于彼寂灭中。伴随声与光,于三身刹土中显现,为应化有情众,留下余蕴。亦留下身舍利,以利他之方便,逐步引导众生。又于中阴之际,与自显智慧本尊相遇,识自本面而得解脱,此亦因果之故。化身复化身,身与相好极庄严,于清净刹土极显耀,彼即现证菩提,且与彼等圆满相应,于共同精华中显明。如是说。此乃一心祈请邬金仁波切,于今生来世显现瑞相之方式。若于顶上观想上师为诸佛之总集而祈请,其利益者。智慧光明灯续云: 具足相好之本尊,较之于亿劫中修持,忆念上师福德大。如是说。誓言庄严续云:具足相好之本尊,较之于亿劫中修持,忆念上师乃亿之雨。如是说。智慧海誓言胜续云:总与个别恒时中,于顶上修持上师之人,较之于亿万劫空性中,修持本尊之福德,不可比拟于千万之雨。是故较之于千劫成佛,当知上师更为重要。如是说。阿底庄严续云:具恩德之上师,于顶髻或心间,或于手掌心,何人修持之,彼人亦将持有千佛之功德。如是说。吉祥密集续云:何人于心间修持上师,以此定能获得菩提,乃大稀有之成就。身语意定能成就。如是说。誓言庄严 海续云:较之于圆满次第中,于劫中远离喧嚣散乱而修持,于自心间上师,刹那间生起,亦不可比拟于二千万之雨。如是说。空行秘密藏续云:定于上师处生起,唯有是佛之想念。

In that very Nirvana. Accompanied by sound and light, manifesting in the realm of the three bodies, leaving remnants for the sentient beings to be tamed. Also leaving behind body relics, using the means of benefiting others, gradually guiding sentient beings. Also, in the Bardo state, encountering the self-appearing wisdom deity, recognizing one's own face and attaining liberation, this is also due to cause and effect. Emanation after emanation, the body and marks are extremely adorned, shining brightly in the pure land, that is the manifestation of enlightenment, and is perfectly in accordance with them, manifesting clearly in the common essence. Thus it is said. These are the ways in which signs appear in this life and the next by praying to Orgyen Rinpoche with one-pointedness. The benefits of meditating on the Guru as the embodiment of all Buddhas on the crown of the head and praying are: From the Tantra of the Lamp of Clear Wisdom: A deity with marks and signs, more meritorious than meditating for a hundred thousand kalpas, is remembering the Guru. Thus it is said. From the Tantra of the Arrangement of Samaya: A deity with marks and signs, by meditating for a hundred thousand kalpas, is a rain of a hundred thousand of remembering the Guru. Thus it is said. From the Tantra of the Supreme Samaya of the Ocean of Wisdom: In general and individually, at all times, a person who meditates on the Guru on the crown of the head, compared to the merit of meditating on the Yidam in emptiness for hundreds of thousands of kalpas, cannot be compared to the rain of countless thousands. Therefore, compared to becoming a Buddha in a thousand kalpas, one should know that the Guru is more important. Thus it is said. From the Tantra of the Arrangement of Ati: That Guru with kindness, on the crown of the head or in the heart, or in the palm of the hand, whoever meditates on him, that person will also hold the qualities of a thousand Buddhas. Thus it is said. From the Glorious Guhyasamaja Tantra: Whoever meditates on the Guru in the heart, by this will surely attain enlightenment, it is a great and wonderful accomplishment. Body, speech, and mind will surely be accomplished. Thus it is said. The Tantra of the Arrangement of Samaya Ocean says: Compared to meditating in the completion stage, for kalpas, abandoning busyness and distraction, the Guru in one's own heart, just arising for a moment, cannot be compared to the rain of twenty million. Thus it is said. From the Tantra of the Secret Treasury of Dakini: Definitely arising in the Guru, only the thought of being a Buddha.

能够获得这样的果位,其他方法都是低劣的途径。譬如如意宝珠一般,以清净的增上意乐,能够成办一切所需所愿。如是,出自无上果续大根本无垢精华: 凡所修持的上师佛,皆由虔诚之力而生。上师乃一切坛城之主,是伟大的本性尊众。一切殊胜与共同成就,皆从至尊上师处生。如意生宝,与之结缘皆具意义。如是,出自大根本无垢精华续: 若对上师无有虔诚,纵然修持亦难成就。因此以一切恭敬,令上师之身语意欢喜。凡有虔诚,胜者之子,本有俱生智慧现前。如是,出自如意胜续: 以观想自身上师,为欲求之神,于头顶之上,能令千百万佛之坛城,置于掌中而绕三千世界。于心间融入三次,纵百千次亦不畏惧。因此恒常忆念,于头顶轮之庄严,应思维具德上师。如是,出自空行秘密藏续: 胜过获得对本尊的坚定,刹那忆念上师更为殊胜。明晰而不分别的安乐,与其无有分别的即是,唯有观修上师才能生起转变,其他方式难以成就。犹如燃烧的珍宝,赐予不忘失的殊胜成就。如是,出自无垢秘密续: 从光荣之主上师处,生出五部佛与佛母众,寂静忿怒不定无漏,安乐的本尊身无上,于法界自性中清晰显现。如是,出自佛陀集聚续: 无论调伏何者,如同调伏众生的田地一般,发起修持上师之方便,谁若致力于此,即是大乘上师之种子,将成为一切之大主宰。如是,出自密集金刚续: 弟子以恭敬心对上师,以长音和清晰的声音,以及高亢的声音祈请,我将赐予他成就。如是,出自智慧海续: 亲近和

Attaining this state, other methods are inferior paths. Like a wish-fulfilling jewel, with pure higher intention, it accomplishes all needs and desires. Thus, from the Great Root Tantra of Supreme Fruit, the Essence of Immaculate Purity: Whatever Lama Buddha is accomplished, arises from the power of devotion. The Lama is the lord of all mandalas, the great essence of the deity assembly. All supreme and common attainments arise from the supreme Lama. The wish-fulfilling jewel, whoever connects with it is meaningful. Thus, from the Great Root Tantra of Immaculate Purity: If there is no devotion to the Lamas, even if practiced, it will not be accomplished. Therefore, with all reverence, please the body, speech, and mind of the Lama. Whoever has devotion, the son of the Victorious One, the innate co-emergent wisdom arises. Thus, from the Wish-Fulfilling Supreme Tantra: By meditating on one's own Lama as the deity of desire, on the crown of the head, it can cause thousands of Buddha mandalas, placed in the palm, to circle the three thousand worlds. By dissolving three times into the heart, even a hundred thousand times, it will not be afraid of rain. Therefore, always remembering, as the ornament of the crown chakra, one should contemplate the glorious Lama. Thus, from the Dakini Secret Treasury Tantra: Better than gaining stability in a deity, a moment's remembrance of the Lama is supreme. Clear and non-conceptual bliss, and that which is inseparable from it, arises only from meditating on the Lama; it is difficult to accomplish by other means. Like a burning precious jewel, it bestows the supreme accomplishment of not forgetting. Thus, from the Immaculate Secret Tantra: From the glorious lord Lama, arise the five families of Buddhas and the assembly of Buddha-mothers, peaceful, wrathful, uncertain, without outflows, the blissful deity body is supreme, clearly manifesting from the nature of the Dharma realm. Thus, from the Buddha Assembly Tantra: Whatever is tamed, like a field for taming beings, initiate the means of practicing the Lama, whoever strives for this purpose is the seed of the Mahayana Lama, and will become the great lord of all. Thus, from the Guhyasamaja Tantra: The disciple, with reverence for the Lama, with a long and clear voice, and with a high voice, prays, I will grant him accomplishment. Thus, from the Wisdom Ocean Tantra: Approaching and

相比于修持,念诵一遍上师祈请文,其力量是千百万修持都无法比拟的。 《黑敌续》中说:显现为法身上师之形相,对其毫无怀疑之人,智者会迅速获得成就,或者愚者信心坚定,也会迅速获得加持成就,而那些思辨且行持的思辨者,则很难获得成就。 《智慧海续》中说:于上师之身的坛城中,圆满接受四种灌顶,以此便能行遍所有道位。 《上师三身大乐续》中说:于初始佛陀上师处,自心成熟为三身,从此祈请加持和随许,获得极深上师之灌顶后,便能迅速现前成佛。 《誓言安立续》中说:相比于念诵本尊咒语一亿遍,念诵一遍上师祈请文更令人欢喜。 《智慧现前菩提续》中说:道与地的所有次第,都应以对上师的虔诚来修习,若与上师之显现不分离,便不会与诸佛分离。 法身智慧空行母之语中说:密咒念修是加持之道,加持是虔诚之道,虔诚依赖于祈请,因此,务必获得祈请燃烧之法,如此,加持便会降临于心间。 以上所说,通常是对任何具相上师祈请,都会产生这些利益。然而,若想所有利益都产生,并迅速获得加持和成就,则应修持并祈请莲花生大师。莲师亲言:尤其是想迅速获得加持和成就,就观修金刚猛厉莲师我,三世诸佛之功德于我圆满,诸佛寂怒本尊密咒内外,以及勇士空行之加持成就等,如珍宝般具足一切功德,所有这些都完整地存在于我身上。仅仅忆念和观修我,诸佛菩萨便以慈悲垂视我,内外密咒所有本尊众,都会赐予灌顶加持和成就,所有空行母众

Compared to practice, reciting the Guru's prayer once is more powerful than a million practices. In the "Black Enemy Tantra," it says: Appearing in the form of the Dharmakaya Guru, those who have no doubt about it, the wise will quickly attain accomplishments, or the foolish with steadfast faith will also quickly attain blessings and accomplishments, while those who speculate and practice, the speculators, will find it very difficult to attain accomplishments. In the "Wisdom Ocean Tantra," it says: In the mandala of the Guru's body, fully receive the four empowerments, and thereby traverse all paths and stages. In the "Guru Three Bodies Great Bliss Tantra," it says: At the primordial Buddha Guru, may one's own mind ripen into the three bodies, from this, request blessings and permission, and having obtained the profound Guru's empowerment, one will quickly manifest enlightenment. In the "Oath Establishment Tantra," it says: Compared to reciting the mantra of the deity a million times, one recitation of the Guru's prayer is more pleasing. In the "Wisdom Manifest Enlightenment Tantra," it says: All the stages of ground and path should be practiced with devotion to the Guru. If one does not separate from the Guru's appearance, one will not be separated from all the Buddhas. In the words of the Dharmakaya Wisdom Dakini, it says: Secret mantra practice is the path of blessings, blessings are the path of devotion, and devotion depends on prayer. Therefore, be sure to obtain the method of burning prayer, so that blessings will descend into the heart. All of the above means that generally, praying to any qualified Guru will produce these benefits. However, if you want all the benefits to arise and quickly obtain blessings and accomplishments, you should practice and pray to Guru Padmasambhava. Guru himself said: Especially if you want to quickly obtain blessings and accomplishments, meditate on Vajra Fierce Wrathful Padmasambhava, myself. The qualities of the Buddhas of the three times are complete in me. The blessings and accomplishments of the peaceful and wrathful deities of the Victorious Ones, the inner and outer secret mantras, and the heroes and dakinis, like a jewel possessing all qualities, all of these are completely present in me without exception. Just by remembering and meditating on me, the Victorious Ones and their sons will look upon me with compassion. All the deity assemblies of the inner and outer secret mantras will bestow empowerment, blessings, and accomplishments. All the assemblies of mamos and dakinis

臣仆一般。(所有)护法、持教者都像仆人一样听命。(所有)显有、世间神鬼都如教言般成办。一切功德因我而修生,一切悉地因我而修得,一切事业因我而修成。如是说后,莲师亲自造作修法仪轨并赐予。修法仪轨也分为四类法:外祈请之类,内加持之类,秘密悉地之类,猛厉事业之类。如是所说之中,此第七品是外祈请之类。总的来说,如今已是末法时代,而且越来越恶劣,即使祈祷,也难以如所说的那样出现征兆和利益。然而,据说时代越是恶劣,邬金仁波切的加持力就越大,慈悲也越迅速。因此,如果有人从内心深处祈祷,肯定会得到加持。即使在如今的末法时代,也有这样的事迹:一位商人建造了《莲花生大师传》,并将其装在骡子上。强盗赶走了其他同伴的骡子和商人的所有骡子,但装载着《莲花生大师传》的骡子却跑了回来,所以没有丢失。还有,两位老妇人有两头母牛。其中一位老妇人一心一意地修持《七品祈请文》和金刚上师(藏文:བཛྲ་གུ་རུ,梵文天城体:वज्रगुरु,梵文罗马拟音:vajraguru,汉语字面意思:金刚上师)。盗贼 晚上把两头母牛偷走了。其中一位老妇人告诉了村里人,大家都去追赶,但没有追上。另一位老妇人一心一意地向莲师祈祷,然后躺下睡觉。结果,第二天早上,祈祷者的母牛自己带着一根缰绳跑回家了。还有,一位老妇人一心一意地修持《七品祈请文》和金刚上师(藏文:བཛྲ་གུ་རུ,梵文天城体:वज्रगुरु,梵文罗马拟音:vajraguru,汉语字面意思:金刚上师),住在远离村庄的僻静山里。一天晚上,她打水回来,在路上遇到了一只熊。她闭上眼睛,向莲师祈祷,然后默默地坐着。那只熊用鼻子碰了碰她的帽子,闻了闻,没有伤害她就走了。还有,一位伟大的上师主要修持《七品祈请文》,结果在天空的彩虹帐篷中亲眼见到了莲师,而且大家都看到了花。
