There are two ways to understand its characteristics. What should be abandoned is: If empowerment is to place the seeds of the four bodies of the Buddha in the disciple's continuum, then a bad teacher cannot do this, and it is a great obstacle on the path. That is, those who have not received empowerment themselves, but arbitrarily accept secret mantras, and deceive believers with false Dharma that does not possess any of the three lineages, are foolish and deceitful people; and those who do not understand the meaning of the generation stage and the completion stage, and lack the confidence of practice, but boast of being proficient in the mandala rituals and procedures; because they are afraid of damaging their own fame or reputation, if the object of receiving teachings is an ascetic or a hermit, etc., they do not say that it is their own guru and hide it, but proclaim that a powerful person is their own guru. The scriptures say that being a teacher without giving inner and outer empowerments is an act of violating vows. Saying that a wise person is not wise is also an act of violating vows. Praising a non-wise person as a wise person is also an act of violating vows. Hiding the source of the teacher who received the teachings, and attributing the source to the side of one's own belief, is also an act of violating vows. And so on. Similarly, being arrogant and complacent because of lineage and ancestry, being distracted by the leadership and affairs of one's own residence, that is, the place of residence, monastery, village, and mansion, etc., arbitrarily using the property of the temple and the Sangha, not knowing the boundaries of the three vows, not respecting the precepts, therefore not guarding the three doors, the precepts are lax, not believing in karma, being attached to enjoyment, therefore being attached to the families of patrons, etc., accumulating the enjoyment of this life and the next, having strong afflictions and cruelty, therefore having little love and compassion, because the eye of wisdom is closed to the field of scriptures and treatises, being overwhelmed by false reasoning and disguise, daring to do anything, even if such a person gives empowerment, it is like a pair of conjoined calves, if one falls into a cliff, the other will be dragged down as well, even if the disciple is devout, they will become faulty due to the teacher's fault, and both will...

将会堕入恶趣的悬崖。正如所说：贪恋三宝财物者，迷恋家庭依赖劣酒，弟子行为不端且勤于俗务，从事买卖和牟取暴利，没有慈悲心且杀害众生，使出家人破戒且违犯戒律，依止这些人会被抛入地狱。如《智慧轮续》中所说：欺骗一个有信心的人，比杀害一百个众生罪过还大，这是佛所说的。因此，不要为了自己的利益而宣说欺骗性的佛法。应该依止的善知识是：首先，给予密宗灌顶并指引道路的上师，需要具备以下条件：1.具备见、2.修、3.行之宝藏；4.圆满具备四种灌顶之河流；5.具有与弟子根器相符的、引导弟子之意愿；6.精通基、道、果之续部意义以及四种事业之事业；7.了解实修之诀窍；8.具有经验之暖相。总而言之，需要具备八种功德。如《道次第》中所说：导师具宝藏，河流圆满，具意愿，精通续和事业，具诀窍和暖相，具备这八种功德。又如《总经》中所说：稳重且调柔，没有虚伪，了解密宗续部的结合，精通绘制坛城的事业，完全了解这十种真实，给予众生无畏。其中所说的十种真实，通过外、内、密三种分类，共有三十种。其中，外在的十种真实，如《金刚心要庄严续》中所说：坛城1、三摩地2、手印3，姿势4、坐姿5、念诵6，布施7、火供供养8、事业9，以及收摄10之相，是外在的十种真实。如上所说，与外续相符的绘制坛城等，以及修习生起次第和圆满次第的三摩地，以及手的手印，以及脚的姿势，以及四种事业等的坐姿，以及念诵心咒的方式，以及四种事业的火供次第，以及外、内、密的供养，以及在修习和成就的最后，将共同和殊胜的成就融入事业的方式，以及将所有生起次第的本尊通过次第收摄而安住于无分别之中，是收

One will fall into the abyss of evil destinies. As it is said: Those who are greedy for the wealth of the Three Jewels, attached to their homes and dependent on bad alcohol, whose disciples are immoral and diligent in worldly affairs, who engage in trade and profit-making, who are without compassion and kill living beings, who cause monastics to break their vows and violate their precepts, relying on such people will lead to being thrown into hell. As stated in the Wisdom Wheel Tantra: Deceiving one faithful person is a greater sin than killing a hundred sentient beings, as the Victorious Ones have said. Therefore, do not teach deceptive Dharma for your own benefit. The Lama to be relied upon is one who initially bestows secret mantra initiation and shows the path, and who possesses the treasury of 1. View, 2. Meditation, and 3. Conduct; 4. Completely possesses the river of the four initiations; 5. Possesses the intention to guide disciples in accordance with their mental capacity; 6. Is skilled in the meaning of the tantras of the ground, path, and fruition, and in accomplishing the activities of the four actions; 7. Knows the practical instructions; 8. Possesses the warmth of experience. In short, it is said that one needs to possess eight qualities. As stated in the Lamrim: The teacher possesses the treasury, the river is complete, possesses intention, is skilled in tantra and action, possesses instructions and warmth, and holds these eight. Furthermore, as stated in the General Sutra: Stable and gentle, without deceit, knows the union of the secret mantra tantras, is skilled in the activity of drawing mandalas, fully knows these ten realities, and bestows fearlessness upon sentient beings. The ten realities mentioned therein are divided into three: outer, inner, and secret, making thirty in total. Among them, the ten outer realities are as stated in the Vajra Essence Ornament Tantra: Mandala 1, Samadhi 2, Mudra 3, Posture 4, Sitting posture 5, Recitation 6, Giving 7, Fire offering 8, Action 9, and the aspect of Re-absorption 10, are the ten outer realities. As mentioned above, drawing mandalas and so on in accordance with the outer tantras, as well as meditating on the Samadhi of the generation and completion stages, as well as hand mudras, as well as foot postures, as well as sitting postures for the four activities and so on, as well as the manner of reciting the essence mantra, as well as the order of fire offerings for the four activities, as well as outer, inner, and secret offerings, as well as the manner of integrating common and supreme accomplishments into activities at the end of practice and accomplishment, as well as gradually dissolving all the deities of the generation stage and abiding in non-distinction, is re-

总摄的相有十种。内部的十种真实是：绘制坛城等等，这些被称为内续和教法。秘密的十种真实是：如《真实》中所说：遣除一，返回二的仪轨，秘密三和智慧、般若四，结合分开的仪轨五，朵玛六，金刚的念诵七，猛厉成就的仪轨八，加持九和坛城十的修法。是秘密的十种真实。这样共有十种相。无上秘密续中，如果了解了世间和多数宗派无法理解的业的自性，方法就深奥而广大。修持忿怒十尊等的守护轮，遣除障碍，以及用书写的守护轮遣除障碍的两种事业。表面上与世间人的行为一致，为了不生起不信任，极其秘密和隐藏之处是秘密灌顶，以及依靠智慧般若灌顶二者的结合。同样，结合分开的仪轨即是度脱。朵玛通过净化、分别、焚烧三者供养轮回和涅槃的宾客等，以及按照生起、融入、安住三者进行金刚念诵等。因为事业没有成就，通过强力或威逼的仪轨，对本尊进行猛厉的成就，以及对所依和坛城进行加持，以及修持用彩粉等绘制的坛城仪轨，也与轮回的相一致，与产生存在的次第相结合，通过享用欲望和堕胎等方式进行，共有十种。如实地了解和掌握这些方式，就是能够进行密咒灌顶的金刚阿阇黎。而且仅仅了解这些表象是不够的，必须依靠通达密咒见解并通过修持使自己相续解脱的人。为什么呢？因为自己没有成熟就无法使他人成熟，自己没有解脱就无法使他人解脱。如《桑布扎》中所说：阿阇黎以成熟之业，使弟子完全成熟。印度圣者说：自己处于平凡状态无法使他人成熟。成熟的标准是：相续中

The aspects of gathering are ten. The ten realities of the inner are: drawing mandalas, etc., these are called inner tantra and teachings. The ten secret realities are: as stated in the "Reality" itself: the ritual of repelling one, returning two, secret three and wisdom, prajna four, the ritual of separating union five, torma six, vajra recitation seven, the ritual of fierce accomplishment eight, consecration nine and mandala ten accomplishment. These are the ten secret realities. Thus, there are ten aspects. In this unsurpassed secret tantra, if one understands the nature of actions that are incomprehensible to worldly people and most philosophical schools, the methods are profound and vast. Meditating on the protective wheel of the ten wrathful deities, etc., to repel obstacles, and the two types of activities of repelling obstacles with written protective wheels. Outwardly conforming to the behavior of worldly people, in order to avoid generating disbelief, the extremely secret and hidden place is the secret empowerment, and the union based on the two empowerments of wisdom and prajna. Similarly, the ritual of separating union is liberation. Torma offerings to the guests of samsara and nirvana through purification, discrimination, and burning, etc., and vajra recitation according to the three stages of arising, dissolving, and abiding, etc. Because the activity is not accomplished, through forceful or coercive rituals, fiercely accomplishing the deity, and consecrating the supports and mandalas, and the ritual of accomplishing mandalas drawn with colored powders, etc., also corresponds to the aspects of samsara, combined with the order of generating existence, and performed through enjoying desires and abortion, etc., there are ten in total. Understanding and mastering these methods as they are, is the Vajra Acharya who is capable of performing mantra empowerment. Moreover, it is not enough to merely understand these appearances, one must rely on someone who understands the view of mantra and has liberated their own continuum through practice. Why? Because if one is not mature, one cannot mature others, and if one is not liberated, one cannot liberate others. As stated in the "Sambuta": The Acharya, through the activity of maturation, completely matures the disciple. The Indian saint said: Being in an ordinary state oneself cannot mature others. The standard of maturation is: in the continuum

由于种下生起功德的种子，因而生起无论受到任何因素的影响，都不会退转的对佛法和上师的信心。从暇满难得开始，自然生起所有道之功德。由于根器的差异，在几天或几年等时间里，前后智慧会产生巨大的差别。除此之外，更不用说能使弟子的相续越来越提升的，自己功德的自在和通达实义的智慧了。甚至连慈悲心和菩提心，以及密咒戒律的体性都不懂，连取舍的念头都没有。如果给这样的人戴上比丘、金刚持、持咒者或成就者的头衔，那么这些持有金刚上师形象的人，就只会拥有大量的吉祥草、丝绸彩箭等法器和用品，以及精通仪轨的念诵和实修。仅仅依靠这些就期望能成熟其他众生的相续，就像期望从没有水的水池里引水到田地里一样，真是令人发笑。因此，像前面所说的那样的上师，如果要简略地说，为之灌顶的弟子的法相，如前所述，需要详细观察。如果没有信心，就没有机会进入上师的慈悲和加持，所以要对上师和密咒佛法有坚定的信心和敬仰。如果没有羞耻心，那么在灌顶时获得的戒律和誓言就会被罪业所染污，成为获得成就的障碍，而且一旦破损就无法恢复，最终会堕入恶道的深渊。因此，观察弟子是否具备羞耻心和惭愧心等作为法器的功德非常重要。正如《金刚鬘》中所说：『如同检验珍宝，用火烧和切割来检验黄金一样，检验弟子也要长达十二年。因此，双方都要始终这样观察。否则，将会出现障碍，摧毁成就，带来痛苦。』如是说。如果未经观察，在偶遇或新认识的情况下，就给恶劣的法器灌顶，那么弟子失去利益的情况前面已经说过了。上师的成就也会衰退，无法守护如何守护和珍惜的誓言，从而断绝成就的根本，最终会缩短寿命。
