The Great Perfection is established upon the tenets of mental discernment. Because it is liberated from the elaborations of thought and words, it does not abide in the conditioned Dharma of the Path Truth. Therefore, it does not abide in the way of words and terms. As stated in the *All-Creating King*: "Yoga, exceedingly genuine, Great Perfection, If one speaks saying there are causes and results, That one does not possess the meaning of realizing Great Perfection. If one speaks of two, ultimate and conventional, It is a word that imputes and slanders, That one does not realize non-duality. Even the realization of all Buddhas of the three times, Do not see duality, they realize it as a single reality." Therefore, it accords with the way of abiding of the essence of original purity, which is free from all assertions held by the Madhyamaka-Prasangika. And in that very text it says: "In the mandala of self-originated purity from the very beginning, That mandala of deities, from cause to result, Having perfected it with the four branches of approach and accomplishment, One sees it as spontaneously accomplished, the nature of gathering and dispersing." Therefore, all the three kayas along with their qualities abide in the ground, from the aspect of spontaneous accomplishment, in accordance with the intention of the final turning of the wheel and the Maitreya teachings. The qualities of nirvana, like the sun and its rays, are co-emergent from the very beginning. The qualities of appearance are the kayas, and the rays and the pure lands and the palaces, etc., and the qualities of awareness are the powers and fearlessnesses, etc., the way in which they abide as spontaneously accomplished is extremely vast, as explained in the *Buddha Avatamsaka Sutra*. And in the *Uttaratantra*, "Uncompounded and spontaneously accomplished, Not realized by other conditions." And so forth. And, "The ultimate truth of the self-arisen ones, Is to be realized by faith alone." Thus, it is taught that it is not realized by minds of subsequent inference, etc. Thus, it is taught as the Great Perfection path, just as it is. Furthermore, in the *Manjushri Oral Instructions* by the master Yeshe Zhap, "Great Perfection is the form of the entirety of wisdom, The completely pure kaya is the Great Vajradhara. The nature of all the glorious ones, with these two stages, Even in three kalpas, along with the path of suffering, Having obtained one's own corresponding supreme enlightenment, And that little bit of bliss that is greatly assembled, Why does that yogi not meditate on it?" Thus, by the lower paths such as the Paramitas, in three countless eons, having meditated with fatigue and suffering, the aspect of one's own enlightenment

即使获得了一点成就,但因为在那之上还有其他要获得的,所以不是究竟的果实。因此,为什么不去修持这无上的大圆满之道呢?应当修持啊!这是所要阐述的。布顿大师的《般若经》释论,金刚生起,吉祥胜初续部总纲中讲解因之续部时,以及《如来藏庄严》中,如来藏的安住方式如末轮和他空般详细阐述。至尊热达瓦最初将慈氏五论作为唯识的论著,并作了符合唯识的释论,后来依止寂静处,心中生起了他空的见解。如是说:因此,观见此无别自心明觉,普遍存在于一切有情之中,如地下宝藏和孕妇的胎藏等比喻,宣说一切众生皆具有如来藏。唱诵了这样的修行之歌。全知白莲认为双运是极不住的空性。双运的真实是,基位光明的心显现为幻化的显现,显现本身是不成立的空性,即极不住且不分别。果位的二身双运也必须认为是色身和刹土双运,仅仅是自空就没有这样的情况。博东班钦也立宗说,究竟的甚深中观就是他空。这样出名。此外,宗喀巴大师的上师堪布西绕瓦觉金刚,秘密主曾说过:父亲普贤的密意,母亲普贤佛母的心语,金刚持我之密语,修持大药,断定心性光明!这样说过,并且他的耳传法类全部都清楚地记载在大圆满的引导文中。此外,龙树师徒前后次第是,龙树未在人间时,无著兄弟来到,因此圣父子论著中所列举的宗派,是四宗派中的唯识宗。慈氏法等

Even if one has attained some achievement, it is not the ultimate fruit because there are other things to be attained above that. Therefore, why not practice this unsurpassed Great Perfection path? It should be practiced! This is what is to be explained. Butön's commentary on the Prajñāpāramitā, the Vajra Arising, and in the general outline of the Tantra section related to the Glorious Supreme First Tantra, when explaining the Tantra of the Cause, and in the Ornament of the Tathāgatagarbha, the way the Tathāgatagarbha abides is explained in detail like the Final Wheel and Other-Emptiness. Jetsun Rendawa initially made the Five Treatises of Maitreya as Mind-Only treatises and also made commentaries in accordance with Mind-Only, but later, relying on solitude, the view of Other-Emptiness arose in his mind. As it is said: Therefore, seeing that this inseparable awareness of one's own mind is pervasive in all sentient beings, it is said that all beings have the Tathāgatagarbha, like the example of underground treasures and the womb of a pregnant woman. He sang such a song of practice. All-Knowing Padma Karpo considers union to be the non-abiding Madhyamaka. The reality of union is that the mind of the ground-state luminosity appears as an illusory appearance, and the appearance itself is the emptiness of not being established there, that is, non-abiding and non-conceptual. The union of the two bodies of Madhyamaka at the time of fruition must also be considered as the union of the body and the pure land, and there is no such thing in mere self-emptiness. Bodong Panchen also established that the definitive profound Madhyamaka is Other-Emptiness. This is famous. Furthermore, the guru of Je Tsongkhapa, Khenchen Shyipuwa Lekyi Dorje, was told by the Lord of Secrets: The intention of Father Samantabhadra, the heart words of Mother Samantabhadri, the secret words of Vajradhara, myself! To accomplish the great medicine, cut through the luminosity of mind itself! He said this, and all of his oral transmission Dharma cycles are clearly recorded only in the Great Perfection instruction manuals. Furthermore, the order of the two Nāgas is that, when Nāgārjuna was not in the human realm, the brothers Asanga came, so the tenets listed in the treatises of the Holy Father and Sons are only Mind-Only, one of the four tenets. The Maitreya Dharma, etc.

即使是不了解无著兄弟著作的老牧人也能轻易明白。认为慈氏五论阐述了不同的宗派也是不合理的,因为《现观庄严论》阐述了三圣者心中证悟般若的次第,而其他四论则详细阐述了如来藏的安住方式。如果认为前者是自空,后四者是唯识,那更是大错特错,同时犯了邪见和诽谤两种过失。认为圣者二位的观点,即中观二派并不矛盾的,在印度有寂护论师、金洲法称、弥勒巴、阿底峡尊者等,在藏地有班禅金颜释迦乔丹、噶玛巴曲扎嘉措、大伏藏师久美多杰、大译师语自在法吉祥等,司徒确吉炯乃及其弟子们也是这样认为的。再次说道:诸佛菩萨的经典,在灰尘和黑暗之处安眠,如果连阅读都没有,像我这样的人,说这些只会让自己疲惫。然而,为了那些被至尊上师的转世所束缚,并被少数有需要的人所敦促的人,仅仅为了利益他人,愿这疲惫的书写不会变得毫无意义。如果依靠诸位智者,如实不误地看待佛陀的教言和注释的意义,并以易懂的方式进行解释时出现错误,我从内心深处忏悔。愿此也能消除对佛经意义的无知之暗,从最胜之法中获得辨别智慧,从而获得四依的微尘之眼,轻松进入遍知之地。因此,为了清晰地阐明佛教四大宗派的立场,无论如何都需要一篇简短的文章。怙主至尊无与伦比的恩德之主的化身,吉美仁增衮波的命令,我以头顶礼拜金莲花,在吉达瓦,由久美策旺秋珠恩敦丹佩写成。第二佛陀一切智语自在为主的量士夫们的教言,以易懂的方式

Even an old shepherd who doesn't understand the works of the brothers Asanga can easily understand that. It is also unreasonable to think that the Five Treatises of Maitreya explain different tenets, because the Ornament for Clear Realization explains the order in which the three noble ones realize the meaning of the Prajnaparamita in their minds, while the other four treatises explain in detail the way the Tathagatagarbha abides. If one thinks that the former is Rangtong and the latter four are Cittamātra, that is a big mistake, and one commits both wrong view and slander at the same time. Those who believe that the views of the two noble ones, i.e., the two Madhyamaka schools, are not contradictory are the teacher Shantarakshita in India, Serlingpa, Mitripa, and Jowo Atisha, etc., and in Tibet, Panchen Serdogchen Shakya Chogden, Karmapa Chodrak Gyatso, the great treasure revealer Gyurme Dorje, the great translator Ngawang Chöpal, etc., and Situ Chökyi Jungne and his disciples also think so. Again, I say: May the scriptures of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas rest in places of dust and darkness. If there is not even reading, then for someone like me to say these things will only make myself tired. However, for those who are bound by the reincarnation of the venerable master and urged by a few who have a need, just for the benefit of others, may this tiring writing not become meaningless. If, relying on the good texts of the wise ones who see the meaning of the Buddha's teachings and commentaries as they are, without error, and explain them in an easy-to-understand way, there are mistakes, I confess from the bottom of my heart. May this also dispel the darkness of ignorance about the meaning of the scriptures, and from the supreme Dharma, may I obtain the wisdom of discernment, thereby obtaining the dust-like eyes of the four reliances, and easily enter the state of omniscience. Therefore, in order to clearly explain the positions of the four major schools of Buddhism, a short article is needed in any case. The command of Jigmey Rigdzin Gonpo, the incarnation of the Lord Protector, the Lord of Unsurpassed Kindness, I worship with a golden lotus on my head, and in Gyidawa, it was written by Gyurme Tsewang Chokdrup Ngendon Tenphel. According to the instructions of the measure of beings, headed by the Second Buddha, Omniscient Ngagi Wangpo, in an easy-to-understand way.
