Those who are attached to sectarian views, have no faith in the Mahayana, have weak understanding, are prone to dullness and agitation, do not strive in learning, are very ignorant, have wrong views about the Mahayana, break their vows, these fourteen are the causes of turning away from the Mahayana. Because the root of the Bodhi seedling of the mind has rotted, and the rope is cut from the depths, it is certain that they will fall into the lower realms, going headfirst like an overturned pot. Even though they speak of the meaning of secrets, they do not understand the hidden secrets. To those who are cunning, self-righteous, and proclaim everywhere: etc. Although they only speak the meaning of mantras to others, because they do not have the confidence of the view of mantras, they pretend to be cunning, thinking they are very clever, arrogant, and explain mantras to others. To all these bad vessels, they also especially proclaim the secret Dharma that should be kept secret—the tantras. Even if they only hear the words of the four branches of the practice of the deity, they do not know how to practice them truthfully, do not put them into practice, and cannot keep what the guru has secretly entrusted. The secret essence of these people leaks from their bodies, and they wander in samsara, which is the characteristic of having holes in the soles of their feet. Even though they speak of the three precious treasures of view, vows, and conduct, they cannot escape the extreme of attachment. etc. Although they verbally promise to be the gate of secrets, and verbally say that view, vows, and conduct are like this, some people, because they have not deeply contemplated these three themselves, and because their knowledge has not transcended ordinary people, their minds are tormented by deception, jealousy, and stinginess, and they only verbally affirm and proclaim the great nature that is free from effort. To those who have the view and samadhi of the Mahayana, they slander and say: Your view is inferior. The root and branch vows of these people have been broken, so they have the opportunity to wander in samsara, going to places of suffering, which is the characteristic of a broken vessel. Spying on behavior, measuring others, quoting special words, flattering, being two-faced, distorting right and wrong. To those who slander the ignorant holders of vows: etc. Some people, after entering the gate of the Mahayana, spy on the behavior of others, speak arrogant words and special words, flatter,

如果有人说话前后不一,诽谤上师和朋友,却不明白其中的过患,这就是违犯誓言的厉鬼。他们为了在今生获得更大的利益,偷窃同门师兄弟姐妹的财物,进行欺骗、虚伪、诱惑,为了财物而追随世俗的知识。他们只懂一些密咒的词句,就自以为是,伪装成别人的上师。这些人心中怀着剧毒,会堕入地狱,这就是毒器的特征。像这样对于堕落的恶器,最伟大的秘密就是那个秘密本身,因为它深奥且难以衡量。因此,即使向这些在四种容器方面贫乏、缺乏实义成果的堕落恶器传授这种甚深难测的续部,他们也会堕入恶道,无法解脱。所以,不要对他们说秘密。为什么呢?因为这就像把两只小牛一起扔进悬崖,两者都会在漫长的轮回中被烧毁和折磨,因为一个的因是由另一个造成的。‘瑜伽士精通明晰且有意义’,这句话是指瑜伽士心中怀有嫉妒的恶念,这只是字面意思。‘瑜伽士行为如法且是圣洁的’,这句话是指对于如法修行的瑜伽士,进行诽谤和扰乱其心,这要按照字面意思来解释。‘福薄的瑜伽士,根本誓言破损且有缺陷的自性’,等等,那么,那些业障深重、福报浅薄的瑜伽士,以及那些根本誓言破损的人,他们的特征是什么呢?就是怀有恶念的幻术,极度愤怒和残暴,以及进行引善引恶的猛烈行为。‘那些一无所知的人’,这句话也是字面意思,指的是依止恶劣的上师。‘那些对圣者中的圣者’,等等,哪些瑜伽士安住在伟大的慈悲、戒律和忍辱之中,具有这大乘的誓言,行为吉祥,正直地遵循这样的续部,并且如此行持的瑜伽士,是成就伟大菩提的唯一原因。不能成就的原因是:‘对于那些没有意愿的人,像猴子一样行持誓言,却想获得菩提的精髓’,这些人无论如何

If someone speaks with a double tongue, slandering both the lama and friends, and does not understand the faults of doing so, they are possessed by the evil spirit of samaya. They do this in order to desire greatness in this single lifetime, stealing the wealth and possessions of their Dharma brothers and sisters, engaging in deceit, trickery, deception, and enticement, following after worldly knowledge for the sake of material things. They only know a few words of secret mantra, yet they boast of their knowledge and pretend to be teachers to others. These people harbor great poison within them and will be born in hell, which is the characteristic of a poisonous vessel. Like this, for a failed, evil vessel, the great secret is that very secret, because it is profound and difficult to fathom. Therefore, even if one teaches such a profound and unfathomable tantra to these failed, evil vessels who are impoverished in the four types of vessels and lack the fruit of meaning, they will fall into evil destinies and will not be liberated. Therefore, one should not speak secrets to them. Why is that? Because it is like throwing two calves tied together off a cliff, both will be burned and tormented throughout the eons, because one's cause is made by the other. 'The yogi is skilled, clear, and meaningful,' this refers to the fault of harboring envious evil thoughts towards the yogi, which is just the literal meaning. 'The yogi's conduct is proper and holy,' this refers to the fault of slandering and disturbing the mind of a yogi who practices properly, which should be explained according to the literal meaning. 'The yogi with little merit, whose root vows are broken and whose nature is flawed,' and so on, what are the characteristics of those yogis with heavy karma and little merit, and those whose root vows are broken? They are the illusion of evil thoughts, great anger and ferocity, and engaging in fierce actions that lead to both virtue and evil. 'Those who are ignorant in their behavior,' this is also the literal meaning, which refers to relying on a bad lama. 'Those who are the holiest of the holy,' and so on, which yogis abide in great love, discipline, and patience, possess the vows of this Great Vehicle, behave auspiciously, uphold the teachings of such a tantra in a straightforward manner, and the yogi who acts in this way is the sole cause of attaining great enlightenment. The cause of not attaining it is: 'For those who have no desire, behaving like monkeys with their vows, yet wanting to obtain the essence of enlightenment,' these people, no matter what

不信奉行为的瑜伽,像猴子一样随意地守护根本和支分的誓言,这样成就菩提是不可能的。秘密主自己也未曾见过在未来任何时候会发生这样的事,因为过去也未曾发生过,所以要如法行持。如来之子瑜伽士!等等,因为不了解有学识且如法的瑜伽士而诽谤,会堕入地狱。不了解的瑜伽士!等等,那些愚昧之人不尊敬、不学习贤者,而是追随贪恋财物的上师,只看重获得,这是错误的。对于他们来说,圣洁瑜伽的享用无法积累,也无法在任何时候知晓大菩提的利益。那么他们做什么呢?他们贪恋财物,为了用欺骗手段获得的恶劣利益,即使是微小的食物或财富,也愿意赌上性命去追求。他们处于大饿鬼的境地,非常可怜。因此,为了不让心远离正法,具有圣洁瑜伽的自性,如瓶中之灯!等等,那些没有错误的伟大瑜伽士的意行是,例如瓶中的灯一样,虽然对正确的意义的理解很清晰,但像猫用爪子取物一样,隐藏深刻的意义,用隐秘的方式利益他人。因为巧妙的方法不显眼,所以普通人不会认为他们有功德,也不会尊重他们。这就像身上佩戴珍宝的人和一无所有的人同处一地,从外表上看,人们会认为他们一样,没有区别。因此,如果像这样实践秘密,就能迅速成佛。因为即使说出来,如果对方不接受,也无法成就。凡是赞颂此者,等等,名称就像声音一样。这是因为他们专注于根本誓言而说的。为了更接近地说明这一点:无论如何行走,等等,例如,如果有人赞美珍宝的功德,但当别人问他自己是否有这种珍宝时,他回答没有,因此无法消除贫困。

Not believing in the yoga of conduct, and guarding the root and branch vows haphazardly like a monkey, achieving enlightenment is impossible. Even the Lord of Secrets has never seen such a thing happen at any time in the future, because it has never happened in the past, so practice properly. O yogi who has become a son of the Victorious Ones! Etc., because of not understanding the learned and proper yogis, they slander them and fall into hell. The yogi who does not understand! Etc., those ignorant people do not respect or learn from the wise, but follow the gurus who are attached to wealth and possessions, and only look at what they can gain, which is wrong. For them, the enjoyment of sacred yoga cannot be accumulated, nor can the benefits of great enlightenment be known at any time. So what do they do? They are attached to wealth, and for the sake of the evil gains obtained by deception, they are willing to risk their lives to pursue even a small amount of food or wealth. They are in the realm of the great pretas, and are very pitiful. Therefore, in order not to let the mind stray from the meaning, possessing the nature of sacred yoga, like a lamp inside a vase! Etc., the intention and conduct of those great yogis who are without error is that, like a lamp in a vase, although the understanding of the correct meaning is clear, they hide the profound meaning like a cat taking something with its claws, and benefit others in a concealed way. Because the skillful method is not obvious, ordinary people do not see them as having merit and do not respect them. It is like a person wearing jewels on his body and a person with nothing living in the same place, from the outside, people will think they are the same, without any difference. Therefore, if the secret meaning is practiced in this way, enlightenment will be very quick. Because even if it is spoken, it cannot be achieved if the other person does not accept it. Whoever praises this, etc., the name is like sound. This is because it is said with a focus on the root vow. To illustrate this more closely: However one walks, etc., for example, if someone praises the qualities of a jewel, but when others ask if he himself has this jewel, he answers that he does not, and therefore cannot eliminate poverty.

就像能力一样。同样,不精进的瑜伽士,这些词语就像字面意思一样。据说,如果没有誓言,即使说出功德也不会成就。瑜伽士和持法者们,对于那些违背神圣誓言的瑜伽士,施加惩罚并驱逐,以及解脱的功德,都如字面意思一样。例如,在某个地方,有些人,例如,为了近似地说明,国王制定法律的地方,如果有人违反了国王的法律,那么国王的大臣不会随意放过他,而是根据国王的法律来处决他。执行国王法律的大臣这样做,就像国王的心腹,所有百姓都看到,并在全国范围内广为人知一样,瑜伽士也应如此。如果在花园里长出毒树,例如,如果在花园里长出毒树,主人一旦认出是毒,就立即将其连根拔起。如果不拔除,毒性蔓延,主人就会死亡,所以要拔除。同样,那些堕落的有毒之人,具有行为苦行的人会以严厉的手段,将他们送到即使以年来计算也无法到达的地方。那些伪装成慈悲,贪图物质,与堕落之人交往,并成为他们的庇护和朋友的人,是密咒的大邪魔,永远没有从金刚地狱中解脱的机会。实际上,任何瑜伽士,对于那些深刻的誓言,瑜伽士以合乎道理的方式行事,即使无意中犯了一些错误也不会堕落,这就像字面意思一样。即使是这样,所有这些,即使这样无意中犯错,果报也很小。甚至不要和那些人有任何直接的接触,即使在梦中也不要相遇。为什么少量的牛奶,会像腐烂一样使所有的牛奶都腐烂呢?这些都是因为与堕落者相遇和交往的过失,就像字面意思一样。那些在轮回的战场上获胜的人,要避免堕落。如果不避免,护法神会施加严厉的惩罚,结果会堕入大地狱,这就像字面意思一样解释。那么,密咒的清净容器是什么样的呢?

It is like ability. Similarly, the yogis who do not strive, these words are just as they are. It is said that without vows, even speaking of merits will not be accomplished. Yogis and dharma holders, for those yogis who violate the sacred vows, imposing punishments and expelling them, and the merits of liberation, are all as the literal meaning. For example, in a certain place, some people, for example, to illustrate approximately, in the place where the king makes laws, if someone violates the king's law, then the king's ministers will not let him go arbitrarily, but will execute him according to the king's law. The ministers who enforce the king's law do so, just like the king's confidants, all the people see, and it becomes widely known throughout the country, so should the yogis also. If a poisonous tree grows in the garden, for example, if a poisonous tree grows in the garden, the owner, as soon as he recognizes it as poison, immediately uproots it. If it is not uprooted, the poison will spread, and the owner will die, so it must be uprooted. Similarly, those fallen poisonous people, those with ascetic conduct will use harsh means to send them to places that cannot be reached even by counting in years. Those who pretend to be compassionate, are greedy for material things, associate with fallen people, and become their refuge and friends, are the great demons of the secret mantra, and there is never a chance of liberation from the Vajra Hell. In reality, any yogi, for those profound vows, the yogi acts in a reasonable way, even if he unintentionally makes some mistakes, he will not fall, this is just like the literal meaning. Even so, all these, even if they unintentionally make mistakes, the karmic result is small. Do not even have any direct contact with those people, not even in dreams. Why does a small amount of milk, like rotting, make all the milk rot? These are all because of the faults of encountering and associating with the fallen, just like the literal meaning. Those who win on the battlefield of samsara, must avoid falling. If they do not avoid it, the Dharma protectors will impose severe punishments, and the result will be falling into the great hell, which is explained just like the literal meaning. So, what is the pure vessel of secret mantra like?
