Furthermore, when the time comes for the lotus garden of the teachings to flourish in every way, most of those who foolishly follow the darkness and are obviously delighted in words hold the asceticism of the twice-born of name only. 17. May those with bodies of wisdom, fully developing the power of the wings of faith, be blown by the winds of karma into unclean places while wandering in the garden of the wise, the treasure of honey of good explanations, in order to proclaim the songs of the scriptures. 18. Those fortunate ones with discriminating wisdom, those who desire to seek that supreme Great Vehicle, respectfully hold this precious lamp that clarifies the definitive meaning of the scriptures. 19. Thus, may all the decline of samsara and nirvana of all sentient beings who follow the sky be pacified, and may they attain the state of omniscience, through the unsurpassed secret of the speech of the supreme buddhas and bodhisattvas, and through the good deeds of clarifying this supremely difficult-to-realize, excellent meaning as the scriptures explain. 20. The treatise on the Great Vehicle, the Uttaratantra, which clarifies the definitive meaning, called "The Jewel Lamp," was composed at the great Dharma school of glorious Sangpu Ne'utok, the abode relied upon by the assembly of wise men, by the incomparable wise one who speaks with reason, born in the village of Yoru Drakto in the central region of Tibet. Om Svasti! Like a loving mother to limitless beings, like an intimate friend to the unacquainted, the sole protector of the three realms, possessing the glory of immeasurable wisdom, love, and power, I prostrate to the incomparable teacher, Shakya Simha. From his scriptures flows the ocean of nectar, the first turning of the wheel explains what to adopt and abandon in samsara and nirvana, the intermediate turning explains the nature of reality, free from elaboration, and the final turning explains the vast manifestation of self-luminous nature. Among these, the sutras of the definitive meaning of the final turning of the wheel, such as the Sutra of Profound Thought, the Tathagatagarbha Sutra, the Garland of Glory Sutra, the Lion's Roar Sutra, the Sutra of No Increase or Decrease, the Great Drum Sutra, the Sutra of the Ornament of Wisdom Illumination, the Angulimala Sutra, the Ratnakuta Sutra, the Nirvana Sutra, the Avatamsaka Sutra, and so forth, are taught. Following the chariot of the profound view, Nagarjuna, in order to show that the final turning of the wheel of the definitive meaning of the Great Vehicle and that sentient beings possess the Tathagatagarbha, in the great treatises such as the Praise of the Dharmadhatu of the Middle Way, with butter in milk, a lamp in a vase, and beryl in a stone,

我是金石,谷壳中的谷物和水树的六种果实,将基、道、果二者结合起来宣说。追随广行派的车轨无著,依靠胜者慈氏的口诀,宣说如来藏存在于一切有情之中的道理,在《大乘经庄严论》中,如莲花中的佛陀、蜂蜜中的蜂王浆,谷壳中的精华、污泥中的黄金,地下之宝、树皮中的树木,腐烂的衣服中包裹的珍贵身像,恶妇腹中的人主,泥土中的美妙金像等九喻,考虑到趣入道之有情,以贪嗔痴三毒平等,最初以四种比喻来阐述,以无明习气对声闻缘觉阿罗汉,第五个比喻来阐述,以及菩萨的生起圣者之相续,见道修道所断,第六和第七地,七地三地,第八和第九以比喻阐述。在群山环绕的国土中,诸佛身语意的化现,前弘三祖和堪布论师法王三尊,以恩德将正法如阳光般普及。因此,新旧各派的藏地智者们,从具有六种殊胜特点的旧译派,弘扬教法和实修的伟大传统中,各自阐释了玛旁雍措寺的深奥含义。在此,对于诸佛甚深如海的教言,具有无与伦比的闻持、智慧的导师,所著的《大乘经庄严论》的,是阐明真实意义的珍宝明灯。此释是嘉瓦根钦龙钦巴,从久远以来在历史的镜子上所著的方式。虽然智者们的声音一致,但环绕着雪域美人的大地之巅。在超过六百多年的时间里,那些被忽视、被掩盖、沉睡的甚深宝藏,在后世,由堪布论师法王三尊和全知法王的发心下,从富饶的美国,由莲花生大士的慈悲所滋养的,具德智者再次发掘出来。此外,嘉瓦龙钦饶绛也被称为智慧无等。在《大圆满妥噶根本续》中也说,之后由智慧殊胜者所掌握。结尾

I am the gold stone, the grain in the husk, and the six fruits of the water tree, combining the base, path, and fruit to declare. Following the chariot of the vast conduct school, Asanga, relying on the oral instructions of the victorious Maitreya, declaring the way that the Tathagatagarbha exists in all sentient beings, in the 'Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra,' like the Buddha in the lotus, the royal jelly of the honey in the honeycomb, the essence in the husk, the gold in the mud, the treasure under the ground, the tree in the bark, the precious body concealed in the rotten clothes, the lord of men in the belly of the evil woman, the beautiful golden image in the mud, etc., nine metaphors, considering the sentient beings who have entered the path, with the equal parts of the three poisons of greed, aversion, and ignorance, initially using four metaphors to explain, using the ignorance habitual patterns for the Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Arhats, the fifth metaphor to explain, and the Bodhisattva's arising noble lineage, the objects to be abandoned in the path of seeing and the path of meditation, the sixth and seventh grounds, the seven grounds and three grounds, the eighth and ninth are explained with metaphors. In the land surrounded by mountain ranges, the manifestations of the body, speech, and mind of all the Buddhas, the three ancestors of the early transmission and the abbot, teacher, and Dharma king, through their kindness, spread the sacred Dharma like sunlight on the plain. Therefore, the wise men of Tibet, both new and old, from the great tradition of teaching and practice of the Ancient Translation School with six special characteristics, each explained the profound meaning of the Mapham Gon. Here, for the profound ocean of the teachings of all the Buddhas, the unparalleled captain with retention, confidence, and wisdom, the 'Mahayana Uttaratantra Shastra' taken, is the precious lamp that clarifies the definitive meaning. This commentary is how Gyalwang Kunkhyen Longchenpa composed it from a long time ago on the mirror of history. Although the voices of the wise are united, around the snowy land's beautiful earth-holding peak. For more than six hundred years, those neglected, covered up, sleeping profound treasures, in this later age, through the aspiration of the abbot, teacher, and Dharma king and the all-knowing Dharma king, from the prosperous United States of America, nourished by the compassion of Buddha Padmasambhava, the glorious wisdom once again brought forth. Furthermore, Gyalwang Longchen Rabjam is also known by the name Wisdom Unequaled. In the 'Dzogchen Thallgyur Root Tantra' it is also said, thereafter held by the supreme of wisdom. End

纳岭掘藏大师坚美多吉也,在全知大师的名号赞颂中也,因以“智慧无等”来赞颂,以及至高无上与无等在声音和意义上相同之故。而且,根据藏地老学者的口头传统,据说慈氏五论中,《现观庄严论》的概要、《般若经》的要义,以及《宝性论》的注释《宝灯论》和《宝阶论》等存在。总之,这部注释的诞生地、寺庙,言语的风格、所诠释的观点,以及导师的名号等,通过正确的论证,可以确信是全知大师所著,没有欺骗性。此外,全知大师所著的《入中论》和《释量论》的注释,在康区一个破旧的房子里。后来虽然见到了,但却无法得到,博鲁堪布多吉对我这样说。诸如此类,藏地开创佛教传统的,前译派的智者和成就者们的所有善说,后来宁玛派的持教者们,未能继承父辈的法脉的情况非常多。藏地和其他地方的新派人士,大多执着于自己的宗派,对前译派的教法和持教者怒目而视,总是忙于诽谤和喧嚣。舍弃这些深奥广大的论典,反而认为少数的诀窍更为重要。那些自诩为宁玛派持教者的人,偷偷地念诵着,忙于将前译派的伟大秘密埋没。因此,为了那些渴望解脱的聪明人,不要满足于片面的闻思,而要依靠完整无垢的光明藏的经典,去寻求深刻的意义。如是,第二世嘉瓦·索南嘉措的,具有调伏和救护二种功德的论著如意宝,需要用两种可靠的认识来印证。愿一切众生迅速获得佛陀的二身!愿世间所有教法的精髓,显密结合的藏地佛教,通过讲修结合的僧团,充满整个广阔的大地。如是,在西半球的遥远彼岸,大城市纽约,持有说法者堪布名号的康区人,希曼达·普拉嘉(Śrīmanta Prajñā)所写,善妙吉祥增长!吉祥!吉祥!吉祥!愿一切吉祥!

Also, Ngaling Tertön Gyurme Dorje, in the praise of the name of the Omniscient Great One, praised him with "wisdom unequaled," and because "supreme" and "unequaled" are the same in sound and meaning. Moreover, according to the oral tradition of old scholars in Tibet, it is said that among the Five Treatises of Maitreya, there exist the summary of the Ornament for Clear Realization, the essence of the Prajñāpāramitā Sutra, and the commentaries on the Uttaratantra, the Jewel Lamp and the Jewel Staircase, etc. In short, regarding this commentary's birthplace, monastery, style of speech, the intended meaning of the subject matter, and the name of the teacher, through correct reasoning, it can be believed that it was composed by the Omniscient Great One, without deception. Furthermore, the Omniscient Great One's commentaries on the Madhyamakāvatāra and the Pramāṇavārttika, were in a dilapidated house in Kongpo. Later, although they were seen, they could not be obtained, so said Khenpo Dorje of Polu to me. Like that, the excellent explanations of the wise and accomplished ones of the early translation school, who established the Buddhist tradition in Tibet, were mostly not inherited by the Nyingma holders of the doctrine later on. Most of the new school people in Tibet and elsewhere, clinging to their own side, glare with hatred at the early translation school's teachings and its holders, and are always busy slandering and making noise. Abandoning these profound and vast treatises, they consider the few instructions to be more important. Those who boast of being Nyingma holders, secretly reciting, are busy burying the great secrets of the early translation school. Therefore, for those intelligent ones who desire liberation, do not be satisfied with one-sided study and contemplation, but rely on the complete and stainless teachings of the Light of Wisdom, and seek the profound meaning. Thus, the second Gyalwang Sonam Gyatso's, treatise, the wish-fulfilling jewel, possessing both taming and protecting qualities, needs to be sealed with two reliable recognitions. May all beings quickly attain the two bodies of the Buddha! May the essence of all the teachings in the world, the combined Sutra and Tantra of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, through the two communities of monks practicing both teaching and accomplishment, fill the entire vast earth. Thus, on the distant shore of the Western Ocean, in the great city of New York, written by Śrīmanta Prajñā, a Kham person holding the name of a Dharma speaker Khenpo, may virtue and auspiciousness increase! Auspicious! Auspicious! Auspicious! May all be auspicious!

以偈颂形式的阿那律,以诗歌格律的黄金线串联,善于将它作为有智慧美人的装饰品来传播,向无与伦比的智慧者足下顶礼!这是敏林掘藏大师不变金刚所说。

The Anala in verse form, strung on a golden thread of poetic meter, skillfully spreading it as an ornament for the wise and beautiful, I prostrate at the feet of the incomparable wisdom! This was spoken by Minling Terchen Gyurme Dorje.
