Furthermore, as stated in the Ratnagotravibhāga: "Because they are to be abandoned, because of their deceptive nature, because they do not exist, and because they are subject to destruction, the phenomena of the two truths and the assembly of noble ones are not ultimate refuges. The sole refuge is the Buddha, who goes to the supreme meaning, because the Muni possesses the Dharmakāya. The Sangha is also ultimately included within it." Thus it is. The nature of the object, knowable, is unborn. In terms of time, there are also five aspects. The essence of time is the continuity of conditioned phenomena. The etymology is: because of accumulating and gathering. The definition is: the characteristic of time is that the cause and effect have been used up, or will be used, or are being used. The divisions are the three times: past, future, and present. In this context of taking refuge, it encompasses both the present and future times. According to the Hinayana, one commits from now until one attains the enlightenment of a Hearer or Solitary Realizer. Distinct from that, the Mahayana commits until one attains Buddhahood. The nature is the unchanging Dharma nature, which is unconditioned. In terms of benefits, there are also five aspects. The essence of benefit is a desirable result. The etymology is: because it becomes a quality that benefits. The definition is: the appearance of benefit and happiness arising from virtue is the definition of benefit. The divisions are five: the benefit that becomes a result similar to the cause; the benefit that becomes a fully ripened result; the benefit that becomes a result of personal effort; the benefit that becomes a separated result; and the benefit that becomes a lordly result. In this context of taking refuge, these five are, in order: turning away from the practices of non-Buddhists. It is said: "One will not be born in the three lower realms," and "It becomes a support." "Without obstacles, with little illness and long life." And "increasing," and so forth, are the benefits. Thus it is taught. The nature is: from the power of the profound Dharma nature, all benefits, happiness, and excellent gatherings arise effortlessly. In terms of precepts, there are five: the essence of precepts is the basis for acting with mindfulness. The etymology is: because it becomes the basis for learning and engaging. The definition is: that which is to be taken up through the rite of vows is the definition of precepts. The divisions are two: precepts of abstaining and precepts of accomplishing. In this context of taking refuge, these two encompass the precepts of each of the Three Jewels.

共同的学处有两种。第一种也有两种：根本的学处三种分别阐述，支分的学处三种分别阐述。第一种是皈依三宝等，第二种是佛像等，第三种是身命等。自性是：超离破立的法性完全清净。受持的时候有五种：受持的自性是不退转的精进。词义是因于将律仪纳入自相续。定义是：依靠自力他力任何一种仪轨，将律仪纳入自相续是受持的定义。分类有未得新受和已得重受两种，其中，于此皈依之时，第一种以受持等显示，第二种以怖畏等显示。自性方面，确定人无我的体性和法无我的体性两种，其中，第一种出自《皈依七十颂》：如轮等，执为车，于自他分析，任何方式皆不可得。如是，从蕴开始，执为有情，若于异体分析，亦绝不可得。第二种出自该论：本体非由因缘生，因缘所生乃是造作。本体若是造作性，如何能够是真如？非是造作之本体，不需观待于他者。诸法自性皆非有，是故刹那能知一切佛。最后，为善而作结语之义有五：作者之伟大，如续部等。论典如何著述之方式，如国王大臣等。书写者之译师的阐述，如善妙等。以善根回向他利而作印封，如福德等。作者上师之名号意义的阐述，如皈依等善妙地阐述。此亦由名为吉祥狮子者所造，愿以此令一切众生皆趋入三宝！善哉！善哉！
English
There are two common disciplines. The first also has two: the three root disciplines are explained separately, and the three branch disciplines are explained separately. The first is refuge in the Three Jewels, etc. The second is Buddha images, etc. The third is body and life, etc. The nature is: the Dharma nature beyond affirmation and negation is completely pure. There are five aspects to taking vows: the essence of taking vows is irreversible diligence. The meaning of the word is because the vows are taken into one's own mind-stream. The definition is: relying on either self-power or other-power rituals, taking the vows into one's own mind-stream is the definition of taking vows. There are two types of classification: newly taking vows that have not been obtained and repeatedly taking vows that have already been obtained. In this context of taking refuge, the first is shown by taking vows, etc., and the second is shown by fear, etc. Regarding nature, there are two aspects: determining the nature of the selflessness of persons and the nature of the selflessness of phenomena. The first comes from the "Seventy Verses on Refuge": Like wheels, etc., when grasped as a chariot, by analyzing self and other, in no way can it be found. Likewise, starting from the aggregates, when grasped as a sentient being, if analyzed as something different, it can never be found. The second comes from the same text: The essence is not reasonable to arise from causes and conditions, for what arises from causes and conditions becomes artificial. How can the essence be artificial? The essence that is not artificial does not depend on others. The nature of all dharmas is not all existent, therefore, in a single instant, it is said to know all Buddhas. Finally, there are five meanings for concluding with virtue: the greatness of the author, such as the tantras, etc. How the treatise was composed, such as the king and ministers, etc. The explanation of the scribe's translator, such as excellent, etc. Sealing with dedication of merit for the benefit of others, such as merit, etc. The explanation of the meaning of the author's teacher's name, such as refuge, etc., is well explained. This was also composed by one named Auspicious Lion, may this cause all beings to turn to the Three Jewels! Good! Good!
Chinese
