那些行为者也以恭敬心向诸佛菩萨供养,生起欢喜。愿此香消除众生的痛苦,使他们满足于安乐。愿它以喜悦的戒律之香遍布自他一切众生的相续。具有百味的米饭等食物和饮料,甘露饮料和白三甜三等,以及各种颜色、香味和味道都非常丰富的供品,或者由天物制成的祭品。天是指国王,适合在他面前食用的天供。简而言之,许多没有水的食物等,以及装在珍宝钵和卡托拉等器皿中随心所欲的各种食物和饮料,我也都供养给他们。愿它使自他一切众生获得禅定的殊胜食物。在阎浮提的金水莲花中,许多美丽而令人愉悦的莲花整齐排列,形成美丽的莲花堆。用青金石等各种珍宝制成的灯,其光芒遍布阎浮提等,日夜照耀。对于各自供奉的灯,灯碗如同三千大千世界,灯柱如同山王须弥山,灯油如同大海,五种颜色的光芒遍布整个虚空。我也以意幻化这些来供养他们。愿它消除自他一切众生对所知法的愚昧无明,从而获得遍知一切所知法的智慧大光明。用各种珍宝装饰的地面,如同棋盘般美丽,平坦而排列整齐,压下去会凹陷,抬起来会弹起,涂有散发各种香味的香水,厚度如同牛皮的薄片。在那里,将各种颜色令人愉悦的鲜花,无梗,无法竖立般地铺开和布置,我也供养这些。愿它使自他一切众生获得如同大地般的愿望菩提心。无法用思想衡量其广度和布置的,由各种珍宝制成的,五百层楼等等的宫殿

May those practitioners also generate joy by respectfully offering to those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. May this fragrance dispel the suffering of sentient beings and satisfy them with happiness. May it pervade the minds of all sentient beings, self and others, with the pleasing fragrance of discipline. Food and drink with a hundred flavors, such as rice porridge, nectar-like beverages, the three whites and three sweets, and various offerings abundant in color, fragrance, and taste, or offerings made from divine substances. "Divine" means king, a divine offering fit to be eaten in his presence. In short, many foods without water, etc., and various foods and drinks that one desires in precious begging bowls and katora and other vessels, I also offer to them. May it enable all sentient beings, self and others, to obtain the supreme food of samadhi. In the Jambudvipa golden water lotuses, many beautiful and pleasing lotuses are neatly arranged in rows, forming beautiful lotus heaps. Lamps made of various jewels such as lapis lazuli, whose light pervades Jambudvipa and other realms, shining day and night. For the lamps offered by each individual, the lamp bowls are like the three thousand great thousand worlds, the lamp stands are like Mount Meru, the king of mountains, the lamp oil is like the great ocean, and the five-colored lights pervade the entire expanse of the sky. I also offer these, transformed by the mind. May it eliminate all the darkness of ignorance regarding knowable objects for all sentient beings, self and others, and thereby obtain the great light of the wisdom that knows all knowable objects. The ground decorated with various jewels, as beautiful as a chessboard, level and arranged, sinking when pressed and rising when lifted, smeared with fragrant incense water as thick as a thin sheet of cowhide. There, spreading and arranging various pleasing flowers of various colors, without stems, unable to stand upright, I also offer these. May it enable all sentient beings, self and others, to obtain the aspiration bodhicitta like the earth. Palaces made of various jewels, with five hundred stories and so on, whose extent and arrangement cannot be measured by thought

我与所有欲妙,以供养天女们用琵琶等乐器伴奏的赞颂之声,发出悦耳动听的声音,外面的下端和里面的柱子等处,从狮子和摩羯等口中垂下的红珍珠和各种珍宝的网和半网等装饰的串珠悬挂着,美丽而悦意,光芒和光线闪耀,网的角落和半网的末端用拂尘和铃铛和镜子装饰。镜子的表面和铃铛的声音显示菩萨的行持。从旃檀的孔眼中流出美妙的香水,形成沐浴的水池,各种水鸟发出美妙的声音嬉戏。里面的房间里,有些是各种衣服,有些是各种食物和饮料。白天有宝座,晚上有卧具,天神的丝绸制成的各种垫子和彩色的枕头等,靠近七宝,以及各种珍宝的灯光,照亮所有方向,日夜都光明,其量无法用思维衡量且无边无际,遍布所有虚空界,如同虚空的装饰一般。我也将这些,供养于心怀慈悲的本性者,佛薄伽梵与子菩萨众。愿以此,自己和所有其他众生都能获得大解脱的城市。如是思之。以天物的丝绸和各种珍宝制成的伞,极其美丽,具有金色的伞柄,周围即伞裙上,用珍珠等装饰的吉祥结和网和半网等悦意的装饰品装饰,形状非常优美,观看时赏心悦目,举起即竖立起来,也由供养天女和骏马和象等拿着,如同以前导师慈悲者,右边由梵天奉献五百把琉璃伞,左边由帝释天奉献五百把赡部洲金伞一样,时时供养于能仁王与子等。如此供养,愿自己和所有其他众生从轮回和恶趣的酷热中解脱,进入三宝的清凉庇护之下。

I, along with all desirable objects, offer to the Buddhas, the Bhagavat, and the assembly of sons and Bodhisattvas, who are compassionate by nature, those things that are like ornaments of the sky, pervading all realms of space, immeasurable and limitless, shining light in all directions day and night with the light of lamps of various jewels, near the seven precious things, such as various cushions and colorful pillows made of various divine silk fabrics for thrones during the day and bedding at night, various foods and drinks in some of the inner rooms, various water birds making beautiful sounds and playing in the bathing pools where streams of fragrant water flow from the sandalwood openings, the surfaces of mirrors and the sounds of bells showing the conduct of Bodhisattvas, adorned with fly whisks, bells, and mirrors at the corners of the nets and the ends of the half-nets, beautiful and pleasing with clusters of ornaments hanging from the mouths of lions and makaras on the outer lower ends and inner pillars, etc., sparkling with light and rays. May all beings, self and others, attain the city of great liberation through this. Thus, think. The umbrellas made of divine silk and various jewels, extremely beautiful, with golden handles, the surroundings, i.e., the skirts, adorned with pleasing ornaments such as auspicious knots, nets, and half-nets decorated with pearls, etc., are very beautiful in shape and pleasing to look at, raised, i.e., erected, also held by offering goddesses, swift horses, and elephants, etc., just as in the past the compassionate teacher, on the right side, Brahma offered five hundred umbrellas of vaidurya, and on the left side, Indra offered five hundred umbrellas of Jambu gold, so may I always offer to the King of Sages and his sons. By offering in this way, may all beings, self and others, be saved from the heat of samsara and the lower realms, and may they enter under the cool shade of refuge of the Three Jewels.

应当这样想。像这样,对于这十二种意幻供养,因为我们自己的智慧无法遍及三千世界等,所以必须认为它们是遍及的。寂天是一位非常不重形式的瑜伽士,因此没有说广大的实物供养,而是这样毫不费力地圆满积累广大福德资粮的殊胜方法,是菩萨善巧方便的供养。因此,这些供养的种类不能忽视,必须反复修习。这不像观修本尊那样需要持续不断地修习,而只需刹那、片刻在心中浮现,不需要任何困难和疲劳,就能积累广大的福德资粮,从而圆满资粮,清净业障,在相续中生起菩提心,听闻后能理解且不忘失等等一切功德都会产生,因此,以小小的努力就能成就大利益的这些供养种类,如果反复思维并供养,那么比起以邪命和罪恶所成就的供养,以傲慢和炫耀为目的的供养,无论供奉多少,这种供养都更为广大和清净。第三是祈愿力供养:除了上面所说的那些之外,还有特别殊胜的供养,如钹等具有八支的乐器,以及人非人树发出的美妙琴声,如同持世大天无法忍受而跳舞一样,以及乾闼婆之王极喜拨动琵琶琴弦一样,伴随着歌舞的美妙赞歌,只要听到就能消除众生的痛苦,获得寂静的喜乐,所谓的“云”是广大的意思,因此遍及十方一切刹土的无量音声,都于诸佛菩萨前显现,并且恒常不断地各自安住,这样祈愿。以及所有具有经论和证悟的圣法宝,以及佛和菩萨们所宣说的法

One should think like this. Thus, regarding these twelve types of mind-created offerings, since our own minds cannot pervade the three thousand worlds, etc., we must think that they are pervasive. Shantideva is a yogi who is very unconcerned with formalities, so he did not speak of vast material offerings, but rather this is a supreme method for perfectly accumulating a vast collection of merit without difficulty, so it is an offering that is skillful in the means of a Bodhisattva. Therefore, these types of offerings should not be neglected, but should be practiced again and again. This is not like meditating on a deity, which requires continuous practice, but only a moment, a brief moment appearing in the mind, without any difficulty or fatigue, one can accumulate a vast collection of merit, thereby perfecting the accumulations, purifying obscurations, and generating Bodhicitta in the mindstream, and all qualities such as hearing and understanding without forgetting will arise, therefore, these types of offerings, which accomplish great benefit with little effort, if repeatedly contemplated and offered, then compared to offerings accomplished by wrong livelihood and sin, offerings made with pride and boasting, no matter how much is offered, this offering is more vast and pure. The third is the offering of the power of aspiration: In addition to those mentioned above, there are also particularly excellent offerings, such as cymbals and other musical instruments with eight branches, and the beautiful sounds of the Kinnara tree, like the Great Holder of the World unable to bear it and dancing, and like the Gandharva King Rabga plucking the strings of the lute, beautiful songs of praise accompanied by dance, which, just by hearing their special qualities, eliminate the suffering of sentient beings and bring the joy of peace, the so-called "cloud" means vast, therefore, may the immeasurable sounds pervading all the fields of the ten directions appear before all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and may they always abide separately without ceasing. And all the holy Dharma jewels with scriptures and realizations, and the Dharma spoken by the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas

如经中所说,降生之时,有“法显神通”之说,天降花雨,因此,在所有讲经闻法的时节,以及如经中所说,在佛陀证得圆满菩提之时,净居天神等天降花雨,因此,在所有觉悟之法在相续中生起的时节,以及法身之所依,如来八相成道和八种样式的佛塔等等,也就是我等导师降生之时,净饭王在黄色的鹿野苑建造莲聚塔,成佛之时,降魔或菩提塔由有形心等建造,转法轮之时,吉祥多门塔在瓦拉纳西由五比丘建造,降伏六外道本师之时,神变塔在逝多林由离车毗建造,佛陀在三十三天为摩耶夫人说法后,重返人间显现时,由诸天建造天降塔,僧团和合之时,和合塔在光林园由摩伽陀建造,寿命加持之时,尊胜塔和涅槃塔在根本处由巨力建造等八种。贤劫经中说:如来的舍利会增长。如是,如来的四颗牙齿舍利中,梵天和娑罗城下方的龙族,以及羯陵伽国王和持词悦意城的乾闼婆等各自建造佛塔。如来的舍利,摩伽陀国的大瓮八个和烧过及未烧过的布等建造八座佛塔等。 धर्मराज阿育王使役夜叉后,在赡部洲各地建造了无数座以如来舍利为核心的佛塔。国王松赞干布化现为比丘阿嘎玛底西拉,从印度的莲聚塔中迎请了如来的舍利,现在安放在觉卧自生五俱足的眉间。

As it is said that at the time of birth, there is a "miracle of Dharma manifestation," and flowers rain down, therefore, at all times when the Dharma of the scriptures is taught and listened to, and as it is said that when the Buddha attained perfect enlightenment, the gods of the Pure Abodes rained down flowers, therefore, at all times when the Dharma of realization arises in the continuum, and the support of the Dharmakaya, the eight acts of a Tathagata and the eight kinds of stupas, etc., that is, when our teacher was born, the Lotus Heap Stupa was built in yellow at Lumbini by Śuddhodana; at the time of enlightenment, the Subduing Mara or Enlightenment Stupa was built by embodied beings, etc.; at the time of turning the wheel of Dharma, the Auspicious Many-Gated Stupa was built in Varanasi by the five disciples; at the time of defeating the six heretical teachers, the Miracle Stupa was built in Jeta Grove by the Licchavis; when the Buddha taught the Dharma to Maya in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three and then returned to the human realm of Sāṃkāśya, the Descent from Heaven Stupa was built by those gods; at the time of reconciliation of the Sangha, the Reconciliation Stupa was built in the Garden of Light by Magadha; at the time of blessing the life force, the Stupa of Complete Victory and the Nirvana Stupa were built at the root place by the giants, etc., these are the eight. The Sutra of the Fortunate Aeon says, "The relics of the Tathagata will increase." Thus, from the four teeth relics of the Tathagata, Brahma, the Nagas beneath the city of Sravasti, the king of Kalinga, and the Gandharvas of the city of Delightful Utterance each built a stupa. The relics of the Tathagata, eight large urns from Magadha, and burnt and unburnt cloths, etc., were used to build eight stupas, etc. King Aśoka, after subjugating the Yaksha servants, built hundreds of thousands of stupas containing the essence of the Tathagata's relics in various places of Jambudvipa. King Songtsen Gampo manifested as the monk Akaramatiśīla and invited the relics of the Tathagata from the Lotus Heap Stupa in India, which are now enshrined between the eyebrows of the Jowo Rinpoche, the self-arisen five-fold image.
