Mostly. Once, in a place of a great festival in eastern India, there lived a ragged yogi resembling a heretic with matted hair. After conversing with him, it was found that he could read others' minds, and when asked who he was, he said he was the accomplished Asita Ghana. There, he served him for about a month and heard many teachings. He also heard countless teachings from the accomplished Okoranatha. After that, in places like Rulurati, he served as the abbot of about thirty monasteries in the southern region. He gained stability in the generation stage. It is said that he was proficient in about fifty tantras. From the story like the source of jewels, this is the eighth chapter about the transmission of various teachings. Thus, all these descents of blessings belonged to the great accomplished master, Shiwaba Sangpo (Śāntigarbha). This teacher was born in the southern city of Jālamaṇḍala, which means Mandala of Water. His caste was royal. From a young age, he studied many subtle fields of knowledge, including phonetics and logic with its branches. His father was also a mantra practitioner who could see the face of the noble Tara in visions. From him, he received the empowerment of Tara and the methods of practice. At the age of twenty-two, in the region of Kongkuna by the sea, there was a monastic establishment called Golden Banner, which at that time had good monastic discipline, a flourishing Dharma school, about fifty monks, and when including lay practitioners, the assembly would reach about a thousand people. There, he received full ordination from Khenpo Ratigupta. First, he thoroughly studied the Hearer's Vehicle, and then he thoroughly studied all the treatises of Madhyamaka and Chittamatra. He recited from memory numerous scriptures such as the Eight Thousand Verse Prajnaparamita and what is known as the Four Sutras of Mind-Only. He wanted to offer to the Khenpo and receive great gain and respect, so he went to the island of Simhala (Sri Lanka) for a while. There, he slightly accomplished the vidya-mantra of the Great Black One, and through teaching the Dharma, he gained immeasurable gain and respect. He brought these to the guru and offered them as a great pile of the seven precious substances. When he requested empowerments and teachings, the guru bestowed upon him all the common empowerments and also gave most of the explanations of about fifty tantras. However, he did not give the uncommon empowerment.

没有。到各嚓惹（Tsar）派的僧团中去询问，也没有人能说出什么。有一次，那里有个老瑜伽士说：“那是我们嚓惹派的一位有大能力的上师，现在不知去向已经很多年了。”之后也多次寻找，有一次，在靠近森林村庄的一座佛塔的阴影里，有一个装扮成出家和在家两种身份的人躺在那里。问他：“您见到益西协年（Yeshe Shenyen）了吗？”他回答说：“知道，我也正要去他那里。从这里向东，有个叫底普拉（Tipura）的城市，他在那里。”请求指点后，他说：“如果你能把我的这些财物带到这个森林里，我就告诉你。”于是带着沉重的货物，拿着熏香走了。那个装扮成出家和在家两种身份的人先走了。寂静藏（Zhiwa Spapa）在路上被强盗抓住了。货物被打开后，发现只有石头。强盗们非常生气，又把他打了一顿。当他像尸体一样倒在地上时，那位上师又来了，用水清洗并念诵咒语，奇迹般地救活了他，使他能够行走。到达底普拉时，请求指点上师。他被带到湖边，上师自己的身影倒映在湖中，说：“益西协年就是这个人。”他也按照指示去拜见，生起了很好的禅定。于是请求摄受我，他说：“你有什么可图的？竟然说不求名利地摄受我。”非常生气，并打了他很多次。在那里，他对一个富有的施主说：“我给你做工，你能给我多少工钱？”那人说：“每天给你一个金币。”他做了一年的佣人。据说印度人的农活非常辛苦。在那里，还有其他人给他很多东西，他把所有这些都献给了上师。又一次跟随上师，有一次在森林深处，有一头母水牛被拴着鼻绳。上师说：“把这头牛牵走。”上师先走了。寂静藏牵着牛走，主人在后面追赶，抓住了他，狠狠地打了他一顿，像尸体一样倒在地上。上师来了，用方法救活了他。还有一次，上师把类似草房的东西托付给他

There was none. Even after going to the various Tsarya monasteries and asking, no one else had anything to say. Once, an old yogi there said, "That was one of our Tsarya teachers with great power, but it has been many years since anyone knew where he went." After searching again and again, once, in the shade of a stupa near a forest village, there was someone lying down dressed as both a monastic and a householder. When asked, "Have you seen Yeshe Shenyen?" he replied, "I know, and I am going to him. From here to the east, there is a city called Tipura, he is there." When asked for guidance, he said, "If you can carry these possessions of mine to this forest, I will tell you." So, carrying a heavy load, he went with incense. The one dressed as both a monastic and a householder went ahead. Zhiwa Spapa was caught by bandits on the road. When the load was opened, it was found to be only stones. The thieves were very angry and beat him again. As he lay on the ground like a corpse, the teacher came again, washed him with water, and recited mantras, miraculously reviving him so that he could walk. When he arrived in Tipura, he asked for guidance to the lama. He was led to the edge of a lake, where the lama's own reflection appeared in the lake, and he said, "Yeshe Shenyen is this person." He went to see him as instructed and developed a good samadhi. Then he asked to be taken as a disciple, and he said, "What do you hope to gain? To say 'take me as a disciple without seeking gain or honor.'" He became very angry and beat him many times. There, he said to a wealthy patron, "If I work as your servant, how much will you pay me?" The man said, "I will give you one gold dinar each day." He worked as his servant for a year. It is said that the farm work of the Indians is very hard. There, others also gave him many things, and he offered all of these to the teacher. Again, he followed the lama, and once in a dense forest, there was a female buffalo with a nose rope attached. The lama said, "Lead this away." The lama went ahead. As Zhiwa led it away, the owner chased after him and caught him, beating him severely, and he fell to the ground like a corpse. The lama came and revived him with skillful means. Another time, the lama entrusted him with something like belongings, like a grass hut.

安住。师徒二人前往城市后返回，看到所有的草屋都燃烧着熊熊大火。那时，上师似乎非常担心自己的物品。于是，（寂静藏）问道：“我来取吗？”上师说：“去吧。”于是，（寂静藏）毫不犹豫地进入火中，取出了上师的物品。结果，手脚都被烧到了露出骨头的程度，全身也起了水泡。即便因此而死，也认为是为上师的物品而死，没有产生一丝后悔之心。据说，那些重要的物品其实并不多，只有一个水罐、一个椰子壳碗、一个木制曼扎、一个嘎巴拉。当时，（寂静藏）心想肯定要死了，但上师通过念诵咒语和使用药物，没过多久就治好了他。那时，寂静藏心想：“为了医治我这恶劣的身体，上师耗费了药物，这太不好了。以后为了上师，我做了很多苦行，那都是为了自己的利益。因此，从上师那里接受咒语和药物是非常不应该的。我发誓，绝不让上师为我所用。” 又一次，上师想要前往拉康的地方，于是他们登上了船。不知怎么回事，从水中央突然出现一条长着牙齿的鱼，担心它会伤害上师，（寂静藏）就用一把短矛刺向了它。那条鱼咬伤了寂静藏的脚。在水中，鱼几乎要把他拖走的时候，他忆念起上师，鱼就松开了他，自己游走了。当时，（寂静藏）虽然伤痛难忍，但仍然没有懈怠对上师的服侍。七天后的一个早晨，不知怎么的，疼痛都消失了。 后来，在上师居住的东方拉康地方的一个岩洞里，寂静藏需要从各个城市寻找用品等等，有很多事情要做。那个地方有很多河流，需要反复游泳渡过。有一种叫做斯萨拉德的生物，属于鳄鱼类，在藏地被称为“水怪”，也曾三次抓住他，但凭借上师自己的能力，以及忆念上师，它也只是松开了他。此外，还有一种叫做金卡拉的生物，以及鱼和水蛇等等啃咬和刺伤他，伤口数不胜数。

He remained. The two, teacher and disciple, went to the city and returned. All the grass houses were burning fiercely. At that time, the lama seemed very worried about his belongings. So, (Shyiva Sbaspa) asked, "Shall I take them?" The lama said, "Go." Then, without hesitation, he entered the fire and took out the lama's belongings. As a result, his hands and feet were burned to the point of exposing the bones, and his whole body was covered in blisters. Even if he died because of this, he thought it was for the sake of the lama's belongings, and he did not feel a moment of regret. It is said that the important items were not many, just a water pot, a coconut shell bowl, a wooden mandala, and a kapala. At that time, (Shyiva Sbaspa) thought he was surely going to die, but the lama healed him in a short time by reciting mantras and using medicine. Then, Shyiva Sbaspa thought, "It is not good that the teacher has used up medicine to heal this bad body of mine. From now on, doing many ascetic practices for the sake of the teacher is only for my own benefit. Therefore, it is very inappropriate to receive mantras and medicine from the teacher. I vow never to use the teacher as my servant." Again, the teacher wanted to go to the land of Rakang, so they boarded a boat. Somehow, a fish with teeth suddenly appeared from the middle of the water. Fearing that it would harm the teacher, (Shyiva Sbaspa) stabbed it with a short spear. The fish bit Shyiva Sbaspa's foot. As the fish was about to drag him into the middle of the water, he remembered the teacher, and the fish released him and swam away. At that time, although (Shyiva Sbaspa) was in great pain, he did not neglect to serve the teacher. One morning seven days later, somehow, the pain disappeared. Later, in a cave in the eastern Rakang area where the teacher was staying, Shyiva Sbaspa had to go to various cities to find supplies and so on, and had many things to do. That place had many rivers, so he had to swim and cross them repeatedly. A creature called Sisara, belonging to the crocodile family, known as "water monster" in Tibet, had also caught him three times, but by the teacher's own power and by remembering the teacher, it only released him. In addition, a creature called Kimkara, as well as fish and water snakes, etc., bit and stung him, and the wounds were countless.

如是说。 对于这一切，上师的咒语和药物一点也没有取用，咒语和药物等有益的方法全部从别处求得。 上师在那里住了三年。 连同五位殊胜眷属的瑜伽士，十二位明妃。 聚集的轮涅槃也一次又一次地享用。 寂静藏者必须以其他的因缘来做更多的事情。 因为那地方的水中生物特别凶猛。 三年中身体虽然非常勤奋地修习，心中却没有一丝的厌倦。 据说，那时所有的眷属后来都获得了成就。 之后，师徒二人乘船前往孟加拉。 从第一次见面到那时，一句诀窍也没有给予，所以在那里请求给予诀窍。 说：不要贪图名利，请摄受我。 刚一得到那个，就对上师说：对于胜过或相等来竞争的那个人，大吉祥金刚萨埵也害怕。 如是说，显现出愤怒和不悦的样子，逃走了。 在那里拼命地追赶，也没有追上。 七天里在那地方的所有方向寻找也没有找到。 之后去了很远的地方。 在各种城市里向人们询问也没有消息。 这样寻找了两个月也没有找到。 在一个叫戈拉坦达的城市里，哭了七天，一边祈祷一边住着。 在那里也没有来。 现在想：今生没有缘分了。 就在这里死去吧。 从一个岩石山顶跳下去，也没有伤到肢体等。 一点损害也没有发生。 在那里因为灰心丧气而稍微住了一会儿的时候，一个认识的明妃朝那个方向来了。 说：好徒弟在做什么呢？ 因为上师的明妃是上师，所以用头顶触碰她的脚。 我是没有缘分的，因为上师抛弃了我，所以想去死。 她说：你肯定会被上师摄受的。 在那里心中稍微生起喜悦。 询问上师住在哪里时，她说：上师到我的家里住了几天，现在去尼泊尔了。 那个女人消失不见了。 之后，寂静藏者走上路，当他走的时候，看到从岩石顶上跳下来的人们。

So it is said. For all of that, not even a single mantra or medicine of the lama was taken, all the beneficial methods such as mantras and medicines were obtained from elsewhere. The master stayed there for three years. Together with five supreme retinue yogis, twelve vidyādharīs. The gathering of the wheel of saṃsāra was also enjoyed again and again. The Peaceful Hidden One must do more with other causes and conditions. Because the aquatic creatures of that place are particularly ferocious. Although the body practiced very diligently for three years, not a single bit of weariness arose in his mind. It is said that all of that retinue at that time later attained accomplishment. After that, the master and disciple relied on a boat and went to Bengal. From the first meeting until then, not a single instruction was given, so there he requested to be given instructions. He said, "Without seeking gain or honor, please take care of me." As soon as he received that, he said to the master, "Even the great glorious Vajrasattva is afraid of the one who competes by being superior or equal." So it is said, showing an angry and displeased manner, he ran away and departed. There, he ran with all his might, but could not catch up. For seven days, he searched in all directions of that place, but could not find him. After that, he went far away. He asked people in various cities, but there was no news. Having searched for two months in that way without finding him, he stayed in a city called Ghoraṭaṃḍa, weeping and praying for seven days. He did not come there either. Now he thought, "I have no fortune in this life. I will die right here." He jumped from the top of a rock, but there was no injury to his limbs or anything like that. No harm occurred at all. While he was staying there for a little while, feeling discouraged, a vidyādharī he recognized came in that direction. She said, "What is a good student doing?" Because the master's vidyādharī was a lama, he touched her feet with his head. "I am without fortune, because the lama abandoned me, so I thought to die." She said, "You will definitely be taken care of by the master." There, a little joy arose in his mind. When he asked where the master was staying, she said, "The lama came to my house and stayed for a few days, and now he has gone to Nepal." That woman vanished. After that, the Peaceful Hidden One set out on the road, and as he was going, the people who saw him jump from the top of the rock...
