所有字母的本体,皆从阿字族中真实生起,获得不迁变大之位,无名与有名者亦不存在。非为男性的法,对于远离造作的诸法,既无佛陀之性,也无菩提,没有众生,也没有生命本身,超越了识之法性,清净的智慧没有染污,自性光明之诸法,安住于法界中运行。这五颂依次揭示了五蕴、离垢之镜、平等性、妙观察、成所作、法界性、五种智慧。 同样,在《如来一切智慧身圣妙吉祥真实名经》中说:超越了识之法性,持有无二智慧之相,无分别任运成就,乃三世诸佛之事业,佛陀无始无终,最初之佛无有分别,唯一智慧之眼无垢染,智慧身者即如来。 以及,从一切障碍中彻底解脱,安住于如虚空般的平等性中,超越了一切烦恼垢染,乃证悟过去、现在、未来无时之智者。 诸如此类,所有金刚乘续部所阐述的究竟智慧,即是第四灌顶之义的俱生智,此俱生智超离了名言和分别念的范畴,是不可思议之自性,故而稀有,是光明大圆满以及意义上的俱生等的施设处。 此乃一切诸佛意之真实处,是执持殊胜成就之大金刚持之本体,本自任运成就。因此,尊称为三身任运自成意义之莲花,如是,如是说道:为了从无明睡梦中醒来,并且为了智慧在所知境上增长,佛陀如莲花般绽放。 如是,无执著的自生智慧即称为佛或莲花,并且,过去已逝、现在安住、未来将证悟之所有如来,皆因证悟此法性如是之性而无差别地成佛,故无有差别。在《吉祥明智杜鹃续》中说:

All letters, the essence of being, truly arise from the family of the letter A. Having attained the state of great immutability, there is neither name nor named. The Dharma that is not male, even for those free from conditioning, there is neither Buddhahood nor enlightenment. There is no sentient being, nor life itself. Transcending the nature of consciousness, pure wisdom is without stain. The naturally luminous dharmas abide, proceeding through the realm of Dharma. These five verses sequentially reveal the five skandhas, the mirror free from obscurations, equality, discernment, accomplishment, the realm of Dharma, and the five wisdoms. Similarly, in the 'Tathāgata All Wisdom Body, Noble Mañjuśrī's Ultimate Name Truly Stated': 'Transcending the nature of consciousness, holding the manner of non-dual wisdom, spontaneously accomplished without discrimination, is the activity of the Buddhas of the three times. Buddhas have no beginning or end, the first Buddha is without distinction, the one eye of wisdom is without stain, the wisdom-bodied one is the Tathāgata.' And, 'Assuredly liberated from all obscurations, abiding in equality like space, transcending all defilements of affliction, is the knower of the three times, timeless.' Thus, the ultimate wisdom taught by all Vajrayana tantras, this co-emergent wisdom of the meaning of the fourth empowerment, is beyond the realm of concepts and discursive thought. It is an inconceivable nature, hence wondrous, and is the object of application for terms such as luminous Great Perfection and co-emergent in meaning. This abides as the actual essence of the intention of all Buddhas, and is inherently spontaneously accomplished as the essence of the great Vajradhara who holds the supreme attainments. Therefore, it is named the Lotus of Meaning, spontaneously arisen, spontaneously accomplished of the three bodies. As it is said: 'To awaken from the sleep of ignorance, and also for wisdom to expand upon the knowable, the Buddha expands like the petals of a lotus.' Thus, unattached, self-arisen wisdom is called Buddha or Lotus, and all Tathāgatas who have passed, who now abide, and who will attain enlightenment in the future, become Buddhas without difference by realizing this Dharma-nature, suchness itself, and therefore there is no difference. In the 'Auspicious Wisdom Cuckoo Tantra':

法身一味利生行相同,然于所化心识现差别。法界之中手印皆一故,一逝善成办诸佛之体性。如是,就究竟而言,一切诸佛之智慧身皆无差别而平等。然就世俗名言而言,各自修道而于获得果位之时,三世诸佛如莲花般开展,其根本乃是法性实义之安住方式,故称之为“生处”。是故,即是认定究竟之佛莲花生也。其名号之异名复有,由各经论之意而安立者,如普贤、原始佛、法界、真如、法性菩提心、如是性、胜义谛、自生智慧、如来藏、轮涅遍布之智慧、自性光明本元之心、难越意之智慧、俱生大乐、因之嘿汝嘎、大中观、大手印、大圆满,即以三大而定判之究竟义,以及其他经续中所说之诸多名号,皆为此一意义。如是之智慧,以反体区分,则有五智等不可思议之果法幻化显现,于其眷属,于界清净之虚空中,觉性智慧之妙力无碍运行,为众多所围绕,即一智慧为主,眷属等则显现为无量幻化网之游舞。如续云:一族之中有如来之众,族之众中有诸多族类,彼之族中有无数族类,从极喜之族所生者。如是宣说。如是之安住方式,虽于众生之心性中本初即已安住,然唯有透过大乘道,特别是密咒金刚乘之成熟解脱之甚深加持力而得以显现,否则于凡庸之时,则显现为莲花内之身等之相。

The Dharmakaya is of one taste, and its activities for the benefit of beings are the same, but it appears differently to the minds of those to be trained. Because all mudras are one in the realm of Dharma, accomplishing one Sugata is the nature of all Buddhas. As it is said, in terms of the ultimate meaning, all the wisdom bodies of all Buddhas are equal without any difference. However, in terms of conventional terminology, each achieves the path, and when the fruits are obtained, all the Buddhas of the three times, who are as expansive as lotuses, have their basis in the reality of the nature of reality, and are therefore known as the "source." Therefore, it is the recognition of the ultimate Buddha, Padmasambhava. Other names for him, which are assigned according to the intentions of various texts, are: Samantabhadra, the Primordial Buddha, the Dharmadhatu, the Ultimate Truth, the Dharmata Bodhicitta, Suchness, the Ultimate Truth, Self-Arisen Wisdom, the Tathagatagarbha, the Wisdom that Pervades Samsara and Nirvana, the Innate Luminous Mind, the Indomitable Wisdom of the Heart, Coemergent Great Bliss, the Root Heruka, the Great Madhyamaka, the Great Seal, and the Great Perfection, which is the ultimate meaning established by the three great ones, and also the meaning indicated by the many names in the sutras and tantras. Such wisdom, when divided by aspects of reversal, emanates inconceivable magical displays of the five wisdoms and other resultant qualities. In its retinue, in the unobstructed space of the realm, the power of awareness and wisdom moves unceasingly, surrounded by many. That is, a single wisdom is the main one, and the retinue and so on appear as the play of an immeasurable magical net. As the tantra says: "In one family is the assembly of the Tathagatas; in the assembly of families are many families; in that family are countless families; those born from the family of supreme joy." Thus it is said. Such a state of being has been present from the beginning as the nature of the minds of sentient beings, but it is manifested through the power of the profound maturation and liberation of the Great Vehicle path, and especially the Secret Mantra Vajrayana. Otherwise, in ordinary times, it appears as the form of the body within the lotus, and so on.

成就,如愿满足显现和无边众生的所有愿望。如是之自生智慧所表,乃具足五智之心髓种子字“吽”。 其次,关于无上密法的圆满次第,分为共同的通常说法,以及甚深独特的圆满大光明心髓之见解的说法两种。首先,对于未能现证以解脱道智慧所确立之义的智慧,如何凭借殊胜方便道的威力而现证之方式: “吽”字,表示义之俱生自生智慧。邬金之地,就其内涵而言,是密法的殊胜所依,总的来说是金刚身,或者说是其精华菩提心。 “之”字,表示与此相关联。 “西北”是指单音节“罗”,即减少或使衰减元素,太阳之气运行的右侧是红色罗摩;以及增长元素,或使粗糙触感变得平静凉爽,从而使浑浊变得清澈或纯净,月亮之气运行的左侧是白色单音节“让”。 “交界”是指二者之间。莲花是指心间的法轮八脉瓣。莲须是指五大元素的精华汇聚的明点。茎干是指罗睺星或虚空或智慧之气运行的中脉。如是之金刚身的精华脉气明点,在此殊胜之处,如樟脑及其香味般俱生依存,自生智慧无漏大乐菩提心,离尘不变的自光明显明点,实乃极其稀有,因为其具有不变的大乐和具足一切殊胜之空性大双运,不可思议的法性,以及无量奇妙。此即本初双运智慧之身,确认为一切佛陀之意之实义,并自然成就或证得作为殊胜成就大金刚持果法海之自性的,被称为自生义之莲花生。 如《喜金刚》等续部所说:大智慧安住自身,完全舍弃一切分别念,

Siddhi is the fulfillment of all the hopes and desires of manifest and limitless beings. Such a self-arisen wisdom is represented by the heart seed syllable "Hūṃ," which possesses the five wisdoms. Secondly, regarding the unsurpassable secret mantra's completion stage, there are two explanations: the common, general explanation, and the explanation according to the view of the profound and unique Great Perfection, the Heart Essence of Clear Light. First, for those who have not been able to directly realize the wisdom of meaning established by the path of liberation through wisdom, how to directly realize it through the power of a special path of skillful means: The syllable "Hūṃ" represents the co-emergent, self-arisen wisdom of meaning. The land of Oḍḍiyāna, in terms of its inner meaning, is a special support for secret mantra, generally the vajra body, or its essence, citta. The word "of" indicates its connection. "Northwest" refers to the single syllable "ro," which reduces or diminishes the elements; on the right side where the solar wind flows is the red Roma. And increasing the elements, or making the rough touch calm and cool, thus making the turbid clear or pure, on the left side where the lunar wind flows is the white single syllable "ram." "Intersection" means in the middle of the two. The lotus is the eight-petaled chakra of dharma in the heart. The filaments are the bindu where the five essences of the five elements gather. The stem is Rāhu, or space, or the central channel through which the wind of wisdom flows. Such an essence of the vajra body, the special channels, winds, and bindus, in that special place, like camphor and its scent, co-emergent and dependent, the self-arisen wisdom, the uncontaminated great bliss, the bodhicitta, the self-luminous clear light bindu, free from dust and immutable, is truly wonderful, because it possesses the immutable great bliss and the great emptiness of all supreme aspects, the indivisible union, the inconceivable dharmata, and the myriad wonders. This is the body of primordial union wisdom, confirmed as the actual meaning of the intention of all Buddhas, and naturally accomplished or attained as the nature of the supreme accomplishment, the great Vajradhara, the ocean of fruition, is known as the self-arisen meaning of Padmasambhava. As stated in the tantras such as the Hevajra: Great wisdom abides in one's own body, completely abandoning all conceptual thoughts,

遍及一切处者,身处身中,非身所生。如是,桑扎、胜乐、合修空行海等续部中,文句一致地说:于最胜秘密之喜乐中,一切自性恒常住。一切佛与菩萨,金刚萨埵乃安乐之最胜。此乃自生薄伽梵,唯一极伟大之天。一切佛之合修者,是为殊胜之天性。如是,嘿日嘎续云:诶(藏文:ཨེ་,梵文天城体:ए,梵文罗马拟音:e,汉语字面意思:诶)之相好,中央以瓦姆(藏文:ཝཾ,梵文天城体:वं,梵文罗马拟音:vaṃ,汉语字面意思:瓦姆)庄严。一切安乐之所依,佛陀珍宝莲花。如是,幻化网续云:不坏明点大乐,具五智清净之精华。自生有情皆安住,导师具智慧之语。达玛扎卡(藏文:དྷརྨ་ཙཀྲ,梵文天城体:धर्मचक्र,梵文罗马拟音:dharmacakra,汉语字面意思:法轮)乃佛法之所依。如是等等。于方便与智慧无二之时,无漏明点生起之刻,无思同时生起之际,视为大乐之时。如是,自他一切诸法,乃同时生起之智慧,非事物,非非事物,非自他,非无二。自生大乐乃幻化,金刚坚固自显现,智慧幻化任运成。如是,空行母金刚帐续云:虚空界有多少,世间界有千数,大乐圆满大印,佛陀如虚空般安住。如是,时轮金刚续云:如从虚空宝瓶中取水,却无去来一般。遍空虚空金刚持,亦如是远离处所,于身之中央。如是,于空性中混合智慧,味等不变恒常,亦是变化。如是安住于生起,寂静三态安住于有,于自身中觉知。如是等等,金刚乘道之甚深要点,即是诸大密续部所阐述之义。如是,自生智慧之明点莲花生,其眷属乃大智慧明点之妙用,从中脉,以及由此散发之脉之孔隙,于空性中运行或行进之风与明点,是也。

The one who pervades all places, the body dwells within the body, not born from the body. Thus, in the Samputa, Hevajra, and Guhyasamayasadhana-Dakini-jala and other tantras, the words agree: In the joy of the supreme secret, all self-nature constantly abides. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Vajrasattva is the best of bliss. This is the self-born Bhagavan, the only supremely great deity. The union of all Buddhas, is the very nature of the superior deity. Thus, in the Hevajra Tantra it says: The beautiful form of E (Tibetan: ཨེ་, Devanagari: ए, Romanized Sanskrit: e, Literal meaning: E), adorned in the center with Vam (Tibetan: ཝཾ, Devanagari: वं, Romanized Sanskrit: vaṃ, Literal meaning: Vam). The abode of all bliss, the Buddha's precious lotus. Thus, in the Mayajala Mirror it says: Indestructible bindu, great bliss, essence of pure wisdom with five wisdoms. Self-born sentient beings all abide, the teacher possesses words of wisdom. Dharmacakra (Tibetan: དྷརྨ་ཙཀྲ, Devanagari: धर्मचक्र, Romanized Sanskrit: dharmacakra, Literal meaning: Wheel of Dharma) is the abode of Dharma. And so on. At the time of the non-duality of method and wisdom, at the moment when the uncontaminated bindu arises, at the instant of the unthinking co-emergence, it is regarded as the time of great bliss. Thus, all phenomena of self and other, are the co-emergent wisdom, not a thing, not a non-thing, not self and other, not non-dual. Self-born great bliss is illusion, Vajra is firm, self-appearing, wisdom illusion spontaneously accomplished. Thus, in the Dakini Vajra Tent Tantra it says: As many as there are realms of space, in the thousands of world realms, the great bliss, perfect great mudra, the Buddha abides like space. Thus, in the Kalachakra Tantra it says: Just as one draws water from the center of a vase in the sky, yet there is no going or coming. The Vajra-holder who pervades space, likewise, is without location, in the very center of the body. Thus, in emptiness, wisdom is mixed, taste is equal, unchanging, constant, and also changing. Thus, abiding in arising, the three states of peace abide in existence, recognize it in one's own body. And so on, the profound key points of the Vajrayana path, this is the very meaning taught in the great secret tantra sections. Thus, the self-born wisdom bindu, Padmasambhava, his retinue is the play of the great wisdom bindu, from the central channel, and the winds and bindus that emanate from it, flowing or moving in the empty space of the channels.
