Therefore. Why is it called "Bardo"? Whatever disappears, whatever appears at that time, Because it exists for a moment, it is Bardo. This sentence establishes the definition: the momentary stream of consciousness between the disappearance of the previous life and the non-arising of the next, appearing as an illusory body. The number of names is: The nature of the seven realms disappearing, It is also called "The disappearing existence." This is the beginning of beings, every seven weeks, the body disappears, which is in most cases. "Seven is the middle" and so on, existing after seven days, so it is called "Middle Seven." Food follows the scent, According to its behavior, the scent-seeker comes near. These are all common. It arises depending on the former, so it arises from that. Holding the fleshly shape of what will be born, Having the appearance of previous and later flesh. Making the life of the next life manifest, so it is the manifestly accomplished one. In the Bardo, it always revolves around food, so it is the one who revolves nearby. It is the middle of the previous and later lives, so it is the connector. Because it has form, Therefore, the formless realm has no place for it. These explanations are in terms of the desire realm and the form realm, the formless realm has no Bardo. Why is that? Because there is no previously existing fleshly appearance. Therefore, there is transference from the formless realm, and there is also existence when being born in the two realms. What does the Bardo like? The existence that exists there, For the previously destroyed existence, That and not that is equanimity, Attachment, hatred, and habituation to the three, Whatever one was previously attached to, Manifestly rejoices in that time and that. That is to say, the sentient being in the Bardo has the three consciousnesses experienced by the previously dead body, that is, through practicing virtuous, evil, and indeterminate actions. Because of the previous habituation to actions related to the three poisons, one rejoices in the previously increased action. For example, a virtuous person also likes to practice virtue and so on during the Bardo. Its fruition also follows, which is a general case. Why is that? Because some, like the monk of the fourth dhyana, accumulate evil deeds in the Bardo and fall into evil destinies. The place where one previously practiced good and evil in life, Whatever it becomes, it will appear. That is to say, the Bardo will appear in high and low places.

其征兆是：前世所行善恶业力强弱所显现的征象。见到的方式是：那些如同在梦中见到一样，所见之境显现为实境。例如，像在梦中见到征兆一样，所见之境就变成了进入的实境。那时，会显现出各种模糊不清的景象。为了分别指示这些，如果是不具备安乐之缘者，如果他住在那里，如果那天晚上，出现低劣的征兆是：看到蠕虫等生物。等等，对于不具备善业的众生，如果住在中阴，那个中阴之后会堕入恶趣的征兆是：看到许多与自己同类，将要出生的恶劣之处的众生，听到喧闹的声音，看到被芦苇覆盖的地方，茂密的森林，以及收集其他东西，即黑暗、云、雾、菜园，各种难闻的气味，难吃的食物，充满浑浊水的恶劣水池，以及进入被浓密乌云覆盖的地方的征兆。然而，这不是自生的，而是自己业力所致的不清净之心的显现。如果这里是清净之地，出现高贵的征兆是：寂静的地方和悦耳的声音，心和感官都感到满足。等等，如果行善之人住在中阴，出现向上提升的征兆，就像字面意思一样。与自己同类的是转轮王等，会见到自己将要出生的同类。从出生的类别来看，从湿热中出生的如昆虫等的，中阴身如何受生，以及出现什么样的征兆呢？住在那个地方的精华，因为执着于欲望，所以追随任何产生气味的地方，对于我和他人产生气味的地方。

The signs of this are: the signs that appear due to the strength of the white and black deeds performed in the previous life. The way to see them is: seeing those as in a dream, the very seeing becomes manifest as a place. For example, seeing signs as in a dream, whatever is seen becomes the actual place to enter. At that time, premonitory signs like seeing blurry shapes will appear separately. Furthermore, in order to show them separately, if one does not possess the conditions for happiness, if one dwells there and that night, the premonitory signs of a lower birth are: seeing creatures like worms, etc. Etc., for a being who does not possess virtuous deeds, if one dwells in the intermediate state, the sign that the intermediate state will later fall into a bad rebirth is: seeing many beings of the same kind as oneself who will be born in a bad place, hearing noisy sounds, seeing places covered with reeds, dense forests, and collecting other things, namely darkness, clouds, fog, vegetable gardens, various unpleasant smells, bad food, bad ponds filled with muddy water, and the sign of entering a place filled with thick clouds. However, this is not self-generated, but an impure manifestation of the mind due to one's own karma. If this is a pure place, the premonitory signs of a higher birth are: a peaceful place and pleasant sounds, satisfaction of mind and senses. Etc., if a virtuous person dwells in the intermediate state, the premonitory signs of rising upwards are just as the words say. Those of the same kind as oneself are wheel-turning kings, etc., one will see those of the same kind as oneself where one will be born. In terms of the types of birth, how does an intermediate being born from heat and moisture, such as insects, take birth, and what kind of signs appear? The essence dwelling in that place, because of attachment to desire, follows wherever a smell arises, to places where smells arise for me and others.

因此会生起满足感。如果经常闻气味和多次交合，心会变得僵硬，对中阴身产生憎恨。由于这个原因，中阴身会经历七年的寿命。当中阴身的福报耗尽，对来世产生执着时，它会投生到那些为了气味而追逐的地方，比如那些看起来不好的身体，如昆虫等。同样地，无论投生到哪里，一旦身体成长起来，由于不同的因缘，那些与自己相似的众生也会在中阴状态中看到。关于如何获得身体：中阴身需要依靠温暖和湿润等因素的平衡来执持。这是由于对它们的执着所致。如果没有温暖和湿润，就不会投生为昆虫等，中阴身会像天空中的尘埃一样存在。由于具备了所有投生的条件，所以能够看到自己将要投生的处所。即使那些地方远在数里之外，去那里也不会有任何阻碍。这不是因为眼睛看到并感知到，然后才决定去那里。而是因为先前积累的业力推动着它前进，仅仅通过意识到那个地方就到达了，所以没有长短的道路之分，也没有任何阻碍。其理由是，无论中阴身要投生到哪里，去那里都不会有任何阻碍，因为它的活动范围不像现在这个物质身体的活动范围。那么，从子宫和卵中出生的中阴身是如何看到和出生的呢？有些人由于强烈的执着，会看到与自己相似的众生。他们会看到在某个地方有交合的行为发生，而这正是他们投生的地方。然后，中阴身会生起执着，到达那个地方，停留在那里，并不放弃对执着的思考和分析，由于这种执着的原因，自己也会生起强烈的执着。由于执着，他们看不到真相，所以他们也会看到自己在行欲。例如，就像幻术师变出的男人和美丽的女人相遇一样，他们也会看到自己在行欲。无论在哪里，当那些人相遇并交合时，那个景象会清晰地显现出来。如果他们接受了停留的部分，就会产生对出生的欲望。
English
Therefore, satisfaction will arise. If one frequently indulges in smelling and engages in numerous acts of intercourse, the mind becomes rigid, and hatred arises towards the intermediate state body. Due to this cause, the intermediate state experiences a duration of seven years. When the merit of the intermediate state is exhausted, and attachment to the next life arises, it leads to rebirth in those places where one follows after scents, such as those with unpleasant bodies like insects. Similarly, wherever one is born, once that body has grown, due to various causes, those beings similar to oneself are also seen in the intermediate state. Regarding how to take a body: it is reasonable for the consciousness of the intermediate state to grasp onto the balance of factors such as warmth and moisture. This is due to the power of attachment to them. If there is no encounter with warmth and moisture, one will not be born as insects, etc.; the intermediate state remains like dust in the sky. Because all the conditions for rebirth are complete, one sees the places where one will be born. Even if those places are far away, like leagues, there is no obstruction to going there. It is not that one sees and perceives with the eyes and then decides to go there. Rather, it is because the power of previously accumulated karma propels one forward, and one arrives simply by being aware of that place, so there is no long or short path, and there is no obstruction. The reason for this is that wherever the intermediate state body is to be taken, there is no obstruction to going there, because its sphere of activity is not like that of the present material body. So, how does the intermediate state being born from the womb and egg see and take birth? Some, due to the strength of their attachment, see beings similar to themselves. They see an act of intercourse taking place in a certain place, and that is where they will be born. Then, the intermediate state arises with attachment, goes to that place, stays there, and does not abandon thinking and analyzing about that attachment. Due to this cause of attachment, one's own attachment also arises intensely. Because of attachment, they do not see the truth, so they also see themselves engaging in desire. For example, just as a man conjured by a magician and a beautiful woman meet, they also see themselves engaging in desire. Wherever those people meet and engage in intercourse, that scene clearly appears. If they accept the part of staying, the desire for birth arises.

我。意思是父母相遇时，会看到精子在母亲的子宫中结合。如果从中出生的是女孩，那么就会对精子的来源父亲产生欲望。如果出生的是男孩，那么就会对精子的处所母亲产生欲望。想要离开所处的位置，想要与所处的位置分离。将要发生的事情也是如此。在哪里不想要，就在哪里显现。意思是如果出生的是女孩，就想要与女性分离，如果出生的是男孩，就想要与男性分离的心念产生。想要离开自己所是的那个形象，就会只看到那个形象。因为对那个形象的执着和控制。除了处所和来源的征相之外，其他什么都不会显现。因为他看到那个，与那个交合。因此对那个不满意。那个心念，那个延续中断之后。凭借什么，对什么，如实地。以执着在那里抓住有。意思是，由于对男女产生贪恋执着。除了处所是女人的性器官和来源是男人的性器官之外，其他的性器官都不会显现。然而，这只是大多数情况，也有同时具有两种性器官的阴阳人。中阴身看到那个征相之后。中阴的征相以贪恋的心与那个交合，然后产生嗔恨，因此对后来者产生贪恋。由于两者的影响，中阴显现为男女的延续中断之后。例如，就像蜜蜂抓住花朵一样，以贪恋，两种精子抓住中阴的意识。意识被精血的增长所覆盖，被粗大的身体所抓住。为了名和色聚合的缘故。无论是什么，那个以粗大的身体抓住。这样说。如果问，将要下地狱的中阴身是如何出生的？无论哪个下劣的众生，都是七个中阴身。杀戮和意义的习惯被叠加。无论在哪里，无论是什么，就在那个位置。杀戮等等就会显现。无论哪个，当他看到那个的时候。立刻意识到以前习惯的事情。心想这是要被杀的对象，就朝那里跑过去。等等。无论谁，将要下地狱的有的中阴身。以前因为贪嗔而习惯杀生的习气增加，变得强大。因此，在地狱的中阴身所处的地方，也只会看到杀生等等的恶业。像这样行为的中阴身一看到。那个立刻因为以前习惯的原因，业的习气被那个因缘唤醒，杀

I. It means that when parents meet, it will be seen that the sperm combines in the mother's womb. If a girl is born from this, then desire will arise for the source of the sperm, the father. If a boy is born, then a mind of desire will arise for the place of the sperm, the mother. Wanting to leave the place where one is, wanting to be separated from the place where one is. What is going to happen is also like that. Where one does not want to be, that is where it appears. It means that if a girl is born, she wants to be separated from women, and if a boy is born, the thought of wanting to be separated from men arises. Wanting to leave the form of what one is, one will only see that form. Because of attachment and control over that form. Apart from the sign of the place and the source, nothing else will appear. Because he sees that, and unites with that. Therefore, he is dissatisfied with that. That thought, that continuity, after it is interrupted. By what, to what, as it is. With attachment, there he grasps existence. It means that due to the arising of attachment and desire for men and women. Apart from the place being the woman's sexual organ and the source being the man's sexual organ, other sexual organs will not appear. However, this is only the majority of cases, and there are also hermaphrodites who have both sexual organs. After the intermediate state being sees that sign. The sign of the intermediate state unites with that with a mind of desire, and then hatred arises, therefore desire arises for the later one. Due to the influence of both, the continuity of the intermediate state appearing as male and female is interrupted. For example, just as a bee grasps a flower, with attachment, the two sperms grasp the consciousness of the intermediate state. Consciousness is covered by the growth of sperm and blood, and is grasped by the coarse body. For the sake of the aggregation of name and form. Whatever it is, that grasps with the coarse body. It is said like that. If asked, how is the intermediate state being who is going to go to hell born? Whichever inferior being, there are seven intermediate state beings. The habit of killing and meaning is superimposed. Wherever, whatever it is, in that place. Killing and so on will appear. Whichever one, when he sees that. Immediately realizing the things he was used to before. Thinking that this is the object to be killed, he runs towards there. And so on. Whichever one, the intermediate state being of existence who is going to go to hell. The habit of killing due to greed and hatred before increases and becomes powerful. Therefore, in the place where the intermediate state being of hell is, he will only see evil deeds such as killing. As soon as the intermediate state being who acts like this sees. That immediately, because of the reason he was used to before, the habit of karma is awakened by that cause, kill
