English

Its basis, the self-arisen wisdom, which has not fallen under any conceptualization, is therefore Guru. Liberated from the actions of the path, the delusion appearances are primordially pure, the fruit that spontaneously accomplishes, like a lotus blossoming, that lotus is not a fruit that has just now been cultivated and achieved. But in the realm of self-arisen spontaneous accomplishment, the self-aware wisdom itself manifests, Siddhi (སིདྡྷི, Sanskrit Devanagari, Siddhi, accomplishment). Although the single self-arisen wisdom is divided into three: basis, path, and fruit, its essence is not different, and that which is directly realized by individual self-awareness is represented by Hūṃ (ཧཱུྃ, Sanskrit Devanagari, Hūṃ, seed syllable), thus the great practice, these two are the completion stage, so in essence, one should pray without separating from the practice of generation and completion united. The first five lines clarify the goal, so it is approaching. The sixth line has faith in that object, so it is approaching approach. The seventh line practices non-duality with oneself. With the mantra, the deity and one's own mind are inseparable, meeting the face of the great Dharmakaya, is the manner of great practice. The approaching and practicing of the four limbs are also complete. Thus, striving, if one acts according to the approaching of time, with single-pointed devotion, without being distracted elsewhere, constantly praying is approaching. From that, when the sign of blessing draws near, it is approaching approach. In experience and dreams, definitely seeing the signs of accomplishment, and striving in prayer is practicing. Blessing one's own three doors, realizing the meaning of the inseparability of the lama and one's own mind is great practice. Thus, in the treasure of the great Rigdzin of Ngari, from the outer accomplishment of the Gathering of All the Vidyadharas of the Eight Commands: The single sovereign is the Seven-Line Prayer. By the power of aspiration, one will actually see the face of the deity. For seven or twenty-one days, pray and approach. Accomplishments will descend, and one will be liberated from all obstacles. Furthermore, Guru himself promised with his own words: With the Seven-Line Prayer, accompanied by a mournful melody, vigorously urging with a skull cup turned upside down and music, from Ngayab Palri, I, Orgyen, like a beloved child crying unbearably, will bestow blessings, by the oath, Naraka (ན་ར་ཀན, Sanskrit, Naraka, hell)! Also, from the Lama Sangdü Themme: On the tenth day of the Monkey Month of the Great Powerful Monkey Year, and on all the tenth days of the King of Time, emanations will spread throughout Jambudvipa, and I will bestow supreme and common accomplishments.

一生修持上师法,耗尽寿命终结时,邬金融入我心间,如是说。

我是邬金的遗教石。未来信仰我的人们啊,谁信仰了我,我就在他的身边。每个月十号来临之际,谁掌握了我的遗教石,那个人和我永不分离。莲花生从不说谎,信徒们请高兴吧。藏地的国王大臣和弟子们,在每月初十,我将示现降临。莲花生不会欺骗他人。等等。用七句祈请文祈祷,加持如流水般降临。当一切都充满光辉和加持时,那就是我降临的征兆。实际上,我没有来去。自己的业力和障碍,何时清净,何时与我相见。为了调伏众生的虚幻愿望,虽然我住在罗刹国,但慈悲永不间断,谁信仰我,我就在他的身边。像这样,在我的初十,精进祈祷的人,以确信轮回的痛苦,将心肝肺托付于我。等等,这是金刚的真实誓言。莲花生教言集中,对拉章所说:在殊胜的佛陀调伏之地,化身导师将出现在每个众生面前。过去是无量光佛,在普陀山是观世音菩萨。在达那郭夏是莲花生身。虽然显现上是三种形象,但实际上没有分别,彼此没有不同。在法界宫是普贤王如来,在密严刹土是金刚持大尊,在金刚座是伟大的释迦牟尼。无二莲花生自然成就了我。在一切利益众生之事中,加持最为殊胜。两种资粮圆满,功德圆满,成为最殊胜的佛子,化身不可思议。过去、未来和现在,在一切时处,将教法的胜幢树立于十方。在祈请文第七品中,对措嘉的教言小册子里说:我被所有法身佛加持,被所有报身佛灌顶,被所有化身佛赋予使命,为了在南赡部洲弘扬佛法,用密宗果乘之法引导众生。

I am the Ugyen's testament stone. Those who will believe in me in the future, whoever believes in me, I am at their side. Every time the tenth day of the month dawns, whoever holds my testament stone, that person and I are inseparable. Padmasambhava never speaks falsely, may the devotees rejoice. To the Tibetan king, ministers, and disciples, I will appear on the tenth day of the month. Padmasambhava does not deceive others. Etc. Pray with the Seven-Line Prayer, may blessings descend like a stream of water. When everything is filled with radiance and blessings, that is the sign of my arrival. In reality, I have no coming or going. One's own karma and obscurations, when they are purified, that is when you will meet me. For the sake of taming beings with illusory wishes, although I dwell in the land of the Rakshasas, compassion is never interrupted, whoever believes in me, I am at their side. Like this, on my tenth day, those who diligently pray, with the certainty of the suffering of samsara, entrust their heart, liver, and lungs to me. Etc., this is the vajra's true promise. In the Padma Teachings, spoken to Lhacham: In the particularly excellent land tamed by the Buddha, the emanation teacher will appear before each being. In the past, it was Amitabha, on Mount Potala it is Avalokiteshvara. In Dhanakosha it is the body of Padmasambhava. Although it appears as three forms, in reality there is no difference, they are not separate from each other. In the Dharmadhatu realm is Samantabhadra, in the Dense Array realm is the Great Vajradhara, in Vajrasana is the Great Shakyamuni. The non-dual Padmasambhava spontaneously accomplished me. Among all deeds that benefit beings, blessings are most extraordinary. The two accumulations are perfected, qualities are fully complete, becoming the most excellent son, emanations are inconceivable. In the past, future, and present, at all times, may the victory banner of the teachings be raised in the ten directions. In the small text of the seventh chapter of the prayer, the advice to Tsogyal: I am blessed by all the Buddhas of the Dharmakaya, empowered by all the Buddhas of the Sambhogakaya, and entrusted with the mission by all the Buddhas of the Nirmanakaya, in order to spread the Buddha's teachings in the southern Jambudvipa, and to guide beings with the Dharma of the Secret Mantra's fruition.

因此,从珍宝海岛莲花茎中,以自生化身之名而来。无论哪个有缘分的具信者,以渴求之心向我祈祷,以因果缘起愿力之殊胜,其他佛陀以我之慈悲迅速加持。海王以虔诚之心恒常祈祷。如是说。莲花生大师的《莲花遗教》中,所发之愿皆可得偿,祈祷莲花生我,则能如愿以偿。如是说。上师修法之要诀文中:猴年猴月之初十日,邬金自性于整个藏地,必定降临,此乃我之誓言。每月初十到来之际,化身亦将遍布藏地。此乃莲花生之誓言,绝不虚妄。信任我、具虔诚心者,敬设香料朵玛、珍宝火焰,以下颚朝上的颅器,以乐器之声祈请,以七句祈请文,从渴求之境呼唤:邬金我从罗刹铜色吉祥山,如爱子般无法忍受,赐予加持降临,此乃誓言,纳惹嘎纳!如是等等,宣说了诸多不虚妄之金刚承诺。莲师心滴传承宝藏第四品中,海王的口诀中说:适当时机,前往山顶空旷之处,于任何适宜之处,以哀嚎之声祈祷,如头颅爆裂般祈祷。从出离心、厌离心和虔诚心中,滴落如豆粒般的眼泪,能净除巨大的业障,至关重要。将生起的觉受视为胜利。以及,持明宝藏主洲之伏藏品中,上师猛烈的历史中说:特别是想要迅速获得加持和成就,观修、供养和修持莲花生我,就像如意宝珠一样,祈祷就能自然而然地获得所需。诸佛如海般加持,如子般守护,持誓护法空行母如雨般降下成就,使轮涅一切有者成办所托之事,事业任运成就,救度无量众生。所有这些都源于依赖我。努力断除怀疑,体验它。如果欺骗了,莲花生就弱了,君臣们!如是说,因此这是永不欺骗的金刚誓言。

Therefore, from the precious island of the lotus stem, it comes with the name of a self-arisen manifestation body. Whichever fortunate and faithful person prays to me with a longing heart, through the special qualities of cause, effect, interdependence, and aspiration, other Buddhas quickly bestow their compassion through me. The Ocean Queen constantly prays with devotion. Thus it is said. In the Lotus Teachings of Padmasambhava, whatever aspirations are made will be fulfilled, and from praying to Padmasambhava, I, desires and needs will arise. Thus it is said. In the essential instructions for the Guru Sadhana: On the tenth day of the monkey month of the monkey year, the very essence of Orgyen will definitely come to all of Tibet, this is my word of honor. On every tenth day of the month, manifestations will spread throughout Tibet. This is the oath of Padmasambhava, it is impossible for it to be false. Those who trust in me and have devotion, erect a fragrant torma, a blazing jewel, with a skull cup facing upwards, urged on by the sound of music, invoke with the seven-line prayer, calling from the depths of longing: Orgyen, I myself, from the Copper-Colored Mountain of Glory, like a beloved child unable to bear it, come bestowing blessings, this is the oath, Naraka! Thus, many infallible vajra promises were spoken. In the fourth chapter of Ratna Lingpa's Whispered Transmission, Treasure Trove of Jewels, in the instructions of the Ocean Queen: At the appropriate time, go to the top of a mountain, to an empty valley, to a place where appearances are comfortable, and pray with a wailing voice, praying as if your head is about to explode. From the state of renunciation, sorrow, and devotion, a tear the size of a grain of rice is crucial for purifying great obscurations. Consider the arising experiences as victory. And, in the history of the wrathful Guru, a treasure from the treasure revealer Rigdzin Terdag Lingpa: Especially if you want to quickly obtain blessings and accomplishments, meditate, offer, and practice on Padmasambhava, me, just like a wish-fulfilling jewel, by praying, you will naturally obtain what you need. The Buddhas, like an ocean, bestow blessings, protecting like a child, the oath-bound dakinis shower down accomplishments like rain, causing all beings in samsara and nirvana to accomplish the entrusted tasks, activities spontaneously accomplished, liberating limitless beings. All of these arise from relying on me. Strive to abandon doubt and experience it. If you deceive, Padmasambhava is weak, lords and subjects! Thus it is said, therefore this is the vajra oath that never deceives.

将纯净之心怀于胸中,视唯一皈依处、总集如意宝的上师为本尊,以不懈的虔诚祈祷之王为依止。从上师意集身传承水晶山中,在无垢海岛莲师盛开之上,从不为子宫所染的莲花金刚力,流出安乐之味的明妃曼达拉,是方便智慧乐空之舞的自在主,是诸佛之意的精华所聚。如其威力显现诸多化身。如是说。将莲花生大师及其眷属勇士空行母观想为慈爱合一,以祈祷激励自心,不舍获得灌顶和加持的愿望,尽力修持正行。在座间休息时,也要将一切显现观为上师的游舞,修持净观和慈悲菩提心。如前文所说:修持慈悲菩提心,加持自己的心相续,观想所住之处为邬金净土,加持一切处所,观想房屋为宫殿,加持住所,观想一切聚集为本尊,加持为智慧本尊,将饮食观想为甘露,加持为供品。如是修持五种加持,则能自在获得共同和殊胜的成就。第二,按照内密之义解释,分为按照解脱道解释、按照方便道解释,以及将二者结合的窍诀解释三种,首先是第一个。吽(藏文:ཧཱུྃ,梵文天城体:हुं,梵文罗马拟音:hūṃ,汉语字面意思:吽),表示轮回涅槃一切法之实相,自生智慧自明,是心之种子,首先念诵。邬金刹土,是密法生起之处,是殊胜之地,因此在内义中,要理解为自己的心性是密法之所。西北方,表示陷入泥潭等,以及从中解脱。因此,此处西方之声表示轮回,北方之声表示解脱。如《涅槃经》所说:如来降生之时,向西方走了七步,表示生老病死之身已尽
