Possessing diligence, wisdom, and compassion, the lord, possessing five virtuous treasures, whose merits are inexhaustible. He is the spiritual friend and guide who lays the foundation for the true path. Thus it is said. In the Tantra of Profoundly Complete Wisdom, it is said that one needs a guru who possesses thirteen qualities. That is: The lama is learned and complete in ten aspects, gentle and disciplined, possessing great compassion, and even if asked about worldly matters, his Dharma will never be exhausted, he is a skilled teacher who possesses the treasure of the sacred treasury. For example, just as a lion cuts off all fears, respectfully ask him to teach with wisdom that is true and without deception. Thus it is said. That holy lama who possesses qualities, with body, speech, and mind, serve him with utmost devotion and respect, make him happy, and fully request the complete transmission of tantras, agamas, and instructions. Why is that? Because all Buddhas arise by relying on the lama. As it is said in the sutras: The Buddhas of hundreds of thousands of kalpas, should know the teacher to be most important. And so on. In the Condensed Verses, it is also said: All the Buddhas' teachings rely on the virtuous friend. The King who possesses the best of all qualities said this. Thus it is said. Therefore, to honor the lama, one should honor him with the intention of reverence. In the Perilous Path it says: The vows of the body should be protected, the common, the guiding, and the empowerment of vows, the restoration of breakages, and the liberation of the lineage of knowledge. The lamas of the oral transmission are the permanent refuge and protector, who liberate from the river of samsara of ignorance, birth, old age, sickness, and death. They eliminate wrong views, inferior paths, and so on, as well as erroneous and inferior actions. They show the unerring true path, thereby attaining unsurpassed enlightenment. Therefore, with faith, devotion, and respect, constantly honor with utmost devotion. More than a king who has power over customs, one should take him as the most important. More than a guiding uncle, one should regard him as the most supreme. More than kind parents, one should give him even more superior service. Even more than one's own heart and eyes, one should regard him as incomparably precious and important. Thus, with surpassing love, faith, and reverence, first with mindfulness and awareness, with body, speech, and mind, without hypocrisy and deception, constantly contemplate the lama as the yidam deity. Thus it is said. So, why is it necessary to examine the lama? Because if one has not realized oneself and wrongly teaches others, it is committing the five inexpiable sins and affecting all beings'.

据说,其异熟果比毁坏佛塔还要严重。在《总集经》中说: “对于意义,若未分辨智慧的力量, 只是被文字和词句牵引, 在不了解的情况下讲法, 比夺走所有众生的性命, 不懂装懂地讲法罪过更重。” 又如经部中说: “因此,对于殊胜秘密真言的意义, 如果在没有领悟的情况下宣说, 比起造作五无间罪的人, 邪说的罪过还要严重。” 同样在那部经中说: “对于实际上伪装的人们, 如果不运用确定的智慧力量, 只是被词句牵引, 如果宣说不确定的道路, 比起夺走一切有情众生的性命, 宣说不确定的法罪过更重。” 经部和《总集经》两者都说: “为了词句而盲目追随愚昧的人, 不是学习的处所和道路。 即使讲述成千上万的词句, 也不应该对他人宣说。 如果有人说了什么, 就会变成邪说者、金刚盗法者, 毫无解脱地堕入金刚地狱。” 又如《瑜伽之法生起大论》和《险道》中说: “为他人宣说邪法, 不懂意义却自以为是, 宣说恶劣的辩论之词, 没有依靠上师,没有获得灌顶, 讲法的异熟果报是: 身体被装进衣服的网中, 舌头也被拉到下巴处, 聚集了许多长嘴的铁蜂, 在身体上取出鲜血和肉, 以各种方式用热来折磨。” 等等。 自己领悟了密咒的意义后,为他人宣说, 据说,这相当于三世诸佛都给予了灌顶,功德超越了言说,并且会显现证得佛果。如《总集经》中说: “像这样,有智慧的人, 打开了通往意义的智慧之门, 具备法的眼睛, 将所见所闻编纂成四句偈, 成为智者,在意义上实践。” 又如《心要经》中说: “所有如来的一切, 手印、大秘密、秘密, 如果领悟了并宣说, 那就是我,灌顶也圆满了。” 又如经部中说: “身语意和金刚的, 为了确定地修持其意义, 领悟后宣说, 就是习惯性宣说的愿望。 将会成为正法的国王, 也会成为功德的总持。 那么,那是怎样的呢?”

It is said that its karmic result is even greater than destroying stupas. In the Kun Dus it says: "If, without distinguishing the power of wisdom in meaning, one is led by words and letters, and teaches the Dharma without knowing, it is heavier than taking the lives of all sentient beings. Teaching the Dharma without knowing is heavier." And as the Sutra says: "Therefore, if one speaks without understanding the meaning of the sacred secret mantra, the sin of false speech is heavier than that of one who has committed the five heinous crimes." And in the same it says: "For those who actually pretend, if they do not exert the power of definite wisdom, but are led by words and letters, if they speak of an uncertain path, it is heavier than taking the lives of all living beings. Speaking of uncertain Dharma is heavier." Both the Sutra and the Kun Dus say: "Those who blindly follow words are wild and ignorant, and are not the place and path of learning. Even if one speaks hundreds of thousands of words, one should not speak to others. If someone speaks, they will become a false speaker, a vajra Dharma thief, and will fall into the vajra hell without liberation." And as the Great Yoga Dharma Arising and the Gcan 'Phrang say: "Teaching false Dharma to others, thinking oneself wise without understanding the meaning, teaching evil words of debate, not relying on a teacher, not receiving empowerment, the karmic result of teaching the Dharma is: the body is put into a net of clothes, and the tongue is also pulled to the chin, many long-mouthed iron bees gather, taking blood and flesh from the body, and tormenting with heat in various ways." And so on. It is said that if one understands the meaning of the secret mantra and then shows it to others, it is as if all the Buddhas of the three times have given empowerment, and the qualities are beyond expression, and enlightenment will be manifested. As the Kun Dus says: "Thus, a wise person opens the door of wisdom to meaning, and possesses the eye of Dharma, compiles what is seen and heard into four verses, becomes a wise person, and practices in meaning." And as the Essence Sutra says: "All the Tathagatas, mudras, great secrets, secrets, if one understands and speaks, that is me, and the empowerment is complete." And as the Sutra says: "Body, speech, mind, and vajra, in order to definitely accomplish their meaning, whatever one speaks after understanding, is the wish of habitual speech. One will become the king of Dharma, and will also become the crown of qualities. So, what is that like?"

在过去的时候,以前发生过, 贤者瑜伽士迦叶那, 对贤者众多的僧团, 宣说了大乘秘密的赞颂。 从诸义确定安置中, 众多获得了大觉持明。 在那处赞颂者, 将成为秘密主法王。 因此这个大乘秘密, 对一切都应赞颂。 因此我获得了密意。 如是说。从虚空广阔界中, 口诀大圆满教法出现。 那时我的眷属们, 在讲说究竟义见时, 与见低下作伪的宗派, 以及自诩咒师的外道, 还有执着于贤者乘者, 当生起嗔恨之时, 抛掷恶语诽谤, 以毒药和石头等武器, 心想杀害他们, 当封锁地域领土之时, 这个普贤见究竟义, 不作伪维护情面, 毫不畏惧地宣讲此正法, 毫无犹豫的殊胜勇士, 对无惧无错谬的导师, 善逝们加持。 空行护法更不用说, 损害不能侵,福德增上。 宣说了决定等。

In the past, it happened before, The sage yogi Kasyapa, To the many assemblies of sages, Spoke the praises of the Great Vehicle's secret.

What need is there to mention the dakinis and Dharma protectors? Harm cannot prevail, merit increases. The determination and so forth were spoken.

如果不能保守精华的意义,就会泄露到无意义的轮回中。就像这样。所谓“装模作样”,就是指口头上能说,但实际上并不理解其含义,而是伪装起来向别人讲述,并诽谤圣者。还有,通过修持本尊和誓言,即使口头上能说出圣者的三藏,如果没有串习的力量,也不会成为定力。被狡诈、嫉妒和吝啬所折磨,将希望寄托于无用的佛法,行为上没有信心,破坏誓言,毫无畏惧地说其他瑜伽士低下,这样的人会被圣者击败,堕入轮回。就像这样。所谓“有毒”,就是指不按照誓言和意义去修行,而是把佛法作为今生获得成就的手段。还有,理解表面,衡量标准,引用特殊的词语,花言巧语,耍两面派,诅咒他人,愚昧无知,破坏誓言,为了今生的名声,进行欺骗和虚伪的诱惑,为了供养而随声附和,喜欢奉承,傲慢自大,渴望表达,伪装自己,这样邪说之人最终会堕落。如是说。还有,《智慧深渊》中说:这真实意义的秘密见解,对于那些颠倒之人和见解低下之人,对于那些听闻少、头脑迟钝、智慧低下之人,对于那些挥霍钱财、口无遮拦等没有资格的人,如果向他们宣讲,就会烧毁双方,所以要严加保密。如是说。对于这四种恶劣的容器,不能宣讲秘密,经中说:像这样失败的恶劣容器,对于伟大的秘密,正是那秘密本身,因为深奥且难以衡量,即使宣讲也会变成失败和堕落,因此不应该宣讲。如是说。给予良好容器的方法是:远离四种恶劣的过失,智慧的传承良好且能理解意义,具有确信的信心,因为有信心,所以对财物没有强烈的执着,并且能够布施,为了圆满自己和他人的利益,具有巨大的精进,恭敬上师且具有誓言,具有慈悲心和利他心,具有没有愚痴的智慧。 《险道》中说:远离四种恶劣的容器等过失,传承亲近且具有意义,行为良好,对任何事物都没有执着,具有布施之心,具有确信的信心和巨大的精进,为了圆满自己和他人的利益,穿上无上成就的盔甲,恭敬上师,关爱道友,如法守护誓言,具有巨大的慈悲心和利他心,用智慧解脱的钥匙。

If the essence of meaning cannot be kept secret, it will leak into meaningless samsara. Thus it is said. "Hypocritical" refers to those who can speak but do not understand the meaning, pretending to explain to others and slandering the holy ones. Furthermore, by practicing deities and vows, even if one can verbally express the three treasuries of the holy ones, without the power of habituation, it will not become stability. Tormented by deceit, jealousy, and miserliness, placing hope in useless Dharma, acting without confidence, breaking vows, and fearlessly saying that other yogis are inferior, such people will be defeated by the holy ones and fall into samsara. Thus it is said. "Poisonous" refers to those who do not practice according to vows and meaning, but use Dharma as a means to achieve this life. Furthermore, understanding the surface, measuring standards, quoting special words, using flattering words, being two-faced, cursing others, being ignorant, breaking vows, for the sake of fame in this life, engaging in deception and false enticement, pleasing others for offerings, liking flattery, being arrogant, desiring to express, pretending, such heretics will ultimately fall. Thus it is said. Furthermore, in the "Perfected Depth of Wisdom," it says: This secret view of true meaning, for those who are inverted and have inferior views, for those who have little learning, dull minds, and inferior wisdom, for those who squander wealth, are foul-mouthed, and so on, who are unqualified, if taught to them, it will burn both, so it must be kept strictly secret. Thus it is said. The reason why secrets are not taught to these four bad vessels is stated in the Sutra: Like this, for those failed bad vessels, the great secret, that very secret, because it is profound and difficult to fathom, even if taught, it will become failure and downfall, therefore it should not be taught. Thus it is said. The method of giving to good vessels is: being free from the four bad faults, having a good lineage of wisdom and being able to understand the meaning, having confident faith, because of faith, not having strong attachment to wealth and being able to give, for the sake of perfecting the benefit of oneself and others, having great diligence, respecting the lama and having vows, having great compassion and altruism, and having wisdom without ignorance. In the "Canyon of Beasts," it says: Free from the faults of the four bad vessels, having a close lineage and meaningful, good conduct, without attachment to anything, having a giving mind, having confident faith and great diligence, for the sake of perfecting the benefit of oneself and others, wearing the armor of supreme attainment, respecting the lama, caring for fellow practitioners, protecting vows according to the teachings, having great compassion and altruism, with the key of wisdom liberation.
