Therefore, because the mind does not stray from the three poisons, in this world realm called "Maitreya," the teacher residing in the field of the lamp, like a vajra, whose body is extremely hard, and who destroyed the army of demons, the Buddha Shakyamuni, like the rising of the sun and moon, among beings, especially when humans have a lifespan of one hundred years, manifested as an emanation body, and the time was not too long, residing for a period of eighty-two years, in accordance with the beings to be tamed. In order to encourage the lazy to be diligent and to dispel constant expectations, the supreme body like a vajra, like the setting of the sun and moon, will not appear in the world, and considering to completely enter into Nirvana. Because the Licchavi people of India are powerful, there will be no obstacles to dividing the relics, so in the city called Vaishali, he dwells together with many retinues, including the fourfold assembly. After three months of summer have passed, he will completely pass away on the fifteenth day of the first month of autumn, and in order to leave the teachings, instructions, and three vows as a testament to the disciples of the world, among the assembled common retinue of monks, he especially ordered the great disciple, the son of Maudgalyayana, who is known for his great magical powers, to gather the retinue. "O magician, go now or go to the ten directions of the six realms, wherever my disciples reside, gather all those who are inclined towards the Buddhist tenets and who believe in my teachings, no matter how many there may be. There are instructions that must be firmly remembered in the wisdom gathered before your eyes!" Thus he spoke, ordering that the testament be left behind. This is the first part. The second part is from "The magician" to "Everything else was gathered." Then, the magician, in the time it takes to whirl a white mustard seed, used the magical power of speech that everyone could understand in an instant of Dharma, and proclaimed four verses, thereby gathering everyone, the content of which is as follows: In the six realms that have become the field for taming by the Victorious One, whoever is to be tamed, whoever is certain of this Dharma and is inclined to understand its meaning, please listen, all who have gathered! Today, the Victorious One, the Lord of Sages, will leave the three nectars of shamatha and vipashyana combined as a testament. With shamatha, anger; with vipashyana,

地基啊！以业之尽头，贪欲即三毒，为了摧毁，愿一切汇集于此！如是宣告后，除了五种圣族聚集之外，即是说，因修习甚深法性，于咒之大禅定中，如实安住，以大乘种姓决定而策励之大兰卡之主，具慧方便者等。 还有龙王顶上有宝者，名为安住者，即智慧海。 梵天，持海螺发髻者，智慧无边。 夜叉，星箭面者，智慧信解。 居士，名号无垢者，智慧寂静。 此五者，因知晓导师无生灭，故未于佛前聚集。 除了此五者之外，所有共同眷属皆知晓如来入灭之遗嘱将出现，故聚集于此。 第三，从“此后聚集”至“如是宣说”之间所阐述的内容是：此后，导师对那些聚集者如是宣说：喂！呼唤之后，面容转向，心念自性，朋友们，当知晓！轮回之法皆因造作故，为无常。 一切财富终将衰败。 一切由因缘所生的事物，必将坏灭。 众生之命根有生有死，故与所化众生之显现相符，能仁我亦将入于涅槃，诸位眷属中，若有未断除疑惑者，可在此提问，断除疑惑！如是宣说。 第二部分分为二：请问之仪轨与正式请问。 第一部分，从“眷属聚集于彼”至“如是禀告”之间所阐述的是：此后，聚集于彼之眷属，持明之王，名为仙人昆扎ra者，共同而言为阿难，不共同而言为金刚手。 彼从自身之座起身，以向上看、无畏、慑服、具威仪四种姿态，如狮子之视线般瞻仰导师之面容，如是禀告。 第二部分分为五：先前经典中未曾宣说密咒之故。

O ground base! By the end of karma, craving, the three poisons, to destroy them, may all gather here! Thus proclaimed, apart from the gathering of the five noble families, it is like this: By meditating on the profound Dharma nature, truly abiding in the great meditation of mantra, with the determination of the Great Vehicle lineage, the great encourager, the lord of Lanka, the wise and skillful, and so on. Also, the Naga king with a jewel on his head, named Abiding One, namely Ocean of Wisdom. Brahma, with a conch-shell crest, boundless wisdom. Yaksha, with a star-arrow face, wisdom and faith. Layman, known as Immaculate, wisdom and serenity. These five did not gather before the Teacher because they knew that the Teacher had no birth or death. Apart from these five, all the common retinue, understanding that the testament of the Buddha's passing would appear, gathered here. Thirdly, from "Then gathered" to "Thus he spoke" is what is taught: Then, the Teacher spoke to those gathered: "Hey!" After calling out, turning his face and contemplating the nature, "Friends, know this! All phenomena of samsara are impermanent because they are made. All wealth will eventually decline. All things born from causes and conditions will surely perish. Since the life force of sentient beings has birth and death, in accordance with the appearance of those to be tamed, I, the Muni, will also pass into Nirvana. Among you, the retinue, if there are any who have not resolved their doubts, ask here and resolve your doubts!" Thus he spoke. The second part is divided into two: the manner of questioning and the actual questioning. The first part, from "The retinue gathered there" to "Thus he requested," is what is taught: Then, the retinue gathered there, the king of vidyadharas, named Sage Kunjara, commonly known as Ananda, and uncommonly as Vajrapani. He rose from his seat, and with the four postures of looking up, fearlessness, subjugation, and dignity, like the gaze of a lion, he looked at the face of the Teacher and requested these words. The second part is divided into five: Because the secret mantra was not previously taught in the sutras.

后来询问了如何出现的情况，询问了三个教诲，询问了如何归纳解脱的乘，询问了导师逝世后什么适合作为明灯，询问了用什么来断除邪见。第一，从“您是虚空的自性”开始，到“未曾宣说决定的乘”之间所阐述的：导师您的本体如同虚空的自性，安住于非造作的法身，没有逝世与不逝世的戏论。不离此而对调伏者显现圆满报身，虽然没有完全逝世，但为了顺应调伏世间众生，示现化身涅槃之举，以完全调伏之方便而行事，意即虽然自性不变，但赞叹以顺应之方便来调伏。能仁您如明灯般照亮此世间界调伏者的无明黑暗，驱散所有天人世间广大而深厚的无明黑暗，以及业、烦恼、所知二障，从而使心之坛城光明、自性清净得以显现，以譬喻之方式赞叹了您的事业。实际的提问是：通过修持十地和四种或八种解脱，能够获得三种菩提果位的众生之根源，对于引导这三种乘，即声闻、缘觉、菩萨三种根性的调伏对象，如何依次安排，从而使安住于声闻、缘觉、菩萨三地的行为得以圆满。然而，如实证悟见解大平等性，行持上无取舍，不从心之法性之外寻求大菩提果，以能摧毁死亡毒害之自成圆满殊胜方便，通过众多、广大、巧妙、殊胜、宽广、简易、迅速之门，开示了方便的无量差别，因此，恳请宣说以前未曾在共同眷属中宣说过的殊胜的决定大乘密咒藏，这是第一个请求。

Later, inquiries were made about how things would arise, three instructions were requested, how to summarize the vehicles of liberation was asked, what would be suitable as a lamp after the teacher's passing was inquired, and what would cut off wrong views was asked. First, from "You are the nature of the sky," to "The definitive Great Vehicle has not been spoken," it is shown that: Teacher, your essence is like the nature of the sky, abiding in the unconditioned Dharmakaya, without the elaboration of passing away or not passing away. Without moving from that, you appear as the Sambhogakaya to those whose minds are pure, and although you do not completely pass away, you show the act of the Nirmanakaya passing into Nirvana as a way to harmonize with and subdue worldly beings, intending to act through the means of completely subduing them. It means that although your nature does not change, you are praised for subduing through harmonious means. Thukpa, you have risen as a lamp to dispel the darkness of ignorance of the beings to be tamed in this world, dispelling all the vast and dense darkness of ignorance of the worlds of gods and humans, as well as all the obscurations of karma, afflictions, and knowledge, thereby making the mandala of the mind clear, luminous, and naturally pure. Having praised your deeds through examples, the actual question is: How are the three types of beings, namely Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas, who can attain the three stages of enlightenment by practicing the ten bhumis and four or eight liberations, arranged in order to lead to the source of these three vehicles? How can the actions of those who abide in the three stages of Shravaka, Pratyekabuddha, and Bodhisattva be perfected? However, having realized the view of great equality as it is, acting without acceptance or rejection, and not seeking the great fruit of enlightenment from anything other than the nature of the mind, through the spontaneously perfect supreme means of destroying the poison of death, through the doors of many, great, skillful, superior, vast, easy, and swift means, you have shown the immeasurable differences of means. Therefore, please speak about the excellent definitive Great Vehicle, the treasury of secret mantras, which has never been spoken to the common assembly before. This is the first request.

哦。第二，从“圣者的意旨三个词”到“将确定的智慧置于何处”之间进行了解释。圣者的深奥意旨，通过寂止和胜观，阐述了三边之义，因此，这三个词的表达方式，如果未曾在口诀的文字中预先说明，那么后世那些心智狭小、被黑暗蒙蔽的人们，又将把确定的意义的智慧置于何处呢？这是献上的第二个请求。第三，通过“解脱的三乘”到“何处汇集，于何处，由何者汇集”进行了解释。从轮回和二边中解脱的三乘，即珍贵的律藏，其意义的本质汇集于何处？汇集于哪个基础之上？又将由哪个作者来汇集呢？这是献上的第三个请求。第四，通过“照亮世界的太阳西沉时”到“将由何灯来照亮”进行了解释。照亮世界的太阳西沉，即导师逝世之后，未来由哪个灯，也就是哪个摄政者，如实地阐释意义呢？这是献上的第四个请求。第五，通过“当教法衰败时，异端派的”到“将由何者来降伏”进行了解释。如果导师不住世，那么对于那些破坏教法的、成为邪见派别的魔和外道等内外论敌，将由哪个士夫来作为降伏的对治呢？这是献上的第五个请求，如此祈请道。第三部分是关于续部的实际意义，分为两部分：妥善给予并接近展示，以及续部意义的详细阐述。第一部分，从“世尊说道”到“就像这样”之间进行了解释。此后，世尊说道：大持明者昆扎拉，你妥善地请求，这对于自身是有益的。你提出的五个问题，对于他人是非常有益的。因此，答案也就像这样，获得了允许。第二部分分为四点：第一个问题的答案是密咒产生的十二种方式；第二个问题的答案是阐述三种口诀；第三个问题的答案是解脱之乘的汇集方式；第四个和第五个问题的答案是共同由圣种姓者来完成。第一：彼

O! Secondly, it is explained from "The Victorious One's intention, three words," to "Where will the definite wisdom be placed?" The profound intention of the Victorious One, through tranquility and insight, elucidates the meaning of the three extremes, therefore, these three expressions of words, if not previously stated in the letters of the instructions, then where will those of later generations, with small minds and obscured by darkness, place the wisdom of definite meaning? This is the second request offered. Thirdly, it is explained through "The three vehicles of liberation," to "Where is it gathered, on what, by whom is it gathered?" The three vehicles of liberation from samsara and the two extremes, the precious Tripitaka, where is the essence of their meaning gathered? On what basis is it gathered? And by whom will it be gathered? This is the third request offered. Fourthly, it is explained through "When the sun that illuminates the world sets," to "By what lamp will it be done?" When the sun that illuminates the world sets, that is, when the teacher passes away, in the future, by what lamp, that is, by what regent, will the meaning be explained as it is? This is the fourth request offered. Fifthly, it is explained through "When the doctrine is destroyed, by the heretical factions," to "By whom will the opponents be subdued?" If the teacher does not remain, then for those internal and external opponents such as demons and heretics who destroy the doctrine and become factions of wrong views, by what person will the antidote of subduing be done? This is the fifth request offered, thus he pleaded. The third part is about the actual meaning of the tantra, divided into two parts: well given and closely shown, and the detailed explanation of the tantric meaning. The first part, it is explained from "The Bhagavan said," to "Like this." Then, the Bhagavan said: Great Vidyadhara Kunjara, your well-made request is beneficial for yourself. Your five questions are very beneficial for others. Therefore, the answer is also like this, permission was granted. The second part is divided into four points: the answer to the first question is the twelve ways in which mantras arise; the answer to the second question is the explanation of the three instructions; the answer to the third question is the way of gathering the vehicles of liberation; the answer to the fourth and fifth questions is that it is commonly done by those of noble lineage. First: That
