JL01 0006.The Treasure of Qualities, called the Joyful Rain..g2.0f

English

The venerable one does not expire. Even the merit of a single pore, 208, cannot be exhausted by speaking of it all, reaching the sky. It is like a bird's path that reaches its end and returns. Here, in the cycle of samsara, again and again, 209, those sinful ones who have accumulated bad karma, seeing the wheel-turning king and the powerful one, etc., thinking what other refuge can deceive them? With the three—fear, faith, and compassion— 210, the great being who has the mind for the benefit of others, goes for refuge by remembering the Three Jewels. Just as the sky cannot be measured, relying on the Three Jewels, the black and white karmic results, the end cannot be estimated; having gone for refuge, if the form is transformed, 211, even the vessel of the sky cannot contain it. Having entered the Buddhist fold, relying on all the vows, exhausting sins and obscurations, abandoning the harmful side, not separating from the Three Jewels, the protector from the bad migrations, 212, one comes to the Dharma of seeing, which is perfectly endowed. Completing the accumulation of merit, one accomplishes the two form bodies. 213, The refuge of the fruit, which is not deceptive, is the three doors of liberation, the realm without aspiration. It is the uncreated vajra nature. Completing the accumulation of wisdom, one obtains the two purities. Of the two instructions, cause and effect, the first is, 214, for the sake of the mandala offering, what need is there to say more? Even for the sake of life, one does not abandon the Three Jewels. Having gone for refuge to the lama who is its essence, one abandons deceiving the holy ones and proclaiming bad names. 215, Likewise, having gone for refuge to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, in sequence, one's own self does not prostrate to the gods of samsara. One does not harm others, and does not associate with non-Buddhists. 216, One serves the supports of the Three Jewels with faith, abandoning forgetting day and night, and goes for refuge. 217, The instruction of the fruit is the Dharma body of the Able One, having awakened in the realm of separation, attainment, and abandonment, one does not grasp at the savior and the saved, beyond mere words, 217, having transcended, the object of abandonment is also a superimposed imputation. 218, The limit of the abandonment of the cause is the characteristic of refuge, one abandons it by generating wrong views towards the object of going. If the instruction declines, because one will fall to inferiority, one should guard it carefully, like protecting a wound. Those perverse karmic actions that seek opportunities with malice, in the two minds where words and meanings are confused, become a bad vessel.

In the pond of the Lesser Vehicle, the element of bodhicitta, the mind of the Shravaka-Pratyekabuddha who has declined from the lineage, awakened by the power of the boatman of emptiness and compassion, 222. Goes to the Great Vehicle ocean, the island of omniscience. ༈ The nature of the five perfections, such as generosity, not shown in the scriptures, in the iron ore, completely deteriorated, with skillful means and wisdom like the alchemical elixir, 223. Once touched, immediately becomes priceless. ༈ Therefore, the union of compassionate means and the wisdom of emptiness, the bodhicitta, the ground-maker of the four immeasurables, 224. Arises from the two, aspiration and application, and from learning the precepts. ༈ The nature of loving-kindness is the wish for others' happiness. Just as a loving mother treats her child, accumulating body, resources, and all virtues, 225. Learn to benefit others and endure harm. ༈ The nature of compassion is the strong mental strength that cannot bear the suffering of others, and, grasping tightly the cause and effect of all the sufferings of the six realms, 226. Seeing it brings tears. ༈ The nature of joy is to rejoice in the perfections of others, engaging the mind in joy, cultivating good wishes for all. Rejoicing in what each has obtained by their own power, 227. And wishing not to be separated from it in the future. ༈ The nature of equanimity is to separate attachment and aversion, cutting off bias and sectarianism, expanding equality, 228. Treating enemies, friends, and neutrals equally in the object of benefit. ༈ Mixing with essence in the form of with-signs and without-signs. ༈ Desiring loving-kindness, miserly compassion, and, arrogant joy, ignorant equanimity, 229. Are not the path to liberation, they are the partial and close to the four Brahma-viharas, with-signs.

Completely abandon. Here, in connection with the path of peace, The object of focus is all sentient beings, 230 The nature of phenomena, appearing but without inherent existence, From the cultivation of aspects becoming powerful, It becomes the cause for the arising of two Bodhicitta minds, Therefore, it is considered the four immeasurables with special qualities. 232 The method of cultivation can be sequential or without fixed order, Settle on whichever object of focus arises easily. However, if cultivating loving-kindness becomes a basis for attachment, Then be delighted to cultivate equanimity, free from near and far. 232 If that itself becomes obscured and non-committal, Then by shifting to compassion, the cause and effect of suffering are stopped. If compassion is weak and biased, Then by shifting to joy, the arising of inferior thoughts is stopped. 233 If joy causes mental agitation, the object of focus changes, Then the order of loving-kindness etc. should be reversed and cultivated alternately. By cultivating in this way, the ripening results become manifestly superior, In the desire realm, both the bodies of gods and humans and definitive goodness. 234 By experiencing such causes that are in accordance, One becomes separated from opposing factors and attains happiness. With power, one enjoys desirable and joyful realms. If the four actions become powerful, 235 The qualities of achieving the benefit of both will be attained, By mastering loving-kindness, one cherishes beings like children, Without hatred and pleasing to others, The essence of loving-kindness is emptiness and without inherent existence. 236 One attains the perfect enjoyment of mirror-like wisdom. By mastering compassion, one also takes on the suffering of others, As one's own burden, a mind free from harm, Free from desire, emptiness is connected to compassion. 237 Accomplishing discriminating wisdom and the Dharmakaya. By mastering joy, the root of jealousy is severed, Wealth is stable, and peace and happiness are continuous, The joy of meditation is without object, 238 One attains accomplishing activity wisdom and the supreme Nirmanakaya. By mastering equanimity, self, other, enemy, and friend are equal, Without arrogance, profound and peaceful realization arises, Without ignorance, attaining the wisdom of the Dharmadhatu, 239 Manifesting the Svabhavikakaya. Such are the qualities of the four immeasurables, Their cause and effect are extremely vast and without deception, It is the cause of negative karma and other philosophical systems of existence, 240 Without relying on emptiness and compassion as contradictory, It is the stainless path of liberation, the noble path of the Bodhisattvas, Understanding the virtue of pacifying afflictions.
