With armor and spear, delighting in battling the Asuras, thereby attracting their minds. The human hero holds a book and rosary, being the actual Bhagavan. The preta hero holds a jewel box, satisfying the pretas by fulfilling their needs. The animal hero holds a scripture, dispelling the darkness of ignorance of the animals through Dharma. The hell being hero holds both fire and water, cooling the hot hells with water and warming the cold hells with fire. The gatekeepers are: Also, from the Extensive Sutra: "Nri head raised and vajra suppressed." and so on. Yama Dharmaraja raises a skull staff with his right hand. The mighty one holds the staff's head marked with a vajra. Hayagriva holds a fresh skull staff with a snake coiled around the handle. Nectar swirl holds a crossed staff. The four left hands hold skull blood, adorned with glorious ornaments. The four consorts are: Hook, lasso, Sphota, Hum.

那些勇士们,按照莲花生大师的传统,除了门守护者父母之外,东方和东南是白色,南方和西南是黄色,西方和西北是红色,北方和东北是绿色。关于“多种”这个词,依据解释续部的观点,认为勇士们的身体颜色会变化,据说也是门守护者的身体颜色。依据中部的观点,“多种”是指:东南方的勇士是白黄色,西南方的勇士是红黄色,西北方的勇士是绿黄色,东北方的勇士是白黄色。明妃们是父尊的真实颜色。天道的能仁是白色,非天道的能仁是蓝色,人道的能仁是黄色,饿鬼道的能仁是蓝色,旁生道的能仁是黄黑色,地狱道的能仁是深蓝色。门守护者无论按照哪种方式都一样:东方是深蓝色,南方是黄黑色,西方是红黑色,北方是绿黑色。黑色的部分是从智慧的自性中,由于所化众生的力量,而显现为只能进行猛烈事业的形象。在《吉祥 गर्भ》的简略注释中说:“普贤王如来是虚空色。”因此,父尊普贤王如来是蓝色,作为智慧的自性也不会改变的象征;普贤王如来母是白色,象征着在法界中没有任何沾染。普贤王如来父母,安置了所有坛城中的本尊后,其他续部中是坛城的主尊,但在这里安住在坛城的边缘,这不矛盾吗?不矛盾,因为在这里,在凡夫的时期,心的明晰和不间断本身就是所有轮回之法的作者。心的对境,有为法和无为法,无有分别的自性,阿赖耶识本身,在任何地方都没有成立,显现为任何事物都不间断,从那里产生了能取和所取的对立,像迷惑者一样显现出任何迷惑,显现为三界的法,那是因为安住于本来的清净,心清净为自生智慧。心清净了,就完全不执着于错乱,所以阿赖耶识安住于本来的清净,就像镜子擦拭干净后,光明达到极致一样。阿赖耶识清净后,真实的阿赖耶显现,法界和智慧无有分别,是果,是法身。普贤王如来父母

Those heroes also, according to the tradition of Guru Padmasambhava, except for the gatekeeper parents, the east and southeast are white, the south and southwest are yellow, the west and northwest are red, and the north and northeast are green. Regarding the word "various," according to the view of the explanatory tantras, it is believed that the body colors of the heroes change, and it is said that it is also the body color of the gatekeepers. According to the central view, "various" means: the hero of the southeast is white-yellow, the hero of the southwest is red-yellow, the hero of the northwest is green-yellow, and the hero of the northeast is white-yellow. The consorts are the actual colors of the fathers. The Thubpa of the gods is white, the Thubpa of the asuras is blue, the Thubpa of humans is yellow, the Thubpa of the pretas is blue, the Thubpa of animals is yellow-black, and the Thubpa of hell beings is dark blue. The gatekeepers are the same regardless of the system: the east is dark blue, the south is yellow-black, the west is red-black, and the north is green-black. The black part is from the nature of wisdom, due to the power of those to be tamed, it appears as only performing fierce actions. In the condensed commentary of Shrintamgarbha, it says, "Samantabhadra is the color of the sky." Therefore, the father Samantabhadra is blue, as a symbol that even the wisdom of awareness does not change; Samantabhadri is white, symbolizing that there is no defilement whatsoever in the Dharmadhatu. Samantabhadra father and mother, after arranging all the deities of the mandala, in other tantras they are the main deities of the mandala, but here they reside on the edge of the mandala, is this not contradictory? It is not contradictory, because here, in the time of ordinary beings, the clarity and non-cessation of the mind itself is the agent of all samsaric phenomena. The objects of the mind, conditioned and unconditioned phenomena, the nature without distinction, the alaya-vijnana itself, which is not established anywhere, appears without ceasing in any way, from there arises the opposition of grasper and grasped, like a deluder appearing in any delusion, appearing as the phenomena of the three realms, that is because of abiding in the original purity, the mind is purified into self-arisen wisdom. When the mind is purified, there is no clinging to delusion at all, so the alaya-vijnana abides in the original purity, just as a mirror is completely clear when it is cleaned. When the alaya-vijnana is purified, the true alaya of meaning manifests, the Dharmadhatu and wisdom are without distinction, it is the result, the Dharmakaya. Samantabhadra father and mother

之所以称之为法身,原因也在此。虽然法身没有分别,但作为智慧不灭的象征,是普贤。法界不灭的能量是普贤佛母。如同这两位神祇在虚空中显现一般,普贤王如来安住于东方,普贤佛母安住于西方。示现身相的方式是:柔软灵活缠绵,姿态年轻;明亮闪耀丰满,光辉炽盛。所谓柔软,指的是手指等。灵活,指的是手脚灵活,可以随意变化。或者说,灵活指的是身体的腰部,如同拉满的弓一样。据说,自身身体的四指宽度的一半,无论如何都可以随意变化。缠绵,指的是方便与智慧不分离,是无二无别的自性。摇曳也是指腰部,具备上述的特征,对于任何应调伏的众生,都像是只朝向那个方向一样。姿态年轻,指的是如同十六岁少女般肉体丰满。明亮,指的是各种颜色没有被其他过失所染污,各自都清晰明了。例如,如同阳光照耀在雪山上一般。闪耀,指的是各种颜色各自没有被过失所染污且清晰明了,在那清晰明了的光芒照耀下,眼睛无法直视。如同阳光照耀在雪山上,或者直视太阳一般。丰满美好,指的是因为一切功德圆满,所以无论哪个应调伏的众生都会心生欢喜,永远不会厌倦。光辉巨大,指的是因为一切功德圆满究竟,所以能够压服并摄受应调伏的众生。像这样,将这些身相的特征与意义相结合,肢体柔软代表断除嫉妒。肢体灵活代表断除我慢。缠绵代表断除贪欲。姿态年轻代表断除愚痴。摇曳代表断除嗔恨。明亮代表智慧的本体远离边际。闪耀代表那远离边际的智慧不是执着者的心识所能及的。丰满美好代表自生智慧,在没有舍弃一切偏执的情况下,自然清净,于平等性中,吸引一切应调伏的众生。光辉巨大代表于自生智慧的境界中,不执著轮涅的一切法,以灭尽的特征的力量

The reason for being called Dharmakaya is also this. Although Dharmakaya has no distinctions, as a symbol of the non-cessation of wisdom, it is Samantabhadra. The non-ceasing energy of the Dharmadhatu is Samantabhadri. Like these two deities appearing in the sky, Samantabhadra abides in the east, and Samantabhadri abides in the west. The way of showing the form is: soft, flexible, and entwined, with a youthful appearance; bright, shining, full, and blazing with glory. Softness refers to the fingers, etc. Flexibility refers to the flexibility of the hands and feet, which can be transformed at will. Alternatively, flexibility refers to the waist of the body, like a fully drawn bow. It is said that half the width of one's own body's four fingers can be transformed at will. Entwined refers to the inseparability of skillful means and wisdom, the nature of non-duality. Swaying also refers to the waist, possessing the above-mentioned characteristics, as if only directed towards any being to be tamed. Youthful appearance refers to the fullness of flesh like a sixteen-year-old girl. Brightness refers to the fact that the various colors are not contaminated by other faults and are clear in themselves. For example, like the sun shining on a snowy mountain. Shining refers to the fact that the various colors are not contaminated by faults and are clear, and the eyes cannot look directly at the light that shines clearly in each. Like the sun shining on a snowy mountain, or looking at the sun. Full and beautiful refers to the fact that because all qualities are complete, any being to be tamed will be pleased and never tire of it. Great glory refers to the fact that because all qualities are complete and ultimate, it can subdue and captivate beings to be tamed. In this way, combining these characteristics of the body with meaning, soft limbs represent the purification of jealousy. Flexible limbs represent the purification of pride. Entwined represents the purification of desire. Youthful appearance represents the purification of ignorance. Swaying represents the purification of hatred. Brightness represents the essence of wisdom being free from extremes. Shining represents that the wisdom free from extremes is not the object of the mind of those who are attached. Full and beautiful represents self-born wisdom, which is naturally pure without abandoning all biases, and attracts all beings to be tamed in the state of equality. Great glory represents that in the state of self-born wisdom, all phenomena of samsara and nirvana are not fixated upon, and with the power of the characteristic of annihilation

能调伏一切所调伏,并转变其方向。 “光芒四射的大会”是指,光芒有六十六俱胝。所谓“四射”,是指,从因的乘来说,是从眉间、面容、心间和确定的处所四射。但在果的场合,则超越了这些,据说每个毛孔都发出六十六俱胝的光芒。六是指白色等六种颜色。十是指散发光芒的十方。数量是俱胝也翻倍了,所以是无数的。 “以燃烧的火焰环绕”是指,忿怒尊的身上燃烧的火焰山,左右四射,连接四方。也遍布并环绕坛城的所有内部。只显现火焰的自性五股金刚杵,并且全部连接。火是自生智慧,自生智慧显现为五种智慧的标志是五股金刚杵。这在所调伏者的面前显现为五种智慧,实际上坛城的轮涅不离自生智慧的标志。在外部,轮回的火焰山混合,是无法阻断的标志。 “无边无际地遍布”是指,自性本身在基础的场合,四十二种觉悟与法界平等,因此在无边无际的觉悟达到究竟的境界中。四十二位佛的坛城与法界平等,因此无边无际的自性任运成就达到究竟的果的自性。由于所调伏者的因缘而转变,坛城的轮涅内外欲望各异,以及显现共同的色身等不可思议的化身。 因此,瑜伽士以上等根器,随顺那自性任运成就的本性,修习殊胜的等持坛城,也观想无边无际的法界显现为四十二坛城的自性,以众多化身的散聚来利益众生。这就是“坛城不可思议任运成就”的含义。或者说,从那样修习的境界中,瑜伽士的明智之力

It can subdue all that is to be subdued and change its direction. "The great assembly of radiating light" means that the rays of light are sixty-six kotis. "Radiating" means that, from the perspective of the vehicle of cause, it is said to radiate from the space between the eyebrows, the face, the heart, and the definite places. But in the case of the fruit, it transcends these, and it is said that sixty-six kotis of rays of light emanate from each pore. Six refers to the six colors, such as white. Ten refers to the ten directions from which light emanates. The number is kotis multiplied, so it is countless. "Surrounded by a burning flame" means that the mountain of fire burning on the body of the wrathful deities radiates left and right, connecting the four directions. It also pervades and surrounds all the interior of the mandala. Only the five-pronged vajra of the nature of fire appears, and all of them are connected. Fire is self-born wisdom, and the sign that self-born wisdom appears as five wisdoms is the five-pronged vajra. This appears as five wisdoms in front of the one to be subdued, and in reality, the wheel of the mandala, samsara and nirvana, is the sign that it does not move from the state of self-born wisdom. On the outside, the mountains of fire of samsara are mixed, which is a sign that it cannot be blocked. "Pervading without limit" means that in the basic state of self-nature, the forty-two kinds of realization are equal to the Dharmadhatu, so in the state of infinite realization reaching the ultimate state. The mandala of the forty-two Buddhas is equal to the Dharmadhatu, so the infinite self-nature spontaneously accomplished reaches the ultimate nature of the fruit. Due to the conditions of the one to be subdued, the wheel of the mandala, the inner and outer desires are different, and the inconceivable manifestations such as the common form body appear. Therefore, the yogi with superior faculties, following the very nature of spontaneous accomplishment, also contemplates the mandala of transcendent samadhi, and also visualizes the infinite Dharmadhatu as the very nature of the forty-two mandalas, and aspires and meditates to benefit beings with the gathering and scattering of many manifestations. This is the meaning of "the mandala is inconceivable and spontaneously accomplished." Or, from the state of such meditation, the yogi's power of intelligence
