Do not crave warmth. Even if the feeling of cold arises, do not be afraid or suffer. Do not desire or be attached to warmth. When you appear as a female form, do not be attached to men, and do not hate women. Similarly, when you appear as a male form, do not be attached to women, and do not hate other men. If you generate thoughts of attachment and hatred, you will enter into womb-birth. The appearance of male and female in the bardo state is merely a manifestation of your own mind; in reality, there is no substance, so do not mistakenly generate attachment and hatred. Even if you see places and environments that seem pleasant, think of them as illusions and do not rejoice. Even if you smell a fragrance and think it is sweet, know that it is an appearance without substance, so do not be attached. Even if you see terrifying beings such as executioners and wild animals, know that they are illusions appearing without substance, and do not be afraid. For all of these, hold mindfulness with clear awareness. Furthermore, if you generate thoughts of attachment, hatred, and sin, you will nourish your past negative karma, and without doubt, you will fall into the three lower realms. If you generate virtuous thoughts such as faith and compassion, you will nourish your past virtuous deeds, and as a result, you will be liberated immediately, and ultimately, without doubt, you will ascend to higher realms. Therefore, do not be attached to anything, such as possessions, utensils, relatives, etc., and do not generate a miserly mind. Even if you are attached to these things, you have already separated from them, and there is no longer any opportunity to be together. If you are attached, you will wander in samsara, so make a firm decision. Furthermore, after you have passed away, those who remain will make offerings to the Three Jewels, give charity to beings, build supports for body, speech, and mind, serve the Sangha, and also prostrate, make offerings, pray, confess sins, perform rituals, etc. Therefore, these great roots of virtue will bring you great benefit, so do not grieve. Fourth, how to practice the instructions: First, you must recognize that this is the actual bardo, so you must avoid being confused in this state. In particular, since there is no other refuge or hope, you must regard the venerable root guru so-and-so as the embodiment of all Buddhas.

以虔诚的敬信心祈祷吧!所见一切皆是上师之身,所闻一切皆是上师之语,所有忆念觉知念头皆是上师之意的加持,以这样的心态不要离开敬信心。又同样地,现在这个阶段是中阴,要想着必须转化为清净的显现。你自己的身体要观想成如圣观世音菩萨一般的本尊身,清晰明亮,没有浑浊,如同彩虹一般。所见一切皆是本尊之身,所闻一切皆是密咒之声,所有忆念觉知念头都要了知如幻如梦。此外,三界轮回一切皆是痛苦,要想着无论如何都不需要轮回的享受。轮回是从业而来,业是从烦恼而来,烦恼不尽,轮回不尽,断除烦恼,轮回自然解脱。以前也是被这个烦恼所迷惑而流转轮回,现在如果再被它所控制,那么痛苦就没有尽头了,要生起厌离心和出离心。对一切众生要有慈悲心和强烈的爱心,深信从恶业产生痛苦,从善业产生快乐。还有,对上师、本尊、佛、法、僧,也就是三宝,要全心全意地信赖。还有,所谓的“关闭胎门”是必要的,对六道众生的一切男女,不要以平凡的现象去看待,而是观想为本尊父母,这是生起次第的关闭胎门。无论见到什么男女和性行为的现象,都要了知那一切显现如幻如梦,然后在法界中安住于无戏论的境界,这是以光明的方式关闭胎门。了知在胎中受生的过患,见到梵行的利益,不让心被欲望所控制,这就是以梵行的方式关闭胎门。此外,已故的这个人对密咒有一定的经验。在生起次第的时候接受灌顶,在光明的时候认识任运成就的空色,在戒律的时候依靠无漏的戒律等等来认识。第五,认识实相而解脱。

Pray with fervent devotion! Whatever appears as form is the body of the Lama, whatever sounds is the speech of the Lama, all memories, awareness, and thoughts are the blessings of the Lama's mind, maintain unwavering devotion with this in mind. Also, similarly, since this present state is Bardo, think that you must transform it into a pure appearance. Visualize your own body as the deity's form, like the noble Avalokiteśvara, clear and bright, without turbidity, like a rainbow. Whatever appears as form is the deity's body, whatever sounds is the sound of mantra, all memories, awareness, and thoughts should be known as illusion and dream. Furthermore, all of the three realms of Samsara are solely suffering, think that there is absolutely no need for the enjoyments of Samsara. Samsara arises from Karma, Karma arises from afflictions, if afflictions are not exhausted, Samsara will not be exhausted, if afflictions are abandoned, Samsara is self-liberated from Karma. Previously, you wandered in Samsara because of these afflictions, if you are still controlled by them now, then there will be no end to suffering, generate renunciation and the determination to be free. Have loving-kindness and intense compassion for all sentient beings, and have unwavering faith that suffering arises from negative actions and happiness arises from virtuous actions. Also, trust wholeheartedly in the Lama, the deity, the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha, the precious jewels. Furthermore, it is necessary to do what is called "closing the womb door", do not perceive all males and females of the six realms as ordinary appearances, but rather meditate on them as the deity's father and mother, this is closing the womb door of the generation stage. Whatever appearance of male and female and sexual activity is seen, know that all that arises is like an illusion and abide equally in the uncontrived expanse of Dharmadhatu, this is closing the womb door through the door of clear light. Understand the faults of taking birth in the womb, see the benefits of celibacy, and do not let the mind be controlled by desire, this is called closing the womb door through the door of celibacy. Furthermore, that deceased person has some experience in mantra. During the generation stage, receive empowerment, during the clear light stage, introduce the spontaneously accomplished empty form endowed with all aspects, and during the stage of ethics, rely on undefiled ethics, etc., to introduce it. Fifth, liberation through recognizing the nature of reality.

其方法是:如果之前密咒中的三种介绍已经认识了,那就无需另外介绍。如果按照通常的方式,比如说,当您遇到敌人或朋友时,所显现的各种快乐或痛苦的感受,所有这些都只是自己心识习气迷惑的显现,除此之外,外境中并没有独立存在的实体。心中生起的各种喜怒哀乐、高低贵贱、爱恨情仇,当觉性向外看时,会产生各种苦乐的感受,虽然看起来像是真实存在,但就像梦中被敌人追赶,或者被幻化的水冲走一样,是迷惑上又加了一层迷惑,所以在显现的时候本来就不存在。当观察所显现之物的本质时,如果认识到它是无自性的,那么爱恨等心念也是无法捉摸的,就像追逐彩虹一样。基于此而产生的喜不喜欢、快乐痛苦,如果认识到它们的自性,那么在显现的时候就能自然解脱,就像鸟飞过天空不留痕迹,或者在水上画画一样,从而爱恨在自身消解,证悟远离一切戏论的实相。此外,您所看到的五色光芒等各种显现,如果仔细观察,就会发现这是自己心识五种智慧的自然显现,因此被称为具足一切功德的空色大印。所感受到的各种声音,是法性真谛的自声,是不可摧毁的娜达(藏文,梵文天城体,梵文罗马拟音,汉语字面意思:Nāda,नाद,Nāda,声音),是不可言说的妙音。此外,在恐惧、喜悦、悲伤等各种情绪生起的时候,那颗没有任何执着的、清明而觉性不灭的心,就是法界不可言说、空性大悲的智慧。对于贪恋执着的本性,如果放下分别念的迷雾,那么心中所期望的显现,就是俱生不变乐的自性面容。因此,对于这些,要放下有为的造作,保持平等。四种状态的习气在自身清净,金刚四相就能显现。如果不能安住于胜义法界,也要以信心来修持,这样就能真实进入这位薄伽梵的坛城。我也

The method is as follows: If the three introductions in the previous secret mantra have already been recognized, then there is no need for separate introductions. If according to the usual way, for example, when you encounter an enemy or a friend, the various feelings of happiness or suffering that appear, all of these are just the confused appearances of your own mind's habitual tendencies. Apart from that, there is no independently existing entity in the external environment. The various joys and sorrows, highs and lows, loves and hates that arise in the mind, when awareness looks outward, will produce various feelings of happiness and suffering. Although it seems like they are real, it is like being chased by an enemy in a dream, or being swept away by illusory water, which is adding confusion to confusion. Therefore, they never existed from the moment they appeared. When observing the essence of what appears, if you recognize that it is without self-nature, then thoughts such as love and hate are also elusive, like chasing a rainbow. Based on this, if you recognize the nature of all likes and dislikes, happiness and suffering, then you can naturally liberate yourself from the moment they appear, just like a bird flying across the sky without leaving a trace, or drawing on water, so that love and hate dissolve on their own, and you realize the true nature that is free from all elaborations. Furthermore, if you carefully observe the various appearances such as the five-colored rays of light that you see, you will find that this is the natural manifestation of the five wisdoms of your own mind, and therefore it is called the Great Seal of Empty Form, which is endowed with all virtues. The various sounds that are felt are the self-sound of the true meaning of Dharma, the indestructible Nada (藏文,梵文天城体,梵文罗马拟音,汉语字面意思:Nāda,नाद,Nāda,Sound), the inexpressible melody. Furthermore, at the time when various emotions such as fear, joy, and sorrow arise, that clear and unceasingly aware mind without any attachments is the wisdom of the inexpressible Dharmadhatu, emptiness, and great compassion. For the nature of clinging and attachment, if you let go of the fog of discriminating thoughts, then the appearance that is desired in the mind is the self-face of co-emergent, unchanging bliss. Therefore, for these, let go of contrived actions and maintain equanimity. The habitual tendencies of the four states are purified in themselves, and the four vajra appearances can manifest. If you cannot abide in the ultimate Dharmadhatu, you should also cultivate with faith, so that you can truly enter the mandala of this Bhagavan. I also

Since the activities of the ritual are manifestly accomplished from the four tantras, generate compassion for all sentient beings. Cultivate devotion and respect for the Lama and the Three Jewels, and remember the meanings of the ritual actions without error. After communicating this, engage in your respective rituals. If the object of focus, the one to be accomplished, has not received empowerments of unsurpassed secret mantra, etc., during their lifetime, then it is permissible not to perform the introductions of the five lights and the four vajras.
