English

He was entrusted with gathering secrets. The nature of the Sugatas of the ten directions and four times revolves in the nature of grasping and apprehended elaboration. In order to eliminate that, the differences are arranged in order, and it is only arranged in the secret essence. All the wonderful and immeasurable mandalas of the Sugatas are also said by the Buddhas to be able to accomplish the meaning of sentient beings. Among all of them, the mudra great secret essence of all the Sugatas is said to be the most supreme. The person who understands this supreme and explains it is Vajrasattva himself, and he has also completed the secret empowerment. Why? Because even the Buddhas do not have any secret other than this. This secret of peace that is free from affirming or denying existence or non-existence was taken out by all the Buddhas from the space of their minds. Whoever holds this secret will definitely be prophesied, and is the supreme son born from the minds of the Buddhas. The vidyadhara who abides in the Buddha's place, this secret abides in him. Having said that, all the Buddhas were very pleased with the non-dual meaning, and in the equality of the four times, that is, in the nature of the Dharmadhatu, they dissolved into the dense ornament of arrangement and remained. The twenty-second chapter, the chapter on complete grasping, is complete. This king of secret words, the innermost secret of the mind, is the uncommon lineage of the Sugatas' intention. It is not the object of practice for thinkers like me, nor should it be examined with a coarse mind. However, in order to benefit future generations of believers, this concise and differentiated order has been composed. Whatever contradictions there may be in the secret of words and meanings, I ask all the yogic masters to forgive me. This lamp of the mind, the commentary on the secret, has been determined by scripture, oral instructions, and reasoning. With a clear mind, distinguishing between one's own tradition and others, from understanding the meaning of the difficult-to-understand secret vehicle, to knowing the meaning of the difficult-to-know secret vehicle, may one penetrate the ocean of secret mantras. Whoever understands this extremely difficult-to-understand secret tantra, using the lamp of words to find the gold of meaning, may easily obtain the merit of understanding, may all limitless sentient beings obtain it. From the hundred thousand chapters of the noble King of Thought, Vajrasattva Mayajala Tantra, the general statement of the scriptures of all characteristics and tantras, the secret of all the Tathagatas, the essence of the secret is that very nature.
