Do those (corpses) also read with letters? Written in the letters of other countries, using fire, earth, darkness, burdens, knots, mountains, etc., as symbolic signs, arrange them in all parts of the corpse. The corpses should be completely spread out, because they are objects of burning and purification. Fourth, what is said from "after the corpse's" to "placed by the wise" is that after the processed corpse pile is carried by the corpse-bearers and placed on a platform made of bricks, it is placed by the wise to attract wisdom, stay away from the executioner, and break through obstacles. The second part has five points: building a stove, building a cremation chamber and placing objects, placing small statues, offering the rope to the guru, and placing deities in the mandala. The first point, from "the ritual of the stove" to "divide the areas separately" is that afterwards, the stove should be built according to the ritual of the stove for the work being done. The mandala, whether large or small, should be about one cubit in circumference, which is appropriate. Here, in one manuscript it is written "what is the shape of the shoe", which is not found elsewhere. Dig down and excavate, and build upwards, also according to the rules of the tantra, build about half a cubit and do it well. There, handprints are placed, and as a place to place the deities, the central palace should also be divided with lines, and according to the mandala of the work being done, including the doors, the areas should be divided, drawn well, and the corners and other parts should be drawn evenly, and each should be built according to the Dharma. The second point, from "on top of that" to "the face indicates the direction of the corpse" is that firewood is piled on top of that, and the shape of the cremation chamber is filled with squares according to the way the four types of work are done. The corner pillars are used to stabilize the support, and it is made into a three-story shape, and it should also have a top floor and a room, and finally it is filled with firewood. After that, on the bricks of the middle room, the face of the corpse is placed facing the direction of the cremation work, the peaceful one facing east, and so on. Or, as the root tantra says: "The face of the corpse faces east," like this facing east.

Third, from "the house above the corpse" to "clearly place the mandala" it is explained: On the top floor of the house above the corpse, the mandala of the peaceful Vajradhatu mudra, written on cloth or paper, etc., is clearly placed and hung up, causing it to flutter. Fourth, from "the partition of the corpse house" to "the completion of the activity" it is explained: The partitions of the corpse house are divided into four parts on each of the four sides, and the Vajradhara's mantra ropes are tied to the four directions of the four aggregates and offered to the hands of the gurus of the four directions. Moreover, the number of mantra ropes is the same as the number of partitions, and they are divided into four types: four for pacifying, eight for increasing, six for magnetizing, three for wrathful, or all four, which corresponds to the number of gurus. These are separated by the shape of the wooden structure. According to this method, all activities are completed and perfected. Fifth, from "its outer edge" to "place the activity deities" it is explained: On the steps of the mandala between the outer edges of that wood, draw the mandala, and there place the four types of activity deities, also placing the main deity in the center and the retinue at the end.

的次第。第一有四:观察火的预兆,以及好坏的作法;用骨灰建造手印;如果出现舍利,供养于何处;总的结尾。第一,从“尸体的神识”到“好则火灌顶”之间讲述。之后,对于尸体的神识的罪障是否清净的区别,由精通火的人来解说,同样地观察火焰。如果出现不好的情况,如果不好的话,再次进行焚烧净化,并且多多忏悔。如果火焰美好且良好,则说其遮障已被焚烧,并思念已被智慧之火净化,然后为亡者进行火灌顶,并获取成就。第二,从“骨灰舍利”到“坛城等做”之间讲述。从骨灰外面,建造舍利塔和具有舍利的佛像之舍利,以及手印的坛城等,并如法进行开光。第三,从“如果是圣者”到“菩萨供此说”之间讲述。如果亡者是殊胜的瑜伽士,则观察其是否出现舍利,通过百字明咒的念诵次数来判断。如果出现舍利,则供养于上师的供养处,作为圣物,或者供养于如法修行的瑜伽士。如此行持,是身语意之业的行持中最为殊胜的。如是秘密主菩萨金刚持导师说道,并赐予教诲。秘密者如是说。第四,从“朋友们”到“应知晓”之间讲述。朋友们,应知晓这些教法是通过火的事业而完全净化的。这是讲述行为的体性。第二有二:第一,如何出现的来源次第;讲述成就舍利的方法。第一有五:从何处出现的道理,以及作用的方式;讲述加持和功德;显现于持明者和菩萨等净者;讲述舍利的差别;讲述到来的功德。

The order of. The first has four parts: examining the omens of fire and the methods of good and bad; building handprints with ashes; if relics appear, where to offer them; and the general conclusion. The first part, from "the consciousness of the corpse" to "if it is good, then empower the fire," is explained. After that, the difference between whether the sins and obscurations of the consciousness of the corpse are purified or not is explained by those who are skilled in fire, and the flames are observed in the same way. If an unpleasant situation occurs and it is not good, then burn and purify it again, and confess a lot. If the flames are beautiful and good, then it is said that its obscurations have been burned, and thinking that it has been purified by the fire of wisdom, then perform the fire empowerment for the deceased and obtain accomplishments. The second part, from "ashes, relics" to "make mandalas, etc.," is explained. From the outside of the ashes, build stupas of relics and relics of Buddha images with relics, as well as mandalas of handprints, etc., and perform the consecration according to the Dharma. The third part, from "if it is a holy person" to "the bodhisattva said this offering," is explained. If the deceased is a supreme yogi, then observe whether relics appear, judging by the number of recitations of the hundred-syllable mantra. If relics appear, then offer them to the guru's place of offering as a sacred object, or offer them to a yogi who practices according to the Dharma. Doing this is the most excellent of all the actions of body, speech, and mind. Thus, the secret lord, the bodhisattva Vajradhara, the teacher, said and gave instructions. The secret one said so. The fourth part, from "friends" to "should be known," is explained. Friends, know that these teachings are completely purified by the actions of fire. This is the explanation of the nature of the action. The second has two parts: first, the order of the source of how it appeared; explaining the method of accomplishing relics. The first has five parts: the reason for where it came from, and the way it works; explaining blessings and virtues; appearing to vidyadharas and bodhisattvas and other pure ones; explaining the differences of relics; explaining the merits of arrival.

第一,从“金刚秘密”至“事业亦如是”之间,是讲述舍利的来历。为了讲述舍利的来历,向那些已成为修持金刚秘密大乘之法的法侣们呼唤,如所说逝去者,同样,由五蕴之火净化的因缘所生,被称为舍利的舍利子,是如何产生的呢?从无数劫以前的时代起,无数的化身佛陀示现涅槃,火化遗体之后,从离思绝言的大光明智慧的殊胜加持中产生的,被称为身舍利,也就是身之真舍利或舍利子和骨灰,显现于所化众生前,作为众生积累福德的所依,为众人所知和显现。那么,佛陀有实物吗?佛陀的体性是远离有无二边的,没有任何言说的表相,在法身广大周遍中,身舍利和骨灰的实物,不被认为是自性存在的,所以不可能以具有确定性的相状出现。然而,为了利益所化有情,为了引导的必要目的,从秘密的、无实性的、自性任运成就的法界中,以大悲的奇迹示现,因此显现于具缘者前。同样,在任何世界的任何佛陀之身出现舍利的方式,就像现在此娑婆世界显现的明灯,化身佛陀释迦牟尼佛示现涅槃后的身舍利,也被称为舍利子。那舍利的福德之所依,或生起信心或信仰,引导众生的事业,也如所说的那样。第二,从“彼等”至“被称为最佳药物”之间,讲述了彼等总摄的佛陀们,即释迦牟尼佛之前和未来,先前有自生的光音佛等,之后现在安住、圆满后出现的弥勒佛,以及之后的狮子佛等一切佛陀的身

Firstly, from "Vajra Secret" to "Actions are also the same," it explains the origin of relics. To explain the origin of relics, calling out to those who have become Dharma siblings in practicing the Great Vehicle of Vajra Secret, just as it is said that the deceased, similarly, what arises from the cause of purification by the fire of the five aggregates, the Sharira called relics, how do they arise? From the time before countless eons, countless emanation Buddhas manifested Nirvana, and after cremating the remains, from the supreme blessing of the great, inexpressible wisdom, what arises is called the body relic, which is the actual body relic or Sharira and cremains, appearing before the beings to be tamed, known and appearing to all as the basis for accumulating merit for beings. So, do Buddhas have objects? The nature of the Buddhas is free from the extremes of existence and non-existence, without any elaborations or characteristics, in the vast and pervasive Dharmakaya. The objects of body relics and cremains are not regarded as self-existent, so it is impossible for them to appear with definite characteristics. However, in order to benefit sentient beings to be tamed, for the necessary purpose of guidance, from the secret, insubstantial, and spontaneously accomplished realm of reality, it manifests as a miracle of compassion, therefore appearing to all fortunate ones. Similarly, in whatever world, the manner in which relics arise from any Buddha's body is like the lamp appearing in this Saha world, the emanation Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha's body relic after manifesting Nirvana is also called Sharira. That relic is the basis of merit, or generates faith or belief, and the activities of guiding beings are also as described. Secondly, from "Those and others" to "Known as the best medicine," it speaks of those Buddhas who are gathered together, that is, before and after Shakyamuni Buddha, previously there were self-arisen Buddhas like Light Sound, and later, Maitreya who now abides, is complete, and appears, and all the Buddhas including the Lion Buddha, etc., their bodies
