It is like the situation mainly in the first two yogas. Moreover, combine prophecy and history. In short, in the "Cemetery Cuckoo Playing Sutra" it says: The premonitions of obtaining the supreme empowerment, dreams will surely appear. Gaining control over one's own mind, as well as various illusions, being controlled wherever one goes, walking with supernatural powers, walking on the ground without obstruction, sinking into water without obstruction, flying in the sky like a bird, saving many sentient beings, and winning on the battlefield, etc. If you see these, it must be the premonition of the five empowerments of Vajradhara. Obtaining the supernatural powers of the body, the wheel jewel descending into the hand, becoming the king who is the master of the land, taking the Vajra Guru as refuge, preaching the Dharma to other beings, becoming the guru of the assembly of yogis, and becoming the leader of all, etc. Seeing these dreams is the premonition of the empowerment of the wheel-holder. Enjoying various jewels, eating various foods, decorating and wearing special clothes, and giving these to others as well, listening to and contemplating the supreme Dharma, hearing various sounds, hearing words never heard before, and these and other aspects are the premonitions of the empowerment of Ratnasambhava. Playing in the lotus pond, playing and eating lotuses there, obtaining profound scriptures, explaining and reading there, preaching the Dharma to sentient beings, being surrounded by the monastic community of monks, and these and other signs are the empowerment of Vajra Dharma. Entering into all activities, holding a sword in hand, circling the summit of Mount Meru, grasping the sun and moon with hands, killing and being killed, and winning, and clinging to various vehicles, and these and other signs are the premonitions of the empowerment of various Vajras. No matter how many dream signs there are, no matter how one dreams and sees, or sees nothing at all, all clear manifestations can be taken as premonitions of the common empowerment. As it is said, as it is. Third, what is explained from "Friends" to "not retreating" is: Friends, the ripening of the fruit produced by the degree of empowerment is like this: whichever empowerment is obtained, when the corresponding Dharma ripens, the experience of view arises, thereby blessing

伟大和慈悲产生，为了自己和他人的利益而显现行为，实际上就是获得灌顶后听闻等等。正如《总集经》中所说：灌顶的程度是这样的，对于具有信心和侍奉的人，授予听闻秘密的巨大灌顶。如果四种事业的意义圆满，就能获得进行各种事业的灌顶。如果通过观察的目标而见到法，就能获得讲述传承的灌顶。如果具备能克服障碍的三种量，就能获得上师金刚阿阇黎的灌顶。如果对于所有三个殊胜的宝藏，都能毫无偏颇地讲述，就能获得遍一切处国王的灌顶。这些也被认为是成熟的程度。特别是，与自己的道相结合，就像下面将要出现的那样。获得灌顶后，因为任何不能做的事情都圆满了，所以对于任何事情都不会感到畏惧，因为不会从意义上感到畏惧，所以不会重复，因此以后不需要再次授予。第四个是，从“朋友们啊！”到“获得本身！”之间所显示的。呼唤“朋友们啊！”，获得灌顶后，会获得哪五种名声呢？就像这样：成为所说的四条河流的先前传承的持有者；从没有获得灌顶的世间道和其他乘，因为获得灌顶而变得特别殊胜；灌顶的意义本身，如四条河流等等，与上师的程度的特征不分离地具备；对于传承的词义，以及殊胜的三宝藏，以及通过事业调伏众生的方法都精通且熟悉；以及所要灌顶的种姓之河、灌顶之河、口诀之河、体验之河这四种差别全部获得本身。这些与五种瑜伽的次第也没有矛盾。因此，那些与什么和什么如何出名一样地结合。第五个是，从“朋友们啊！”到“焚烧！”之间所显示的。从“朋友们啊！”到“不给予灌顶的障碍和遮蔽，就像河流的浑浊一样，是什么呢？”总而言之，就是这四种，就像这样：没有正确地授予，以及不具备法器，以及时机未到，以及没有信心、恭敬和功德，因此就不能获得灌顶。正如根本续中所说：没有法器，没有精髓，一切皆空，那不是获得灌顶。

Greatness and compassion arise, and actually engaging in manifest actions for the benefit of oneself and others, such as listening after receiving empowerment, is like that. As it says in the Kun Dus: 'The measure of empowerment is like this: To those who are faithful and attend, bestow the great empowerment of listening to secrets. If the meaning of the four actions is complete, one obtains the empowerment to perform all actions. If one sees the Dharma through the object of observation, one obtains the empowerment to explain the lineage. If one possesses the three valid means that can overcome obstacles, one receives the empowerment of the Vajra Master. If one knows how to explain all three sacred treasuries without bias, one obtains the empowerment of the universal king.' These are also said to be the measure of maturation. In particular, combining it with one's own path, as will be explained below. Having obtained it, because whatever one cannot do is perfected, one is not afraid of anything, and because one is not afraid of the meaning, one does not repeat it, so there is no need to bestow it again later. The fourth is indicated by the passage from 'Friends!' to 'The attainment itself!' Calling out 'Friends!', what are the five kinds of fame that one will gain by receiving empowerment? They are as follows: Being the holder of the previous lineage of the four rivers that have been spoken of; being particularly superior to worldly paths and other vehicles that have not received empowerment because of having received empowerment; the very meaning of empowerment, such as the four rivers, etc., being inseparably endowed with the qualities of the level of a lama; being skilled and accustomed to the meaning of the words of the tantras, the three sacred treasuries, and the methods of subduing beings through activity; and having obtained all the distinctions of the four rivers to be empowered: the river of lineage, the river of empowerment, the river of precepts, and the river of experience. These are also not contradictory to the order of the five yogas. Therefore, combine those according to how and to what they are known. The fifth is indicated by the passage from 'Friends!' to 'Burning!'. From 'Friends!' to 'What are the obstacles and obscurations that prevent empowerment, like the turbidity of a river?' In short, there are four aspects: not having been properly bestowed, not being a suitable vessel, the time not being right, and not having faith, respect, and qualities, one cannot obtain empowerment. As it says in the Root Tantra: 'Without a vessel, devoid of essence, all empty, that is not obtaining empowerment.'

如是说。因无能力故，不生起灌顶者，如云：无密忘念不生灌顶。如是说。因无信心与誓言故，灌顶不沾染者，如云：无散昏沉灌顶不染。如是说。具邪见与诽谤者，灌顶焚烧之，如云：无信慧劣乃大欺，于伪装者作截断，是说彼为灌顶所焚。如是所说之义。第六，何为相耶？从“何为相耶”至“生起也”之间所示。如法获得灌顶之相为何耶？即此四种相，此乃于一切处因功德而闻名生起，乃欲求之境况。以善妙之行持与认知，较先前之行境更向上转变而生起，乃大种姓之境况。因加持与口诀及缘起之能力转为强大，故轮回断绝，他人不能胜伏，且无有怖畏，自宗稳固而坚固，乃大气之境况。所修事业与悉地一切显现，且功德圆满生起，亦显现为大教证与大威力之境况。如是应作区分。第七分二，总说，别说以灌顶而得之理。初者，从“诸友”至“获得也”之间所示。呼唤“诸友”后，初获之理为何耶？即此，金刚国王上师赐予头饰等物而作灌顶，由此获得，及以自之明觉能力而获得也。此等共通于一续与异续二者。二者，从“诸友”至“无上炽燃获”之间所示。呼唤“诸友”后，彼亦以灌顶而得之理，应如是知晓而获得，即于此处，安住于五道之上位上位之殊胜上师们，对成为灌顶之悲悯或慈悲之境之学子，即安住于五道之下位下位者们，为利益于证悟与特殊能力，而分别生起五种加持之任何一种灌顶，乃次第首先是欲乐思惟之瑜伽士，从资粮道之初

As it is said. Because of lacking the capacity, the empowerment does not arise, as it is said: "Without secrecy, forgetfulness, empowerment does not arise." As it is said. Because of lacking faith and samaya, the empowerment does not stain, as it is said: "Without distraction, dullness, empowerment does not stain." As it is said. Those with wrong views and slander are burned by the empowerment, as it is said: "Without faith, with weak intelligence, greatly deceiving, for the pretender, a cut is made, it is said that they are burned by the empowerment." This is the meaning that is shown. Sixth, what are the signs? From "What are the signs?" to "arising" is shown. What are the signs of properly receiving the empowerment? These are the four aspects: this is the state of desiring to arise, being famous for qualities everywhere; with good conduct and awareness, arising as a transformation upwards from the previous field of conduct, is the state of great lineage; because the power of blessings, instructions, and interdependence becomes strong, samsara is cut off, others cannot overcome, and without fear, one's own doctrine is stable and firm, is the state of great breath; all the accomplished actions and siddhis manifest, and qualities arise completely, also appearing as the state of great scripture and great power. Thus, it should be distinguished. Seventh, there are two parts: general explanation, and specific explanation of how to obtain through empowerment. The first part, from "Friends" to "obtained" is shown. After calling "Friends," what is the way to show the first attainment? This is it: the Vajra King Lama gives ornaments and so on, and empowers, thereby obtaining, and also obtaining through one's own intellectual ability. These are common to both one tantra and different tantras. The second part, from "Friends" to "obtained the supreme blazing" is shown. After calling "Friends," the way to obtain through empowerment is to be known and obtained in this way: here, the excellent Lamas who reside on the higher and higher of the five paths, for the students who have become the object of empowerment's compassion or loving-kindness, who reside on the lower and lower of the five paths, in order to benefit realization and special abilities, the empowerment of any of the five blessings that arise separately, is, in order, first the yogi of desire and thought, from the beginning of the accumulation path.

对于那些人，施予十二部经的法本灌顶，因为这是听闻和学习的基础。这里所说的十二部经是显密共通的，其合理性在全知丹巴仁波切的著作中有所阐述。对于那些开启大种姓之道的瑜伽士，应修习方便与智慧、显现与空性无二之义。为了利益自他，施予象征日月形象的灌顶物，授予方便与智慧无别的殊胜灌顶。另一种方式是施予方便与智慧的菩提心。对于那些亲眼见到自性，能够发出大呼吸，超越五怖畏的见道者，为了以转轮王的装束利益自他，依靠七宝灌顶物，必定获得享用二利圆满的殊胜灌顶。对于那些通过安住于见道之义而获得三大预言的瑜伽士，即修道者，施予并灌顶以被圣者们不变之意加持过的雍仲圣物，即八吉祥物的灌顶物，从而圆满获得殊胜灌顶。对于那些成就神通等大力量的圆满瑜伽士，即修道终结者，凭借十力压制违逆，以十大力量的殊胜之处，必定获得殊胜灌顶。对于那些超越一切地，或者到达顶峰，安住于圆满总持地的圣者，依靠珍宝顶饰千光闪耀的灌顶物，即十三顶饰，进行灌顶，从而获得圆满无上的殊胜灌顶。如此这般，这些是根据各自的能力和相应之处而施予的。第八，从“意旨总集”到“不会被看见”之间所阐述的是：如果未经灌顶，就擅自解释这部汇集诸佛意旨的伟大秘密续部，其过失在于：纵观一切佛语

To those, bestow the empowerment of listening by offering the empowerment substances of the twelve branches of scriptures, for it is the basis of listening and learning. Here, the twelve branches of scriptures are common to both Sutra and Tantra, and its rationale is explained in the writings of the omniscient Dampa Rinpoche. To those yogis who open the path of the great lineage, meditate on the meaning of the inseparability of skillful means and wisdom, appearance and emptiness. For the sake of benefiting oneself and others, bestow the empowerment substance which is the form of the sun and moon, and bestow the supreme empowerment of the indivisibility of skillful means and wisdom. Alternatively, bestow the Bodhicitta of skillful means and wisdom. To those who directly see their own nature, exhale great breaths, and are on the path of seeing, having transcended the five fears, in order to accomplish the benefit of oneself and others with the ornaments of a Chakravartin king, relying on the seven precious empowerment substances, one will definitely obtain the supreme empowerment to enjoy the perfection of the two benefits. To those yogis on the path of meditation who have attained the three great prophecies by abiding in the meaning of seeing, bestow the empowerment substances of the eight auspicious symbols, blessed as Yungdrung substances by the unchanging mind of the holy ones, and by bestowing them, one will perfectly obtain the supreme empowerment. To those accomplished yogis on the final path who have perfected great abilities such as siddhis and powers, by the distinction of the ten great powers that subdue the dissimilar with the ten strengths, one will definitely obtain the supreme empowerment. To those holy ones who have transcended all grounds or have reached the summit and abide on the ground of complete consummation, by relying on the empowerment substance of a jewel crest blazing with a thousand lights, the thirteen-part headdress, and bestowing it, one will obtain the supreme empowerment of complete and unsurpassed consummation. Thus, these are bestowed according to their respective abilities and corresponding aspects. Eighth, from "Intentions Gathered" to "will not be seen" is explained: If one interprets this great secret Tantra, which gathers all the intentions of the Buddhas, without having received empowerment, the fault is: looking at all the teachings of the Buddha
