How it was translated in Tibet: From the pure realm of the basis of all, the self-knowing king of awareness, the maker, Samantabhadra, spoke. The root tantra, as vast as the sky, with nine million sections, twenty thousand volumes, sixteen thousand verses, etc., was taught to Shakyamuni. Shakyamuni taught it in the three places of Soma Puri, Queen Puri, and Lanka Puri, to the retinue of Samantabhadra, who is none other than himself, the emanation of Samantabhadra, Vajrasattva, and the emanation of Vajrasattva, the three sons of pure mind gods. That son of pure mind gods taught it to Garab Dorje. Garab Dorje taught it to Manjushrimitra. He taught it to Shri Singha. Shri Singha had all the teachings of scripture and secret instructions complete. At the time when the master Shri Singha was residing, due to the kindness of the Tibetan king Trisong Detsen, who had developed faith, the abbot of Oddiyana, Padmasambhava, and Bodhisattva, etc., were invited, and one hundred and eight temples, including Samye in U and the subjugation of the four borders, etc., were built. Many scholars were invited, and monastic colleges were established, thus causing the holy Dharma, secret mantra, characteristics, and the Dharma of cause and effect to flourish. However, these teachings did not satisfy the king's mind. The lord born in Tibet, Bodhisattva Trisong Detsen, commanded the Tibetan monks who practiced Dharma and the seven Chinese people: That king was also first reborn from India. In the land of India, there seems to be the Dharma of secret instructions. The king also heard that there is the Dharma of secret instructions in India. The king said: The land of India has been trodden by the feet of the Buddha, and the Buddha is omniscient. Therefore, among all vehicles, there is a superior Dharma, which transcends both cause and effect, and by realizing the meaning in an instant, one attains enlightenment in one lifetime. It is impossible that such a Dharma does not exist. Therefore, it is necessary to send someone to obtain it. If someone can obtain it, then who will be the one to translate it in central Tibet, the extent of whose merit will be incomparable to anyone. Therefore, it is necessary to send someone. Then, Li Tagpo Che or Li Trami, etc., who were very intelligent and skillful, said: If we do not send someone to request the Dharma, who will come? There are nine dangerous passes and nine fierce beasts, etc., which are very difficult.

说，人也有死亡，财产也有损失的危险。我们占卜，考察，做了占卜之后，一致认为必须派一个不会后悔的人去才能得到。于是，对中国来的考察者，有学者贝秀格占卜师，印度的占卜师有学者占卜森，以及黎域的占卜者有学者贝尼古，这三个人进行了考察，做了占卜，占卜的结果是，在印度的国土上，对于法性的意义，能在一瞬间领悟，并能在一世成就的法，除了这个人以外，谁也无法做到。在藏地的聂摩杰喀这个地方，父亲叫郭尔赫多，母亲叫扎喀萨仲吉的儿子，名叫巴郭尔甘扎塘达的八岁小孩，如果派他去，就能在一瞬间领悟法性的意义，并能在一世成就，三个人一致同意。之后，国王和二十五位大臣一起，来到了藏地的聂摩杰喀这个地方。当时，因为国王身材高大，行礼和敬语很困难，其他人无法见到，所以门外的人流中断，持续了半天的时间。之后，一个小孩先出来了，国王就和那个小孩开玩笑说，小孩，你父亲去哪里了？小孩说，我的父亲去找话了。你母亲去哪里了？我的母亲去找眼睛了。你又去哪里了？我自己去办事情了。国王听了很高兴，说我们想要的孩子就是他了，说了些亲切的话。之后，那个孩子说，父亲去找话了，是因为父亲去找酒了，酒是产生话的原因。母亲去找眼睛了，是因为母亲拿着火来了，火能驱散黑暗，带来温暖。我为了办事才去的，是因为生了小羊羔。同样，印度的佛法传到藏地，驱散了藏地无知的黑暗，领悟了深奥的佛法，对利益众生有所帮助的征兆或亲近的缘起。在那里，巴郭尔赫多邀请国王和大臣们进入屋内，点燃了巨大的火堆，并供奉了酥油和

said, there is a danger of people dying and wealth being lost. Let's do divination, investigate, and after doing divination, it was agreed that a person who will not regret later must be sent to obtain it. So, for the investigators from China, there was the scholar Beshog Pura, for the Indian diviner, there was the scholar Purasen, and for the diviner from the land of Li, there was the scholar Peni Gu, and these three people investigated. They did divination. The divination revealed that in the land of India, regarding the meaning of Dharma, someone can realize it in an instant and attain enlightenment in one lifetime. No one else can do this except for this person. In a place called Nyemo Jekhar in Tsang, there is a boy named Pagor Gandzag Tangta, the eight-year-old son of father Gorhe Dod and mother Drakha Za Drongyi. If he is sent, he will realize the meaning of Dharma in an instant and attain enlightenment in one lifetime. The three agreed. Then, the king and twenty-five ministers went to that place called Nyemo Jekhar in Tsang. At that time, because the king was tall and it was difficult to bow and show respect, others could not meet him, so the flow of people outside the door was cut off, lasting for half a day. Then, a child came out first, and the king joked with the child, saying, "Child, where did your father go?" The child said, "My father went to find words." "Where did your mother go?" "My mother went to find eyes." "Where did you go?" "I went to do something myself." The king was very happy and said, "The child we want is this one," and said some kind words. Then, the child said, "Father went to find words," because father went to find alcohol, and alcohol is the cause of words. "Mother went to find eyes," because mother came with fire, and fire can dispel darkness and bring warmth. "I went to do something myself," because a lamb was born. Similarly, the Dharma teachings of India came to Tibet, dispelling the darkness of ignorance in Tibet, and realizing the profound Dharma, it is a sign or auspicious connection that will help benefit beings. There, Pagorhe Dod invited the king and ministers into the house, lit a huge fire, and offered butter and

献上祭品后，询问统治者前来有何要事。统治者说：‘我没有其他事情，只是听说在印度的土地上，有一种教法，能够从所有因果之法中提取精华，通过刹那间的领悟证悟法性，一生即可成佛。我认为这个教法非常重要，所以想派人去求取。除了你的儿子，没有人能够胜任。我们已经达成了协议，所以我前来索要。’他说：‘我的儿子还不到八岁，去印度会遇到九种危险和九种野兽等等，有很多艰难险阻。去印度求法现在还不行，而且我们老两口只有这一个儿子，请您不要这样说。’国王说：‘虽然他年纪小，但现在不会让他去，只是说有朝一日会让他去。因为其他人都不行，所以你没有办法不把这个儿子给我。’因为不给就会受到国王的惩罚，所以答应了。之后，统治者国王说：‘我会照顾他的父母。’于是将他们一家三口请到王宫，让父母住在达吉若巴的住所附近。将毗卢遮那安置在扎玛桑耶，八年间供养白三样和甜三样。让他修习增长智慧和提升记忆力的陀罗尼。之后，当他年满二十六岁，准备去印度时，因为印度的盗贼如果发现藏人的身上藏有黄金，就会杀人越货。为了避免被发现黄金，将毗卢遮那的头发剃光，用黄金打造成七个头盖骨形状的护身符，在上面钻许多小孔，盖在他的头上，然后将头发浓密地覆盖在外面。让他和洛扎的藏泰莲巴，以及那烂陀寺的弟子藏青波列珠，一个二十五岁、地位高且智慧渊博的人，一同去求法。他们两人在桑耶的圣观音洲，发誓说：‘我们兄弟二人能否从印度求得教法？能否利益其他众生？请圣者指示。’

After offering the sacrificial offerings, he asked the ruler what was the purpose of his visit. The ruler said, 'I have no other business, but I have heard that in the land of India, there is a Dharma that can extract the essence from all the laws of cause and effect, and realize the nature of Dharma in an instant, and attain Buddhahood in one lifetime. I think this Dharma is very important, so I want to send someone to ask for it. No one else can do it except your son. We have reached an agreement, so I have come to ask for it.' He said, 'My son is not yet eight years old, and going to India will encounter nine dangers and nine beasts, etc., and there are many difficulties and obstacles. Going to India to seek Dharma is not possible now, and we old couple only have this one son, please do not say that.' The king said, 'Although he is young, he will not be sent now, but it is said that one day he will be sent. Because no one else can do it, you have no way to not give me this son.' Because if he didn't give it, he would be punished by the king, so he agreed. After that, the ruler king said, 'I will take care of his parents.' So he invited the three members of the family to the palace, and let the parents live near the residence of Dagi Ropa. Vairochana was placed in Drakmar Samye, and for eight years he was offered the three white foods and the three sweets. He was made to practice the dharani that increases wisdom and enhances memory. After that, when he was twenty-six years old, when he was about to go to India, because the Indian thieves would kill and rob if they found gold hidden on the body of a Tibetan, in order to avoid being discovered gold, Vairochana's hair was shaved, and seven skull-shaped amulets were made of gold, and many small holes were drilled in them, and covered on his head, and then the hair was thickly covered on the outside. He was sent to seek Dharma together with Tsang Telenpa of Lhodrak, and Tsang Qingpo Lekdrub, a disciple of Nalanda Temple, who was twenty-five years old, of high status and great wisdom. The two of them, in the Arya Pala Island of Samye, vowed, 'Can we two brothers obtain the Dharma from India? Can we benefit other sentient beings? Please, Holy One, indicate.'

睡着之后，毗卢遮那（藏文：བཻ་རོ་ཙ་ན）黎明时做了个梦，问青莲花（藏文：སྔོན་པོ་ལེགས་གྲུབ་）。 喂，朋友们！起来，起来，都起来！ 昨晚半夜，在睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见一个二十五岁的年轻人，开膛破肚，心脏被挤压，所有的脓血都滴落下来。 你们知道吗？请告诉我。 于是，青莲花回答说： 喂，朋友们！半夜睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见一个二十五岁的年轻人，开膛破肚，心脏被挤压，所有的脓血都滴落下来，这预示着印度的二十五位智者，他们的心意传到西藏后，所有的业障都彻底清净了。 这不是坏梦，这是个好梦。 之后，毗卢遮那（藏文：བཻ་རོ་ཙ་ན）又做了个午间的梦。 喂，朋友们！在午间睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见三个年轻的少女，在我的头顶上放了一个“阿”字（藏文：ཨ་，梵文天城体：अ，梵文罗马拟音：a，汉语字面意思：阿）。 你们知道吗？请告诉我。 于是，青莲花回答说： 喂，朋友们！在半夜睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见三个年轻的少女，在我的头顶上放了一个“阿”字（藏文：ཨ་，梵文天城体：अ，梵文罗马拟音：a，汉语字面意思：阿），这是受到护法空行母三部的加持，瞬间觉悟，一生证得佛果的征兆，你已经领悟了不生之义。 这不是坏梦，这是个好梦。 毗卢遮那（藏文：བཻ་རོ་ཙ་ན）又问了黎明时做的梦。 喂，朋友们！在黎明时睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见一对日月升上天空，一个消失在天空的尽头，一个在哈斯波山上发出光芒，又消失在拉萨的峡谷中。 你们知道吗？请告诉我。 于是，莲花成就回答说： 喂，朋友们！在黎明时睡了一个时辰的梦里，梦见一对日月升上天空，这是接受印度智者殊胜佛法的征兆。 一个消失在天空的尽头，这是青莲花（藏文：སྔོན་པོ་ལེགས་གྲུབ་）在路上圆寂的征兆。 一个在哈斯波山上发出光芒，又消失在拉萨的峡谷中，这是毗卢遮那（藏文：བཻ་རོ་ཙ་ན）去往西藏后，向国王讲授佛法，又消失在拉萨的峡

After falling asleep, Vairochana had a dream at dawn and asked Pönpo Lekdrub. "Hey, dear friends! Arise, arise, arise! Last night, in a dream after sleeping for one hour at midnight, I dreamt of a twenty-five-year-old young man being disemboweled, his heart squeezed, and all the pus and blood dripping down. Do you know what it means? Please tell me." Then, Pönpo Lekdrub replied: "Hey, dear friends! In a dream after sleeping for one hour at midnight, seeing a twenty-five-year-old young man being disemboweled, his heart squeezed, and all the pus and blood dripping down, that is a sign that the intention of twenty-five Indian scholars, after reaching Tibet, will completely purify all karmic obscurations. It is not a bad dream; it is a good dream." Then, Vairochana again had a dream at noon. "Hey, dear friends! In a dream after sleeping for one hour at noon, I dreamt that three young girls placed the letter 'A' (藏文：ཨ་，梵文天城体：अ，梵文罗马拟音：a，汉语字面意思：阿) on my head. Do you know what it means? Please tell me." Then, Pönpo Lekdrub replied: "Hey, dear friends! In a dream after sleeping for one hour at midnight, seeing three young girls placing the letter 'A' (藏文：ཨ་，梵文天城体：अ，梵文罗马拟音：a，汉语字面意思：阿) on your head, that is a sign that you have been blessed by the three classes of Dharma-protecting Dakinis, and that you will realize enlightenment in an instant and attain Buddhahood in one lifetime. You have realized the meaning of non-arising. It is not a bad dream; it is a good dream." Vairochana again asked about the dream he had at dawn. "Hey, dear friends! In a dream after sleeping for one hour at dawn, I dreamt that a pair of sun and moon rose in the sky, one disappearing into the expanse of the sky, and the other shining light on Haspo Mountain and then disappearing into the valley of Lhatsa. Do you know what it means? Please tell me." Then, Lekdrub replied: "Hey, dear friends! In a dream after sleeping for one hour at dawn, seeing a pair of sun and moon rising in the sky, that is a sign of receiving the sacred Dharma of the Indian scholars. One disappearing into the expanse of the sky is a sign that Pönpo Lekdrub will pass away on the road. The other shining light on Haspo Mountain and then disappearing into the valley of Lhatsa is a sign that Vairochana, after going to Tibet, will teach the Dharma to the sovereign king himself and then disappear into the valley of Lhat
