I, explain the names in detail, and summarize through the number and results of various vows. There are three vows of harsh language: words that are complete and thorough, harsh words used in secret and intense mantras, and summarizing through the number of various languages. There are three vows that cannot be abandoned: briefly showing what cannot be abandoned, explaining in detail, and summarizing through the number and results of various vows. There are two detailed explanations: because there are things that are in accordance with the Dharma, there are the correct five poisons; because views and meditation overwhelm everything, there are the separate five poisons. The first has five: grasping desire by explaining the method, the ten grounds of compassion, and grasping hatred through wisdom, among the many things to be abandoned, arrogance that obtains patience for correct views and meditation, ignorance that is separated from the attachment of biased views, and jealousy that does not possess inferior vessels and uses. There are four ways in which the five poisons that overwhelm everything through views manifest as wisdom: showing that the realms, the inverted three poisons, and the five poisons are naturally possessed; showing that the five poisons are the mind, and since the mind has not arisen, the poisons have not arisen either; showing that for a skillful person, like skillful means, there are no self-born five poisons other than the five wisdoms, with metaphors; showing that when one recognizes it as if it were dead, there is nothing to be abandoned other than wisdom in the three realms. There are three vows to accept: explaining in detail through the sutras and all, and summarizing from the perspective of numbers. There are two detailed explanations: the nature of material excrement, and the reason why the qualities of accomplished ones constantly arise, if one practices with the essence of the five wisdoms and samadhi, it shows that the supreme qualities of the path are immeasurable. There are three things to be practiced: briefly showing the practice, dividing in detail into five lineages, and summarizing from the perspective of forty-five numbers. There are three vows to be understood: briefly showing understanding, classifying in detail, and summarizing from the perspective of establishing views in the mind. There are two detailed explanations: if all the dharmas of the realms, the five aggregates, and the three realms are summarized, they contain seventy types; if one possesses the conviction of understanding the meaning of wisdom itself, then the Dharma of Nirvana is not independent of this, therefore

All appearing realms are shown to be primordially pure as wisdom. The common branches are twofold: the common sutra and the extensive one. Therein are two: guarding for one's own benefit and applying for the benefit of others. The first has two aspects: showing the faults to be abandoned and avoided, and showing the qualities that turn away from what should be abandoned. Applying for the benefit of others has the six perfections: practicing for the benefit of others from the perspective of compassionate conduct, and advising not to abandon those to be tamed from the perspective of the four sets of ten. The fourth general topic, showing the causes of vows being broken, has three aspects: the sutra being broken, extensively explaining the categories of causes for the broken person, the Dharma, and the teacher, and that breaking twenty things that are not abandoned will cause breaking. The fifth general topic, showing the causes of breaking, has two aspects: the sutra and the extensive one. Therein are three: the fault of breaking, the early signs of going to the lower realms in the future as arising from this life; breaking, if there is breaking, even without signs, the suffering in the future is great, therefore showing that the suffering is long-lasting; not breaking, if signs of breaking appear, the ripening of actions from previous lives onwards is rough and strong, therefore here, if it is exhausted by the power of merit and wisdom, and then imprisoned for restoration and replenishment, then it is advised that one will not experience the suffering of the lower realms in the future. The sixth general topic, showing the faults of breaking, has two aspects: the sutra and the extensive one. Therein are two: the fault of breaking the root and the fault of breaking the branches. The first has two aspects: the fault of breaking individually and the fault of breaking generally. The first has four aspects: the fault of breaking the bodhisattva vow, and the fault of breaking the vows of body, speech, and mind. Breaking generally has five aspects: the fault itself, the extent of the suffering of the Vajra Hell, the lack of the power of compassion due to the breaking of a thousand Buddhas in the past, the duration of remaining between being cast into the Vajra Hell, and because it is more serious than that, it is advised to be diligent in guarding. The fault of breaking the branches has two aspects: the sutra branch and the extensive enjoyment. The seventh general topic, the qualities of not breaking, has three aspects: the sutra yoga, the extensive one, and the vows of the three vehicles of the Great Vehicle are all gathered in this branch, therefore showing that it has benefits.

There are two expansions: the root qualities and the branch qualities. There are three roots: the vow of the body of enlightenment with few illnesses, the qualities of the vow of the body commonly taught, the qualities of speech, and the qualities of mind. The eighth general meaning is that if the vows are broken, there are three ways to restore them: if the root vow is broken, the expanded vow is broken, and the restoration is done through the door of qualities. There are two expansions: the root restoration method and the branch restoration method. There are four root restoration methods: the restoration method of the mind of enlightenment, the restoration method of the body, the restoration method of speech, and the restoration method of mind. There are five methods for restoring the body: the actual method of restoration of the body, if that place is not available, then the method of restoring to its teacher, and if that is not available, then restoring by offering to a hundred companions, and if a hundred companions are not found, then restoring by fire offering to three companions, and incidentally, if the faults of not quickly purifying the actual object of confession are shown. The ninth general meaning is that there are three types of symbolic examples: the root vow, the expanded vow, and the instructions. There are eleven expansions: the example of the earth as the basis of all qualities held by vows, the example of the boundary as to whether one can keep the vows or not, and whether it turns out good or bad, the example of jewels as the merit of keeping the vows, the need for the path and fruit being fulfilled, the example of the sky as all dharmas being gathered into vows, the example of a sharp blade as cutting the bonds of suffering of samsara if vows are kept, the example of parents as the Buddhas of the three times arising from vows, the example of the ocean as the blessings of accomplishments arising if vows are kept, the example of a fire pile as being especially non-violent and mindful, the example of suchness as dispelling the suffering of samsara, the example of a king as all actions endowed with vows not being wasted, and the example of the ocean's treasure as not being separable even for a moment from the initial generation of the supreme mind of enlightenment until the final attainment of perfect enlightenment. The tenth general meaning is that there are four summaries of the topics of the four tantras: the nature tantra, the nature of the knowable view tantra, and the meaning of the practice of samadhi tantra.

The Sutra of Conduct Without Acceptance or Rejection. There are three aspects to its nature: namely, the nature of the samaya, the exposition of the nature of all phenomena, and the demonstration that at all times and in all appearances, there is no transcendence of this. There are three aspects to the Sutra of Conduct: namely, this essence of conduct, the unconfessed reasoning that it does not turn into fault, and the illusory gathering of the four samayas by means of the distinction of examples. The work called "The Mirror that Clarifies the Condensed Meaning of the Vajra Clarity of Samaya," composed by the precious Lama Prajnasimha, is complete. Shubham!
