Eliminating attachment to land and wealth. Fulfilling through aspiration: With an extremely pure mind, purify impairments, and with the faith of desiring to attain accomplishments, confess the accumulated misdeeds with remorseful thoughts and intense cries of anguish. Importantly: Confess the imprints of non-virtuous deeds and sins, accompanied by songs of sorrow. Thus it is said. Fulfilling through samadhi: Through confessing with the four powers, contemplate that white, red, and blue rays of light from the three places (three doors) of the object of confession strike oneself, thereby purifying all defilements, obscurations, and impairments. Fulfilling through suchness: The All-Gathering Sutra states: With great wisdom, knowing that all the imprints in the continuum are without inherent existence. Therefore, the sins to be purified, the antidotes that purify, and the agent oneself, etc., all with the nature of dreamlike illusions, cultivate the wisdom that does not conceptually elaborate the three spheres, which is the most excellent among all purifications of sins. The scripture states: If one wishes to perform confession, remain in one's own place and look correctly. If one sees correctly, one is completely liberated. This is the supreme confession. In particular, the individual methods for fulfilling the root and branch vows are also explained. The Fierce Lightning Sutra states: When vows are broken, understanding the meaning of the protector and the noble ones being the same, that itself becomes the place of fulfillment. If one disparages the guru and Dharma brothers, make them happy in this very life, and repent with fierce confession, that becomes the excellence of fulfillment. If my guru and Dharma brothers pass away before being fulfilled, then it has exceeded the limits of fulfillment. If the word vow is broken, then contemplate oneself as Vajra Dharma, and recite the broken vow a hundred thousand times. If the mind vow is broken, then contemplate oneself as Vajrasattva, and remain silent for three years, diligently practicing meditative yoga. If the branch vows are broken, then fulfill them individually with their respective families. Thus, it is said that from the basis of one's own three doors, the broken vows of body, speech, and mind are fulfilled. Thirdly, in front of the distinguished Three Jewels, or the field of merit such as Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and lamas, invite the object of mind's eye, confess the previous impairments, and make the vow not to violate the vows even if it costs one's life in the future, and constantly strive in yogas such as tsok offerings and fire offerings.

And, with the three doors free from deceit, strive to serve the Guru; receive the four empowerments of self-entry in the six parts of day and night; offer mandalas and confess with all objects of body, enjoyment, and virtuous accumulations, through the doors of real and imagined objects; strive to accomplish whatever virtuous roots can be achieved through ransom of life, exorcism, and giving alms; erect stupas that meet the standards, and plant tsa-tsas; request empowerment; recite and chant the profound sutras and tantras; meditate on the four immeasurables, such as loving-kindness; purify with fire, diligently engaging in peaceful burnt offerings, enriching homas, and the burnt offerings of Vajra Dakini; speak of the virtues of others; praise the qualities of those who have faults in the ten directions, and contemplate their virtues; please them with what they like; diligently prostrate and circumambulate many blessed objects of the Three Jewels; recite the secret mantras of the chosen deity, the supreme deity; insert the Guru's name mantra between the three syllables and recite it; meditate on profound meditation, the samadhi of calm abiding and insight; recite the Sutra of the Three Heaps six times during the day and night; strive to recite many blessed purification mantras; in particular, visualize the Guru Vajrasattva on the crown of the head, and with clear focus on the gathering and dispersing of visualization, recite the Hundred Syllable Mantra one hundred and eight times without interruption, confessing the branches of the four powers; or recite the text of the Ritual of Emptying the Hell, and constantly strive to recite the King of Tantras of Confession, the Immaculate Confession Tantra, which is praised as the supreme among confessions. As it is said in the Root Tantra of the Spontaneous Arising of the Eight Commands: "If these are purified at one time, and one recites one hundred and eight without distraction, one will be born as a son of the Victorious Ones of the three times." And as it is said: "Whoever prostrates to the peaceful and wrathful deities of illusion, all impairments are purified, even the sins of the five without interval are purified, the place of hell is emptied, and it is known as the realm of the Vidyadharas." Thus it is said. Even hearing the names of those deities of the mandala purifies impairments and liberates from the lower realms. Furthermore, as it is said in the Immaculate King of Confession Tantra: "Merely hearing the names of those deities of the mandala by male and female yogis purifies the root and branches of

如是说,为了这个缘故,班禅贝玛旺杰嘉波说:从《象王骤雨续》中所说,瑜伽士共同沐浴忏悔堕罪的虚耗,因忏悔不能清净,故应修持。如是说。此外,为了圆满二资粮,平息一切障碍,成就悉地,补足一切缺失,在每个月的初八、二十五、初十、二十九,以及初一和十五的空亡日,这些日子里,外在有空行母游行,内在有特殊脉气聚集,是为近聚集。特别是上弦初十的白天,以及下弦初十即二十五的夜晚,空行成就者聚集在修行者之处,为了成就任何事业,故应精进修持四种修法,以及外在供品资粮,内在身坛城,秘密菩提心之补忏等荟供和补忏。全知大师说:初一和十五的空亡日,初八、二十九,初十,上弦和下弦的日与夜,应精进修持亲近修、修持、荟供、补忏。如是说,通过这样,那个月里的所有缺失都能恢复,并且说能迅速成就一切共同和殊胜的悉地。特别是如上所说,对于初学者来说,易于修持且利益巨大的是百字明的念诵修持,应作为主要修持。其方法是:在自己平凡顶轮的白莲花月轮上,由白色吽字(藏文:ཧཱུྃ,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:吽)的光芒完全聚集,从中显现出与根本上师无二无别的薄伽梵吉祥金刚萨埵,身色如秋月般洁白,双足跏趺坐,心间月轮上安住着白色五股金刚杵,金刚杵的中心有种子字,其周围是百字明咒,观想其以可读的方式旋转。以强烈的后悔心对罪障、恶业、堕罪之聚进行忏悔,以与百字明咒意义相符的方式,以祈请的方式念诵,从身的部分和心间的种子字以及咒鬘中流出甘露之水,从自己的顶轮进入,身体的一切罪障都变成烟灰般的液体,疾病变成血脓黄水,魔

It is said, "Complete all deficiencies and breakages." Therefore, Panchen Pema Wangyi Gyalpo said: "As stated in the 'Elephant King's Torrential Rain Tantra,' the common ablution of yogis, the expiation of transgressions, and the dissipation of faults cannot be purified by confession alone, therefore, it should be practiced." It is said. Furthermore, in order to perfect the two accumulations, pacify all obstacles, accomplish siddhis, and replenish all deficiencies, on the new moon and full moon days of every month, as well as the eighth, twenty-fifth, tenth, and twenty-ninth days, on these days, the dakinis roam externally, and internally, special channels and winds gather, which is a near gathering. Especially on the tenth day of the waxing moon and the tenth day of the waning moon, that is, the night of the twenty-fifth, accomplished dakinis gather at the practitioner's place, and in order to accomplish any activity, one should diligently engage in the four types of approach and accomplishment, as well as external offering assemblies, internal body mandalas, secret bodhicitta completion and confession, and so forth, such as tsok offerings and completion and confession. The Omniscient Great One said: "New moon and full moon days, the eighth and twenty-ninth, the tenth, the days and nights of the waxing and waning moons, one should diligently engage in approach, accomplishment, tsok offerings, and completion and confession." It is said, and through this, all the deficiencies of that month are restored, and it is said that all common and supreme siddhis are quickly accomplished. Especially, as mentioned above, for beginners, the recitation and meditation of the Hundred Syllable Mantra, which is easy to practice and of great benefit, is praised as the main practice. The method is as follows: On the white lotus moon seat at the crown of one's ordinary head, from the complete gathering of the light of the white HUM syllable (Tibetan: ཧཱུྃ, Devanagari: हुं, Romanized Sanskrit: hūṃ, Literal meaning: HUM), the Bhagavan Glorious Vajrasattva, inseparable from the root guru, appears, his body color as white as the autumn moon, with legs in the vajra posture, and in his heart, on a moon disc, resides a white five-pronged vajra, in the center of the vajra is the seed syllable, and around it is the Hundred Syllable Mantra, visualized as rotating in a readable manner. With strong remorse for the accumulation of sins, obscurations, and transgressions, one recites the Hundred Syllable Mantra in accordance with its meaning, in the manner of supplication, and from the body part and the seed syllable in the heart, together with the mantra garland, a stream of nectar arises, entering from one's crown, and all the sins and obscurations of the body become liquid like soot ash, diseases become blood, pus, and serum, and demons

观想从毛孔等处,像从水晶容器中流出的水一样,流出虱子、青蛙、蛇等各种动物,与洗涤罪障的要点相结合。之后,观想自身如水晶般清澈的自性,充满甘露,如同水晶容器盛满牛奶一般,仅仅通过观想的缘起之门,也能极大地净化罪障。最后,以强烈的悲痛呼唤“怙主”之名,说:“我因无知愚昧。”以忏悔之词忏悔之后,将金刚萨埵化为光融入自身,安住于三轮体空的状态中。此外,忏悔是净化罪障的对治法。如果隐藏和掩盖所犯的错误,就像在罪恶的种子上浇水施肥一样,只会使其增长。如果认识到错误而不隐瞒,公开坦白,力量就会减弱,永远不会增长。因此,在忏悔的对象面前不隐瞒地陈述就是坦白。以强烈的后悔之心承认所造的业是错误,就是忏悔。舍弃因自身过错而产生的羞愧和惭愧,以正直的语言恳切祈祷得到净化,这是忏悔之义的精髓。此外,一切忏悔都必须具备四力。在《四法经》中说:慈氏,菩萨若具足四法,则能压倒一切已作已积之罪。何谓四?即破坏现行力、对治现行力、遮止力、依止力。此中所说的意义也必须完备。依止力有两种:忏悔所依是诸佛总集之上师金刚萨埵,自相续之依是皈依心和祈祷自身与他人罪障清净的咒语之义。对治现行力是观想本尊、念诵咒语和观想洗涤罪障等。破坏力是像中毒一样,对所犯之罪产生强烈的后悔之心。遮止力是
