Having obtained the bliss of the four empowerments, the faithful disciple offers his body, speech, and mind with reverence to the kind guru. Thus, after the complete empowerment is bestowed, the subsequent disciples are overjoyed and moved, joining their palms at their hearts. At the time of the third empowerment, they offer the flower of wisdom, becoming inseparable from the guru's non-dual wisdom. After the empowerment is complete, offering precious jewels and other things pleasing to their minds becomes a cause for blessings to enter. In the past, the teacher's retinue had three lineages: joyful speech, moved minds, and bodies praising with joined palms. Thus, after the empowerment is complete, the guru instructs the disciple in the oral instructions. In the past, the teacher himself instructed the retinue. Later, to the disciple who has completed the empowerment, "settling" is the oral instruction of settling one's own awareness in its own place, relying on symbols and methods. It points out the key points of the object, awareness, sense faculties, and the three aspects of non-confusion. That meaning, which is beyond effort and fabrication, cannot be definitively established by words. It is not the domain of wisdom. By settling, it is the key point of the three aspects of immovability. Thus, after the preliminary oral instructions are complete, the main practice of the stainless essence is practiced in an extremely secluded place. One's own place is not a condition; one's own place is not harmed by external conditions; there are no obstacles arising; it is extremely auspicious and in accordance with one's own body. In a charnel ground where people do not travel, one asks for the oral instructions on dependent arising and practices. That is, abandoning friends, being alone and not associating with anyone, in that extremely secluded place, one remains silent, contemplating the meaning of the guru's oral instructions. Not relying on the true words and letters of the guru's supreme meaning oral instructions, one practices its meaning for a long time with the key point of impartiality between sharp and dull faculties. Thus, in the past, the teacher's retinue vowed to practice, and later, the guru's disciples vowed to practice. Having thus vowed and practiced, the appearance of increase is recognized, and the appearance of measurement occurs on the scale. Various appearances of bindus appear, as well as the measure of those unchanging bindus.

在其中,身体和导师等体验增长的显现,智慧达到顶峰。然后,认识到穷尽的特征是:所有增长的显现都没有目标,这是法性穷尽的显现。从穷尽本身,因为污垢和法穷尽而被称为佛,从自性完全清净的状态中增长。那时,所有的错觉都消失了,如果按照世俗语言来说,就被命名为果。它从哪里产生呢?从修持自性大圆满的意义中产生。因此,依仗灌顶和口诀,所依仗的友伴是誓言的依仗。超越是誓言的类别,如果超越了身语意的誓言,就会堕入金刚地狱,如果不超越,就会获得殊胜的成就。因此,必须认识到不超越它的守护界限。所谓的身体誓言是:与金刚上师兄弟,以及诸佛的身像,和所有有情众生的所依,如果以身体的行为去诽谤和损害,就会超越而失去果实,舍弃就能获得伟大的成就。所谓的语言誓言是:上师的言语和金刚兄弟,诸佛所说的话语,对于教令的决断、公正和欺骗,以及虚构的心的判断,和自他宗派的观点,如果以诽谤的言辞来直接或间接地进行,这就是以语言破坏誓言。舍弃这些就能获得成就。所谓的心意誓言是:与金刚上师兄弟,以及诸佛心意的意趣,和自住的禅定三摩地,以及诸佛的教令和口诀,如果以邪见和不净,迷惑和愚痴和不了解,以心意造作的行为,逐渐地或同时地,以颠倒的行为会失去果实。认识到这些之后,如果完全舍弃就能圆满果实。同样,作为它的助伴,对于应该保密和委托的,以及誓言物和灌顶词,上师的口诀加以印封,以及象征和金刚歌舞,应该保密和委托的,如果宣扬就会被魔所控制,完全舍弃就能获得成就。如《广大布置经》中所说,因此,认识到这些就不会超越。

Within that, the appearances of experiences such as the body and the teacher increase, and wisdom reaches its peak. Then, recognizing the exhaustion is: all the appearances of increasing experiences have no object, which is the appearance of the exhaustion of dharmata. From the exhaustion itself, because defilements and dharma are exhausted, it is called Buddha, growing from the state of self-nature being completely pure. At that time, all illusions disappear, and if it is according to worldly language, it is named as the fruit. From where does it arise? It arises from practicing the meaning of the Great Perfection of self-nature. Thus, relying on empowerment and instructions, the friend relied upon is the reliance on samaya. Transgression is a category of samaya; if one transgresses the samaya of body, speech, and mind, one will go to the Vajra Hell, but if one does not transgress, one will attain supreme accomplishment. Therefore, one must recognize the boundary of protection that does not transgress it. The so-called samaya of body is: with Vajra Master siblings, as well as the body images of all Buddhas, and the supports of all sentient beings, if one slanders and harms with bodily actions, one will transgress and lose the fruit, abandoning which one will attain great accomplishment. The so-called samaya of speech is: the words of the Guru and Vajra siblings, the words spoken by all the Buddhas, regarding the decisions, fairness, and deceptions of the teachings, as well as fabricated mental judgments, and the views of self and other schools, if one directly or indirectly engages in slanderous words, this is breaking the samaya with speech. Abandoning these, one will attain accomplishment. The so-called samaya of mind is: with Vajra Master siblings, as well as the intentions of the minds of all Buddhas, and the samadhi of self-abiding meditation, as well as the teachings and instructions of the Buddhas, if one has wrong views and impurity, confusion and ignorance and does not understand, with actions fabricated by the mind, gradually or simultaneously, one will lose the fruit by inverted actions. Having recognized these, if one completely abandons them, one will perfect the fruit. Likewise, as its companion, regarding what should be kept secret and entrusted, as well as samaya substances and empowerment words, the Guru's instructions are sealed, as well as symbols and Vajra songs and dances, what should be kept secret and entrusted, if proclaimed, one will be seized by demons, completely abandoning which one will attain accomplishment. As it is said in the Great Array Sutra, therefore, recognizing these, one will not transgress.

哦!像这样,因为没有被超越,所以脱离了守护的界限,自性大圆满的誓言是无有、唯一、平等和任运成就。像这样了解就没有缺失,即没有堕落的因。像这样没有堕落的因,所以是唯一。它无论如何都能适应,所以在平等中无论怎么做都没有堕落。它在各种各样中成就,所以是任运成就。像这样,因为修持了没有间隔和界限的意义,所以誓言没有堕落的因。像这样,用语言在先出现中宣说,所以是所说。通过先出现,眷属获得了证悟,之后依靠上师亲自所说的词句,弟子证悟了法性无生的意义。在先出现中宣说的眷属们随之欢喜,从而明显地赞颂了非隐蔽的身。之后,上师的弟子对它生起了特殊的证悟,心想:这从何而来呢?心想是从上师那里来的。因为对自己的上师有信心,所以随之进入的弟子感到满意,这是因为生起了依靠于心的特殊证悟,所以通过心满意足而获得的。他们讲述了续部的正文第三品。品的名称是:身相之相,语之语,燃烧之心之相。像这样,因为修习而产生了功德,所以在珍宝续中,从士夫之外如何出现相,所宣说的是词句和文字。品是正文的段落,是确定的意义。第三是数字,因为它与二不同。像这样,如果比三多就没有必要,如果少了,必要的意义就不完整。因为从这里显示了先前修习的相、现在的相和后来出现的相这三种,所以也确定是三。因为显示了身、语、意和语,所以也确定是三。行者的身语意也确定是三。顺序的确定是:第一是先前修习的相,因为是从最初习惯的事物中产生的,所以因为是过去,所以在先前显示。像那样的相因为能够明显地显示,所以确定在中间。从后面,从蕴的残余中到来的相是后来出现的,所以确定在最后。像这样,因为显示了续的意义汇集在三品中,所以是先出现的导师。

O! Like this, because it is not surpassed, it is free from the limits of protection, the Samaya of the spontaneously perfect great perfection is without, one, equal, and spontaneously accomplished. Knowing like this, there is no absence, that is, no cause for falling. Like this, because there is no cause for falling, it is one. It can be adapted in any way, so in equality, no matter what is done, there is no falling. It is accomplished in various ways, so it is spontaneously accomplished. Like this, because the meaning of no interval and no limit is practiced, the Samaya has no cause for falling. Like this, it is said in words in the first arising, so it is what is spoken. Through the first arising, the retinue obtained realization, and later, relying on the words spoken by the Lama himself, the disciples realized the meaning of the unborn nature of Dharma. The retinue who proclaimed in the first arising rejoiced accordingly, and thus manifestly praised the non-hidden body. Afterwards, the disciples of the Lama generated a special realization of it, thinking: From whom did this come? Thinking that it came from the Lama. Because of faith in their own Lama, the disciples who followed were satisfied, which was obtained through satisfaction because a special realization relying on the mind arose. They explained the third chapter of the Tantra text. The names of the chapters are: The sign of the body, the speech of speech, the sign of the blazing mind. Like this, because merit arose from practice, in the Precious Tantra, how signs appear from outside the person, what is proclaimed are words and letters. A chapter is a section of the text, a definite meaning. Three is a number, because it is different from two. Like this, if it is more than three, it is not necessary, if it is less, the necessary meaning is not complete. Because from here the three signs of previous practice, present, and future signs are shown, so it is also definitely three. Because it shows body, speech, mind, and speech, it is also definitely three. The body, speech, and mind of beings are also definitely three. The determination of the order is: first is the sign of previous practice, because it arises from what has already been practiced from the beginning, so because it is past, it is shown first. Like that sign, because it can be manifestly shown, it is definitely in the middle. The sign that comes from behind, from the remains of the aggregates, is the future, so it is definitely last. Like this, because it is shown that the meaning of the Tantra is gathered in three chapters, it is the teacher of the first arising.
