A Brief Explanation of the Condensed Tantra Now, here, the relationship between the speaker and the supplicant will also be discussed. If someone says that words of explanation of the tantra that have not been heard before and after will appear, because in this Vajrayana, the great bodhisattva, the lord of the yakshas residing in the pleasure grove, the great Vajrapani, supplicates the Tathagata, and is he not the one who accurately gathers? How did King Moon Good, the lord of the city of Kalapa in the land of Shambhala, born from the womb of the virgin goddess of light, the victorious mother, become the supplicant? Because it has not been heard or prophesied in some other tantras, the relationship between the speaker and the supplicant is contradictory. Therefore, it should be said: In this mantra vehicle, the Tathagata born from the womb will not become the supplicant. If someone says this, it is not correct. Because the Bhagavan is also born from the womb. In this mantra vehicle, if the Tathagata born from the womb does not become the supplicant and the gatherer, then Shakyamuni, the all-knowing one, born from the womb of Queen Maya, the consort of King Suddhodana of the Shakya clan, will not become the speaker, because he is also born from the womb. Again, some say: He first subdued the demons and generated bodhicitta, and then became the all-knowing one, the speaker of the Dharma. After nirvana, he will not enter the womb again. This statement is extremely contradictory, because one's own unestablished thing cannot be the cause of establishing others. Here, if there is no Buddha in the beginning, then none of the gods, humans, or asuras will subdue the demons. Nor will they first attain complete enlightenment, because all obscurations have been eliminated. Nor will it happen simultaneously, because when there is a demon, it is not the Buddha, because the mind is with obscurations. When it is the Buddha, there is no demon, because the mind is free from obscurations. What else is there besides this? Karma makes this Buddha...

除了薄伽梵母之外,其他从女性子宫出生的,都不是完全具有大丈夫相三十二种妙相、八十种随好和三十二种藏相,以及具有六种神通的。因此,所谓魔,就是众生轮回之心的习气垢染。所谓佛,就是脱离轮回习气的心。如是,薄伽梵在《般若波罗蜜多经》中说:“凡是存在的那个心,就不是心”,自性光明,那就是脱离轮回习气的。因此,魔是具有垢染的心,而佛就是没有垢染的心。这里,佛陀在外降伏魔军,如同梦境一般,是众生各自内心的显现。如来藏将在第五品中详细阐述。在此,为了众生的利益,佛和菩萨进入轮回,不是轮回者所能言说的。自在世尊我,为了众生的利益,进入地狱时,阎罗王的使者们和阎罗王赞颂说:谁从有之系缚中解脱,却为众生之故而执持生有;彼示空性之义,亦不舍弃业之果;心的垢染被清净智慧之火焚烧,恒时以清净慈悲滋润;行为不可测度,欢喜于众生利益之佛陀,我等敬礼。因此,为了众生的利益,佛和菩萨进入子宫或前往地狱,不是凡夫所能分别思量的。成就十度,获得十地自在,获得十力的菩萨,也能在三千大千世界中,以无数化身向菩萨的应化有情宣说菩萨之法,但那位大菩萨并不是很多。同样,以前的

Other than the Blessed Mother, no one born from a woman's womb is fully endowed with the thirty-two major marks of a great being, the eighty minor marks, and the thirty-two hidden marks, nor do they possess the six superknowledges. Therefore, what is called "mara" is the defilement of the habitual tendencies of the minds of sentient beings in samsara. What is called "buddha" is the mind that is free from the habitual tendencies of samsara. Thus, the Blessed One said in the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra, "Whatever mind exists, that mind is not mind," it is naturally luminous, and that is what is free from the habitual tendencies of samsara. Therefore, mara is the mind with defilements, and the buddha is the mind without defilements. Here, the Buddha's subjugation of mara externally is like a dream, it is the appearance of sentient beings' own minds. The Tathagatagarbha will be explained in detail in the fifth chapter. Here, the entry of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas into samsara for the sake of sentient beings is not something that those in samsara can speak of. The Lord of the World, I, when entering hell for the sake of sentient beings, the messengers of Yama and the King of Yama praised, saying: "Who, though liberated from the bonds of existence, yet holds onto existence for the sake of sentient beings; He shows the meaning of emptiness, yet does not abandon the fruits of karma; The defilements of the mind are burned by the fire of pure wisdom, and constantly moistened by pure compassion; His actions are immeasurable, we prostrate to that Buddha who delights in the benefit of sentient beings." Therefore, the entry of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas into the womb or their descent into hell for the sake of sentient beings is not something that childish beings can fully comprehend. A Bodhisattva who has accomplished the ten perfections, obtained mastery over the ten bhumis, and attained the ten powers, can also teach the Dharma of the Bodhisattva to the trainees of the Bodhisattva with numerous emanated bodies in the three thousand great thousand world systems, but that great Bodhisattva is not many. Similarly, in the past,

以祈愿的力量,圆满了福德和智慧的资粮,以及无畏等一切自在的功德,具足一切的佛陀薄伽梵,在佛的刹土三千大千世界中,以无边无际的无碍幻化之身,当无边无际的众生以无边无际的语言,被各种各样的祈请者祈请时,以能彻底领会一切众生语言的全知之语,开示世间和出世间的佛法,但这位全知者并非众多。 例如,某个伟大的幻术师幻化出众多的幻象,那些幻化出的形象能够将树木连根拔起,也能摇动山顶。如同大自在天和遍入天一样,束缚着天授等,但那位伟大的幻术师并非众多。同样,诸佛和菩萨的幻化之身,也在三有之中利益着众生。因此,为了向一切众生开示世间和出世间的佛法,佛陀薄伽梵先前已成为十二地自在者,是持有伟大幻术的智者,具有伟大幻术的眼幻,在圣地蓝毗尼,从释迦族的君主净饭王的王妃摩耶夫人腹中诞生,即是童子义成。而十地自在者金刚手菩萨,也在香巴拉的卡拉巴城,从太阳光天女胜母的胎中降生,即是月贤。佛陀薄伽梵为了在佛的刹土中开示世间和出世间的佛法,显现十二地,成为了释迦牟尼。菩萨金刚手则在 希达河的北方,九十六俱胝的城市中,为了使安住于此的所化众生,能经由续部之王至上第一佛,获得圆满正等觉的佛道。

Through the power of aspiration, having perfected the accumulations of merit and wisdom, and all the qualities of mastery such as fearlessness, the Bhagavan Buddha, complete with all perfections, in the Buddha-fields, in the realms of the three thousand great thousand worlds, with limitless, unobstructed illusory emanations, when limitless beings are supplicated by limitless beings with limitless languages by various petitioners, with the omniscient speech that thoroughly comprehends the language of all beings, teaches the Dharma of the mundane and the supramundane, but that omniscient one is not many. For example, a great magician conjures up many illusions, and those conjured images can uproot trees and shake the tops of mountains. Like the great god and Vishnu, they bind the god-given and so on, but that great magician is not many. Similarly, the illusory emanations of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas benefit beings in the three realms of existence. Therefore, in order to teach all beings the Dharma of the mundane and the supramundane, the Bhagavan Buddha, who was previously the master of the twelve bhumis, is a wise man who holds great magic, possesses the eye-illusion of great magic, and was born in Lumbini in the noble land, from the womb of Queen Maya, the consort of King Suddhodana of the Shakya clan, as the youth Siddhartha. And the Bodhisattva Vajrapani, the master of the ten bhumis, was also born in the city of Kalapa in Shambhala, from the womb of the goddess of sunlight, Vijaya, as Chandrabhadra. The Bhagavan Buddha, in order to teach the Dharma of the mundane and the supramundane in the Buddha-fields, manifested the twelve bhumis and became Shakyamuni. The Bodhisattva Vajrapani is to the north of the Sita River, in the ninety-six crore cities, in order to enable the beings to be tamed who dwell there to attain the path of perfect and complete enlightenment by the supreme first Buddha, the king of tantras.

于是国王月贤成为了国王。佛和菩萨这两者,是以化身或报身来作为导师和祈请者的联系,因为前者和后者没有矛盾的缘故。金刚手菩萨的化身国王月贤,为了使一切有情成就世间和出世间的悉地,向如来祈请。如来也看到在希达河的北方,香巴拉等地区的九十六俱胝城市中居住的众生的心,处于完全清净且具足善缘的状态,于是真实地宣说了无有金刚语未开显,能极度明晰金刚语的最初的殊胜的十二千佛。在未来的时代,看到二十五百万的梵天仙人,以及九十六俱胝城市中居住的众生都将成熟,因此如来授记文殊名称为种姓王,他将从这十二千部续部之王中,造出略续,并且宣说根本续部之王,以及通过金刚种姓的灌顶,使一切种姓成为一种姓。解释者白莲我,也被授记为第二位种姓王。在那之后,我之后的所有阎罗敌等都被授记。在此,薄伽梵说:从今年起六百年后,为了使仙人们成熟,文殊人主名称将在香巴拉出现。他的度母是伟大的天女,儿子是莲花执持世间自在。我从释迦的种姓中,出生于月贤你的种姓中。善于言说,具有金刚种姓。名称对于金刚种姓来说,通过将四种姓变成一种姓的那个人,种姓王不是梵天的种姓。如果我这样听闻后,为仙人们宣说佛法,因为是从他人处听闻,将会产生不是一切智者的争论。以何种方式和方法,能使有情完全成熟,就以那种方式和方法,来宣说佛法。

Then King Moon Good became the king. These two, Buddha and Bodhisattva, are connected as the teacher and the petitioner through the emanation body or the enjoyment body, because there is no contradiction between the former and the latter. King Moon Good, the emanation body of Vajrapani, in order to enable all sentient beings to attain the worldly and transcendental siddhis, prayed to the Tathagata. The Tathagata also saw that the minds of the beings residing in the ninety-six crore cities in the northern region of the Shita River, such as Shambhala, were in a state of complete purity and endowed with good fortune. Therefore, he truly revealed the twelve thousand Buddhas, the first and foremost, who have no unrevealed Vajra words and who make the Vajra words extremely clear. In the future, seeing that twenty-five hundred thousand Brahma sages and the beings residing in the ninety-six crore cities will all be matured, the Tathagata prophesied that Manjushri Name will be the King of the Lineage, who will create a condensed tantra from these twelve thousand Tantra Kings, and will expound the Root Tantra King, and through the Vajra lineage empowerment, will make all lineages into one lineage. I, the commentator White Lotus, was also prophesied to be the second Lineage King. After that, all those after me, such as Yama's Enemy, were prophesied. Here, the Bhagavan said: Six hundred years from this year, in order to mature the sages, Manjushri, the lord of men, Name, will appear in Shambhala. His Tara is the great goddess, and his son is the Lotus Holder, the Lord of the World. I, from the Shakya lineage, am born into your lineage, Moon Good. Skilled in speech, possessing the Vajra lineage. Name, for the Vajra lineage, that person who has turned the four lineages into one lineage, the Lineage King is not of the Brahma lineage. If I, having heard this, preach the Dharma to the sages, because it is heard from others, there will arise the dispute of not being omniscient. In whatever way and method sentient beings can be fully matured, in that way and method the Dharma should be taught.
