If asked, is it because ten and the Tibetan letters are thirty? Generally, that is so, but here, the number is fixed at forty-two. Because the forty-two Buddhas to be emanated are definite, and they are the seeds that generate these Buddhas. Furthermore, as it is said in the Mother of the Buddhas Sutra, "One should be skilled in the forty-two letters," this will also serve as a basis for understanding here. These letters also encompass all the letters of names with the sound of "A," and it encompasses all dharmas. Moreover, since the forty-two letters are enlightened as the forty-two Buddhas, all the dharmas encompassed by the letters are also fully enlightened. Therefore, it must be the king who controls all dharmas, because this letter is determined to be the nature of mind. Third, the letter itself appears as shapes and colors, etc., thereby accomplishing activities, which is the Nirmanakaya. Regarding the three kayas of body, speech, and mind, "Ema" means greatness, and wonder is the function, and the extraordinary is the nature. Although they do not exist in the three, they appear, therefore it is a great illusion, which is the letter. Its classification is forty-five in total, adding three pervasive letters to the above forty-two. Thus, the gathering of letters gives rise to names, and the gathering of names gives rise to words, and they are the basis for holding and relying on the meaning of all dharmas. Translated into words, the letter speaks of names in various expressions, and is able to show the great meaning expressed, therefore it is called speech. Thus, at the time of appearance, the letter itself does not exist as a true entity, because the nature of the letter is the nature of mind, and in the nature of mind there is no grasping of the two selves of person and dharma, it is emptiness. Thus, appearance and emptiness, or existence and non-existence, etc., are free from all extremes, and there is no attachment to anything, the ultimate truth is mind. However, as it is said in the Great Sutra, it is not established on any side, but only in conventional truth, such as the letter "A" emitting sound, etc., appearing in various shapes, and the colors of nature and lineage, etc. As mentioned above, appearing as a collection of names, words, and letters, with unobstructed play, it transforms into anything such as gods and mandalas, and appears in front of the beings to be tamed, this is the body.

“ག་”的象征并非仅仅是胜者(佛陀),而是十方四时一切如来的自性,是智慧萨埵的身语意的象征文字。因此,生起四十二尊智慧萨埵坛城的种子字是四十二个,这是所遍。这些字象征身语意,是能遍的三个字。这样总共是四十五个。这些字从字母表的开头“བེར་ཀ་རི”到结尾“ཀྵ་”为止,被称为圆满。有些人说,因为“ཀྵ་”的下面有能调伏的文字,所以不算圆满。但“ཨ་ལ་གི་གུས་ཨིར་འགྱུར་པ་”等是分支字母,这些都圆满于身体的字母“ཨ་”本身。文字的自性是,稍微改变词语,从下面显现为文字的那些并非真实存在的事物,因为从上面看,文字的自性仅仅是心的幻化,所以是显空不二的法性。作用是,像这样,对于任何边际都无法确定的自性,通过证悟和显现,成为具有巨大果报的各种功德的自性。那是什么呢?显现为身语意无尽庄严轮,但它不像下乘那样由因缘产生,所以改变词语,称之为奇妙。如上所述,由于身语意的不可思议的作为,成就了自他的利益,所以称为稀有。这些在不存在的情况下显现的巨大幻化,通过文字的途径成就,所以称为极度吸引。定义是,对于所证悟的法界,以智慧的根基,分别以根基证悟者的智慧来证悟法界,这被称为书写。为了证悟所证悟的,所以文字被称为证悟法界。能遍的三个字是:三个象征文字中的哪个?它所象征的,所要清净的三门分别中的哪个?那些作为的道路,方法和智慧无别的三个中的哪个?它所清净的,胜者的身语意中的哪个?这是四者结合在一起的。也就是说,文字的开头是“བེར་ཀ་རི”,正如《吉祥施所问经》中所说:“开头是最初”。

The symbol of 'ga' is not only of the Victorious One (Buddha), but it is the essence of all Tathagatas of the ten directions and four times, and it is the symbolic letter of the body, speech, and mind of the Wisdom Being. Therefore, the seed letters for generating the forty-two mandalas of the Wisdom Being are forty-two, which are the pervaded. These represent the body, speech, and mind, which are the three pervading letters. Thus, there are forty-five in total. These letters, from the beginning 'ber kari' to the end 'ṣa,' are said to be complete. Some say that because there are letters of the capable one (Thubpa) below 'ṣa,' it is not complete. But 'a la gi gus ir gyur pa,' etc., are branch letters, and these are complete in the body letter 'a' itself. The nature of letters is that, slightly changing the words, those that appear as letters from below are not truly existing things, because from above, the nature of letters is merely a trick of the mind, so it is the nature of phenomena that is inseparable from appearance and emptiness. The function is that, in this way, by realizing and manifesting that nature which is not fixed on any extreme, it becomes the nature of various qualities with great results. What is that? It appears as the inexhaustible wheel of adornment of body, speech, and mind, but it is not produced from causes and conditions like the lower vehicles, so changing the words, it is called wonderful. As mentioned above, due to the inconceivable actions of body, speech, and mind, the benefit of oneself and others is accomplished, so it is called amazing. These great illusions that appear without existence are accomplished through the path of letters, so it is called extremely attractive. The definition is that, for the realm of phenomena to be realized, the faculty of intelligence, the wisdom that realizes separately, realizes the realm of phenomena, which is called writing. For the realization of what is to be realized, the letter is called the realization of the realm of phenomena. The three pervading letters are: which of the three symbolic letters? Which of the three doors of purification that it symbolizes? Which of the three paths of action, method, and wisdom that are inseparable? Which of the body, speech, and mind of the Victorious One that it purifies? These four are combined together. That is, the beginning of the letters is 'ber kari,' as it is said in the Sutra Requested by Glorious Giving: 'The beginning is the first.'

至于表示“玛”字,最初显现的任何形象,那是因为它是字母的开端,所以称为“贝嘎热”。如《斯帕卡布》所说:“字母如蛇一般引导一切的开端。”因此,“贝嘎热”引导,一切字母都由此进入,所以称为“无误之道”。从意义上说,“贝嘎热”所净化的是心,净化它的方法是通过无别的智慧来净化,象征着胜者(佛)的无二智慧。至于“提”字,是词语,之所以命名为“提”,如《广大论》所说:“提被称为智慧之名。”这是《吉祥给予所问经》中所说:“汇集一切字母的必要,以堆叠表示部类的意义,以应知的广大来阐明堆叠的意义。”以及《猛烈国王所问经》中所说:“提是堆砌成词,汇集字母并称为名,意义的精华在于部类,因此堆砌称为提。”以及《殊胜庄严经》中所说:“为了汇集,堆砌即是提,汇集散乱而称为名。”因此,汇集字母并清晰地显示意义,所以称为智慧之名。从意义上说,堆砌所净化的是语,净化它的方法是通过智慧之道来净化,象征着胜者之语不间断地宣说佛法。至于“夏”字,如《大经》所说:“木棍就像短的投掷物。”以大方便来断句,以此断句并组合成偈颂,如该经所说:“表示断句的名称被尊称为‘夏’。”从意义上说,“夏”所净化的是身体的分别念,净化它的方法是通过方便之道来净化,象征着胜者的身不间断地成办事业。在此,有些对佛语的意义感到迷惑,并被邪见的魔障所迷惑的人说:这三个遍行字母不是从印度翻译过来的,因为这些在印度的字母中没有。如果这样说,那么广为人知的佛语《殊胜庄严经》、《具相心经》和《吉祥给予所问经》等也将变成不是从印度翻译过来的了,因为这些经中讲述了遍行三字母。这个标志已经由上面的引证所证实了,遍布

As for representing the letter "Ma," whatever image appears at the beginning, that is because it is the beginning of the letters, so it is called "Berka Re." As the "Sparkhab" says, "The letter is like a snake, leading the beginning of everything." Therefore, "Berka Re" leads, and all letters enter from it, so it is called "The Unmistaken Path." In terms of meaning, what "Berka Re" purifies is the mind, and the method of purifying it is through non-dual wisdom, symbolizing the non-dual wisdom of the Victorious One (Buddha). As for the letter "Ti," it is a word, and the reason for naming it "Ti" is as stated in the "Extensive Treatise": "Ti is called the name of wisdom." This is what is said in the "Sutra Requested by Glorious Giving": "Gathering all the necessities of letters, stacking represents the meaning of the category, and with great knowledge to clarify the meaning of stacking." And as stated in the "Sutra Requested by the Fierce King": "Ti is to build up into words, gathering letters and calling it a name, the essence of meaning lies in the category, therefore stacking is called Ti." And as stated in the "Excellent Ornament Sutra": "For the sake of gathering, stacking is Ti, gathering the scattered and calling it a name." Therefore, gathering the letters and clearly showing the meaning, it is called the name of wisdom. In terms of meaning, what stacking purifies is speech, and the method of purifying it is through the path of wisdom, symbolizing the uninterrupted teaching of the Dharma by the Victorious One's speech. As for the letter "Sha," as stated in the "Great Sutra": "The stick is like a short throwing object." Cutting sentences with great skillful means, thereby cutting sentences and combining them into verses, as the sutra says, "The name representing the cutting of sentences is respectfully called 'Sha'." In terms of meaning, what "Sha" purifies is the conceptualization of the body, and the method of purifying it is through the path of skillful means, symbolizing the uninterrupted accomplishment of deeds by the Victorious One's body. Here, some who are confused about the meaning of the Buddha's words and deluded by the demonic obstacles of wrong views say: These three pervasive letters were not translated from India, because these are not found in the letters of India. If this is said, then the well-known Buddha's words, such as the "Excellent Ornament Sutra," the "Heart Sutra of the One with Form," and the "Sutra Requested by Glorious Giving," will also become not translated from India, because these sutras speak of the three pervasive letters. This sign has been proven by the above quotations, pervading

如果没有,这里也一样,不能如愿。四十二个字母的意义解释是:从现观的次第来说,如第五品一样,从三种方便中,以基础方便生起所依的宫殿等。以不可思议的方便,依靠生起本尊,有三种仪轨,这是其中的诵读字句仪轨。这四十二个字母应当作为四十二尊本尊的种子字。如《海》中所说:地和虚空眼金刚,五位大能是最初五位。第二五位依次是,娇女、鬘、歌和舞,说是阎摩敌。第五之三依次是,光明金刚、宝生和,无量义成就是这样说的。第四五位依次是,虚空眼和白衣,嘛嘛唧和灯明是这样说的。第五五位依次是,慈氏、除盖障、普贤和吉祥,马头明王依次是这样认为的。第六是四,依次是,焚香、花、灯和,香水天女是这样说的。第七是四,依次是,常、断、相和清净,无我母是依次的。最终穷尽者金刚是,无余聚集的自性。从身语意的金刚中,化现的化身有六。第八说是六个字母。消除一切障碍的智慧是,说是断除束缚者。因为这样说的缘故。又,从字母中取出本尊种子字的理由有四个:因为是名字的第一个字母;从处所取出;因为体性相符;因为解脱相同,所以取出种子字。这里大多是以后两个为主。其中第一个,阿(藏文:ཨ,梵文天城体:अ,梵文罗马拟音:a,汉语字面意思:阿)是种子字的第一个字母,这样安立的理由是:从这个本身显现各种各样的,喀(藏文:ཀ,梵文天城体:क,梵文罗马拟音:ka,汉语字面意思:喀)等四十二个,以声音的名字全部包括。以及《幻化后》中说:阿(藏文:ཨ,梵文天城体:अ,梵文罗马拟音:a,汉语字面意思:阿)是空性,本来就是空性,空性中没有空性。因为是所有字母的因或基础,所以安立在最前面。因为这样说的缘故。无生即是真如。如果从萨瓦达玛(藏文:སརྦ་དྷརྨ,梵文天城体:सर्वधर्म,梵文罗马拟音:sarva dharma,汉语字面意思:一切法)的声音中引出,就是一切法。阿(藏文:ཨ,梵文天城体:अ,梵文罗马拟音:a,汉语字面意思:阿)遮止了一切法
