即使在尼泊尔，不要说大的成就者和中等的成就者，就连令人心情愉悦的细微征兆也很难出现，很少有人见过。因此，现在新旧两派都拥有诸佛的教言、圣者的圣旨、上师的口诀，具备显密佛法的修持、无数本尊的修法、各种事业的仪轨，想要什么都有。所以，谁也不会遭遇佛法饥荒。在这样一个难以证悟佛法的时代，如果想要修行，我认为没有新的佛法是不行的。特别是对于宁玛派来说，需要念诵和修持的，以前通过闻思就能理解，通过修持就能获得，通过禅修就能体验的秘密，现在还有什么呢？如果旧的没有用，新的有用，那么修持新佛法的人们如果能够获得卓越的成就，那就好了。但是，像古代圣者那样修行的人，现在也很难找到。如果有人能做到，那就太好了，除了高兴和赞叹还能做什么呢？一般来说，如果佛法真的能带来实际的利益，比如平息时局的动荡等等，那还可以说是隐蔽的利益。否则，如果实际上什么都没有，却说获得了巨大的隐蔽利益，那也是令人怀疑的。总而言之，因为莲花生大师的事业和与前世业力有关的众生没有穷尽，所以说那里不会出现伏藏师，并否定有缘之人是不对的。我虽然相信伏藏师和伏藏法，但是如果出现太多无用的伏藏法，就会障碍旧佛法具有加持力的事业；如果出现太多行为不端的伏藏师，就会损害清净的僧团；如果出现太多虚假的预言，就会增加贪嗔和对圣者的诽谤，以及邪见的风暴等等各种损害。因此，我认为对于莲花生大师的教法，显密教诲的珍宝，很难有益处，所以才直言不讳地说出这些并非出于贪嗔的话。自诩为伏藏师的人，以及其他闻思之人，甚至包括在家男女，都应该好好思考。

Even in Nepal, let alone great and intermediate accomplished ones, even subtle signs of joyful mind are rare to appear, and few seem to have seen them. Therefore, now in both the new and old schools, there are the Buddhas' teachings, the saints' decrees, and the gurus' instructions, along with the practice of Dharma in Sutra and Tantra, the methods of accomplishment for countless deities, and the rituals for various activities, as much as one desires. So, no one lacks Dharma. In such a time when it is difficult to realize the Dharma, if one desires practice, I think it is inevitable that there must be new Dharma. Especially for the Nyingma school, what is there to recite and practice? What secrets are there that one can understand through hearing and thinking, gain through practice, and experience through meditation, more than before? If the old is not beneficial and the new is beneficial, it would be good if those who practice the new Dharma could attain extraordinary accomplishments. However, it is difficult for anyone these days to go in the direction of the biographies of the holy predecessors. If there were such a person, it would be wonderful, and what else could one do but rejoice and admire? Generally, if the Dharma actually brings some benefit, such as pacifying the turmoil of the times, etc., then one can speak of hidden benefits. Otherwise, if there is actually nothing, but one says that great hidden benefits are obtained, that is also a cause for doubt. In short, it is never right to say that treasure revealers will not appear there because the activity of the great Orgyen (Padmasambhava) and sentient beings connected to past karma are not exhausted, and to deny the existence of fortunate individuals. Although I believe in treasure revealers and treasure teachings, if too many useless treasure teachings become prevalent, they will obscure the activities of the blessed old Dharma; if too many treasure revealers with immoral conduct appear, they will harm the pure Sangha; if various false prophecies increase, there will be more storms of attachment, hatred, slander of the holy ones, and wrong views, etc., causing various harms. Therefore, I see that it is difficult for the teachings of the victorious Padma (Padmasambhava), the precious instructions of Sutra and Tantra, to be beneficial, so I speak these words frankly, not out of attachment or hatred. Those who claim to be treasure revealers, as well as other learned and thoughtful people, even lay men and women, should think carefully about this. Therefore, those who claim to be treasure revealers...

萨。我乃莲花生大士甚深教法的掘藏者，因此无论如何都想着必须把自己的事情做好。首先自己修持那个伏藏法。那样自己获得成就，即使没有利益众生也心满意足。不缺少利益众生的法。极其秘密地行持。如果到处乱说，现在是虚假者遍布国土的时代，即使生起信心，也只会增加闲话。用自己尚未成就的法很难成就他人，即使没有利益到众生，如果做了欺骗的损害，就以“啊呀呀”的心情生起慈悲。其他想要取出伏藏师之法的人们，也因为人们无法衡量他人，所以不要诽谤。不要接受。即使觉得不对，也不要批评。因为我批评了，也无法阻挡恶时众生的业力显现。即使觉得对，也很难赞扬，因为没有神通，怎么知道那些法是否具有加持力。怎么知道是否是莲师空行母的口诀。因此，保持中立，就像说没有好坏一样。总之，据说有莲师的伏藏法。但是，很难找到那个是否真实的理由，因为伏藏师是突然出现的。如果伏藏师像上面所说的那样非常合格，那么应该找到坚定的信念，认为这个人没有欺骗众生的虚假法。即使不依赖那个人，也应该相信那个人的法。但是，现在的大多数人，如果看到与上面所说的圣者的功德——知识、慈悲、能力这三者的象征相反的情况，就很难相信他所获得的法是莲师的教言。此外，即使自己不是虚假的，也以魔和黑方的力量存在虚假伏藏，以莲师自己多次说过的作为证据。因此，很难证实所有的伏藏法都是纯正的，如果自己能够修法，因为没有人遭受缺少修持之法的饥荒。所以，就像狗和肺相遇一样，没有必要随便拿取。因此，从详细了解因果的善知识，以及精通经续意义、具备各种证悟体验的人那里听闻佛法并修持，肯定只有增长而没有任何衰败，所以就这样劝诫大家。

Sa. Since I am the revealer of the profound Dharma of Padmasambhava, the Lord of Victory, I thought that I must definitely accomplish my own purpose. First, practice that treasure Dharma yourself. If you achieve your own purpose through that, you will be satisfied even if you don't benefit sentient beings. There is no shortage of Dharma to benefit sentient beings. Practice in great secrecy. If you are loose-lipped, now is the time when frauds fill the country, so even if faith arises, you will surely know that only more gossip will come. It is difficult to accomplish others with a Dharma that you have not accomplished yourself, so even if you do not benefit sentient beings, if you do the harm of deceiving them, combine it with compassion, thinking, "Oh dear!" Others who want to reveal the Dharma of treasure revealers should also not slander because people cannot measure others. Do not accept it readily. Even if you think it is not right, do not criticize it. Because if I criticize it, I will not be able to counteract the karmic appearances of sentient beings in the degenerate age. Even if you think it is right, it is difficult to praise it, because you do not have clairvoyance, how do you know if those Dharmas are blessed? How do you know if it is the oral instruction of Guru Dakini? Therefore, remain neutral, as it says, "There is neither good nor bad." In short, it is said that there is a treasure Dharma of Guru. However, it is difficult to find the reason why it is real or not, because the treasure revealer is found suddenly. If the treasure revealer is very qualified as mentioned above, then you should find a firm conviction that this person does not have false Dharma to deceive sentient beings. Even if you do not rely on that person, you should trust that person's Dharma. However, most people nowadays, if they see something contrary to the qualities of the holy ones mentioned above—the symbols of knowledge, compassion, and ability—it seems difficult to believe that the Dharma he has found is the word of Guru. Furthermore, even if it is not your own lie or fraud, there are false treasures due to the power of demons and the black side, taking as evidence what Guru himself has said again and again. Therefore, it is difficult to prove that all treasure Dharmas are pure, so if you can practice Dharma yourself, because no one has suffered a famine of lacking Dharma to practice. So, just as a dog meets a lung, there is no need to take whatever comes along. Therefore, listen to the Dharma and practice it from a virtuous friend who knows the details of cause and effect, and who is knowledgeable in the meaning of the sutras and tantras and has various levels of experiential realization, and there will surely be only increase and no decline, so I advise everyone in this way.

请铭记于心！若无取舍之辨别，则会迷失歧途。于财物精明者，乃末世之智者；于佛法精明者，则会不辨良莠，随意取舍。我无意诋毁他人，然深奥之伏藏如意宝难得，如云“法深魔亦深”。故当于伏藏考证其源流，莫以褒贬混淆视听，如今八法之庸人多行于世。以邪淫、伪成就、假冒、饮酒、财物等，借莲花生大士之名，无需闻思，不重因果，无需修习念诵禅定，仅一日便可跻身君臣之列，多数同道亦依附于此。此等手段令宁玛派之教法，徒增他人之疑虑。是故，若确为真正之伏藏师，则无需唱诵，应以自宗之见解，树立讲修之法幢。若能利益无偏之教众，则为真伏藏，无需自赞，美名自会传遍天下。无需发掘伏藏，正法亦能住世。若必欲发掘，亦当发掘令人信服之物。无需交易，众人自会争相获取。是故，莲花生大士之教法，乃伏藏师们最为珍爱之宝。故当思量如何使其增辉，而非妄加指责。不思教法，只为自身之邪命活计，为求供养，以新法欺骗愚人，竭力讲说传播之人，皆因忘失莲师之誓言而犯错。于诸佛、持明、空行母前，真心为莲花生大士之教法着想者，莫为无意义之言辞所惑，当珍视并守护珍贵的教法。虽悲叹于末法时代，如我一般之人，无有丝毫利益众生之能力，然若有具辨别真伪智慧之人，愿此言能利益彼等之心续。纵末世如黑暗般降临，莲花生大士之事业亦如明月般皎洁。密咒心髓之光芒如太阳般，照亮三界，愿吉祥降临！此乃火马年二月十日，米滂仁波切随忆而作。吉祥！ 他空见，如雄狮之吼。

Keep it in your heart! Without discernment of what to accept and reject, one will stray and wander. Those who are clever with wealth are the wise ones of the degenerate age; those who are clever with Dharma take whatever comes along without knowing. I do not wish to denigrate others, but profound treasures are as difficult to find as wish-fulfilling jewels, as it is said, "The deeper the Dharma, the deeper the demons." Therefore, one should examine the source of treasures, and not confuse and mix praise and blame. Most of the ordinary people of the eight worldly concerns are now going about. With immoral conduct, false accomplishments, pretense, alcohol, wealth, and so on, they borrow the name of Padmasambhava out of desire, without needing to hear or think, without being careful about cause and effect, without needing to practice recitation or meditation. In one day, they rise to the ranks of lord and subject, and most of their allies are attached to this. With this method, the early translation teachings are made to create doubts in others. Therefore, if one is truly a genuine treasure revealer, one does not need to chant, but with one's own view and philosophy, raise the victory banner of teaching and practice. If it benefits unbiased beings, then it is a treasure, and one does not need to praise oneself; fame will spread across the earth. One does not need to reveal treasures; the sacred Dharma will be established. If one must reveal them, reveal them in a way that inspires faith. One does not need to trade; everyone will try to obtain them. Therefore, this teaching of Padmasambhava is a precious jewel for all treasure revealers. Therefore, think of ways to adorn it, and do not criticize it. Do not think of the teachings, but desire your own wrong livelihood. To gain offerings, deceive fools with new teachings. Those who do their best to explain and spread them are wrong because they have forgotten the words of Padmasambhava. In the presence of gods, vidyadharas, and dakinis, those who have pure intentions for the teachings of Padmasambhava, and those who are scholars of meaningless words, alas, think of and protect the precious teachings of the Victorious Ones. Although I am saddened by the degenerate age, like me, there is no ability to benefit others, but if there are others with the wisdom to discern the truth, may these words benefit their minds. Even though the degenerate age dawns like darkness, the activities of Padmasambhava are as clear as the moon. The rays of the essence of secret mantra are like the sun, shining brightly, may the three realms be auspicious! This was written by Mipham on the 10th day of the 2nd month of the Fire Horse year, as it came to mind. May it be virtuous! The lion's roar of accepting other-emptiness.
