凭借……的力量,现在于中阴的这个时刻,细微的元素界扰乱和颠倒的错觉显现。由于地元素颠倒,出现如山崩和岩石崩裂般的巨响声;由于水元素颠倒,出现如海洋翻腾或水光迸发般的嗖嗖声;由于火元素颠倒,出现如房屋森林被火焚烧般的燃烧声或轰鸣声;由于风元素颠倒,所有地区国土剧烈摇动,同时伴随着如雷鸣般的轰隆声,产生无法忍受的恐惧和痛苦。第四,确定的五个征兆是:现在你由于先前执着的习气发作,并不真正知道自己已经死了。因此,由于它的影响,你对先前亲戚后人等的哀悼和哭泣感到无法忍受,即使你走到他们面前说话,他们也看不见你,听不见你。虽然会产生强烈的痛苦和贪嗔,但你前世已经过去,来世尚未获得,现在无处可依地漂泊在中阴,体验着中阴的错觉。这真实的理由是:你与先前活着的时候不同,在中阴中必定存在的五种征兆正在显现和出现。那是什么呢?先前活着的时候,手触摸会有手印,脚行走会有脚印,身体会有影子,摇动铃铛和拍手会有声音等等。但现在,像梦中的身体一样,手触摸没有手印,脚行走没有脚印,拍手和摇铃没有声音,身体没有影子,由此认识到自己正处于中阴之中。同样,先前活着的时候,对于墙壁等有阻碍的大大小小的物体都会受到阻碍,但现在,无论是大的如须弥山、马、牛等,还是小的如针眼、马尾等,对于任何物体都没有阻碍,能够穿透过去,这也是必定处于中阴的征兆。先前活着的时候,说话别人能够听见,但现在,无论走到亲戚后人等面前说多少话,他们都听不见,这也是必定处于中阴的征兆。先前活着的时候没有神通,但现在,具有遗漏的神通,轮流显现所有容器和内容物的景象

Through the power of... now, at this moment of the bardo, the delusive appearances of the subtle elements being disturbed and inverted arise. Due to the earth element being inverted, there are sounds of crashing and roaring like mountains collapsing and rocks splitting; due to the water element being inverted, there are swishing sounds like the ocean churning or water light bursting forth; due to the fire element being inverted, there are burning sounds or roaring sounds like houses and forests being consumed by fire; due to the wind element being inverted, all lands and regions shake violently, accompanied by roaring sounds like thunder, causing unbearable fear and suffering. Fourth, the five signs of certainty are: Now, because the habitual tendencies of your previous attachments have arisen, you do not truly know that you are dead. Therefore, due to its influence, you feel unbearable pain at the mourning and weeping of your former relatives and descendants, and even if you go to them and speak, they do not see you or hear you. Although intense suffering and attachment arise, your previous life has passed, and your future life has not yet been taken. Now you are wandering homelessly in the bardo, experiencing the illusions of the bardo. The reason for this truth is that five signs, which are different from when you were alive and which must be present in the bardo, are appearing and manifesting to you. What are they? When you were alive, touching with your hand would leave a handprint, walking with your feet would leave footprints, your body would have a shadow, and shaking a bell or clapping your hands would produce sounds, and so on. But now, like a dream body, touching with your hand leaves no handprint, walking with your feet leaves no footprints, clapping your hands and shaking a bell produce no sound, and your body has no shadow. Recognize from this that you are in the bardo. Similarly, when you were alive, you would be obstructed by large and small objects such as walls, but now, whether they are large like Mount Meru, horses, and cattle, or small like the eye of a needle or a horse's tail, you are not obstructed by any object and can pass through them unimpeded. This is also a sign that you are definitely in the bardo. When you were alive, others could hear you speak, but now, no matter how much you speak to your relatives and descendants, they cannot hear you. This is also a sign that you are definitely in the bardo. When you were alive, you did not have clairvoyance, but now, you have defiled clairvoyance, and the appearances of all containers and contents appear in turn.

在自在者的境界中,能清楚地知晓他人心中所想,即使是细微的念头。而且,在第二个刹那停止时,像彩虹般显现,这也是确定处于中阴状态的征兆。这四个确定的征兆是没有实体障碍之身的征兆。以前活着的时候,眼睛能看到日月星辰,但现在看不到日月,却出现光明和黑暗的景象,这是体内没有白红明点的征兆,也是确定处于中阴状态的征兆。如此,这五种确定的征兆正在你身上显现吗?仔细观察。如果观察后发现这些征兆正在显现,那么你死后现在一定处于中阴状态,所以要忆念中阴的教言。第五个是不确定的六个征兆:没有确定的住所,如空屋、地洞、山林、虚空等;没有确定的朋友,如天、人、饿鬼、鬼怪等;由于难以自主,显现六道众生的各种食物和衣物,因此对食物和衣物没有确定;没有确定的依靠,如八根脉、桥梁、休息处等;行为举止变化无常,每一刹那都在改变和移动,因此对行为举止没有确定;心中痛苦和快乐的感受难以忍受,每一刹那都在生起、停止和消失,然后出现其他景象。当后面的景象出现时,会忘记之前的景象,就像在梦境中不记得之前的梦一样,对心的显现方式没有确定。刹那刹那都在改变和移动。现在,直接的景象比以前更加清晰。像羽毛被风吹动一样,意识飘忽不定,昏昏沉沉。此外,还有山崩地裂,大地摇晃震动,四面八方被黑暗笼罩,河流波涛汹涌,冰雹倾泻而下,森林被大火焚烧,悬挂在虚空中无所依靠,红色狂风和暴风雪肆虐,各种武器如雨般落下,被野兽和刽子手追赶而寻求庇护,阎罗王展示业之镜,行刑的使者们分发善恶之石,从而判断善恶,丑陋的阎罗使者们喊打喊杀和哈

In the realm of the powerful one, one can clearly know the thoughts of others, even the subtle ones. Moreover, when it ceases in the second instant, appearing like a rainbow, this is also a sign of certainty of being in the bardo. These four signs of certainty are signs of having no body with obstructions. Previously, when alive, the sun, moon, stars were seen with the eyes, but now, although the sun and moon are not seen, the appearance of light and darkness arises, this is a sign of not having white and red essences inside, and is a sign of certainty of being in the bardo. Thus, are these five signs of certainty arising in you? Look carefully. If, upon looking, those signs appear, then you have certainly died and are now in the bardo, so remember the instructions of the bardo. The fifth is the six signs of uncertainty: there is no certainty of place, such as empty houses, caves, mountains, forests, and space; there is no certainty of friends, such as gods, humans, hungry ghosts, demons, and ogres; because it is difficult to be independent, various foods and clothing of the six realms appear, so there is no certainty about food and clothing; there is no certainty of support, such as the eight root channels, bridges, and resting places; various behaviors are impermanent, changing and moving every moment, so there is no certainty about behavior; feelings of happiness and suffering in the mind are unbearable, arising, ceasing, and disappearing every moment, and then other appearances arise. When the later appearance arises, the earlier ones are forgotten, just as one does not remember the previous dreams in a dream, so there is no certainty about the way the mind appears. Changing and moving from moment to moment. Now, the direct appearance is much clearer than before. Like a feather being moved by the wind, consciousness is fluttering, dizzy and faint. Furthermore, there are landslides and earthquakes, the earth shaking and trembling, all directions are covered in darkness, rivers are raging with waves, hail is falling, forests are burned by fire, hanging in space without support, red winds and blizzards are raging, various weapons are raining down, being chased by wild animals and executioners and seeking refuge, the King of Death shows the mirror of karma, the executioner messengers distribute the white and black stones of karma, thereby judging good and evil, and the ugly messengers of death shout and kill and ha

伴随着猛烈的声音,从前方迎接,不由自主地拉扯,从后方驱赶,过去的房屋和亲戚等如同梦境般显现,走到他们跟前说话却听不见,没有回应,看到悲伤的哭泣。心想:哎呀,我已经死了!现在依靠谁,做什么呢?产生强烈的恐惧,如同幼小的孩子被遗弃一般,不知去向,没有依靠。看到自己的食物和财产被他人使用,强烈的愤怒如火焰般燃烧。总之,显现出以恐惧和痛苦为主的难以想象的错觉。前世已经逝去,来世尚未投生,现在无处可去,无依无靠地在中阴游荡,遭受难以忍受的巨大痛苦。不知所措,你说的确实没错,但所有这些都只是中阴的错觉显现,没有丝毫真实可言。如同在梦中体验恐惧一样,没有任何区别。因此,确信所有显现都是在不存在的情况下显现的错觉,放下恐惧之心。不要执着于任何事物,抓住甚深教言的要点。重要的是,要持续不断地忆念:现在必须获得解脱。第三,中阴的显现是:你现在居住的房屋和土地等,居住的业力已经完结。与朋友和亲戚一起相处的缘分已经耗尽。享用积累的食物、财产和物品的业力也已分离。寿命的长度已经到达尽头,各自按照前世的业力,前往来世的道路,这是所有事物的规律。已经去世的你,过去的一切经历都只 остался в виде отпечатков в сознании。现在显现出难以想象的中阴景象,这一切都是从自己心识的错觉中产生的。从外部独立存在的丝毫也没有。如《入行论》中所说:谁造铁燃地?此等火聚何所生?佛说彼等皆为罪心。如是知晓。显现

Accompanied by loud sounds, being greeted from the front, involuntarily pulled and chased from behind, and seeing past houses and relatives as if in a dream, going to them and speaking but not being heard, with no response, and seeing sorrowful weeping. Thinking, "Alas, I am dead! Now who do I rely on, what do I do?" A strong fear arises, and like a small child abandoned, not knowing where to go, with no support. Seeing one's own food and possessions being used by others, strong anger blazes like fire. In short, unimaginable illusions arise, dominated by appearances of fear and suffering. The previous life has passed, and the next has not yet been taken, so now, with no place to go and no support, wandering in the bardo, tormented by unbearable great suffering. Not knowing what to do, you are indeed correct, but all of these are merely illusions appearing in the bardo, and there is not even a little bit of truth to them. It is no different from experiencing fear in a dream. Therefore, be certain that all appearances are illusions appearing in the absence of existence, and abandon the mind of fear. Do not be attached to anything, and grasp the essential point of the profound instructions. It is important to continuously maintain the thought that one must achieve liberation at this time. Third, the appearances of the bardo are: Your karmic connection to residing in your own house and land, etc., is now exhausted. The opportunity to be together with friends and relatives is depleted. The karmic power to enjoy the accumulated food, wealth, and possessions is also separated. When the length of life reaches its end, each person goes separately to the path of the next world according to their previous karma, which is the nature of all things. You who have passed away, all of your past experiences remain only as traces in consciousness. Now, the unimaginable appearances of the bardo are arising, and all of this arises from the illusion of your own mind. There is not even a particle of something that exists separately from the outside. As it says in the *Bodhicharyavatara*: "Who created the iron burning ground? From where did these masses of fire arise? The Buddha said that all of those are the mind of sin." Know it as such. Appearance

由于这些仅仅是错觉,并非真实存在,所以,对于显现的美丽的形色、悦耳的声音、芬芳的气味、甘甜的滋味以及柔滑的触感,都仅仅是错觉,不要执着和贪恋。同样,对于丑陋的形色、难听的声音等等,也仅仅是自心的错觉,不要因为不悦而生起憎恨和想要抛弃的念头。同样,敌友的显现也仅仅是错觉,不要对显现为敌人的人生起嗔恨,对显现为朋友的人产生贪恋。冷热的显现也是错觉,不要因为受热而感到痛苦就产生厌恶,也不要对寒冷产生贪恋和渴望。即使受到寒冷的侵袭,也不应该想要抛弃,也不应该贪恋温暖。当显现为女性时,不要对男性产生贪恋,对女性产生憎恨。同样,当显现为男性时,不要对女性产生贪恋,对男性产生憎恨。如果对显现为男女的形象产生贪恋和憎恨,就会进入胎生和卵生。中阴阶段显现的男女形象也仅仅是自心的显现,是对境的错觉,因此产生贪恋和憎恨是错误的。此外,如果对处所产生贪恋,就会进入化生;如果对温暖和滋味产生贪恋,就会进入湿生,因此要舍弃对这些的贪恋。对于显现为令人愉悦的土地和地方,以及感受到气味的芬芳,这些都是没有却显现的错觉,不要产生喜悦或悲伤,也不要产生贪恋。即使看到刽子手、凶猛的野兽等令人恐惧的生物,也要确信这如同梦境一般是错觉,不要感到恐惧。总之,对于显现为好坏的任何事物,都要舍弃贪恋和憎恨,以及取舍、期望和担忧等二元对立的念头。正如《树问经》中所说: “如于明镜之圆满中, 如何无有自性者, 面容之圆显现般, 树慧!如是了知诸法。” 以及《三摩地王经》中所说: “如幻术师所变现之色, 马与象及车乘种种等, 于彼如实显现皆无有, 如是当知一切诸法性。” 如是,要生起强烈的、一心一意的忆念,了知一切法皆如幻如化,无有真实。而且,中阴的所依是容易转变的,识
