KMG052 0002.A commentary on the tantra called The Supreme Bliss of Illusion, the Dakini United with All Buddhas..g2.0f

English

Having spread all the realms of the world like sesame seeds, releasing the commands of the Buddhas. For those who are extremely wicked and cruel, peace is of no benefit; with the essence of wisdom and skillful means, all the Tathagatas manifest as wrathful ones. Thus proclaiming, intending to subdue with fierce methods. Recite BHRŪṂ (Tibetan, भृं, bhrūṃ, seed syllable). From the dark brown BHRŪṂ (Tibetan, भृं, bhrūṃ, seed syllable), rays of light radiate and converge, blessing all Buddha-fields into palaces of burning charnel grounds. Then, in order to generate the blazing form, then at the tip of the nose, the mind is held firmly and correctly. From the warm breath of the nose, the Victorious Ones extract the union of mudras. The Bhagavan yogi himself, having transformed into Vajra Wrathful One, appears. With the garland of skulls mudra placed at the brow, recite OṂ ŚRĪ HERUKA VAJRA SAMAYA HI SARVA DUṢṬA SAMAYA MUDRĀ PRABHAÑJAKA HŪṂ PHAṬ (Tibetan, 嗡 希日 嘿噜嘎 瓦吉ra 萨玛雅 嘿 萨日瓦 杜斯达 萨玛雅 穆札 札班札嘎 吽 帕特,oṃ śrī heruka vajra samaya hi sarva duṣṭa samaya mudrā prabhañjaka hūṃ phaṭ, Om, glorious Heruka Vajra, oath, this, all evil oath, seal, destroyer, Hum, Phat). By reciting this, from the nostril of glorious Vajrasattva, glorious Heruka arises, therefore, one should transform glorious Vajrasattva himself into Heruka. Then, the ritual of blessing, can be done here as before. Or, one can mainly focus on the activity. For this, one should invoke the mandala of dakinis. That is, blessing the consort Smashaani Yum KroDhiishaari, and from playing with her, generating the mandala of dakinis. Or, one can generate it simply by reciting the essence of each from the rays of light of the main deity's body. Some previous teachers said that each essence should be recited four times, this is for urging, generating, perfecting, and completing. Having generated the deity in this way, the offering ritual is also explained through the ten branches. In the presence of the master Humkara, from the glorious Yangdak Accomplishment, it is said thus: Inviting the wisdom mandala, abiding, stabilizing, unmoving, subduing the samaya, prostrating, offering, praising, enjoying, with skillful wisdom according to the lineage, perform all the activities accordingly. As it is said, first request, then invite, then settle and merge the wisdom mandala into the samaya mandala, then stabilize those who are abiding.

然后,使稳固者不摇动并加以控制。然后,激发誓言。然后,以威力压制恶毒者。然后,顶礼。然后,供养。然后,施力。然后,食用。如是,以彼等支分成就猛烈的事业。若归纳之,则有四种,即:迎请、顶礼、供养和成办事业。其中,首先降下垂听。然后,迎请是铁钩之义,钩召是羂索之义,稳固是不动之义,不摇动是铃之义。如是,是与四手印相应的誓言激发之义。威力压制是事业激发之义。因此,一切皆是迎请仪轨的支分而已。顶礼和供养,已如实陈述。施与和食用是调伏恶毒者之事业成就的特征。简而言之,迎请和顶礼也是供养的仪轨,仅是供养炽燃之坛城后成办事业而已。其中,从祈请垂听至顶礼之间,应如其他供养文中所明示般行持。于供养之时,应如从前之口诀方式所出般,尽力而为。施与和食用也如其他仪轨般行持。坛城收摄等共同支分,也应与共同仪轨相符。吉祥黑汝嘎坛城之修法仪轨圆满。现在宣说吉祥莲花舞自在等坛城之修法仪轨。为此:此外,极瑜伽士,为完全清净一切莲花故,贤善殊胜不变者,莲花幻化自在者。如是宣说了于各部之坛城中修持。其中,此等坛城之仪轨,也如前于吉祥金刚萨埵坛城中广说共同仪轨,以及于吉祥毗卢遮那和黑汝嘎坛城中宣说差别仪轨般,于其他部类也应如是,将各自部类之手印,从续部中所分别宣说者,如是结合而了知。其中,若有不识各部手印者,于下文手印各自所应之时,是何部之手印等

Then, make the steadfast ones unmoving and control them. Then, stimulate the samaya. Then, subdue the wicked with power. Then, prostrate. Then, offer. Then, exert strength. Then, consume. Thus, with these limbs, accomplish fierce activities. If summarized, there are four aspects: inviting, prostrating, offering, and accomplishing the task. Among these, first, descend the hearing. Then, inviting is the meaning of the iron hook, hooking is the meaning of the noose, steadfastness is the meaning of the iron chain, immovability is the meaning of the bell. Thus, it is the meaning of stimulating the samaya endowed with the four mudras. Subduing with power is the meaning of stimulating the activity. Therefore, all are merely limbs of the ritual of inviting. Prostration and offering are explicitly mentioned. Giving and consuming are the characteristics of accomplishing the activity of subduing the wicked. In short, inviting and prostrating are also rituals of offering, merely accomplishing the activity after offering the blazing mandala. Among these, from requesting to listen to the prostration, one should act as it is clearly stated in other offering texts. At the time of offering, one should do as much as possible, as it comes from the previous instructions. Giving and consuming should also be done as in other rituals. The common limbs such as the dissolution of the mandala should also be in accordance with the common rituals. The ritual of accomplishment in the glorious Heruka mandala is complete. Now, the ritual of accomplishment in the glorious Padma Garwang and other mandalas will be explained. Therefore: Furthermore, the exceedingly yogic one, for the sake of completely purifying all lotuses, the virtuous, excellent, and unchanging one, became the lord of the lotus illusion. Thus, it is said that accomplishment is performed in the mandalas of each family. Among these, the rituals of these mandalas are also like the general rituals extensively taught above in the mandala of the glorious Vajrasattva, and the specific rituals taught in the mandalas of the glorious Vairochana and Heruka. Similarly, for other families, one should understand by applying the mudras of each family as they are separately taught in the tantras. Among these, if there are those who do not recognize which mudra belongs to which family, then later, when the time comes for each mudra, which family's mudra it is, etc.
