I say the measure of the body, or the body is three measures. It is also said that a cubit is sixteen fingers, or twenty or twenty-five fingers. Or is it a bow, a shout, a yojana? As it is said. Third is the line: In the ninth chapter it says, "Place the line with wisdom." And wooden pegs, ropes, pigment powder, etc., from there to: "The wise master should do it carefully." Thus it is said. That is also, the meaning of the line is unchanging. There are two types of pegs: fixed pegs and rotating pegs. There are also two types of ropes: the original line, the peaceful one uses lotus stems, the wrathful one uses large stems. The vow line of both is bought with clean cotton wool, with the value of a hero. The rope of the original line, five colors in a group, five groups twisted into twenty-five or five groups twisted. The rope of the vow line, nine strands twisted or three strands twisted. The method of placing is also, after clearly visualizing the vow line as the nature of body, speech, and mind, in order for each of those three to possess five wisdoms, the original line is placed in the sky of the base of the mandala. The method of placing is also to place it without confusing the direction of rotation. Fourth is the pigment: In the ninth chapter of the Tantra it says, "For the sake of showing the pigment to the unseen ignorant." Etc., rejoice as in the ritual of taming. Thus it is said. Fifth is painting: In the ninth chapter of the Tantra it says, "Having a central hub, four spokes with rims, four corners and a square, with corridors and door frames." As it is said, do it as in the ritual of taming with any of the three types of mandala: extensive, medium, or concise. Sixth is placing the forms: In the ninth chapter of the Tantra it says, "Place the forms that possess body, speech, and mind." Therefore, the main one is the body, the retinue is the hand gestures, and the secondary one is the letters. Seventh is the consecration, there are three types: The first is the consecration of the limbs, the action vase, vajra bell, skull cup water, lines, pigments, etc. The consecration of those with limbs, the vase, the disciple, and the deity's clothing are mentioned. The consecration of the mandala is through the method of the nine stages of action, etc. Eighth is the fire offering: In the ninth chapter of the Tantra it says, "For the fire deity who has become the mouth, with shapes, colors, and names, give offerings of food, drink, and delicious gatherings, and give the offerings of the four actions." Ninth is entering the mandala: With the practice offering as a preliminary, first the teacher himself.

After entering, the student should be brought into the mandala. As the ninth chapter of this treatise states: "Enter with the wisdom of all-accomplishing empowerment, then bring in the student." And as stated in the "Vajra Karma Sequence": "Empowerment entry and forgiveness prayer, bathing, anointing, and body offering, expelling obstacles, regarding as deities, giving vows, entrusting that itself and water oath, proclaiming and discarding jewels, descending deities and diligence, opening the eyes, well showing the mandala, gathering supreme offerings and eighteen kinds, with this the limbs become complete." Thus it is. Tenth, the merit of entering is: As mentioned above, after doing so, if the faithful one dwells well, then desires will be fulfilled as wished. Thus it is. Fourth, the mandala of samadhi is: As stated in the ninth chapter: "Body, speech, mind, and all dharmas," etc., until "Meditate on space as space." And "Samadhi play, infinite and supreme," etc., until "The supreme vow of becoming close." The self-nature mandala refers to abiding in the meaning of self-awareness, uncreated, its power appearing unceasingly as the five wisdoms. The sixth chapter states: "Wisdom in the four directions and center observed, the inconceivable spontaneously accomplished mandala, the yogi who realizes Dzogchen, practices the great all-arising mandala." Thus it is. Fifth, the mandala of increasing samadhi is: From the preliminary seven activities of the peaceful and wrathful mandalas, starting from the beginning until wearing clothes and protecting the body, one must practice with many enhancements of the object of samadhi, therefore it is called the mandala of increasing samadhi. Sixth, the bodhicitta mandala is: Outer bodhicitta is the channels and winds, inner bodhicitta is the bindu, secret bodhicitta is the wisdom of bliss and emptiness, there are three kinds. The first is: In the "Illusion's Heart Essence Arrangement Tantra" it says: "For all sentient beings in the three realms, there are three life-forces and four wheels." Here, channels and winds have two kinds: the wisdom wind that is the basis for purification, and the karma wind that is to be purified. Karma wind is further divided into ten winds gathered by root and branches, along with the nose-traveling wind. The second is: In the heart, there is the indestructible life-force bindu, etc., the wisdom bindu, and the alaya consciousness bindu with impurities. The third is:

依靠上下之门生起大乐之智慧。第七,会众坛城是寂怒二者依赖一三五这三种中的任何一种,如前所述。第四,灌顶:第九品中,已经讲了授予利益灌顶的剩余部分,即示现影像坛城。现在讲授秘密灌顶坛城:从“极其微细之誓言”开始,到“指长为四指之量”为止。又从“或者双手掌交叉”开始,到“智者如法行仪轨”为止。又从“如指甲般圆的日月”开始,到“手印写成芝麻大小”为止,都已阐述。这有三种:本体是二因和四缘。第一,二因是:俱生因,即原本自性安住之法性。俱有因,即具有加持的灌顶物。第二,四缘是:堪能授予甚深利益之三灌顶的具器弟子是因之缘;能够授予三灌顶的具德上师是主之缘;具备物、咒、三摩地三者之殊胜能力是所缘之缘;前前灌顶开解后后灌顶生起是等无间缘。如是依靠二因四缘聚合,以在相续中安立果位智慧之作用,而使解脱之苗芽显现,或使必生之能力成熟,是为灌顶之本体。决定词是:从阿毗诜迦(藏文:ཨ་བྷི་ཥིཉྩའི་,梵文天城体:अभिषिञ्च,梵文罗马拟音:abhiṣiñca,汉语字面意思:灌顶)之语而来,即显明倾注或灌注。从灌顶洗涤三门垢染之角度而言,是显明倾注;从在相续中安立果位智慧之能力的角度而言,是显明灌注之义,故名灌顶。

Relying on the upper and lower gates, the wisdom of great bliss is generated. Seventh, the mandala of the assembly of groups is that both peaceful and wrathful ones rely on any of the three: one, three, or five, as mentioned above. Fourth, empowerment: In the ninth chapter, it has already been explained that the remainder of the benefit empowerment, which is the manifestation of the image mandala, has been discussed above. Now, the mandala of secret empowerment is taught: Starting from "The extremely subtle samaya," and ending with "The finger is the measure of four fingers." Also, starting from "Or the palms are crossed," and ending with "The wise one should perform the ritual as it is." Also, starting from "The sun and moon as round as a fingernail," and ending with "The mudra is written as small as a sesame seed," have all been explained. There are three aspects to this: The essence is two causes and four conditions. First, the two causes are: The coemergent cause, which is the dharma-nature that inherently abides as self-nature. The cooperative cause is all the empowerment substances that possess blessings. Second, the four conditions are: The disciple who is a suitable vessel capable of receiving the three profound benefit empowerments is the condition of the cause; the qualified master who is capable of bestowing the three empowerments is the condition of the lord; the special ability of the three samadhis of substance, mantra, and samadhi is the condition of the object; the successive empowerments opening up and the subsequent empowerments arising immediately after are the condition of contiguity. Thus, relying on the aggregation of two causes and four conditions, the act of establishing the wisdom of the state of attainment in the continuum causes the sprout of liberation to manifest, or matures the potential for certain birth, which is the essence of empowerment. The definition is: From the word Abhiṣiñca (藏文:ཨ་བྷི་ཥིཉྩའི་,梵文天城体:अभिषिञ्च,梵文罗马拟音:abhiṣiñca,汉语字面意思:灌顶), which means to manifestly pour or infuse. From the perspective of empowerment washing away the defilements of the three doors, it is manifest pouring; from the perspective of establishing the ability of the wisdom of the result in the continuum, it is the meaning of manifest infusion, hence it is called empowerment. Classification: As it says, "The master, secret wisdom, and immediately following that is the fourth," there are four types. Or, there are four types of empowerment of vessels, as stated in the ninth chapter: "If one has faith, diligence, asceticism, and perfect understanding, then the benefit empowerment and the ability empowerment should be bestowed in sequence. Take it with compassion, do not waste it." This indicates that for those with faith, the ten external benefit empowerments are: The collection of benefit empowerments in the tenth chapter are: The five essences and the crown, vase, diadem, garland.
