如奔流。誤認彼為殊勝田，此二不相同。他處年年月月修，此殊勝處僅須臾，修持功德更超勝。他處長時勤修善，不如捨棄罪惡業，於法上師生敬信，於此處眠亦能近，無上菩提勝妙果。漁夫屠夫獵人賤，造作五逆等罪人，無論自願或他勸，繞此聖地觀殿堂，沐浴禮拜繞轉供。彼之罪業得清淨，轉生即得上天界。何況其他諸眾生，此殊勝地見即義。彼乃導師正等覺，依於佛陀慈悲光，廣大贍部洲國土。雖有無數聖士臨，然於漢藏等贍部洲，此南瞻部洲之境，究竟實義無餘盡，無倒無謬廣宣說。令具緣眾生皆滿足，勝者親宣大鼓經，以及如鄔曇花稀有，經藏等諸多經中，皆曾授記之全知，法王三世佛陀尊，多波巴·喜饒堅贊吉祥賢。十方三世一切佛剎土，名號美譽雷音遍十方，賢哲成就教法持明者，於億萬星辰聖眾中央，以智悲力之智慧功德，事業光芒萬丈之姿態，壓倒一切而安住於彼。彼之廣大智慧所化現，名為大鼓經之章節，究竟實義無隱藏，嶄新闡釋之大經藏。彼經最終之語所授記，於此南瞻部洲之境，極後末世之時期中，離車族之青年人，世間一切見皆喜，名為持慧比丘眾，彼名喜饒堅贊者。往昔亦於極後末世時，降生於彼時節中，吾之教法

Like a flowing stream. Mistaking that for a supreme field, these two are not the same. In other places, one cultivates for years and months, but in this supreme place, even a moment or a meal's worth of cultivation yields greater benefits. In other places, striving for virtue for a long time is not as good as abandoning sinful deeds, having faith and devotion in the Dharma and the Guru, and even sleeping in this place brings one closer to the supreme and excellent fruit of unsurpassed Bodhi. Fishermen, butchers, hunters, the lowly, and even sinners who have committed the five heinous crimes, whether by their own faith or urged by others, circumambulate this sacred place, gaze upon the temple, bathe, prostrate, circumambulate, and offer worship. Their sins are purified, and they are reborn in the heavenly realms. What need is there to mention other beings? Seeing this supreme place is meaningful. That is, relying on the rays of compassion of the Teacher, the Perfectly Awakened Buddha, in this vast realm of Jambudvipa. Although countless holy beings have come, in this part of the southern continent of Jambudvipa, including China and Tibet, the essential meaning of the ultimate truth is completely and exhaustively, without inversion or error, extensively proclaimed. Making countless fortunate beings satisfied, the Victor himself proclaimed in the Great Drum Sutra, and in the rare Sutras like the Udumbara flower, and in many other Sutras, the prophecy of the All-Knowing, the King of Dharma, the Buddha of the Three Times, Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen Pal Zangpo. In all the Buddha-fields of the ten directions and three times, the thunder of his fame resounds everywhere. Among hundreds of thousands of wise and accomplished Dharma holders, in the center of billions of stars, with the wisdom, love, and power of his wisdom, qualities, activities, and the splendor of a thousand lights, he dwells, subduing all others. Emanating from his great wisdom is the chapter called the Great Drum, the great Sutra that reveals the ultimate meaning without concealment, newly explained. Prophesied by the final words of that Sutra, in this realm of the southern continent of Jambudvipa, in the very last of times, the youth of the Licchavi clan, pleasing to the sight of all the world, a Bhikshu holding wisdom, named Sherab Gyaltsen. In the past, also in that very last of times, he was born at that time, and my teachings

“使其显明”所说的，何处所示显明之法源，寺院之主乃是：名为“常稳圣法洲，了义喜苑”的此地。实乃薄伽梵如来大悲尊之教言所授记。 又是《大鼓经》中，全知法王多波佛陀本人，使胜者之教如日般显明，八十年间，了义之教遍布各方。 之后，期间稍许了义之教不显明之时，再次法王本人为利有情，示现善知识之相，以化身显明了义之教之方式授记说： 奇哉世间普见喜， 教法化作比丘相， 长久行持教法事， 将击大法之鼓声。 彼时从苦中解脱后， 其后世间将成空。 说法人彼已逝去后， 如彼他人谁也不生。 如彼比丘实难寻， 逐渐光明将衰退。 如此彼于南方处， 乃是最后出现者。 圣法隐没之时，再次说法者将出现。 如是说。此处所说于南方出现，乃是赡部洲之半南，于悉达河之南出现之意。 又是于极末之时，说彼将出现，乃是吾等之至尊上师，再次弘扬了义之教之授记。 对此，木兔年（），孟月的十一日，星宿时辰等一切皆极吉祥之时，举行奠基仪式。 圣观世音菩萨与无量佛菩萨于虚空降临之相，以及具光吉祥怙主偕眷属亲临，将此地占为己有之景象，以及诸多极其稀有之外相出现。 其后黑月之初八，寺院之第一根地基奠定。 虚空中彩虹光芒之景象稀

The main monastery, the source of the Dharma that makes it clear where it is shown, is: This very place called "Constant Stable Holy Dharma Land, Definitive Meaning Joyful Grove." In essence, it is prophesied from the words of the Bhagavan Tathagata, the Lord of Compassion. Moreover, in the Great Drum Sutra, the Omniscient Dharma King Dolpo Buddha himself made the Victorious One's teachings as clear as the sun, and for eighty years, the teachings of definitive meaning spread in all directions. Then, during that interval, when the teachings of definitive meaning became somewhat unclear, again the Dharma King himself, for the benefit of beings, took the form of a holy spiritual friend, and prophesied how the teachings of definitive meaning would be made clear by an emanation body, saying: Alas, Joyful One who sees all the world! The teachings have become the form of a monk, For a long time he will perform the teachings, And the great drum of Dharma will be beaten. Then, after completely passing from sorrow, After that, the world will become empty. That speaker of Dharma has passed away, And no other like him will arise. Such a monk is difficult to find, Gradually the light will fade. Thus, he is in the southern direction, He is the last one to appear. When the Holy Dharma is about to decline, that speaker of Dharma will appear again. It is said. Here, the statement that he will appear in the south means that he will appear in the southern half of Jambudvipa, south of the Sita River. Moreover, it is said that he will appear at the very end of time, which is a prophecy that our venerable and holy lord will again propagate the teachings of definitive meaning. On that, in the Wood Female Rabbit year ( ), on the eleventh day of the month of Meng, when all the constellations and times were extremely auspicious, the ground-breaking ceremony was performed. Signs of the noble Avalokiteshvara and countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas descending in the sky, and the glorious Lord of Wisdom, together with his retinue, appearing manifestly and taking possession of that place, and many extremely wonderful external signs appeared. After that, on the eighth day of the dark month, the first foundation of the monastery was laid. The sight of rainbows and lights in the sky was ra

看到了彩虹和盛大的花雨。以前这整个地方有很多蚂蚁等生物，但从那以后生物变得非常稀少。建造寺庙的土石工程中，也完全没有了任何生物。建造这座大寺院的整个过程中，所有的 работники 都无需他人督促，都非常高兴和积极地投入工作。晚上，当所有人都睡觉时，似乎也有很多人在做土石木的活计。后来在建造彩绘、浮雕、雕刻的三种圣物时，也像半夜很多人聚集在一起做这个那个一样，声音迪日日地不断发出。巨大的石板需要很多人抬，晚上被运送到远处，互相传递着放置。非常非常沉重的重物，连小男孩小女孩都能举起。寺庙附近，以前没有的用砖砌成的大水池也新出现了等等。即使在普通人所见所闻的范围内，八部众傲慢者们和勇士空行母众也以神通力给予帮助的迹象也说不完，更何况是智慧圣者所证悟的境界呢。寺庙的地基等，所有看似稀有的土石木等，都像需要时从宝藏中取出一样，毫不费力地自然而然地出现。接着之前的内容，在藏历六月上弦十四那天，从早上热气升起时，到中午时分，大寺庙的三十六根柱子，在人不多的时候毫不费力地竖立起来。而且这上面的所有木材也在一天内完成。当时也清楚地看到吉祥怙主眷属们参与到这样的工作中的情景。第三，关于内部寺庙及其三宝，是如何安住的呢？这个地方从山脚到宝座，都呈现出“ཨེ་”（藏文，梵文天城体：ऐ，梵文罗马拟音：ai，汉语字面意思：唉）字，那是法之源，顶端朝东。在那宽阔的一面

Rainbows and great showers of flowers were undeniably seen. Previously, this entire area had many creatures such as ants, but since then, creatures have become very scarce. Even in all the earth and stone work for building the temple, there were absolutely no creatures. Throughout the entire time of building this great monastery, all the workers, without being urged by others, happily and enthusiastically engaged in their work. Even at night, when everyone was asleep, it seemed that many people were doing earth, stone, and wood work. Later, when building the three supports of painting, relief, and carving, it was as if many people gathered together in the middle of the night to do this and that, and the sound of 'di ri ri' kept coming out again and again. Even large stone slabs that needed to be lifted by many people were transported far away at night, passed to each other, and placed down. Even very, very heavy loads could be lifted by small boys and girls. Near the monastery, a large brick-lined pond that had never existed before suddenly appeared, and so on. Even within the scope of what ordinary people could see and hear, there were countless signs of the Eight Classes of Arrogant Ones and the hosts of heroes and dakinis giving assistance through miraculous powers, let alone the realm realized by the wise and noble ones. The foundation of the temple and all the earth, stone, wood, etc., that seemed rare, appeared effortlessly and spontaneously, as if taken from a treasure when needed. Continuing from the previous account, on the fourteenth day of the upper half of the sixth month, from the time the morning heat rose until noon, the thirty-six pillars of the great temple were erected without difficulty, even with few people. And all the wood on top of this was also completed in one day. At that time, it was also clearly seen that the retinue of the glorious Protector was participating in such work. Thirdly, regarding how the inner temple and its three supports are situated: this place, from the foot of the mountain to the throne, has the form of the letter "ཨེ་" (Tibetan: ཨེ་, Sanskrit Devanagari: ऐ, Sanskrit Romanization: ai, Literal Chinese meaning: Ai), the source of Dharma, with its peak pointing east. On the wide side within it
