English

Although Padmasambhava works for the benefit of beings until samsara is empty, he is free from the faults of the two extremes. The precious throne, like a wish-fulfilling jewel, has no realization, yet it fulfills needs. This is a sign that the self-arisen wisdom has no biased thoughts, yet it fulfills needs with the seven noble riches. Those seats are mainly five, such as the precious throne, sentient beings, lotus, moon, and sun. That is a four-spoked wheel, with the center as the fifth. The bodhisattva's position has four corners and four angles, totaling eight. On each small precious throne, there are triple-layered lotus and sun. In Lhanam, in the first two, east and west, there are seats of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri, each with triple-layered lotus, moon, and sun. In the four intermediate directions, southwest two and six, there are seats of the six Thubpas, each with a single lotus. At the four doors, on each sun seat of the four doorkeepers, there is a corpse, the essence of the four maras. The mandala of the deities, here too, is combined with Abhisamaya. Among them, there are many different opinions, such as the opinion of the "Precious Small Net" composed by Master Sangye Gsangwa, the opinion of Nyak Jñana Kumara, the opinion of the "Sadhana Like a Mirror" composed by Shintam Garbha, and the opinion of dispelling the net of conceptualization in the "Later Tantra." However, here, it is only the opinion of Master Padmasambhava. The root letter A (藏文:ཨ,梵文天城体:अ,梵文罗马拟音:a,汉语字面意思:A) in white resides in the sky inside the palace. From that, a blue Aksha (藏文:ཨཀྵ,梵文天城体:अक्ष,梵文罗马拟音:aksha,汉语字面意思:Aksha) emanates, corresponding to the previously learned letters. From the interdependent relationship of these two residing in the sky, the letters arise, just as fire arises from the interdependent relationship of tinder and stone. From the interdependent relationship of the two letters, method and wisdom, a collection of letters arises. Due to the cause and condition of the two Akshas, the two straight and inverted Ta (藏文:ཏ,梵文天城体:त,梵文罗马拟音:ta,汉语字面意思:Ta) arise and reside on the central seat. The two straight and inverted Ta (藏文:ཏ,梵文天城体:त,梵文罗马拟音:ta,汉语字面意思:Ta) are in the east. The two straight and inverted Da (藏文:ད,梵文天城体:द,梵文罗马拟音:da,汉语字面意思:Da) are in the south. The two straight and inverted Dha (藏文:དྷ,梵文天城体:ध,梵文罗马拟音:dha,汉语字面意思:Dha) are in the west. The two straight and inverted Na (藏文:ན,梵文天城体:न,梵文罗马拟音:na,汉语字面意思:Na) are in the north. Among them, the inverted ones are the father's part, so they reside on the right. Ka (藏文:ཀ,梵文天城体:क,梵文罗马拟音:ka,汉语字面意思:Ka) and Tsa (藏文:ཙ,梵文天城体:च,梵文罗马拟音:ca,汉语字面意思:Tsa) are in the eastern corner. Kha (藏文:ཁ,梵文天城体:ख,梵文罗马拟音:kha,汉语字面意思:Kha) and Tsha (藏文:ཚ,梵文天城体:छ,梵文罗马拟音:cha,汉语字面意思:Tsha) are in the southern corner. Ga (藏文:ག,梵文天城体:ग,梵文罗马拟音:ga,汉语字面意思:Ga) and Dza (藏文:ཛ,梵文天城体:ज,梵文罗马拟音:ja,汉语字面意思:Dza) are in the western corner. Gha (藏文:གྷ,梵文天城体:घ,梵文罗马拟音:gha,汉语字面意思:Gha) and Dzha (藏文:ཛྷ,梵文天城体:झ,梵文罗马拟音:jha,汉语字面意思:Dzha) are in the northern corner. Nga (藏文:ང,梵文天城体:ङ,梵文罗马拟音:nga,汉语字面意思:Nga) is on the seat of the eastern doorkeeper. Nya (藏文:ཉ,梵文天城体:ञ,梵文罗马拟音:nya,汉语字面意思:Nya) is on the seat of the southern doorkeeper. Pa (藏文:པ,梵文天城体:प,梵文罗马拟音:pa,汉语字面意思:Pa) and Ya (藏文:ཡ,梵文天城体:य,梵文罗马拟音:ya,汉语字面意思:Ya) are in the southeast corner. Pha (藏文:ཕ,梵文天城体:फ,梵文罗马拟音:pha,汉语字面意思:Pha) and Wa (藏文:ཝ,梵文天城体:व,梵文罗马拟音:va,汉语字面意思:Wa) are in the southwest corner.

From dissolving into light, it becomes the cause for forty-two hand implements. Because it is easy to understand, it is not counted. The explainer should understand and elaborate on it. Light radiates from the hand implements, purifying the mental obscurations of sentient beings. Activates the lineage of the noble ones' minds.

因为不从地上移动,所以显示像莲花一样不被两种边际的过失所染污。所谓“菩萨的姿势”,意思是降临的姿势,即右脚向下伸到座上,左脚跏趺不动,因为度化众生的事业没有完成,所以像是将要起身利益众生一样。而且,右脚表示方便不间断,无论如何度化众生,左脚是不动摇于法界的象征。佛母们是智慧,她们安住不动摇于法界的象征。以月的力量来显示诸神的安住方式,因为续部的自性是隐藏的,所以虽然不明显,但从所有的解释续部中显示,六能仁是为六道众生永久地来回行动的象征,所以安住在莲花座上。八忿怒尊父母是为了降伏内外一切敌人的象征,所以以伸展和弯曲的姿势安住。脸也像是向外看。普贤父母只是以平等的跏趺坐姿安住,也有解释说普贤佛母是莲花跏趺坐。显示了安住的方式后,显示安住的处所,即“轮王轮母等”,等等。四辐轮的中央和五个,国王五父,王母五母无分别地安住,这里因为坛城具有五身圆满的力量,所以五者是报身,只是将意念安住在禅定中。从右边开始,见闻嗅等,等等,显示了菩萨们的安住处所。然后,按照阿阇黎无垢友的传统,认为内在的四菩萨从主尊的右边东南角开始,安住在四个角上。阿阇黎莲花的传统认为,从东边的隆起处开始,右旋安住在四个隆起处。因此,东边的隆起处是见,眼识清净为处所的地藏菩萨。下面说与妃女眷属一起,眼识的对境,色清净为处所的女神拉西亚玛是地藏菩萨的妃女。南边的隆起处是嗅,鼻识清净为处所的菩萨虚空藏。对境香清净为处所的女神玛列玛。西边的隆起处

Because it does not move from the ground, it shows that it is like a lotus, unstained by the faults of the two extremes. The so-called "Bodhisattva posture" means the posture of descending, that is, the right foot extends down to the seat, and the left foot is in a lotus position without moving. Because the work of benefiting sentient beings is not completed, it is as if one is about to rise to benefit sentient beings. Moreover, the right foot indicates that the means are uninterrupted, and no matter how one benefits sentient beings, the left foot is a symbol of not moving from the realm of Dharma. The mothers are wisdom, and they abide as a symbol of not moving from the realm of Dharma. Showing the way all the deities abide by the power of the moon, because the nature of the tantra is hidden, although it is not obvious, it is shown from all the explanatory tantras that the six Thubpas are a symbol of permanently moving back and forth for the sake of the six realms of sentient beings, so they abide on the lotus seat. The eight wrathful deities, father and mother, are a symbol of subduing all internal and external enemies, so they abide in a stretched and bent posture. The faces also seem to be looking outward. Samantabhadra, father and mother, only abide in an equal lotus position, and it is also explained that Samantabhadri is in a lotus position. After showing the way of abiding, the place of abiding is shown, that is, "Wheel King, Wheel Mother, etc.", and so on. In the center of the four-spoked wheel and the five, the five father kings and the five mother queens abide without distinction. Here, because the mandala has the power of the five bodies complete, the five are the Sambhogakaya, and they only place their minds in meditation. Starting from the right, seeing, hearing, smelling, etc., shows the places where the Bodhisattvas abide. Then, according to the tradition of Acharya Vimalamitra, it is believed that the inner four Bodhisattvas, starting from the southeast corner to the right of the main deity, abide in the four corners. The tradition of Acharya Padma believes that starting from the bulge in the east, they abide in the four bulges in a clockwise direction. Therefore, the bulge in the east is seeing, the Earth Treasury Bodhisattva, where the eye consciousness is purified. Below it says with the retinue of consorts, the goddess Lasya, where the object of eye consciousness, form, is purified, is the consort of the Earth Treasury Bodhisattva. The bulge in the south is smelling, the Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, where the nose consciousness is purified. The goddess Malya, where the object, smell, is purified. The bulge in the west
