。此生将毫无意义地度过。无常的朋友,也会摧毁雍仲佛法。因此,对于像我这样愚笨的人来说,既不能满足他们的欲望,也不能依靠神圣的解脱之法来实现目标,所以首先必须独自一人待在远离人烟的森林山中修行。正如经文所说:既然他没有为我做任何事,我也不会为他做任何事,所以应该远离愚人。这是应该思考的。此外,即使听闻了上师的教诲,如果没有在心中反复练习,也无法从轮回中解脱,所以反复练习非常重要。关于依止寂静处的教诲是:如果内心没有获得稳固,就会被外境所迷惑,所以应该欢喜地住在寂静的森林中。像这样,在内心和教诲融为一体,尚未获得稳固之前,喧嚣会带来危害,所以初学者应该只依止寂静处。宝积经中说:初学者为了使内心平静和调伏,应该住在寂静处。关于在有生之年依止寂静处的教诲是:当所有人都走向无人之境的寂静处时,恐惧也会驱使人们走向寂静。只要这个由四人抬起的身体,还没有发出腐烂的声音,我就要完全倾向于寂静的寺庙,从而战胜身心喧嚣的敌人。迅速思维无常的本性,在寂静处修持禅定。寂静语中说:只要这个身体还没有被四个人抬到棺材里,就要完全倾向于寺庙,修持寂静的禅定。与此相符,《入行论》中也有阐述。赞美森林是:现在讲述森林的功德。森林里有干净的水、繁多的花朵和果实,有岩山的洞穴和石板房。在茂密的树荫下,众多的鸟类和动物在嬉戏。水边的花朵和蜜蜂歌唱,非常美丽。像这样,森林的中心非常美好,树木的阴影

This life will be spent in vain. Impermanent friends will also destroy the Yungdrung Dharma. Therefore, for foolish people like me, neither can their desires be fulfilled, nor can they achieve their goals by relying on the sacred Dharma of liberation, so first one must stay alone in a secluded forest mountain, away from people, and practice meditation. As the scripture says: Since he has not done anything for me, and I will not do anything for him, one should stay far away from fools. This is what one should think about. Furthermore, even if one has heard the teachings from the precious guru, if one has not practiced them repeatedly in one's mind, one cannot be liberated from samsara, so repeated practice is very important. The teaching on relying on a solitary place is: As long as the mind has not gained stability, it will be greatly deceived by external objects, so one should joyfully dwell in a solitary forest. Like this, before the mind and the teachings become one and stability is not gained, noise will bring harm, so beginners should only rely on solitary places. The Jewel Heap Sutra says: Beginners should dwell in solitude in order to calm and subdue their minds. The teaching on relying on solitude for as long as one lives is: When everyone goes to the solitary place where no one is, fear will also drive people to solitude. As long as this body, carried by four people, has not made the sound of decay, I will completely turn towards the peaceful monastery, thereby overcoming the enemies of the body and mind's noise. Quickly contemplate the nature of impermanence and practice meditation in a peaceful place. The Words of Solitude say: As long as this body has not been carried by four people into a coffin, one should completely turn towards the monastery and practice peaceful meditation. In accordance with this, the Bodhisattvacharyavatara also explains it. Praising the forest is: Now I will tell the merits of the forest. The forest has clean water, many flowers and fruits, caves in rocky mountains and slate houses. Under the dense shade of trees, many birds and animals are playing. The flowers and bees by the water sing, which is very beautiful. Like this, the center of the forest is very beautiful, the shade of the trees

被各种鲜花点缀,青草和黄色的草覆盖着大地,凉爽的溪水声和蜜蜂嗡嗡的声音充满其间。悬崖边和石板上的宫殿是天然形成的。清澈的溪水只用树叶和鲜花装饰的食物就足够了。与鸟类和鹿一起感到快乐,在那禅修之地一起居住,是从无始以来心中善良的愿望的实现。《入行论》中说:在森林里,鹿和鸟,树木不说不悦耳的话。与那些感到快乐的生物,何时能一起居住?在洞穴或空旷的寺庙,或树下安顿下来,何时能不回头看,没有执着地离去?没有占有任何地方,在自然宽广的地方,自由自在地生活,没有执着,何时我能安住?因此,在那非常令人愉悦的森林里,轻松愉快,平息一切散乱,我将独自居住。还有,远离争斗和烦恼,在寂静的森林里,幸运者在月光和檀香的清凉中,宽阔的石板宫殿令人愉快。无声寂静的森林摇曳着,心中想着利益他人而行走。还有,《亲友书》中说:被圆满的月轮装饰,腰间系着浓密的雨云,在那山顶森林的空地上,没有执着,像风一样飘动是长寿的幸运。森林的空地被鹿群所依,处处令人愉快美好,那里有什么快乐?在那令人愉悦的森林女神的怀抱中,即使是在滴水的石板上也能存在吗?讲述在寂静之处生起无常之理:在那地方,有圆柏和各种檀香的香气,以及从根和花中散发出的香气,香和药等的香味弥漫。寂静而令人愉快,禅修自然增长。四季令人愉悦,像莲花湖一样,夏季、秋季、冬季和春季依次变化,无常感和悲伤增长。

Adorned with various flowers, the earth covered with green and yellow grass, filled with the sound of cool streams and the buzzing of bees. The palaces on the cliffs and stone slabs are naturally formed. Clear streams are content with just food decorated with leaves and flowers. Living together with birds and deer in that place of meditation is the fulfillment of a wish for goodness in the mind from beginningless time. As it says in the *Bodhicharyavatara*: In the forest, deer and birds, the trees do not speak unpleasant words. With those beings who feel happy, when will I live together? In a cave or an empty temple, or settling under a tree, when will I not look back, leaving without attachment? Without possessing any place, in the naturally vast places, living freely and without attachment, when will I abide? Therefore, in that very delightful forest, easy and happy, pacifying all distractions, I will live alone. Also, devoid of strife and afflictions, in the peaceful forest, the fortunate ones, in the coolness of moonlight and sandalwood, the wide stone slab palaces are delightful. The silent, peaceful forest sways, walking with the thought of benefiting others. Also, as it says in the *Letter to a Friend*: Adorned with a full moon, with a girdle of thick rain clouds, in that forest clearing on the mountaintop, without attachment, to move like the wind is the fortune of long life. The forest clearing is attended by herds of deer, everywhere delightful and beautiful, what happiness is there? In the embrace of that delightful forest goddess, can it even exist on a dripping stone slab? Telling the way in which impermanence arises in a solitary place: In that place, there is the fragrance of junipers and various kinds of sandalwood, and the fragrance emanating from roots and flowers, the scent of incense and medicine, etc., pervades. Solitary and delightful, meditation naturally increases. The four seasons are delightful, like a lotus lake, summer, autumn, winter, and spring change in succession, increasing the sense of impermanence and sadness.

我如充满莲花的大海,药和鲜花的香味弥漫,清凉的微风轻柔地吹拂。时序变迁的例子,使强烈的无常和悲伤在心中生起。与任何人都没有联系和亲近,因此没有贪恋和憎恨,也不需要执着。即使居住,也不依赖他人,不需要看人脸色。无论做什么,都不会感到匆忙。无论何时离开,都不会对他人产生依恋,也不会被他人挽留,拥有自由的快乐,即使是天神也难以获得。如《入行论》中所说:在空屋、树下、洞穴中,随心所欲地居住多久都可以,远离了侍奉和守护的痛苦,无所依赖地自由自在地生活。自由自在地生活,没有贪恋,与任何人都没有关联,知足常乐的快乐,即使是天神也难以获得。如《亲友书》中所说:森林、清澈的河流、舒适寂静的岸边,有什么比这更快乐的呢?难道是天女涂抹着香气,佩戴着兰花的装饰,以及常开的鲜花,以美丽压倒天神的姿态吗?具备根、果、皮、叶等各种丰盛的树木,无所依赖的森林,山间清凉的溪流,没有执着的处所。宽广的河流边,果实和鲜花散落,美好的边境,还有什么没有呢?为何要被地狱般的家庭所欺骗而住在那里呢?宽广的山谷中,没有喧嚣的人群,非常舒适。广阔的受用,茂盛的森林,翠绿的树木连绵不断。清澈的河岸,源头流淌的声音,如鼓声般悦耳,仿佛在告诉我们这里不是烦恼之地。战胜了欲望、财富和三有之王的,将它们说成是幻觉、阳焰、水月和波浪。如此等等。在那里,心变得容易调伏的方式是:在那里,看到一些死去的人,坟墓中散落着骨头,我的身体也将是如此的状态,将会看到是分离的自性。对于没有实义的轮回,远离任何欢喜的念头。没有争斗和烦恼,恒常寂静,自己的心就能获得容易调伏的安乐。对轮回生起厌离心。

I am like a sea filled with great lotuses, the fragrance of medicine and flowers pervades, and a cool breeze gently blows. The example of the changing seasons gives rise to strong impermanence and sadness in the mind. There is no connection or intimacy with anyone, so there is no attachment or hatred, and there is no need for clinging. Even when residing, one does not rely on others and does not need to look at their faces. No matter what one does, one does not feel rushed. Whenever one leaves, one does not become attached to others, nor is one detained by them, possessing the happiness of freedom, which even the gods cannot obtain. As it is said in the "Entering the Path of the Bodhisattva": In empty houses, under trees, in caves, reside as long as you wish, abandoning the suffering of serving and guarding, living freely without dependence. Living freely, without attachment, without connection to anyone, the happiness of contentment is difficult even for the gods to obtain. As it is said in the "Letter to a Friend": What is more joyful than a forest, a clear river, a comfortable and secluded bank? Is it the daughters of the gods, anointed with fragrant scents, adorned with garlands of orchids, and the ever-blooming flowers, with beauty that surpasses the appearance of the gods? Possessing trees abundant with roots, fruits, bark, and leaves, a forest without dependence, a cool stream flowing from the mountains, a place without attachment. On the banks of a wide river, adorned with scattered fruits and flowers, what is lacking in this delightful border? Why be deceived by a hellish household and dwell there? In a wide valley, without the noise of crowds, it is very comfortable. Vast resources, lush forests, and verdant trees are connected in a continuous chain. The clear riverbank, the sound of the flowing spring water, as melodious as the sound of a drum, seems to proclaim to us that this is not a place of affliction. Those who have conquered desires, wealth, and the kings of the three realms, have declared them to be illusions, mirages, reflections of the moon in water, and waves. And so on. There, the way in which the mind becomes easy to tame is: There, seeing some who have died, bones scattered in the cemetery, my body will also be in such a state, and it will be seen as having a nature of separation. For the cycle of existence, which has no essence, keep far away any thoughts of joy. Without strife and affliction, constantly peaceful, one's own mind can obtain the ease of being easily tamed. Generate weariness towards samsara.

以及争论和烦恼的平息等无量功德。如《殑伽经》所说:山和森林令人心生欢喜,是功德的来源,能使功德增长。依靠住在寂静处,能完全舍弃对五欲的贪恋。因此,由于没有喧嚣,善法不会衰退。由于不互相拜访、交谈和说话,空寂、寂静、寂静处,被诸佛所赞叹。因此,菩萨们应当时常依止寂静处,不要贪恋城市。如是说。依止森林的利益是:功德圆满之相,这样的森林被诸佛所赞叹。因厌离轮回而趋向寂静处,仅仅舍弃七步的功德是:以恒河沙数劫的时间供养诸佛,以劫为单位供养的功德堆积,也比不上之前的功德的百分之一、千分之一。因此,应当依止寂静的森林。例如,有些人用财物在劫中供养诸佛,不如以厌离之心,在森林等寂静处欢喜地行走七步,功德更大。如《圣妙吉祥根本续》所说:有些人用鲜花、焚香、食物和舒适的用品,在劫中供养一切诸佛,不如以极度厌离之心趋向寂静处,仅仅舍弃七步,这比前者有不可估量的功德堆积。彻底舍弃对身体和生命的执着,应当修习空性和寂静。以精进和极度精进之心,像鹿一样住在寂静处。如是说。如何修习的差别以及功德的解说:现在解说修习禅定的方法。在森林中,在那里,在垫子上跏趺坐稳,一心不乱地平等安住。像孩子一样辨别罪行之义,同样修习如来善妙的禅定。应当了知四禅和四无色定,以及未入道和已入道的圣者的三种禅定的名称。因此,舍弃对欲妙的贪恋之心,明智和现量

and the pacification of strife and afflictions, and so on, are infinite qualities. As stated in the Ganges Sutra: Mountains and forests are pleasing places, they are the source of qualities and cause qualities to increase. By relying on dwelling in solitude, one completely abandons attachment to the five desires. Therefore, since there is no commotion, virtuous Dharma will not decline. Since one does not visit each other, converse, or speak, emptiness, solitude, and quietude are praised by the Buddhas. Therefore, Bodhisattvas should always rely on solitary places and not be attached to cities. Thus it is said. The benefits of relying on forests are: the aspect of perfect qualities, such forests are praised by the Victorious Ones. Turning away from samsara and heading towards solitude, the merit of abandoning just seven steps is: offering to the Buddhas of the Ganges sand kalpas, the accumulation of merit from offering for kalpas, cannot match one hundredth or one thousandth of the previous merit. Therefore, one should rely on peaceful forests. For example, some people offer material goods to the Buddhas for kalpas, but it is more meritorious to abandon the mind of weariness and joyfully walk seven steps in a solitary place such as a forest. As stated in the "King of Samadhi Sutra": If someone offers flowers, incense, food, and comfortable items to all the Buddhas for a kalpa, it is better to turn towards solitude with extreme weariness, abandoning just seven steps, this has an immeasurable accumulation of merit compared to the former. Completely abandon attachment to body and life, and cultivate emptiness and peace as supreme. With diligence and extreme diligence, dwell in solitude like a deer. Thus it is said. How to explain the differences in practice and the qualities: Now, I will explain the method of cultivating samadhi. In the forest, there, sit cross-legged on a cushion, and remain unwavering and equanimous with a one-pointed mind. Like a child discerning the meaning of wrongdoing, likewise, accomplish the noble samadhi of the Tathagata's virtue. One should know the names of the four dhyanas and the four formless absorptions, as well as the three samadhis of the noble ones who have not entered the path and those who have entered. Therefore, abandoning the mind of delight in desirable qualities, wisdom and direct perception
