Therefore, one should not be complacent with self-importance, but should acquire it with utmost respect through hundreds of efforts. If one is poor in profound meaning, then no matter how good a person may seem, it will not be beneficial. Therefore, as it is said, one should not rely on a person, but should rely on the Dharma. One should not merely follow fame, but should strive and practice yoga by relying on the profound meaning of definitive meaning. Therefore, the unparalleled Sutras and Tantras, the profound meaning of definitive meaning, their profound and vast intentions, even those who have widely heard the common Sutras, Mantras, and knowledge, and are proficient in logic, and who proclaim many tenets, cannot truly understand them. Moreover, even those who have great innate wisdom accumulated from the past, and who are now diligently studying, those who seem to have profound wisdom, even if they analyze with a collection of logical reasonings, cannot fully comprehend or understand it. Therefore, beyond the scope of superficial views, the profound meaning is like a wish-fulfilling treasure hidden underground, an inexhaustible treasury of jewels, like a treasure house that everyone agrees upon. No matter how it appears, whoever truly understands this, and holds it himself and spreads it to others, that person is one who has accumulated merit, purified obscurations, and possesses excellent wisdom, he surpasses others, and therefore, through the signs of the fruit, one can know and understand without doubt that he is a noble being. Therefore, one should always rely on and please him with great respect, and thus taste the nectar of instructions. Therefore, in order to truly understand the profound meaning of the heart essence of the Sutras and Tantras, my mind, this treasure of profound wisdom, like a supreme vessel filled with countless jewels, also recognizes that I, who am attached to various aspects, now it is time to evoke the profound and vast, like a great ocean, or rather the greatly enhanced wonderful accomplishments of the profound instructions. Therefore, one should drink and enjoy with great respect and with a joyful heart the ocean of profound and extensive instructions that arise from the splendor of the Dragon King's excellent wisdom. By the power of his non-dual wisdom, the rivers of profound and extensive instructions of well-spoken words have descended.

因此,要确切地认识到,从何处产生的智慧,其深刻而广大的智慧犹如大海,其广阔无垠,深不可测。像这样殊胜的智慧之海的源泉,如同龙王或国王,必定是宁玛派持明传承的口诀,即深奥的经、续、窍诀。因此,对于那无与伦比的经、续、窍诀的深奥含义,如同虚空般无边无际,以大智慧一口气吸入并吞噬,将那深奥的精髓,即对心有益的甘露之海的精华,作为自己的力量和才能来获取,并精进修习,为了使智慧迅速获得成就,恳请并祈祷,愿这奇妙无比、殊胜非凡的经、续、窍诀的深奥法灯,能够照亮并显现给具善缘的圣者们!第三,如是说等七个偈颂和一个偈句表明:如上所述,当以极大的恭敬顶礼而住之时,公正的贤者也为了使他原本狭小而不深刻的智慧变得广大而深刻,将以上所说的内容归纳起来,如此教导说:首先,这殊胜的法,即如狮子乳汁般深奥的经续,只能由深刻智慧的良器,即珍贵的金器来盛装,无论在其他普通的容器中如何努力也无法保存,容器也会破裂,精华也会流失,最终徒劳无益。同样,智慧浅薄的人无论如何努力,也无法理解和领悟经续窍诀的深奥含义,因此无法掌握,最终徒劳无益。能够容纳和掌握这殊胜的经续窍诀之义的容器,唯有这良善、深刻而广大的智慧。那么,如何才能成就如此殊胜的智慧呢?将以上的内容归纳起来,精要地修持进入修持深刻陀罗尼和辩才之门的方法的窍诀,这是窍诀中的极密殊胜之法。就像这样

Therefore, one must surely realize that the wisdom arising from whence, its profound and vast wisdom is like a great ocean, its expanse is vast and boundless, deep and unfathomable. The source of such a supreme ocean of wisdom, like a dragon king or a king, must surely be realized as the oral instructions of the Nyingma Vidyadhara lineage, namely the profound Sutras, Tantras, and pith instructions. Therefore, regarding the incomparable profound meaning of Sutras, Tantras, and pith instructions, which is boundless like the sky, by inhaling and devouring it in one gulp with great wisdom, taking that profound essence, which is the essence of the nectar-like ocean that benefits the heart, as one's own power and ability, and diligently engaging in practice, in order to swiftly attain accomplishment in wisdom, I earnestly request and pray that this wonderfully extraordinary and supremely excellent lamp of the profound Dharma of Sutras, Tantras, and pith instructions may illuminate and manifest to the fortunate noble ones! Third, "Thus saying," etc., indicated by seven verses and one line: As stated above, when abiding with utmost reverence and prostration, the impartial sage, in order to make his originally small and not profound wisdom become vast and profound, summarized the contents stated above and taught thus: Firstly, this supreme Dharma, namely the profound Sutras and Tantras like lion's milk, can only be held by a good vessel of profound wisdom, namely a precious golden vessel; no matter how one strives in other ordinary vessels, it cannot be preserved, the vessel will break, and the essence will leak out, ultimately being in vain. Similarly, no matter how hard those with shallow wisdom try, they cannot understand and comprehend the profound meaning of the Sutras, Tantras, and pith instructions, therefore they cannot grasp it, ultimately being in vain. The vessel that can contain and grasp the meaning of these supreme Sutras, Tantras, and pith instructions is only this good, profound, and vast wisdom. So, how can one accomplish such good wisdom? Summarizing the above contents, the pith instruction on the method of entering the door of practicing profound Dharani and eloquence is the most secret and supreme of pith instructions. Like this

名为“ra a”的字母,因为无生,所以是无遮,但却是自显现。因此,它显示了二谛皆不生,是无生之门的象征,所以称为“无生法之门”。同样,名为“ra”的字母,因为无尘,所以是为了证悟平等性,为了自身,必须进入不喜悦有寂的意之染污尘垢的境界,是离尘之门的象征,所以称为“离尘之门”。名为“pa”的字母,虽然在真实的正定中没有任何执着,但也不是像昏暗的黑暗一样,远离胜观的显现,是证悟究竟实义之门的象征,所以称为“实义显现之门”。名为“tsa”的字母,因为是真实的正见,以甚深的确信引导四边戏论寂灭的特殊等持之方式,所以是无有分别念之变异或心造作之死亡迁转,安住于平等性法身的门之象征,所以称为“无死迁转生之门”。名为“na”的字母,对于二谛,在任何方面都没有主次之分,因为显空二者不可分离,就像镜子一样。二者在名言上是平等的,因为名言是声音和概念的对境。在胜义上,二者无有分别的实相,超越了声音和概念的道路,因此是远离名言,显示不可思议之门的象征,所以称为“远离名言之门”。名为“dhī”的字母,像这样的显空二谛无别的甚深意义,作为有法,从现在开始就在像微尘一样的一个事物上确定,即使知晓和证悟一切法皆是平等性,超越了世俗之见的甚深意义。也要观察随顺显现的所见之显现,以此为例,对于那个显现,在胜义中没有承认离戏的道理,而在名言显现的层面,对于甘露和水等有承认的道理,将二者结合而不相违背,从而知晓名言的承认,从世俗的建立,从波罗蜜多乘到金刚乘之间的所有道理,是智慧甚深之门的象征,所以称为“智慧甚深之门”。这样,诸佛所说的因果乘的所有经论都汇集于此。

The letter "ra a" is unproduced, so it is a negation, but it is self-manifesting. Therefore, it shows that both truths are not produced, and it is a symbol of the door of non-production, so it is called "the door of the unproduced dharma." Similarly, the letter "ra," because it is without dust, is for realizing equality. For one's own sake, one must enter the state of not rejoicing in existence and peace, and without the dust of attachment in the mind. It is a symbol of the door of being free from dust, so it is called "the door of being free from dust." The letter "pa," although there is no grasping in true samadhi, it is not like a dark darkness, far from the appearance of vipassanā. It is a symbol of the door of seeing the ultimate meaning, so it is called "the door of the appearance of true meaning." The letter "tsa," because it is true right view, is a special way of samadhi that is guided by a deep certainty that the four extremes of elaboration are pacified. Therefore, it is a symbol of the door of abiding in the dharmakaya of equality without the change of conceptualization or the death and transference of mental fabrication, so it is called "the door of no death, transference, or birth." The letter "na" has no primary or secondary distinction in any way for the two truths, because the two, appearance and emptiness, are inseparable, like a mirror. The two are equal in name, because name is the object of sound and concept. In the ultimate sense, the reality of the two being inseparable transcends the path of sound and concept, so it is a symbol of the door that is free from names and shows the inconceivable, so it is called "the door of being free from names." The letter "dhī," such a profound meaning of the two truths of appearance and emptiness being inseparable, as a dharma, is now determined on one thing like a particle. Even if one knows and realizes that all dharmas are equality, and the profound meaning that transcends mundane views, one must also examine the appearance of what is seen in accordance with appearance. Taking this as an example, for that appearance, there is no acceptance of the principle of freedom from elaboration in the ultimate sense, but in the level of nominal appearance, there is acceptance of the principle for nectar and water, etc. Combining the two without contradiction, one knows the acceptance of names, from the establishment of the mundane, from the Paramita Vehicle to the Vajra Vehicle, all the principles are the symbol of the door of profound wisdom, so it is called "the door of profound wisdom." In this way, all the sutras and treatises of the cause and effect vehicles spoken by the Buddhas are gathered here.

因此,如果能够如实地了解这个关键问题,就能解开显密如海的结扣,从而开启自己证悟和教导他人的八大自信宝藏之门。因此,从每一个字母的门中,理解和证悟包含十方三世的无量佛法,这被称为“词不尽”。从一个意义出发,即使从劫初到劫末都在讲述,也无法穷尽其意义,这就是“义不尽”。即使在一个字母中,也包含所有的字母,并且能够展示无量的法门。即使在一个意义中,也包含所有的佛法,并且一个意义也能展示所有的佛法,这就是“词义二者皆不尽”。所有这些在名言上都没有障碍,并且能够证悟到甚深的缘起,远离常断二边。总而言之,就是确定和证悟平等性双运的唯一智慧,因此也是“智慧不尽”。这种方法也是取出佛法宝藏的甚深口诀,即字母门“阿”等六个字母,每一个都以二谛的方式显现,观想显空、二谛无别、双运、远离生灭。例如,字母“阿”作为能诠,以及“无生”作为所诠的意义,从原始以来就是无生的,因此是平等性。平等性无法诠释平等性,就像用天空在天空上绘画一样。即使如此,它也是所有能诠之源,因此即使从劫初到劫末都在讲述,法界也不会有减少或增加,耗尽或增长,根本没有。了知一切法都只是言说,这就是缘于胜义谛的门。同样,能诠“ra”和所诠远离尘垢,能诠“pa”和所诠胜义光明,能诠“tsa”和所诠没有死亡和迁变,能诠“na”和所诠远离名言,能诠“dhīḥ”(藏文:དྷཱིཿ,梵文天城体:धीः,梵文罗马拟音:dhīḥ,汉语字面意思:智慧)和所诠双运无二的智慧,这些词义的每一个,能诠和所诠都是无生的,因此是平等性。谁能诠释什么呢?以本来就安住于不可诠释的关键,即使讲述到劫末,法界也不会有减少或增加。

Therefore, if one can truly understand this key issue, one can untie the knots of the ocean of Sutra and Tantra, thereby opening the door to the eight great treasures of confidence in one's own realization and teaching others. Therefore, from each letter's door, understanding and realizing the immeasurable Dharma principles that encompass the directions and times is called 'inexhaustible words.' Starting from one meaning, even if one speaks from kalpa to kalpa, one cannot exhaust its meaning, which is 'inexhaustible meaning.' Even within one letter, all letters are contained, and it can demonstrate immeasurable Dharma doors. Even within one meaning, all Dharmas are contained, and one meaning can also demonstrate all Dharmas, which is 'both words and meanings are inexhaustible.' All of these are without obstruction in conventional terms, and one realizes the profound interdependence, free from permanence and annihilation. In summary, it is to ascertain and realize the single wisdom of equality and union, therefore it is also 'inexhaustible wisdom.' This method is also a profound instruction for extracting the treasures of Dharma, that is, the six letter doors such as the letter 'A,' each of which appears in the manner of two truths, contemplating the union of appearance and emptiness, the two truths being inseparable, union, and being free from arising and ceasing. For example, the letter 'A' as the expresser, and 'unborn' as the meaning of what is expressed, are unborn from the beginning, therefore it is equality. Equality cannot express equality, just like drawing a picture in the sky with the sky. Even so, it is the supreme cause of all expressions, therefore even if one speaks from kalpa to kalpa, the Dharma realm will not have decrease or increase, exhaustion or growth, not at all. Knowing that all Dharmas are merely expressions, that is the door that relies on the ultimate truth. Similarly, the expresser 'ra' and the expressed being free from dust, the expresser 'pa' and the expressed ultimate luminosity, the expresser 'tsa' and the expressed being without death and change, the expresser 'na' and the expressed being free from names, the expresser 'dhīḥ' (Tibetan: དྷཱིཿ, Sanskrit Devanagari: धीः, Sanskrit Romanization: dhīḥ, Chinese literal meaning: wisdom) and the expressed wisdom of union being non-dual, each of these words and meanings, both the expresser and the expressed are unborn, therefore it is equality. Who can express what? With the key that is originally abiding in the inexpressible, even if one speaks until the end of the kalpa, the Dharma realm will not have decrease or increase.
