth, the perfection of the equipment. In the tantra it says: Having gathered all the difficult equipment, especially those with a perfect gathering, place them as substances for accomplishing siddhis.
