Then, the teacher Bodhisattva went to the secluded Chimpu, and in front of the master who was practicing meditation, he offered a vessel filled with grape wine, and presented a necklace with a gold mouth and jade. He held his head with both hands and said: Great teacher, am I, the patron, not devout enough? Or is it because your blessings are not enough that the temple I vowed to build seems impossible to complete. The teacher replied: It is not because you, the patron, are not devout enough, but because I, the recipient of offerings, do not have enough blessings. Although we are not ignorant of the inner and outer scriptures, we have failed to subdue the gods and demons, which is our fault. However, there is still a way to fulfill the king's wishes. On the border between India and Nepal, there is an Ugyen Khenpo named Padmasambhava, who is a vidyadhara who has power over life, is proficient in various magical powers, and can employ gods and demons like servants. If he can be invited, he will be able to subdue those obstacles. The patron said: But the journey is far, and my resources have been exhausted, and I have no offerings, so I am afraid I cannot invite him. The teacher said again: We have a karmic connection of aspiration, and we will definitely be able to invite him. So, what kind of karmic connection do we have? The compassionate Avalokiteśvara vowed in front of Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light: Until the three realms of samsara are empty, I will never attain Buddhahood. I will liberate countless beings to the other shore of nirvana. When he thought that all the beings in samsara had now been liberated, he observed the nature of samsara and found that the beings had not decreased, and he felt very frustrated, and tears fell. He caught the tears with the fingers of both hands, scattered them in the space in front of him, and prayed: May these two drops of tears also benefit countless beings. Due to the power of this aspiration, these two drops of tears transformed into Ganga and Gangchung, the daughters of Indra in the Thirty-Three Heavens. The younger daughter stole a flower from her sister's garden, violating the precepts of the heavens, and was therefore reborn in the human realm as the daughter of the shepherdess Mingden, named Auspicious Light. She (Auspicious Light)

在名为“大可容隙”的地方,建造了每个面都长五百弓的建筑。在砖和栋梁尚未完成时,母亲去世,并在名为“誓言天女普拉摩哈”的地方成佛。那时,她在人类世界与四个劣种交合,生下了四个儿子:与牧马人、牧猪人、牧狗人和牧鸟人交合。四个儿子也继承了母亲的善业,建造了佛塔的砖和栋梁,并举行了开光仪式,各自发愿。其中最大的儿子说:凭借我继承母亲善业的力量,愿我来世成为护持佛教的护法之王!这样发愿的就是国王本人。他的下一个儿子发愿说:愿我成为护持佛教的持藏比丘!这样发愿的就是菩提萨埵我。他的下一个儿子发愿说:愿我成为守护佛教的持明咒士,拥有清净的意脉,使天龙八部像仆人一样听命于我!这样发愿的就是莲花生。最小的儿子说:愿我成为成办护持、弘扬和守护佛教的三位兄长的所有事业的使者!这样发愿的就是大法臣巴·赤协桑西。他说:派他去当信使!就这样说了。如其所说,给予侍从等丰厚的赏赐,送去大量的金粉,派去迎请住在印度和尼泊尔边境的大学者莲花生。大师以智慧得知此事,以慈悲之心关照信使,在路上相遇,抵达芒域时,在西藏的鬼神中,对佛法呈白色一方的战神之王,也被称为普扎梅噶,也被称为沃玉藏赞,也被称为善友金刚力,率领三百六十位眷属前来迎接,顶礼膜拜并立下誓言。之后,当他到达巴塘时,在西藏的女性鬼神中,对佛法呈黑色一方且法力强大的四魔女、四夜叉女、四药叉女,即十二丹玛女神设置障碍,降下霹雳。大师

In a place called "Great Permissible Gap," they built a structure with each side measuring five hundred bows. Before the bricks and beams were completed, the mother passed away and attained Buddhahood in a place called "Oath Goddess Pramoha." At that time, she had four sons in the human realm through unions with four inferior castes: unions with a horse herder, a pig herder, a dog herder, and a bird herder. The four sons also inherited their mother's virtuous karma, erected the stupa's bricks and beams, and performed the consecration ceremony, each making aspirations. The eldest among them said: "By the power of my inheriting my mother's virtuous karma, may I become a Dharma-protecting king who upholds the Buddha's teachings in future lives!" The one who made this aspiration was the king himself. The next son aspired: "May I become a monastic holder of the Tripitaka who upholds the Buddha's teachings!" The one who made this aspiration was Bodhisattva myself. The next son aspired: "May I become a vidyadhara mantra holder who protects the Buddha's teachings, possessing a pure lineage of mind, with gods and demons subservient to me like servants!" The one who made this aspiration was Padmasambhava. The youngest son said: "May I become the messenger who accomplishes all the activities of the three elder brothers who uphold, propagate, and protect the Buddha's teachings!" The one who made this aspiration was the great minister Ba Trizhersamshi. He said: "Send him as a messenger!" Thus it was said. As it was said, he bestowed great rewards upon the attendants and others, sent a large amount of gold dust, and dispatched them to invite the great master Padmasambhava, who was residing on the border between India and Nepal. The master knew this through his wisdom, and with compassion, he met the messenger on the way and arrived in Mangyul. Among the gods and demons of Tibet, the king of the war gods who are on the white side of the Dharma, also known as Puza Megha, also known as Oyu Tsangtsen, also known as Gewen Dorje Lekpa, along with three hundred and sixty attendants, came to greet him, prostrated, and took vows. Thereafter, when he arrived at Pal Tang, among the female gods and demons of Tibet, the four demonesses, four yakshinis, and four medicinal goddesses, who are on the black side of the Dharma and possess great power, the twelve Tenma goddesses, created obstacles and hurled down thunderbolts. The master

当(莲花生大师)的帽子上变成十二个索顿(一种鬼怪)时,其他的十一个吓坏了,并发誓效忠。但最强大的一个无法制服。当莲花生大师来到乌玉四格荣(地名)时,她用双手举起左右两边的山,互相投掷,试图攻击。莲花生大师自己升到空中,她吓坏了,逃到北方的天湖。莲花生大师向湖中投掷了一个金刚咒语,湖水沸腾,热气腾腾,血肉骨骼化为灰烬。她说:“导师的恩情,金刚颅鬘力,请稍稍放松您的意念,不要制造障碍。”她将脚放在(莲花生大师的)头顶上,献出生命之心,并发誓效忠,她的秘密名字是无肉白雪金刚普贤。然后,他们沿着北方的道路前进。北方八个地方的强盗抢走了(他们的)坐骑,一匹名叫穆格罗昂纳的马。他命令四个星宿女仆降下像马头一样大的冰雹。在念青唐古拉山的附近,他们搭起了一个白色的帐篷,打算在那里休息几天。晚上,念青唐古拉山制造了障碍,降下了漫长的铁霹雳。莲花生大师将白色的帐篷观想成一个金刚帐篷,所有的霹雳都滑落了,消失在附近的一个小湖里。第二天早上,当太阳升起时,他们看到湖里的所有生物都被霹雳击中而死亡,湖水变成了红色。为了这件事,他建造了一个净化恶道的坛城,为湖中死去的生物们做了法事。他对唐古拉山非常生气,说:“住着一个有力量的人。”然后,他从自己的恐吓指尖燃起火焰,融化了雪山顶。唐古拉山吓坏了,变成了一个戴着绿松石发辫的小男孩,把头放在莲花生大师的膝盖上,脚伸向康区的雅莫塘。他说:“伟大的莲花生大师,您知道我是谁吗?”莲花生大师说:“我明明知道,但我假装不知道你是谁。”他说:“我是伟大的念青唐古拉山,也被称为雅尔秀。也被称为五髻天王。我是这片藏地所有对佛法怀有敌意的男性邪魔的首领,我...

When the headgear turned into twelve Soldums (a type of demon), the other eleven were frightened and swore allegiance. But the most powerful one could not be subdued. When the master went to U-yug Zhi-sgrom's gorge, she lifted the two mountains on the left and right with her two hands and threw them at each other, trying to attack. The master himself went up into the air, and she was frightened and fled to the northern Namtso Lake. The master threw a vajra mantra into the lake, and the lake boiled, and the heat turned flesh and bones into white ash. She said, "Master's kindness, Vajra Garland Power, please relax your mind for a moment, do not create obstacles." She placed her feet on the master's head, offered her life essence, and swore allegiance, and her secret name is Meatless White Snow Vajra Kuntuzangpo. Then, they proceeded along the northern road. The robbers of the eight northern places stole (their) mount, a horse named Mugro Angnak. He ordered four star-faced maids to drop hail the size of a horse's head. Near the flanks of Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain, they pitched a white tent, intending to rest there for a few days. At night, Nyenchen Tanglha created obstacles, dropping a long iron thunderbolt. The master visualized the white tent as a vajra tent, and all the thunderbolts slid off and disappeared into a small lake nearby. The next morning, when the sun rose, they saw that all the creatures in the lake had been killed by the thunderbolt, and the lake had turned red. For this reason, he built a mandala for purifying the lower realms and performed rituals for the creatures that had died in the lake. He was very angry with Tanglha Mountain, saying, "There lives a powerful one." Then, he ignited a fire from the tip of his threatening finger and melted the top of the snow mountain. Tanglha was frightened and turned into a small boy with turquoise braids, placing his head on the master's lap and stretching his legs towards Yamo Tang in Kham. He said, "Great Master, do you know who I am?" The master said, "I know, but I pretend not to know who you are." He said, "I am the great Nyenchen Tanglha, also known as Yarzhur. Also known as the King of the Gandharvas, Five Braids. I am the leader of all the male demons in this land of Tibet who are hostile to the Dharma, I...

于是迎请莲花生到帐篷里,款待供养。当时莲花生说:“你如果是所有男魔的首领,就把所有男魔都聚集到我这里。”他用鞭子抽打了三次,第一次聚集了西藏地方有大神力的四大国王、四大首领、四大将军、四大魔王、五个工匠,共二十一人。第二次聚集了在他们之下的有大神力的男魔。第三次聚集了西藏所有的神鬼男魔,多到充满天地之间。莲花生驱逐了其他的鬼神,让二十一位居士立下誓言,献上命根,承诺成为金刚橛的护法。之后,在一本目录中显示,莲花生去往了隆藏绒。他去了肖绒,在卡东波切为无数短命的地狱众生做了利益之事。之后,在祖普炯布的园林里,他搭起了一座丝绸帐篷,在那里禅定了七天,降伏了西藏所有的神鬼。之后,使者们去到国王面前禀告说:“按照您的吩咐,一切都已圆满完成,莲花生大师现在住在祖普炯布的园林里。”国王听后非常高兴,于是用各种供品和乐器前去迎接,将莲花生大师迎请到桑耶寺的翁布园林。国王和莲花生大师在礼节上发生了争执。国王说:“我这样的黑头之主,是阻碍魔障的因缘,是菩提萨埵的后裔,你们应该向我顶礼。”莲花生大师说:“我是一位持明咒者,安住于正确的见解之道,能像奴仆一样役使天神和魔鬼,你们应该向我顶礼。”国王不听,莲花生大师看到国王的心中供奉着一尊天然形成的石制毗卢遮那佛像,于是说道:“毗卢遮那佛是色身的本尊,智慧本尊应该向他顶礼。”说完,便用头去顶撞佛像。毗卢遮那佛像立刻裂开了一道口子。国王和他的随从都吓得惊慌失措,心想:“这个人会毁掉整个西藏

Then, Padmasambhava was invited to the tent and treated with hospitality and offerings. At that time, Padmasambhava said, "If you are the leader of all male demons, gather all the male demons to me here." He whipped three times, and the first time he gathered four great kings, four chieftains, four generals, four demon kings, and five artisans, twenty-one in total, who had great power in Tibet. The second time, he gathered the male demons with great power under them. The third time, he gathered all the gods, ghosts, and male demons of Tibet, so many that they filled the space between heaven and earth. Padmasambhava expelled the other spirits, made twenty-one lay practitioners take vows, offered their life force, and promised to become the protectors of Vajrakilaya. After that, a catalog showed that Padmasambhava went to Lungtsang Rong. He went to Shorong and benefited countless short-lived hell beings in Kadong Poche. After that, in the garden of Zurpuk Kyangbu, he set up a silk tent and meditated there for seven days, subduing all the gods and ghosts of Tibet. After that, messengers went to the king and reported, "According to your instructions, everything has been completed perfectly, and Master Padmasambhava is now residing in the garden of Zurpuk Kyangbu." The king was very happy to hear this, so he went to greet him with various offerings and musical instruments, and invited Master Padmasambhava to the Ombui Garden of Samye Monastery. The king and Master Padmasambhava had a dispute over etiquette. The king said, "I, the lord of the black-headed people, am the cause of obstructing demonic obstacles, and am a descendant of Bodhisattvas, you should prostrate to me." Master Padmasambhava said, "I am a Vidyadhara mantra holder, abiding in the path of correct view, and can employ gods and demons like servants, you should prostrate to me." The king did not listen, and Master Padmasambhava saw that the king's heart was enshrining a naturally formed stone statue of Vairochana, so he said, "Vairochana Buddha is the deity of the form body, the wisdom deity should prostrate to him." After saying that, he bumped his head against the Buddha statue. The Vairochana Buddha statue immediately cracked. The king and his entourage were frightened and panicked, thinking, "This person will destroy all of Tibet."
