Because it is said that afflictions of attachment and aversion do not arise from the ground. Because the origin cuts off the root of afflictions, the result, suffering, is naturally prevented, and that is the truth of the path. In general, in the context of the Hearer Vehicle, the teacher Adorned Vajra said that Hearers and Solitary Realizers are the antidotes to abandoning the basis, and that the five poisons of affliction and the three poisons should be abandoned like enemies and thorns. In particular, cultivating ugliness is most important as an antidote to desire. A skeleton is also by nature ugly. In the Vinaya, the Blessed One also said to the monks: Cultivate ugliness as an antidote to desire! It has been said like that. Because of the overemphasis on cultivating ugliness, many monks lost their lives because impure thoughts arose in their own bodies. In this way, there are many ways to cultivate ugliness, but if we summarize the meaning, in general, in the "Friendly Letter" it says: The body eventually becomes ashes, eventually dries up, eventually separates, and eventually is impure, without essence, completely destroyed, rotten, and becomes fragments. Please know that it has the nature of separation. In particular, the method of cultivating ugliness in order to reverse attachment to women is: It says there: Do not look at other people's wives, but even if you see them, generate the thought of a mother, daughter, or sister for those of similar age. If attachment arises, then truly contemplate impurity. It has been said like that. Therefore, the instruction is not to look at women, and if you must look, generate the thought of a mother for those who are older than you, the thought of a sister for those of the same age, and the thought of a daughter for those who are younger, thereby freeing yourself from attachment. If you still cannot free yourself in this way, then you must cultivate ugliness. It has been said like that. In this way, the method of cultivating ugliness is: It says there: The body of a young woman, from another point of view, is smelly, with nine openings constantly flowing with impurity, like a container filled with all kinds of impurities, difficult to fill, and although covered with skin and adorned with decorations, you should still look at it from another point of view. It has been said like that, and you must cultivate in this way. In this way, it is because of attachment to desire that one wanders in samsara. It says there: Desires are the cause of ruin, and the Victorious One explained it with the example of the kimpa fruit. You must abandon these desires, because the iron chains of these desires bind this world in the prison of samsara. It has been said like that, and you must definitely generate in your mind the method of abandoning desires. That also

由于习染了地等烦恼后,就难以用对治来扭转。所以,最初就要好好地依止正念和正知,并且要彻底摧毁(烦恼)。如རྒྱལ་སྲས་ཆོས་རྫོང་པ(菩萨法贤)所说:“烦恼串习对治难,正念士夫执对治,贪等烦恼初生时,摧毁即是菩萨行。”说得非常重要。迎请本尊法是观修三世诸佛和世尊释迦牟尼。心要法迎请是念诵牟尼。因此,想要观修本尊时,总的来说要观修三世诸佛,特别是观修我等导师释迦牟尼佛。在那样的状态中,念诵心咒:嗡 牟尼 牟尼 玛哈牟尼 释迦牟尼耶 梭哈。这样念诵。功德利益的差别是,此处坛城中所安住的三世诸佛和贤劫千佛等,是难以衡量和言说的诸佛功德聚,所以无需多说。眷属的声闻众,总的来说是无与伦比的功德聚。特别是十六胜士之首的圣者阿难陀,是恒常侍奉导师的近侍,是所有教法的结集者,是多闻第一。如果祈请他,就会成为多闻第一。圣者舍利子和མངྒལ་(目犍连)之子二位被称为双胜。如果祈请舍利子,就能获得与文殊无二的无与伦比的智慧。同样,如果祈请མངྒལ་(目犍连)之子,也能获得如金刚手般的神通威力。尊者རབ་འབྱོར(须菩提)是被赞叹为善于提问和回答的第一。因此,祈请他,就能获得无与伦比的、辩才无碍的智慧。尊者མ་འགགས་པ(阿那律)是被赞叹为具有天眼的第一,因此祈请他,就能获得法和智慧的天眼,以及肉眼和神通的五眼。圣者འཆར་ཀ་(额迦扎)是被赞叹为于学处恭敬的第一,祈请他,就能具有清净的戒律。尊者ཀུན་ཤེས་ཀཎྜི་ཎྱ་(阿若憍陈如)是被赞叹为调伏边地之第一,祈请他就能

Since it is difficult to reverse afflictions such as attachment once they have become habitual, it is necessary to rely well on mindfulness and awareness from the very beginning and to destroy them utterly. As Gyalsé Chödzongpa said: "When afflictions become habitual, it is difficult to reverse them with antidotes. The mindful person should take up the weapon of antidotes. As soon as afflictions such as attachment arise, destroying them is the practice of a bodhisattva." This is very important. Taking the deity as the path involves meditating on the Buddhas of the three times and the Bhagavan Shakyamuni. Taking the essence as the path involves reciting the Muni mantra. Therefore, when one wishes to meditate on a deity, one should generally meditate on the Buddhas of the three times, and especially on our teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha. In that state, one should recite the essence mantra: Om Muni Muni Maha Muni Shakya Munaye Svaha. The special benefits here are that the Buddhas of the three times and the thousand Buddhas of the Fortunate Aeon, etc., arranged in the mandala, are immeasurable and indescribable collections of the qualities of the Buddhas, so there is no need to mention them. The Shravakas of the retinue are generally incomparable collections of qualities. In particular, the venerable Ananda, the foremost of the sixteen excellent ones, is always present as the attendant of the teacher, the compiler of all the teachings, and the foremost in hearing much. If one prays to him, one will become the foremost in hearing much. The venerable Shariputra and Maudgalyayana are known as the two excellent ones. If one prays to Shariputra, one will obtain incomparable wisdom that is non-dual with Manjushri. Similarly, if one prays to Maudgalyayana, one will obtain great power and miraculous abilities like Vajrapani. The venerable Subhuti is praised as the foremost in asking and answering questions. Therefore, if one prays to him, one will obtain a complete and fearless eloquence of intelligence that cannot be overcome by opponents. The venerable Anuruddha is praised as the foremost in having the divine eye. Therefore, if one prays to him, one will obtain the divine eye of Dharma and wisdom, as well as the five eyes of flesh and clairvoyance. The venerable Ekaśṛṅga is praised as the foremost in respecting the training. If one prays to him, one will be endowed with pure morality. The venerable Ajñātakauṇḍinya is praised as the foremost in subduing the border regions. If one prays to him, one will

If we were to explain the detailed biographies of these individuals, we would fear the abundance of words and thus leave it at that. To briefly explain the sixteen noble elders in conjunction with the basic subject matter: The elder Yanglak Jung was born in Rajagriha. He went forth into the Dharma, took full ordination, and when he manifested the fruit of Arhatship, the gods offered whisks, and the gods, asuras, and yakshas offered incense burners. Wherever the fragrance was smelled, the fragrance of good protection of morality would arise, pleasing everyone, and diseases and suffering would be pacified. From the whisk, he created clouds of offerings and made offerings to the Buddhas and their retinues. Wherever the whisk was waved, the afflictions of all sentient beings, along with their seeds, would be pacified, and they would be liberated from all diseases and suffering. Therefore, praying to him will accomplish that result.
