Represented by the presence of individual emanations with different names and bodily forms, etc. In short, acting without limit in the realm of Dharma is boundless, and it also occurred in the time of past Buddhas. Now, in this Buddhist teaching, most of the great scholars and accomplished ones of India and other places are said to be emanations of Guru Rinpoche himself. He blesses and takes care of all the upholders of the teachings, and in various places such as India, China, Shambhala, and Copper Island, he performs great deeds for the benefit of Buddhism and sentient beings through the play of emanations. In this land of Tibet, he also traveled to all places with his feet and blessed them, hid many profound treasures, and prophesied that they would be revealed at various times. He subdued all the gods and demons under the Vajra oath. In the future, as long as the Buddhist teachings remain, he promised to protect the Tibetan people through emanations. He entrusted Tibet to the twelve Tenma goddesses, preventing non-Buddhists from entering. In the future, when there is danger from foreign invaders, it is said in Taksham Sanglung: "Padma Jung myself, the wrathful one with the wheel, along with the twenty-five king and subjects and the army with lineage." Etc., it is said that he will end the foreign invaders and spread the teachings of secret mantras. Most of the non-sectarian new and old upholders of the teachings in this land of snow are prophesied to be emanations of Guru Rinpoche. He has shown his face to most of the wise and accomplished holy people, blessed them, and given them teachings, etc., which are immeasurable, as described in their respective biographies. In the future, when the victorious Maitreya Buddha attains enlightenment in this world, Guru Rinpoche himself will emanate as the prince Trodul and widely spread the teachings of secret mantras. Similarly, in the time of all the Buddhas of this fortunate kalpa, there will be individual Padma Jung. In the future, as long as sentient beings exist, he will abide as the basis of emanation in the immortal Vajra wisdom body, and the play of emanations will be as vast as the directions and time, performing the deeds of benefiting sentient beings. In the Vajra words of Guru Rinpoche himself: "I am known as the self-born lotus, emanated from the heart of Buddha Amitabha, the light of speech of the noble Avalokiteshvara, the father of all dakinis, the king of heroes, the Buddhas of the three times..."

引导至解脱之法如下:如自生无漏之身,以相好圆满之姿显现,受封为国王因陀罗部底之子。舍弃王位,于八大尸陀林中行持苦行。修习内外乘之法如大海。以无数不可思议之神变,示现八名之幻化游舞。以金刚之力降伏魔众、罗刹,摄伏轮回世间之骄者。引导众多有情众生进入大密成熟解脱之道等等。如是,成为三界惊叹赞颂之典范,此等稀有奇妙之行迹,当以二圣佛之传记,及教言伏藏之量,深信不疑。如是之大士,非仅为共同之成就者,乃是本初现证菩提之自性。已获胜妙成就双运金刚持果位,或已得自在之怙主,其名号莲花生,于无量刹土之边隅皆广为人知。彼尊及其眷属,乃三宝总集之体性,是无欺之究竟皈依处,当以坚信之心祈请。如是伟大之大尊,持明之王,其眷属为无数不可思议之殊胜密咒所化之勇士空行,如芝麻荚开裂般围绕而住,实则三根本护法如海会般无一缺漏。眷属亦不离主尊之智慧,皆为主尊随所应化之幻化游舞,故主眷无二之自性,彼等皆为祈请之境。如何以信心祈请之理:以渴求如意宝之清净意乐,及具足信心之意乐所策发,显现于身语之行相,即是祈请、顶礼等等。亦即了知皈依境之功德真实不虚,舍弃世间一切法如扬糠般,以一心一意之想:怙主,我等愿追随您。

The way to lead to liberation is as follows: Like the naturally arisen, immaculate body, appearing in the form of perfect marks and signs, being enthroned as the son of King Indrabuti. Abandoning the kingdom, practicing asceticism in the eight great charnel grounds. Practicing the outer and inner vehicles like the ocean. Displaying the magical dance of the eight names with countless inconceivable manifestations. Subduing demons and rakshas with the power of the vajra, and subjugating the arrogant of samsara. Leading many sentient beings onto the path of great secret ripening and liberation, and so on. Thus, becoming the epitome of wonder and praise in the three realms, such rare and wonderful deeds should be believed with certainty through the biographies of the two Buddhas and the valid teachings of the revealed treasures. Such a great being is not merely an ordinary accomplished one, but the very nature of primordial enlightenment. The protector who has attained the supreme accomplishment of union, the state of Vajradhara, or has gained mastery, is known as Padmasambhava in all corners of countless realms. He and his retinue are the embodiment of the Three Jewels, the ultimate refuge that is not deceptive, and should be prayed to with unwavering faith. Such a great and supreme vidyadhara king is surrounded by countless inconceivable heroes and dakinis, special disciples of secret mantra, like an opened sesame pod, and in reality, there is no lack of the ocean-like assembly of the Three Roots and oath-bound protectors. The retinue also does not deviate from the wisdom of the main deity, and all are manifestations of the main deity's magical dance, so the nature of the main deity and retinue being inseparable, they are the objects of prayer. How to pray with faith: Inspired by the pure intention of longing for the wish-fulfilling jewel, and the mind endowed with faith, manifesting in the actions of body and speech, such as praying and prostrating. That is, knowing that the qualities of the refuge are true and not deceptive, abandoning all other worldly dharmas like scattering chaff, with a single-minded thought: Protector, we wish to follow you.

因此,所有其他都包含在内,并且不会超出此范围。因此,由于您是不欺骗的怙主,并且是无限慈悲的本性,因此现在,请不要抛弃漂浮在三种痛苦之海中的我和像我一样的众生,以您身语意的不可思议的加持力,就像用炼金术将铁变成金子一样,为了使我和其他依赖和寻求庇护者的身语意得到加持,无论您住在何处,如铜色吉祥山等自性化身净土,请以您伟大的慈悲力降临于此。说完祈请加持的词语后,也要念诵咒语。像这样,咕噜是因所有功德而沉重的上师,是至高无上的。莲花是乌金大师名字的开头。悉地(藏文:སིདྡྷི་,梵文天城体:सिद्धि,梵文罗马拟音:siddhi,汉语字面意思:成就)是所寻求的殊胜共同成就。吽(藏文:ཧཱུཾ་,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:吽)是敦促赐予如此成就。简而言之,祈祷者向谁祈祷呢?是向诸佛的总集乌金大师祈祷。其中,第一句是出生地,第二句是如何出生的方式,第三句是伟大的功德,第四句是如此区分的咕噜仁波切的真实名字,第五句是调伏一切的慈悲游舞,眷属勇士空行母等是祈祷的对象。如何祈祷的方式由第六句揭示,即见到功德后,心向咕噜,以不退转的信心,最终想要成就与咕噜无二无别的意念所引发的身语的各种行为来祈祷。如此祈祷后,加持自身相续并获得成就是由第七句和咒语来揭示的。这是以虔诚的意念,相信咕噜仁波切以不死的智慧身安住在自性化身净土中,我们这些具信者祈祷时,立即会得到慈悲加持而祈祷的方式。这是咕噜秋吉旺秋的伏藏心滴七句祈请文中的,向誓言本尊顶礼!

Therefore, all others are included, and it is accomplished without exceeding this. Therefore, since you are the infallible protector and the nature of immeasurable compassion, right now, please do not abandon me and sentient beings like me who are wandering in the ocean of three sufferings, with the inconceivable blessings of your body, speech, and mind, just as with alchemy, iron is turned into gold, for the sake of blessing the body, speech, and mind of myself and others who rely on and seek refuge, wherever you reside, such as Ngayab Palri and other self-manifested Nirmanakaya pure lands, please come to this place with your great power of compassion. After saying the words of invoking blessings, the mantra should also be recited. Like this, Guru is the Lama who is heavy with all qualities, the supreme. Padma is the beginning of the name of the Great Orgyen. Siddhi (藏文:སིདྡྷི་,梵文天城体:सिद्धि,梵文罗马拟音:siddhi,汉语字面意思:accomplishment) is the supreme and common accomplishment to be sought. Hūṃ (藏文:ཧཱུཾ་,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:Hūṃ) is the urging in meaning to grant such accomplishment. In short, to whom does the one who prays pray? It is to the Great Orgyen, the embodiment of all Buddhas. Among them, the first line is the place of birth, the second is how it was born, the third is the greatness of the qualities, the fourth is the actual name of Guru Rinpoche who is distinguished in this way, the fifth is the compassionate play of taming all, and the retinue of heroes and dakinis are the objects of prayer. How to pray is revealed by the sixth line, that is, after seeing the qualities, the mind turns to the Guru, and with unwavering faith, one prays with the various actions of body and speech motivated by the intention to ultimately achieve inseparability from the Guru himself. After praying in this way, the blessing of one's own continuum and the gathering of accomplishments are revealed by the seventh line and the mantra. This is the way of praying with the belief that Guru Rinpoche himself abides in the self-manifested Nirmanakaya pure lands in the form of the immortal wisdom body, and when we, the faithful ones, pray, we will immediately receive compassion and blessings. This is from the Seven-Line Prayer, the heart essence treasure of Guru Chokyi Wangchuk, Homage to the deity of the heart's commitment!

Son of a fortunate lineage, if you seek refuge in me, the master of Oddiyana, abide in a solitary place, cherish the arising of sorrow for impermanence, and the utter weariness of samsara. Entrust your lungs, heart, and chest to me. Completely contemplate me, the master of Oddiyana, as your refuge and hope. You know the joys and sorrows of reliance. Do not seek offerings and praise; abandon the accumulation of wealth. With reverence in body, speech, and mind, pray with these seven lines:

其基,自生之智慧,未落入任何分别念之下,故为古汝(གུ་རུ,梵文,Guru,上师)。从道之作为中解脱,迷乱显现本来清净,如莲花般盛开之果,此莲花并非始今方修而成之果,而是在自生任运之界中,自明之智慧显现,悉地(སིདྡྷི,梵文天城体,Siddhi,成就)。自生智慧一者,虽分基、道、果三者,然本体无有他异,此由各自自明而现量证悟,所表诠者为吽(ཧཱུྃ,梵文天城体,Hūṃ,种子字),如是之大修持,此二者为圆满次第,故实则与生圆双运之修持不离而祈请。首五句明示目标,故为近修;第六句于彼境生信,故为近于近修;第七句修持自他不二;以真言,令本尊与自心无别,面见大法身之自面,乃大修持之方式。四支之近修与修持亦圆满。如是努力,若依时之近修而行,以虔诚专一之心,不散于他处,恒常祈请,是为近修。彼中,何时加持之相近临,是为近于近修。于觉受、梦中,定见成就之相,而精勤祈请,是为修持。加持自身三门,证悟上师与自心无别之义,乃大修持也。如是,于芒域持明大师之伏藏,噶举永杜之外持明中云:唯一之王,七句祈请文。以愿力,将能亲见本尊之面。七日或二十一日,祈请而近修。成就降临,解脱一切障碍。又,古汝(གུ་རུ,梵文,Guru,上师)亲自以语承诺云:以七句祈请文,伴随悲切之音,头盖骨上下摇动,以乐器猛力催请,邬金我自雅姜吉祥山,如爱子哭泣不能自持般,赐予加持,以誓言,那惹嘎那(ན་ར་ཀན,梵文,Naraka,地狱)!又,上师密聚无墙中云:大权金猴年猴月之初十,及一切时之君王初十日,化身遍布赡洲,我将赐予胜共成就。
