English

As a symbol of subduing pride, the khatvanga of pride is circled around the head. As a symbol of subduing jealousy, the great powerful deity parents are pressed under the seat. The glory that pervades all is the glory of saving all beings. The glory that pervades all, like the sun, shines on all, hence it is the glory that pervades all. It is called the sun that saves all beings, although it is like the sun that warms everything, just as a south-facing cave is particularly warm, for those who become the field of beings to be tamed, it is even more diligent to do things for them, therefore it is called the glory of especially saving beings. Here, it refers to the glory of caring for the world as if it were a child, for all sentient beings of appearance and existence, caring as if they were the only parents, with great compassion loving all, therefore it is called the glory of caring for the world. This refers to the complete fulfillment of altruistic deeds, due to the power of past aspirations, until samsara is not empty, the compassionate heart continues uninterrupted, without forgetting the body, the glory of completely fulfilling the benefit of beings. This refers to the glory of self-benefit being naturally accomplished, after such complete fulfillment of altruism, what merit is there for myself? Just like burning with red fire, one's own nature is revealed, perfecting the two accumulations of merit and wisdom, therefore it is called the glory of self-benefit being naturally accomplished. This refers to the inconceivable blessing of the Tathagata, all Tathagatas are accomplished by the three bodies, abiding in the nature of the three bodies, even when the ten-ground Bodhisattva transcends the object of focus with the three wisdoms, it appears to be no different from the Tathagata, but when emerging from samadhi, the intention of the Tathagata is extremely difficult to comprehend, therefore it is called the Bodhisattva difficult to comprehend. For example, just as the sky is covered by clouds, and rain falls where the clouds cover, wherever the Dharmakaya pervades, the Sambhogakaya also pervades, and wherever the Sambhogakaya pervades, the Nirmanakaya also pervades, like the flow of a great river of compassionate activity, continuously benefiting beings, like the sky filled with clouds, raining down water.

of the stream. This is called. This is the realm of meditation, inconceivable. The realm of meditation of the Tathagata is beyond the calculation of Bodhisattvas. A Bodhisattva on the first ground purifies a hundred Buddha-fields. Emanating a hundred forms, abiding for a hundred kalpas, and liberating a hundred kinds of beings. It is not like being unable to count, but through the blessing of the Tathagata, abiding in non-discriminating samadhi, immeasurable like the sky. The emanations of samadhi are inconceivable, appearing like stars scattered across the sky, immeasurable. In the inconceivable sky, stars shine clearly. This is called. This is the symbol of mastering the inconceivable power of the Nagas. As a symbol of mastering the Naga king lineage, it is called "Great Power."

As a symbol of mastering the noble caste, possessing upright strength, exquisite craftsmanship, and melodious voices, the arms are adorned with red snake patterns.

This is the symbol of mastering the five poisons. As a symbol of mastering the three poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance, the body is adorned with drops of blood, strings of snakes, and scorched leather. As a symbol of mastering pride and jealousy, a khatvanga is brandished, and the great deities, father and mother, are suppressed. The form of a short dwarf symbolizes that all yakshas are subdued as if they were children, or like the hands and feet of Akolala being bound, they are completely suppressed and tamed. In order to tame them, the form of a short dwarf is shown. Fame spreads in the Buddha-fields, the Buddha praises and regards him as a son. Bodhisattvas regard him as a brother and a son. The fame that spreads among sentient beings is that upon seeing the body of such a great person, all ignorant and deluded beings will be praised and attain Buddhahood, and all pride and jealousy

以智慧的威力压制而发出声响。如明镜般的智慧,能如实地了悟法界的意义。以个别地完全领悟的智慧,知晓众生的根器,远离涅槃的边际。以平等性的智慧,舍弃二边的过失,以无二的方式了知,故为大中观。证悟无二的意义。总之,一切种智都汇集于一个智慧的境界中。精进的精华是指所有有漏的法都汇集于无漏的法性之中,因此称为精进的精华。精进的事业是从六道众生各自的处境中,将他们引向无上菩提心的境界。精进的果实是,救度了如此众多的众生,以至于轮回中没有一个遗漏,这是不让众生徒劳无益的精进。应当了知精进是至高无上的。关于大象的牙齿,有三种意义:降伏魔障的事业之庄严,贬低成就之物力量的庄严,以及见解立宗大乘之庄严。降伏魔障的事业之庄严,譬如大象摧毁众多茅草屋,同样,正见智慧如大象,能摧毁烦恼的习气,如茅草屋一般,故为降伏魔障的事业之庄严。贬低成就之物力量的庄严,大象的肉非常低贱,故称为贬低的成就之物。强大的行为是,在大象的背上建造城堡,容纳众多士兵,如同能够承载和容纳一样。下乘不能承载,也不能容纳其中的五种低贱之物和五种烦恼等等。大乘之中,没有一个不能容纳和不能承载的,故称为贬低成就之物力量的庄严。见解立宗大乘之庄严,譬如给大象灌醉葡萄酒,在鼻子上挂上水刀、轮子和夏克提等众多武器,然后让它面向敌方,这样无论如何也无法阻挡,它会突破敌人的军队。同样,大乘密法也坚守自己的见解立宗,对于其他

It resounds by suppressing with the power of wisdom. Like mirror-like wisdom, it realizes the meaning of the Dharmadhatu without any distortion. With the wisdom of individually and completely understanding, it knows the faculties of beings and is free from the extreme of Nirvana. With the wisdom of equality, it abandons the faults of the two extremes and knows in a non-dual way, hence it is the Great Madhyamaka. It sees the meaning of non-duality. In short, all omniscient wisdom is gathered into the state of one wisdom. The essence of diligence is that all contaminated dharmas are gathered into the state of uncontaminated Dharmata, therefore it is called the essence of diligence. The activity of diligence is to lead beings from their respective states in the six realms to the state of unsurpassed Bodhicitta. The fruit of diligence is that so many beings are liberated that not one is lost in Samsara, this is the diligence that does not let beings be in vain. Diligence should be known as the supreme of the supreme. Regarding the tusks of an elephant, there are three meanings: the adornment of the activity of subduing demons, the adornment of the power of belittling accomplished substances, and the adornment of the view establishing the supreme vehicle. The adornment of the activity of subduing demons, just as an elephant destroys many grass huts, similarly, correct wisdom is like an elephant, it destroys the habitual tendencies of afflictions, which are like grass huts, hence it is the adornment of the activity of subduing demons. The adornment of the power of belittling accomplished substances, the flesh of an elephant is very cheap, hence it is called the belittled accomplished substance. The powerful action is that a castle is built on the back of an elephant, accommodating many soldiers, just as it can carry and accommodate. The lower vehicle cannot carry or accommodate the five belittled substances and the five afflictions, etc. In the Great Vehicle, there is not one that cannot be accommodated or carried, hence it is called the adornment of the power of belittling accomplished substances. The adornment of the view establishing the supreme vehicle, just as an elephant is intoxicated with wine, and many weapons such as water knives, wheels, and Shaktis are hung on its trunk, and then it is sent facing the enemy, it cannot be stopped in any way, it will break through the enemy's army. Similarly, the Great Vehicle of Secret Mantra also adheres to its own view and establishment, and for others

By overpowering with majesty, it is the adornment of the view that establishes the supreme vehicle. The tiger also has three: the adornment of courageous wisdom, the adornment of fierce compassion, and the adornment of consuming action. The adornment of courageous wisdom is: for example, the tiger is naturally courageous, becoming an enemy of sentient beings and causing fear, similarly, wisdom is naturally courageous, becoming an enemy of all afflictions, hence it is called naturally courageous. The adornment of fierce compassion is: when a tiger pounces on its prey, it does not choose comfort or discomfort, but leaps with extremely fierce diligence, similarly, when the compassion of the Tathagata benefits beings, it does not abandon equanimity and laziness, but accomplishes it with extremely fierce diligence, hence it is called the adornment of fierce compassion. The adornment of consuming action is: consuming action is when a tiger seizes a sentient being, it eats the flesh and heart, and does not leave the hard bones, like having no flesh or bones at all, similarly, the Tathagata's action benefits those with thin karmic imprints, and does not benefit those with thick karmic imprints, but benefits all without distinguishing between thick and thin karmic imprints, hence it is called the adornment of consuming action. The snake has three: frightening with courage, suppressing poison with majesty, and showing the form of the consort with softness and flexibility. Among them, frightening with courage is: for example, the body is mottled, and the nature is fierce, causing fear, similarly, the garland of snakes on the body of the Great Glorious One subdues all arrogance and overpowers them with majesty, hence it is called the adornment of frightening with courage. Suppressing poison with majesty is: just as the tongue of a snake has poison, similarly, without abandoning the five outer poisons and the five inner poisons, they are subdued in their place, hence it is called suppressing poison with majesty. Showing the form of the consort with softness and flexibility is: the characteristic of a snake is softness and flexibility, therefore the snake Umatā is the thirty-two illusions of a woman, entwining the body of the wrathful deity and offering pleasing offerings, hence it is called showing the form of the consort with softness and flexibility. The skull has three: the empowerment of obtaining the three bodies, the sign of explaining the three vehicles, and the adornment of liberating sentient beings of the three times.
