25.Title of the Treatise..g2.0f

English

From... to the heart, and then to the approximate position of the left and right sides of the throat, holding with the back of the hand facing outwards. For the Iron Hook Mother: fists joined together from the heart to the navel, and then extended to the position of the knees with the back of the hand facing down. For the Bell Mother: the right fist is made in the manner of shaking a bell. These are the ways of expanding the Great Seal. Those without clear explanations for the left hand rely on the seat, and those that mention fists before and after without other clear explanations are the Vajra Fist, that is, the thumb is tucked inside and the remaining four fingers are clenched. The hand seals for the occasion of entrusting tasks are: some consider them to be Samaya seals, some consider them to be Karma seals, and some consider them to be Great Seals, etc. Although many different opinions have arisen, whichever ritual is expanded with the four rounds of hand seals, it is appropriate to perform it as the Great Seal, because others have no basis, while this has a clear basis. For the method of expanding with only the Samaya seal, then in entrusting tasks, there is no alternative but to use only the Samaya seal. Therefore, for the external deities, use the hand seal of Vajrasattva, and if you like elaboration, use the four deities that correspond to the order of the directions. In common for the Hearers and Solitary Realizers, the right hand is a fist at the position of the shoulder, and the left hand is a fist at the position of the heart with the palm facing upwards. For the Wrathful Ones, use the hand seal of the Three Realms Victorious One. For the worldly deities, first perform the dance and lotus circling, and then join the palms at the crown of the head. If you are to make the Samaya seal, the left hand makes the Tathagata fist, and the right hand makes the gesture of opening with the thumb and index finger, and then joining the palms with the palms hollow, this is for the deities. Opening the hand seal of the Treasury of Space, the thumb and little finger are joined and the remaining fingers are extended, this is for the Hearers. From the joined palms, starting with the little finger, the other fingers are curled inwards and the fingers are straightened, this is the hand seal of the Solitary Realizers. Vajra inner binding, the tips of the two middle fingers touch, and the remaining four fingers are extended separately, this is the hand seal of the Wrathful Ones and so on. In the palm, the thumb and little finger are joined, and the remaining fingers are extended like a lotus budding, this is the common Samaya seal of the worldly deities. Therefore, for the Samaya seals of the Hearers and Solitary Realizers, there is no completely pure basis anywhere else, so it should be done as explained in the Root Tantra of Manjushri.

这是。那些是如果将此法作为瑜伽来修持,则必定需要的印契。有些无知的人用谎言欺骗许多人,他们这样说:左腰部上下握拳是真实的业印。口中念诵咒语“达地雅塔”(ཏདྱ་ཐཱ,Tadyathā),然后解开印契,在左右心口做三次莲花旋转,那是其分支,即业印,之后做等持印是三昧耶印。口中念诵短的普明咒是法印。观想面前主尊的身像是大手印。解开印契,双手合掌于心口,念诵委任事业的词语,最后在左腰部用双手摇动手铃,那是委任事业。这样说,这种错误的说法从极其自负的智者开始,直到边地的愚笨之人,都被迷惑了。因为这其中三昧耶印没有自己的咒语,法印没有咒语文字的形象,业、三昧耶、法,四印的顺序颠倒,大手印没有身相,你所希望的业印变成先做前行后做正行,既然那时在顶礼的时候认为是真实的印契,那么咒语的正行时又做什么呢?就像在迎请宾客时先献上食物和宴席,然后才为真正的宾客洗漱一样。并且在那个时候两次说解开印契,是因为他们是承认“解开印契后,佛陀逝去”的教证的人。因为印契一结好就变成祈请逝去,而且握拳和三次莲花旋转无论如何都不是业印。因为张开拳头不适用解开印契的说法,而且“扎热”(རྩ་རིག་)也不是业印的咒语,仅仅念诵短咒并不具备法印的特征,仅仅观想和意念面前的佛像不是大手印,如果是的话,三昧耶印也变成大手印了。如果这是四印的圆满,那么瑜伽续部的四印圆满是…

That's it. Those are the mudras that are definitely needed if this Dharma is practiced as Yoga. Some ignorant people deceive many people with lies, saying this: Holding fists up and down on the left waist is the real Karma Mudra. Reciting the mantra "Tadyatha" (ཏདྱ་ཐཱ, Tadyathā) in the mouth, then dissolving the mudra and making three lotus rotations in the left and right heart, that is its branch, that is, the Karma Mudra, and then making the Samadhi Mudra is the Samaya Mudra. Reciting the short Kunrig mantra from the mouth is the Dharma Mudra. Visualizing the body of the main deity in front is the Mahamudra. Dissolving the mudra, putting the palms together at the heart, reciting the words of entrusting the work, and finally shaking the hand bell with both hands on the left waist, that is entrusting the work. Saying this, this wrong statement, from the extremely arrogant scholars to the stupid people in the border areas, has been confused. Because the Samaya Mudra does not have its own mantra, the Dharma Mudra does not have the image of mantra letters, the order of the four mudras of Karma, Samaya, and Dharma is reversed, the Mahamudra does not have a body image, and the Karma Mudra that you want becomes performing the preliminary practice before performing the main practice. Since it is considered a real mudra at the time of prostration, then what do you do during the main practice of the mantra? It is like offering food and banquets first when welcoming guests, and then washing for the real guests. And saying "dissolve the mudra" twice at that time is because they are people who admit the teaching that "after dissolving the mudra, the Buddha passed away." Because as soon as the mudra is formed, it becomes a prayer for passing away, and the clenched fists and the three lotus rotations are not Karma Mudras in any way. Because the term "dissolving the mudra" does not apply to opening the fist, and "Zare" (རྩ་རིག་) is not the mantra of the Karma Mudra, and merely reciting the short mantra does not have the characteristics of the Dharma Mudra, and merely visualizing and thinking of the Buddha image in front is not the Mahamudra, and if it is, the Samaya Mudra also becomes the Mahamudra. If this is the perfection of the four mudras, then the perfection of the four mudras of the Yoga Tantra is...

总之,生起自生本尊和前方宝瓶等,在暂时的情况下会多次出现,但意义上的主要是在生起自生本尊的时候需要。而您在那里不这样做,主要的原因是为了摧毁(誓言)。如果追随至尊大士,那么像玛觉等上师们,都会对昆利(一切明智)加上禁制后委派任务。有一种观点认为不需要四手印的广布。而自己的主张是,四手印的广布在这个续部中以词语的暗示出现,如果将四者分开来做就很好,这样分开成为两种观点。前者只是加上禁制后委派任务而已。我看来四手印是齐全的,但前者们不知道四手印齐全,并且认为不需要。像这样从未说过。而您加上禁制后委派任务,却认为四手印的广布是齐全的。总之,与至尊大士相违背等等,总之,这个巨大的错误的集合包含在非常小的智慧中,真是太稀奇了。也应该这样说。到此为止,主要的手印都讲完了。二十五供养时的手印是:两个拳头放在头顶上是宝冠;拇指和食指相合的圆形接触耳朵是耳环;以三宝印从颈部中央向左右画半圆是项链;左右交替地从肩膀到腰部之间,以及另一侧肩膀之间画的是塞莫多;左右手之间涂抹左右臂环是臂钏;同样地,左右膝盖和左右脚上是手镯和脚镯。这些都只是用三宝印接触而已。右手的中指从左手的食指缠绕是戒指;左手放在如来拳上,右手掌放在上面是伞;双层拳头放在任何一侧的肩膀上是胜幢;拳头的食指和中指在空中上下旋转是幡;左手的拳头放在心间,右手的中指和食指以高低的方式交替放置是拉利;单手的手柄

In short, generating oneself as the deity and the vase in front, etc., may occur many times in temporary situations, but the main point in terms of meaning is needed when generating oneself as the deity. However, the main reason why you don't do it there is to destroy (the vows). If you follow the Great Venerable One, then masters like Machig, etc., would impose restrictions on Kunrig (All-Knowing Wisdom) and then assign tasks. One view is that there is no need for the extensive application of the four mudras. And one's own assertion is that the extensive application of the four mudras appears in this tantra with verbal hints, and it would be good to do the four separately, thus separating into two views. The former only imposes restrictions and then assigns tasks. In my view, the four mudras are complete, but the former ones did not know that the four mudras were complete and thought they were not needed. They never said anything like that. But you impose restrictions and then assign tasks, yet you think that the extensive application of the four mudras is complete. In short, contradicting the Great Venerable One, etc., in short, this huge collection of errors is contained in very small wisdom, which is truly amazing. That's how it should be said. Up to this point, the main mudras have been explained. The mudras for the twenty-five offerings are: placing two fists on the head is the crown; the circle formed by joining the thumb and index finger touching the ear is the earring; drawing a semicircle from the center of the neck to the left and right with the three-jewel mudra is the necklace; alternately drawing from the shoulder to the waist and between the other shoulder is Semodo; applying arm rings to the left and right arms between the left and right hands is the armlet; similarly, bracelets and anklets on the left and right knees and left and right feet. All of these are only touched with the three-jewel mudra. The right middle finger wrapped around the left index finger is the ring; placing the left hand on the Tathagata fist and placing the right palm on top is the umbrella; placing the double-layered fist on either shoulder is the victory banner; rotating the index and middle fingers of the fist up and down in the air is the banner; placing the left fist on the heart and alternately placing the right middle and index fingers high and low is Lali; the handle of one hand

手印的持法,另一种是双手作拂尘状,是拂尘印。左手平放,右手从眉间向下指是幡幢印。两个金刚拳并排是狮子座。两个拳头左右拉开是卧具。左拳放于心口,右手中指相抵成圆形是圆形楼阁,做成方形是方形楼阁,用那个手印表示楼层。两个金刚拳拳心向上是月亮坐垫,花和琵琶与前面相同。像敲打钹一样表示那个。左拳放于心口,右手作打开香粉状是妙香。金刚拳向上打开是供养天神的食物。两个拳头从后面盖上衣服,在前面加上是衣服。那些也只是手印的种类而已。在长赞的时候,一般只要摇铃即可。娘堆颇沃绕的仪轨现在大部分都这样做:首先摇铃,铃在心口对应的左侧稍低处拿着,这样做:第一句作金刚爪势,第二句连同金刚铃作莲花旋转,第三句各自遵循各自的仪轨,第四句莲花旋转之前合掌。就四句偈颂来说,法界等,举起金刚杵在铃上从某个位置向左右旋转。对于“种种”等作莲花旋转。对于“三摩地”等作平放。对于“顶礼”等在心口快速作莲花旋转。在“一切智”的时候合掌。在“拉欧”的时候稍微摇铃。那些的间隙中作洒水和圆形旋转。那些虽然是欺骗众生的手印,但还是在做啊。这样就大致讲完了手印。第三,在后面的阶段,与仪轨中说的一样,坛城的后续仪轨,送神和将坛城沙子倒入水中等与通常一样。有些人说,将明妃金刚母的手印放在头顶,念诵三遍(藏文:བཛྲ་སཏྭ་ཧཱུཾ,梵文天城体:वज्रसत्त्व हूँ,梵文罗马拟音:vajrasattva hūṃ,汉语字面意思:金刚萨埵 吽)来解开手印,这是经续的依据。
