All conceptual thoughts should be abandoned. Furthermore, the limitless vows, all must be diligently guarded. Vows are supreme among all accomplishments, vows are the lord of all accomplishments, vows subdue the bhutas, vows cut the net of conceptual thoughts. Those who do not possess vows, by power, from the mouth, are tormented in Avici hell, until the Buddhas abide. This is the measure of vows. From now on, auspicious aspirations should be followed. The deities of the vase and the deities of the mandala are requested to depart to purity and space. The vow mandala is withdrawn into oneself, the water of the mandala is poured into the hand. The vessels should be cleansed and washed. Oneself dissolves into the non-conceptual realm. Then transform into the deity of action, and perform the rituals of forgiveness, supplication, and body protection. This ritual of the great mandala, for those who are ignorant of the meaning of cause and effect, who do not possess true meaning, who enter the path of perverse desire, ascetics and those with conceptual thoughts, should not be shown even a glimpse. If it is shown to them, the actor of life will kill him, and he will dwell in hell for a thousand kalpas. Like me, ignorant and deluded, one should not compose this method of practice, but for the sake of sentient beings, I have composed it. Whatever enlightenment I obtain from this, may all sentient beings attain the blue garment. May this root of my virtue, all sentient beings of the three realms, be born in a pure and excellent place. May the fruit of empowerment ripen. May sentient beings, through karma and fortune, see the face of the great Vajradhara. Realizing the meaning of his vehicle, fully realizing enlightenment, by the blessings of great compassion.
