Just as a single drop of milk can congeal all scattered things, no matter how vast the ocean of suffering, such as the three karmas and two obscurations in the continuum of beings, once the true meaning of the secret mantra manifests, all appearances are completely purified, and this is its merit. What is the merit of relying on the secret meaning? Just as "relying on the Chakravartin King, there is no fear," for example, just as people who rely on the Chakravartin King do not fear the threat of the four armies, those who generate Bodhicitta in the Mahayana do not have the fear of suffering from wrong thoughts because their lineage does not change. What merit does one have who possesses Bodhicitta? Just as "even if a vajra is damaged, it still surpasses jewels," for example, even if a vajra jewel is broken, it can still surpass other jewels, and the merit of a broken vajra does not disappear, it can still be used to quell the suffering of hunger. Similarly, a yogi who possesses the meaning of the Mahayana, even if there are deficiencies in terms of scriptures, as long as they do not deviate from the meaning of Bodhicitta, they can surpass both the Hinayana and Mahayana. Why? Because the Hinayana need not be mentioned, the Mahayana also abides in the mind that alternates between truth and falsehood, therefore, it cannot see the boundary of non-duality, just like blocking the sky with the eye of a needle. Therefore, the wisdom that is without distinction between truth and falsehood is the true power. Therefore, once the profound meaning immediately arises in wisdom, it can eliminate the poverty of the result, because the poverty of the cause can only be eliminated by the result. If someone wonders what merit there is in generating Bodhicitta, then "a lion cub" is an example. The same goes for "the power of wisdom in the essential meaning." Even without the power of wisdom to realize the meaning of the secret mantra, one still possesses the merit of generating faith in the supreme Mahayana. To prevent the word "excessive" is to prevent errors in mere conduct. Its power, as mentioned before, can also overcome the Madhyamikas. So, if the Bodhisattvas of the Madhyamika already have many places where they surpass others, then here, can beginners also surpass them with their initial efforts? This is like the son of a commoner, even if he is physically strong and talented, he still needs to accumulate merit and go through many generations to become a great king; while the son of a king is born with the power to rule.

因为,即使行为如孩童,也能成为国王,不需要世代相传,而是直接登上王位。如同经部宗即使已经证得地,要见到密义也需要经历劫数。而这里因为有信心的种子,所以迅速地必定会进入大乘,因为二元对立的意义已经显现。因此,仅仅生起菩提心,就能使魔和外道等感到恐惧和沮丧。譬如说,即使人被砍断手脚而衰弱,也能存活。因此,即使中观的见解衰退,戒律破损,也能通过大乘密咒的方法而不堕落,并与地结合。如果方便的绳索断裂,也不会被因乘所恢复,譬如说,母牛死后,湿润的小牛无法用山羊的奶喂养存活。然而,大乘本身并非没有方便。所谓“谁掌握金刚藏,乘坐车辆等坐骑”,像这样持有殊胜大乘意义的瑜伽士,例如,在乘坐车辆和大象等坐骑时,这些坐骑除了抬起乘坐者并将其送到目的地之外,没有其他作用一样,大乘具有使瑜伽士圆满成就事业的能力。因此,大乘的坐骑瑜伽,是由诸佛亲自在头上顶戴而尊重的。从经部来看,即使在空性、无相和无愿中寻找劫数之久,佛陀也不会尊重。因为他们是否进入了甚深意境的差别,决定了证得地的快慢。因此,殊胜的大乘是诸佛的父母、导师和殊胜的供养处,安住于此也同样殊胜。因此,能瞬间见到密义,生起菩提心的功德,即使用三千世界的口舌分别述说也无法穷尽。所谓“纯白的究竟福德”,指的是如十法行和四摄等福德,如同指甲上的尘土的数量。而在此乘中,生起一瞬间的菩提心,就像大地上的尘土一样多。

Because, even if one acts like a child, one can become a king, without the need for generations to pass, but directly ascend the throne. Just as the Sutra school, even having attained the ground, needs to practice for eons to see the secret meaning. But here, because there is the seed of faith, one will quickly and certainly enter the Great Vehicle, because the meaning of non-duality has been manifested. Therefore, merely generating the mind of enlightenment (bodhicitta) will cause demons and non-Buddhists to be frightened and discouraged. For example, even if a person's limbs are cut off and they are weakened, they can still survive. Therefore, even if the view of the Middle Way declines and moral discipline is broken, one will not fall, but will be joined to the ground through the methods of the Great Vehicle Secret Mantra. If the end of the rope of skillful means is broken, it will not be restored by the causal vehicle, just as a wet calf cannot be nourished by goat's milk after its mother cow has died. However, the Great Vehicle itself is not without skillful means. The yogi who holds the meaning of the extraordinary vehicle, such as "whoever holds the vajra essence, rides in vehicles and other mounts," is like the mounts such as carts and elephants, which, when ridden, have no other function than to lift the rider and transport them to their destination. Similarly, the Great Vehicle has the power to bring the yogi's activities to perfect fruition. Therefore, the yoga of the Great Vehicle's mount is honored by the Buddhas themselves, who place it on the crown of their heads. From the perspective of the Sutra school, even if one seeks emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness for eons, the Buddhas will not honor it. Because the difference in whether or not they have entered the profound intention determines the speed at which they attain the ground. Therefore, the supreme Great Vehicle is the parent, teacher, and supreme object of offering of the Buddhas themselves, and abiding in it is equally supreme. Therefore, one can instantly see the secret meaning, and the qualities of generating the mind of enlightenment are so numerous that even if one were to describe them individually with the tongues of three thousand worlds, one could not exhaust them. The so-called "pure white ultimate merit" refers to merits such as the ten practices of Dharma and the four ways of gathering students, which are like the number of dust particles on a fingernail. But in this vehicle, generating the mind for even a moment is as numerous as the dust particles of the great earth.

无法创造显宗密宗的善根。穷尽白净方面。这些是说,积累两种显宗的资粮而圆满,就像暗室中的灯,无法见到无边无际的大智慧,只是遮障稍微薄弱而已。在此大乘中,不积累资粮而圆满,如果证悟到究竟大乘,就像末劫时世界毁灭的大火,因为从根本上清除了所有应该焚烧的东西。显现为空性的虚空是说观点的差别,显宗行者认为,以事物、缘起等来衡量的究竟,就是不生不灭的意义,清晰而不动摇,就像房屋窗户中的天空。究竟大乘,从无二元中,没有能衡量和所衡量,因此,所显示的法性,二谛解脱的意义,没有遮蔽,没有阻碍,没有偏颇,遍及一切的意义,就像究竟圆满显现的大虚空。因此,因果乘是从何处都无法创造的,也会被宣说。没有找到这样的把握,没有领会密宗的要点。现在的人,在显宗上锻炼口才后进入大乘,以及一些对密宗一窍不通的人,说因果乘与究竟的见地也没有差别,只是成就快慢的方法而已,果位也没有差别,这就像庸才无法胜任大臣的职位,这种愚昧无法达到大乘的境界,反而会败坏自己的相续。然而,大乘具有这样的功德差别,所以连随喜也不应该放弃。如果想知道事业的意义是什么,事业的波浪平息,就像空劫一样显现等等,以大方便的加持,领会了大平等的要点,脱离了分别念的痛苦,没有任何边际可以执着,所以就像空旷的世界。在这样的行境中,究竟以果位的自性充满显现,就像世界形成后安住一样。究竟又以大悲心所摄持的意义来衡量,就是因为聚集为一而像形成一样。证悟的方法,以大悲心将事物境究竟观修成无生。

It is impossible to create the roots of virtue of Sutra and Tantra. Exhausting the white and pure aspects. These say that the completion by accumulating the two types of Sutra collections is like a lamp in a dark room, unable to see the great wisdom that is boundless, only the obscurations are slightly thinner. In this Mahayana, it is completed without accumulating the collections. If one realizes the ultimate Mahayana, it is like the great fire that destroys the world at the end of time, because everything that should be burned is cleared from the root. The sky appearing as emptiness is to explain the difference in views. The Sutra practitioners believe that the ultimate measured by things, dependent origination, etc., is the meaning of unborn and unceasing, clear and unwavering, like the sky in the window of a house. Ultimate Mahayana, from non-duality, there is neither measurer nor measured, therefore, the nature of Dharma that is shown, the meaning of liberation from the two truths, is without obscuration, without hindrance, without bias, and pervades all meanings, like the great sky that appears completely perfect. Therefore, the vehicle of cause and effect cannot be created from anywhere, and it will also be preached. Such confidence has not been found, and the key points of Tantra have not been understood. People nowadays, after practicing eloquence in Sutra and entering Mahayana, and some who are ignorant of Tantra, say that the vehicle of cause and effect is no different from the ultimate view, only the methods of quick or slow accomplishment, and there is no difference in the result. This is like a mediocre person who cannot hold the position of a minister. This ignorance cannot reach the realm of Mahayana, but will corrupt one's own continuum. However, Mahayana has such differences in qualities, so even rejoicing should not be abandoned. If you want to know what the meaning of the activity is, the waves of activity subside, appearing like an empty eon, etc., with the blessing of great skillful means, understanding the key points of great equality, free from the pain of conceptualization, without any limits to cling to, so it is like an empty world. In such a realm of activity, the ultimate is filled with the nature of the fruit, appearing like the world abiding after its formation. The ultimate is also measured by the meaning of being held by great compassion, which is like formation because it is gathered into one. The method of realization, with great compassion, contemplates the object realm ultimately as unborn.

毁灭就像是崩溃一样。楞伽的主人,那些是无尽的功德。这句话如其字面意思。行为无尽,这是功德和事业共同的名称。第三十五章的解释。加持显现时也会出现。如所说,从秘密殊胜之处,先前出现的圣者以镇压大地之果的五种加持如丸般显现。第七种出现方式的解说。 然后,楞伽的统治者菩萨,等等,是第八种出现方式的回答。楞伽的主人是谁呢?就像这样,谁以何种方式传递了什么。这些通过出现的方式来近似地显示意义是:导师圆满正觉的意旨,法王的传承如水和月亮般传递,法王之子对所有眷属宣说秘密之法的本质,那如实之义在天人的处所用语言来教导,这是先前实际获得授记的众生之菩萨各自所显现的。因此,为了相信先前流传的历史,那名声又是如何呢?过去时代先前出现的是什么?那么,在世间显现的方式是什么呢?先前无数劫之前,在无数劫前,在贤劫中出现的导师,众生的殊胜时刻,难以征服的青年金刚藏,那时出现的黑色解脱,在轮回中反复出现的痛苦者,变成了鲁达拉,被调伏后,在菩提田里欢笑的时候,完全镇压和未镇压的眷属聚集的眷属中,这个秘密乘那时也被法王之子宣说了,现在也在讲述,因此,出现的方式是在一个时刻的控制下,聚集在一个时刻,没有怀疑。楞伽的主人在那个时候,那个时代,调伏傲慢者和秘密真言出现的两个时刻是一个时刻。那些没有完全认识的儿子们完全地,这些是导师调伏鲁达拉的这里作为历史讲述的是,因为具有必要目的,导师劝告那些眷属,誓言要完整,如其字面意思。在那里,为了了解眷属的真相,提问

Destruction is like collapse. Lord of Lanka, those are inexhaustible qualities. This saying is as it is in its literal sense. Inexhaustible conduct, this is a common name for qualities and actions. Explanation of chapter thirty-five. Blessings also appear when they manifest. As explained, from the secret and supreme, the blessings of the five fruits of subduing the earth by the previously appeared holy beings appear like pills. Explanation of the seventh way of arising. Then, the ruler of Lanka, the Bodhisattva, and so on, are the answers to the eighth way of arising. Who is the Lord of Lanka? Like this, who transmitted what to whom through what means. These approximate the meaning through the way of arising: the intention of the perfectly complete and enlightened teacher, the lineage of the Dharma King is transmitted like water and the moon, the Dharma King's son proclaims the essence of the secret Dharma to all the retinue, that suchness is taught in words in the realm of gods and humans, this is what appears to each Bodhisattva of sentient beings who have previously actually received prophecies. Therefore, in order to believe the previously circulated history, what is that fame like? What appeared previously in the past? So, what is the way it appears in the world? Previously, countless eons ago, before countless eons, the teacher who appeared in the Bhadrakalpa, the supreme moment of beings, the invincible youth Vajra Essence, the black liberation that appeared at that time, the suffering one who repeatedly appeared in samsara, became Rudra, after being subdued, at the time of laughing in the Bodhi field, in the retinue gathered by those who were completely subdued and not subdued, this secret vehicle was also proclaimed by the Dharma King's son at that time, and is still being taught now, therefore, the way of arising is gathered in one moment under the control of one moment, without doubt. The Lord of Lanka at that time, that era, the two moments of subduing the arrogant and the appearance of secret mantras are one moment. Those sons who are not fully recognized completely, these are what the teacher's subduing of Rudra is told here as history, because it has a necessary purpose, the teacher advises those retinues, the vows must be complete, as it is in its literal sense. There, in order to understand the truth of the retinue, the question
