If one possesses unwavering faith, then "the empowerment of benefit" means bestowing the ten empowerments. Benefit refers to the benefit in this life, which is the purification of all faults of contaminated aggregates, thereby pacifying all obstacles and being revered by all non-humans. The benefit in future lives is being free from the fear of the lower realms and attaining the state of gods and humans in the higher realms. Diligence has five aspects: possessing the diligence of listening to the lineage, having great wisdom, having great diligence, abandoning worldly activities that are not related to listening. If one possesses these, then the empowerment of listening is bestowed. On top of that, the diligence of practice is: for the visualization and recitation of the Yidam, it is best to have a continuous yoga like a flowing river, intermediate is six sessions of yoga, and at the very least, one should be able to do four sessions of yoga. If one can do that, then because one possesses the diligence of practice, that empowerment is bestowed. On top of that, for the benefit of oneself and others, whichever of the four activities one performs, if the mandala and rituals are complete, the oral recitations are clear, and the samadhi is clear, then the empowerment of being able to perform activities without hindrance is bestowed. On top of that, being able to teach, that is, being skilled in the benefit of other beings, separately explaining the three aspects of view, conduct, and meditation through the three pitakas of sutra, vinaya, and abhidharma, and being able to open the wisdom of the disciples, then the empowerment of teaching is bestowed. Being proficient in all scriptures, realizing the view, having clear samadhi, guiding the wisdom of others through the meaning of practical application, and being able to bless the lineage with devotion and respect, and being able to perform the activities of the mandala, then the Vajra King empowerment is bestowed. These are the five empowerments of ability. "If one is good at understanding asceticism," refers to the three asceticisms. That is, the asceticism of conduct, if one grasps the key points of the mind through the meaning of view and meditation, then the clinging to objects will be purified, and even the subtle mind of acceptance and rejection will not arise when enjoying the five samaya substances, then they should be given in order. Therefore, the secret empowerment is bestowed. The asceticism of wisdom is, because the view and meditation have become powerful, if one can manifestly realize the suchness of all phenomena of samsara and nirvana through the bliss and emptiness that are inseparable from skillful means and wisdom, then the great bliss empowerment should be given. The asceticism of equality is, if there is not even a subtle clinging to partiality in the understanding of the equality of samsara and nirvana without distinction, then in order to make it manifest and obtain empowerment, the extremely stable empowerment is bestowed. Take it without wasting compassion. "Refers to Vajra

为了让导师对弟子慈爱且有意义,为了利益弟子而灌顶。如果对下等根器者灌顶高等的法,就像给驴子驮大象的重负一样,不但不能胜任反而会造成损害,因此要掌握弟子智慧的高低,依次进行灌顶。会供时,具备三类修行者修行的支分是:下面的五种仪轨已经圆满。等等。这里有酥油五种、三种、十五种两种。此处如果将初学者的五种、三种、十五种仪轨算作是:具备不虚伪的信心,恭敬上师而令其欢喜,领受誓言后不违犯,安住于坛城中而了知密咒的体性,获得灌顶后领受传承,精进于修习。五种资具已经圆满。指的是:与经论相符,令人满意,修行的助伴眷属等所有种类齐全,不离方便与智慧的明妃,金刚等所说的密咒器物,具备供品和生活资具。明妃算在助伴之中,所以是五种。五种密咒支分圆满。指的是:如是之自性的等持之法界,其影像日月莲花之坛城,其上之字,由此之手印,由此之本尊身,包括手印和明妃。或者算作是念诵:心间之日月坛城,其上之心手印,由此具有种子字,由此以法之手印围绕念诵的咒语,由此字散发光芒的等持,光芒放射和收摄的等持二者算作一个,所以是五种。会供时接近的十五种是:五种仪轨已经圆满。指的是:在修习大空性瑜伽的时候,称为智慧的行持,无论见到什么、做什么,一切都观为空性。在修习慈悲瑜伽的时候,对三界一切有情生起大慈悲心,安住于四无量心中。之后在以字调伏心的时候,一切法观为显空无别。

In order for the teacher to be loving and meaningful to the disciples, and to benefit the disciples, empowerments are given. If a high-level empowerment is given to someone of lower capacity, it is like loading an elephant's burden onto a donkey; not only will it not be able to handle it, but it will also cause harm. Therefore, one must grasp the level of the disciple's intelligence and give empowerments in sequence. When performing a Ganachakra, the three types of practitioners who possess the limbs of practice are: the following five rituals are already complete. And so on. Here there are two types of five, three, and fifteen offerings of ghee. Here, if we count the five, three, and fifteen rituals of a beginner as: possessing unwavering faith, pleasing the guru with respect, not violating the vows after receiving them, residing in the mandala and knowing the nature of the mantra, and striving in practice after receiving the empowerment and transmission. The five requisites are complete. This refers to: being in accordance with the scriptures and pleasing, having all the categories of practice companions and retinue complete, having the consort who is inseparable from skillful means and wisdom, the mantra instruments such as the vajra, and possessing offerings and the necessities of life. The consort is counted among the companions, so there are five. The five limbs of mantra are complete. This refers to: the sphere of samadhi of suchness, its image, the mandala of the sun, moon, and lotus, the letters on it, the hand gestures from it, and the deity's body with hand gestures and consort from it. Or, it can be counted as recitation: the mandala of the sun and moon in the heart, the heart hand gesture on it, having the seed syllable from it, the mantra of recitation surrounded by the Dharma hand gesture from it, and the samadhi of light radiating from the letters from it, the samadhi of radiating and withdrawing light, the two counted as one, so there are five. The fifteen things close to the Ganachakra are: the five rituals are already complete. This refers to: when practicing the yoga of great emptiness, it is called the practice of wisdom, and whatever is seen or done is all viewed as emptiness. When practicing the yoga of compassion, great compassion is generated for all sentient beings in the three realms, and one abides in the four immeasurables. Then, when training the mind with letters, all phenomena are viewed as inseparable from appearance and emptiness.

加持。然后,在修习手印时,将一切法加持为心智的体性。然后,在学习和修习诸佛身相庄严一致时,将一切显现加持为金刚萨埵的身相。精通这些就叫做圆满。所谓的“明咒支分”,明咒(梵文:mantra)的意思是:玛玛(藏文:མ་མ་,梵文天城体:मम,梵文罗马拟音:mama,汉语字面意思:我的),意思是心;札札亚(藏文:ཏྲ་ཏྲ་ཡ་,梵文天城体:त्रत्रय,梵文罗马拟音:tratrāya,汉语字面意思:保护),意思是救护。以救护心之义故为明咒。其义为以加持之义,从轮回或烦恼中救护,故称为明咒。其本身即是诸佛坛城之显现。于此,就意义而言,身体的支分,头部和四肢,如手印品开头所说的那样,安立五十尊佛身手印。头部为如来部父母十尊。右手为金刚部父母十尊。左手为宝生部父母十尊。右脚为事业部父母十尊。左脚为莲花部父母十尊,如是观修五十尊坛城,如上文“支分”所阐明。观想的支分,蕴等四十二种观想显现为四十二尊本尊,区分它们是方便的本尊。以及智慧的本尊,四十大智慧尊。身语意之本尊四十尊为三组。总计这些本尊,一百尊本尊圆满了五部。通过熟习支分本尊二万四千佛,而进入修持。在做成三层殿宇的内部,在坛城轮的凸起处,诸佛的处所中,瑜伽士父母安住在内有衬垫的座垫上。中间的殿宇是进行供养的乐师们往来的地方。外围是放置供品和用具的地方。五种用具是圆满具足的。所谓“圆满具足”,即饮食等为一,衣服饰品为二,歌舞乐词为三,乐器等为四,阿里的嘎那(梵文:āli-gana)为五,称为无不具足。如是说,以此来成办会供。以极大的精勤投入于不退转。所谓“不退转”,即五种仪轨圆满,五种用具齐全,五种明咒支分达到究竟。或者,见解和誓言二者达到标准。

Bless. Then, when training the mind on the hand seals, bless all dharmas as the essence of mind-intelligence. Then, when learning and training on the single adornment of the deity's body, bless all appearances as solely the body of Vajrasattva. Mastering these is called completion. The so-called "mantra limbs": Mantra (Sanskrit: mantra) means: mama (Tibetan: མ་མ་, Sanskrit Devanagari: मम, Sanskrit Roman transliteration: mama, literal Chinese meaning: mine), meaning mind; tratraya (Tibetan: ཏྲ་ཏྲ་ཡ་, Sanskrit Devanagari: त्रत्रय, Sanskrit Roman transliteration: tratrāya, literal Chinese meaning: protect), meaning to protect. Because of the meaning of protecting the mind, it is mantra. Its meaning is that by the meaning of blessing, it protects from samsara or afflictions, hence it is called mantra. That itself is the appearance of the mandala of the deities. Here, in terms of meaning, the limbs of the body, the head and the four limbs, as mentioned at the beginning of the chapter on hand seals, are arranged with fifty deity body hand seals. On the head are the ten Tathagata family parents. On the right hand are the ten Vajra family parents. On the left hand are the ten Ratna family parents. On the right foot are the ten Karma family parents. On the left foot are the ten Padma family parents, thus meditating on the mandala of fifty deities, as clarified above by the term "limbs." The limbs of conception, the forty-two conceptions such as the aggregates, appearing as forty-two deities, distinguishing them as the deities of means. And the deities of wisdom, the forty wisdom deities. The forty deities of body, speech, and mind are in three groups. Counting all these deities, the hundred deities complete the five families. By becoming familiar with the twenty-four thousand Buddhas of the limb deities, one enters into accomplishment. Inside the three-tiered temple, on the raised part of the mandala wheel, in the places of the deities, the yogi parents reside on cushions with inner linings. The middle temple is the place where the musicians who make offerings come and go. The outer perimeter is the place to put offerings and utensils. The five utensils are completely fulfilled. The so-called "completely fulfilled" means that food and drink are one, clothes and ornaments are two, dance, music, and lyrics are three, musical instruments and the like are four, and ali-gana (Sanskrit: āli-gana) is five, called complete without exception. Thus it is said, by this, one should accomplish the gathering. By engaging with great diligence in non-degeneration. The so-called "non-degeneration" means that the five rituals are complete, the five utensils are complete, and the five mantra limbs are perfected. Or, the two, view and samaya, reach the standard.
