Or scattering from fifty, or from the aspect of the limbs of conceptualization, eighty deities are the union of skillful means and wisdom, and the deities of skillful means have three aspects of body, speech, and mind, three each, totaling one hundred and twenty. These deities also include eight hundred crown deities, thus forming mandalas such as the mandala of a thousand Buddhas. Such is the movement and expansion. Therefore, the movement of the body and the expansion of samadhi should be known as not exceeding the suchness of the mudras of the body, speech, and mind of the yidam deity. In short, all movements. Therefore, the mudras that cannot be expressed by words, if summarized in one word, manifest the mudra of self-nature and the mudra of view. When focusing on the clear contemplation of the supreme samadhi fruit mudra, the shaking of the body and the movement of the limbs, that is, all that appears and is done, abide in the state of the great mudra. Therefore, since it does not go beyond the embodiment, speech, and mind of the great self, it abides in the state of the great mudra. Abiding itself is neither abiding nor non-abiding. Therefore, merely abiding in this, it is not grasped by the mind, so it is not non-abiding, nor is it a term for abiding in one's own continuum. Such excellent words were spoken by Samantabhadra. Saying "such words" refers to the excellent Samantabhadra, whose realm of activity is completely pure. The method of practicing the stages of mudras in this way is as follows: Zur Chung Sherab Drakpa believes that for beginners with little wisdom, like driving a stake into the ground, one should first learn to fix the object of focus, contemplating the lineage, body color, and hand symbols of the deity, making them definite. For practitioners of intermediate wisdom, like the flow of water in the sky, one should learn the method of not changing the meaning and state, contemplating deities whose lineage is definite, but whose body color and hand symbols are indefinite. For practitioners of superior wisdom, like brandishing a spear in the sky, one should learn the method of no definiteness, contemplating deities whose lineage, body color, and hand symbols are all indefinite. Thus, it is divided into three. Some also say, "Such excellent words were spoken by Samantabhadra." Therefore, if someone thinks that this Guhyagarbha Tantra is not a scripture spoken by Samantabhadra, there is no fault. Because it is said in the Four Activities: "This is the word of the connector and summarizer." If that is the case, then

如果成为过失,那么圣者集经也会成为非如来所说。那些从无明而生的,是善逝所说,因为有作用的缘故。这样说。诸位上师这样说。第三是章节的名称,秘密的第八。那里有。秘密的,指难以理解的。精华,指包含精髓的。彼性,指排除其他的。确定,指没有怀疑的。业,是名称的基础。所有支分的坛城都加持后,手印开展的章节,即第八。身体和证悟的所有支分,都在三手印的坛城中自然成就,加持后,自性手印,见手印,以及殊胜禅定的手印,不混杂地开展,经文的词义,分门别类地进行区分和界定,因此是章节,其数量有二十二,其中,向上数是第八的意思。秘密精华彼性确定续的注释,阐明续义的明灯如意宝中,第八章节的经文意义的详细解释。善哉!

If it becomes a fault, then the Holy Collection Sutra would also become not spoken by the Tathagata. Those arising from ignorance are spoken by the Sugata, because there is a function. Thus it is stated. The Lamas say so. The third is the indication of the chapter's name: "Secret, the eighth." It is there. "Secret" means difficult to understand. "Essence" means containing the essence. "Suchness" means excluding others. "Certainty" means without doubt. "Karma" is the basis of the name. After all the limbs have been blessed into a mandala, it is the eighth chapter, which is the chapter of unfolding mudras. After all the limbs of body and realization have been spontaneously accomplished in the mandala of the three mudras, and blessed, the mudra of nature, the mudra of view, and the mudra of superior samadhi are unfolded without being mixed, and the words and meanings of the scriptures are distinguished and defined, therefore it is a chapter, of which there are twenty-two, and among them, counting upwards, it is the meaning of the eighth. The commentary on the Secret Essence Certainty Tantra, the Lamp that Clarifies the Meaning of the Tantra, the Wish-Fulfilling Jewel, is a detailed explanation of the meaning of the eighth chapter. Good!
