即使全身被切割也要死去，也不要听信那些下劣之语！这样教诲道。像这样，对于本初光明之义的研讨，这些都极其深奥而广博。若以不依传承口诀的臆想分别念，纵经长劫研讨也无法领悟丝毫。若能善加领悟，则能解开大乘显宗因果之所有深奥要点，是无与伦比的殊胜大法。犹如世间难得一见的乌昙婆罗花。像这样阐明此论典的诸位持明传承的圣众们，即使以身如尘土般供养，也难以报答其恩德，更何况是其他人呢？因此，我这个出生于宁玛派末流的卑微者，也以自己的理解，将全知上师的教言以结集的方式整理成一部论典。在此过程中，除了为了上下文连贯，添加了一两个过渡性的词语和少许必要的引文之外，没有用自己的臆想分别念篡改任何字句。这有上师的亲笔手稿为证。然而，上师随时涌现于心中的教言记录稿数量众多，而且那些记录也仅仅是上师为了自我启发而记录的要点纲要，并未详细阐述，因此语句非常简略，难以理解。又因我自身天生和后天学习的功德都极其浅薄，上下颠倒、错乱之处，以及不合时宜之处，肯定会有。因此，恳请从法王班禅上师的教言中诞生，并对深奥之处充满自信的善金刚道友们仔细审阅并加以修正。同时，也恳请各位大圆满传承的伟大持教者们，像对待珍贵的传家之宝一样珍视这部深奥的法，对非器者保密，对具器者广为传播。并从这部根本论典中开启成百上千善说之门，使此世间在词句和意义上都能不衰退而弘扬光大。我恳切地祈请各位承担起这样的重任。如果能这样做，那么（此论典的意义）就能像经部一样广博。

Even if one were to die after being completely cut apart, one should not listen to those inferior words! Thus, it is taught. Like that, these discussions on the meaning of primordial luminosity are extremely profound and vast. If one were to contemplate them with conceptual thoughts devoid of the lineage's oral instructions, even after aeons of contemplation, one would not be able to realize even a fraction of it. If one were to realize it well, one would be able to unravel all the profound key points of the Great Vehicle's causal and resultant tenets. It is an unsurpassed, wondrous, great Dharma, like the udumbara flower, which is difficult to find in the world. Even if one were to offer one's body as numerous as the dust particles of the fields to the assemblies of victorious vidyādharas who have clarified such a treatise, it would be difficult to repay their kindness, let alone others. Therefore, I, a lowly one born at the end of the Nyingma lineage, have also compiled the words of the omniscient guru into a single treatise, according to my own understanding, in the manner of a collection of teachings. In this process, apart from adding one or two transitional words and a few necessary quotations to connect the preceding and following sections, I have not altered or corrupted even a single word with my own conceptual thoughts. The guru's own handwritten manuscripts serve as a great witness to this. However, there are many records of the guru's words that arose in his mind from time to time, and those records are merely outlines of key points for the guru's own inspiration, without detailed explanations, so the statements are very concise and difficult to understand. Moreover, because my own innate and acquired qualities are extremely meager, there will inevitably be errors and confusions in the order of the preceding and following sections, as well as inappropriate placements. Therefore, I earnestly request the virtuous vajra brothers who have arisen from the teachings of the Dharma Lord Paṇchen Lama and who are confident in the profound places to carefully examine and correct them. At the same time, I also earnestly request all the great upholders of the Early Translation lineage to cherish this profound Dharma as if it were a precious family heirloom, keeping it secret from those who are not vessels and widely propagating it to those who are vessels. And I earnestly pray that you will open hundreds of doors of eloquent explanations that stem from this root treatise, so that the aspects of words and meanings in this world will not decline but will flourish and expand. If you do so, then (the meaning of this treatise) will be as vast as the scriptures.

我认为，相比于仅仅进行讲经和学习，将一生都投入到实修中，意义和必要性更大。《经集密意》中说：证悟诸佛的秘密心，并能向他人阐明者，是所有灌顶中最殊胜的，三界都授予他灌顶。又说，哪怕仅仅一瞬间领悟了精要之义，其加持和功德，诸佛也无法说尽。所有最究竟的白色善业，都如同指甲上的尘土。仅仅生起一次金刚心，就如同整个大地坛城。如是持明者，是世间无与伦比的供养处。经中说：对于具有意义的圣者，过去、现在、未来的一切时，十方刹土中安住的一切善逝诸佛都会降临，以咒语和敬意顶礼。又说：如果有人持有金刚心的秘密，乘坐车乘等交通工具，他的行为没有其他目的，那么他的车座将被诸佛视为中心而尊敬。密集金刚后续经中说：无论谁见到、触及、忆念、听到、信仰、甚至仅仅持有一部分主尊的修行者，都应视其为菩提金刚，并恒常向他顶礼。仅仅对如此甚深的意义生起信心，金刚镜中说：为了展示自明智慧之续，以自显现的觉性来显现，即使没有证悟者的殊胜禅定能力，也不会被地行菩萨所动摇，与善逝同等境界，是获得觉性之士的预言。经中说，与不退转菩萨等同。不仅如此，仅仅生起信心，也有无量的利益。《经集密意》中说：即使对精要之义没有觉性的力量，仅仅生起菩提心也能压倒中观。又说：对于诸佛的这个秘密，无论谁欢喜并生起意乐，都不会有其他的障碍，如其所愿，迅速获得。也是令诸佛欢喜的殊胜方法。该续部中说：仅仅领悟一句大乘秘密之语，众生声闻

I believe that dedicating one's entire life to practical application is more meaningful and necessary than merely engaging in lectures and studies. The Sutra Compendium of Intentions states: 'One who realizes the secret mind of all Buddhas and can explain it to others is the most supreme of all empowerments; the three realms bestow empowerment upon him.' It also says, 'Even a moment's understanding of the essential meaning, the blessings and merits of which the Buddhas cannot fully describe. All ultimate white virtuous deeds are like dust on a fingernail. Generating the vajra heart just once is like the entire mandala of the earth.' Such a vidyadhara is an unparalleled object of offering in the world. The same text states: 'For the holy one who possesses meaning, in all times of the past, present, and future, all Sugata Buddhas abiding in the ten directions will come and pay homage with mantras and reverence.' It also says: 'If someone holds the secret of the vajra heart, riding in vehicles such as chariots, and his actions have no other purpose, then his seat will be revered by the Buddhas as the center.' The Secret Assembly Subsequent Tantra states: 'Whoever sees, touches, remembers, hears, believes in, or even holds a part of the practitioner of the main deity, should regard him as a Bodhi Vajra and always pay homage to him.' Even just generating faith in such profound meaning, the Vajra Mirror states: 'To reveal the continuum of self-aware wisdom, manifested by self-appearing awareness, even without the power of the supreme samadhi of a realized one, it cannot be moved by an earth-walking Bodhisattva, it is the same realm as the Sugatas, it is the prophecy of a being of awareness.' It is said to be equal to a non-returning Bodhisattva. Moreover, even just generating aspiration has immeasurable benefits. The Sutra Compendium of Intentions states: 'Even without the power of awareness for the essential meaning, merely generating bodhicitta can overwhelm the Madhyamaka.' It also says: 'For this secret of the Buddhas, whoever rejoices and generates aspiration, there will be no other obstacles, and they will quickly attain as they wish.' It is also the supreme method for pleasing the Buddhas. That tantra states: 'Merely understanding one word of the secret of the Mahayana, beings, Shravakas,'

显现世俗谛，空性胜义自性谛，各自不混淆宗派的承认时，衡量之量为二虽确定，然于究竟胜义，辨别之量前，显空双运大平等之理，如具八深奥圣者之悟性，若能善知即是意义之智者。深寂离戏法界光明界，具足一切殊胜大空无为法，各自自证智慧之行境胜，于此决定显密见解一致。如于山王顶见小山，若悟此义则余者自然知。如众水汇入大海，此乃究竟果之归宿。若有欲求如金之物，如金般显现为道之大圆满之理，以诸多分别推断有何用？于本初之性中安乐休息吧！超离心识之觉性菩提心，显现为道之范例，意义之殊胜智慧，此乃不费力引导之殊胜道，于他处有否善思则明。光明自显任运成就报身刹，此生自在不学双运胜，显现金刚藏之大宗，为何不供奉于胜者教法之顶？善解此理乃最后有，恒常赞叹观为菩提金刚。仅以信解即能胜伏中观，因此谁有比此更重大的意义？仅对此类一词有所理解，具慧心生欢喜者，胜过以三千世界之黄金作布施。于无分别之庸俗者有何用处？具足贤善五髻之青春者，无论谁未领会于心，皆是所知之境。纵然并非存在于一切智者之宝藏中，然此乃长久于心中忆念之物。因此，纵然天生之功德微小，然以清净之信心与善意，汇集于此，若有以低劣之心所犯之过失，祈请伟大圣者们予以消除。殊胜无垢如日光之光芒，驱散地上邪说之黑暗，以正见之光明遍布三地，愿胜乘心髓之莲园得以盛开！

Appearances are the conventional truth, and emptiness is the ultimate truth of reality. When acknowledging different philosophical tenets separately without mixing them, although it is certain that there are two valid cognitions for measuring, in the face of the ultimate truth's valid cognition that discerns, the nature of the great equality of the union of appearance and emptiness, like the four kinds of noble realization with eight profound qualities, if one understands it well, one is a wise person in meaning. The profound, peaceful, free from elaboration, the realm of Dharma-dhatu, the realm of clear light, the great emptiness endowed with all excellent aspects, unconditioned, the supreme object of experience of individual self-awareness wisdom, the sutras and tantras agree on establishing this definitively. Like seeing small mountains from the peak of Mount Meru, if one realizes this meaning, one will naturally understand the lower ones. Just as all drops of water gather in the great ocean, this alone is the destination of the ultimate result. For someone who desires to see gold, what is the use of many inferences and analyses when the nature of the Great Perfection manifests as the path? Rest comfortably in the innate nature! The awareness that transcends the mind, the Bodhicitta, the supreme wisdom of example and meaning that manifests as the path, such a supreme path that leads effortlessly, consider well whether it exists elsewhere and it will be clear. The spontaneously accomplished Sambhogakaya realm of clear light's own radiance, the supreme irreversible union that masters this life, the great tradition of manifesting the Vajra Essence, why not offer it at the peak of the Victorious Teaching's banner? Understanding this principle well is the ultimate existence, and it is constantly praised to be regarded as the Bodhi Vajra. Merely with faith and aspiration, it overcomes Madhyamaka, so who has a greater meaning than this? Whoever understands just one word like this, whose heart is filled with joy, is better than giving away three thousand worlds filled with gold. What use is there for ordinary people without the eye of discernment? Those with the youthfulness of the five wisdoms, whatever they have not understood in their hearts is an object of knowledge. Even if it is not in the treasury of the omniscient, this alone is what has been cherished in the heart for a long time. Therefore, even if the innate qualities are small, with pure faith and white intentions, if there are any faults committed here due to the defilements of a lesser mind, may the great and holy ones forgive them. The excellent and stainless rays of the sun, dispel all the darkness of false speech on the earth, may the light of correct view pervade the three realms, and may the lotus garden of the essence of the supreme vehicle flourish!

愿我也与具足六解脱的此道不离， 不被得等八法之索束缚， 以三轮之事业， 将一切众生安置于原始的本初佛土。 吉祥之何者，以真实语狮子吼， 再三赞叹，乃至时之终末， 愿金刚藏之宗派极明晰， 如黑暗中之日月灯。 愿增上修持之善，自他虚空般众生， 生生世世为至尊上师所摄受， 二利任运成就，成为正法之王！

May I also be inseparable from this path endowed with six liberations, Not be bound by the noose of the eight worldly concerns such as gain, Through the activity of the three wheels, May I lead all beings to the original primordial Buddha-field. Whatever is auspicious, with the lion's roar of truthful speech, Repeatedly praised, even to the end of time, May the tradition of the Vajra Essence be extremely clear, Like the sun and moon lamps in the darkness. May the virtue of increasing practice benefit self and others, beings as vast as space, In all lifetimes, may we be cared for by the supreme lama, And may the two benefits be spontaneously accomplished, becoming kings of Dharma!
