Generally explaining the vows of Anuttara-yoga. Furthermore, among the two explanations of the specific vows of the secret Dzogchen, the first also has four: the twenty-five practices, the vows of the five families, the thirteen root downfalls, and the explanation of the major branches. The first is the explanation of the means to protect without deterioration in between. The initial practices are from the Kalachakra Tantra: killing, lying, stealing, sexual misconduct, and drinking alcohol are said to be the five grounds for training to be abandoned. Eating food from high-pitched shouting, learning the teachings of evil spirits, demons, and asuras, these five are the five non-actions. Cow, bull, male, female, child, and destroying stupas are known as the five killings. Being angry with virtuous friends, lords, Buddhas, the Sangha, and gurus, and meditating, these five are the five contentions. Not being attached to the five objects of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch, and the five faculties of eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body, are the twenty-five practices. These are clear from the words of the text, and later, during the twenty-five vows, some will also be explained appropriately, so know them. Secondly, the vows of the five families also have general and specific aspects. The first is the common five vows of the five families. Among them, the first, the vow of the Buddha family, is as explained earlier in the Bodhisattva Vows section: the two of aspiration and entry, and the three types of discipline, are the vows of learning Buddha Yoga. As it is also said in the Action Tantra: "The vows born from Buddha Yoga, from now on, hold them firmly." Thus it is. The vow of the Vajra family is to hold the vajra, bell, mudra, and guru vajra. This also comes from the Vajra Dakini Tantra: "The Tathagata is the Vajra, the bell of wisdom is spoken of." Thus, the vajra is the bodhicitta method, great compassion, the vajra of dharmata, as its symbol, holding the symbolic material vajra, and the bell that is the wisdom of emptiness, the complete circle of all cessation of elaboration, as its symbol, holding the symbolic material bell, and the guru who shows the meaning of the basis as it is, and the mudra that is the near cause of the path and the fruit, that is, holding them. In that same tantra it says: "The best of the Vajra family, also the mudra of the vajra bell, should be held correctly." Thus it is. The vow of the Ratna family is wealth, dharma, fearlessness, love, generosity, Ratnasambhava. As the former said:

伟大的种姓中至高无上者, 对于令人满意的誓言, 每天六次, 恒常布施四种施舍。 因此,对于地方上师和同修等,给予物质、佛法、无畏和慈爱的四种布施。 莲花部的誓言是:持有外内密的乘,即莲花部。 也就是外在的律藏、经藏、论藏三藏;内在的事部、行部、瑜伽部三续;秘密的父续、母续、无二续,即内续三续,持有九乘之法。 如彼经云:莲花部的至高无上者, 外内密的三个乘, 应受持神圣的佛法。 如是说。 事业部的誓言是:持有供养、赞颂等事业次第的事业部。 也就是,如前经云:事业部的至高无上者, 应如实持有具足一切律仪。 也应尽力进行供养的事业。 如是说,即是持有供养、赞颂等事业行为的次第。 第二,在特别阐述中,首先是金刚部, 特别是断命是金刚部。 具足十种田地,以及风和证悟。 也就是,取四根本和五种酒是五部的行用之物。 对于断命,共同的是,圆满具备所诛杀的十种田地是处所。 那么,舍取之理如何呢? 玛莫·悉巴的《圆满授记大论》中说: 发起这个诛杀的事业, 不是对所有人都说的, 对于具相的男子, 具理之人, 具义之僧团, 具教之堪布和阿阇黎, 具法之国王, 具律之婆罗门, 具相之妇女, 没有说可以发起这个事业。 即使发起也不会成就,自己反而会毁灭。 为了亲友的利益而努力, 为了帮助关联的利益而发起, 自己取回自己的财物, 被指定迅速食用, 变得可怜贫穷, 对于不理解的愚蠢之相, 我没有说可以发起这个事业。 即使发起,也说是罪孽深重。 取者自己伟大, 有小小的嫌隙和仇恨, 有小小的口角, 被酒醉、魔鬼欺骗而发号施令者, 我没有说可以发起这个事业。 如果发起,将堕入三恶

The greatest of the noble lineages, For the pleasing vows, Six times each day, Always give the four kinds of generosity. Thus, to the local lamas and fellow practitioners, give the four generosities of material things, Dharma, fearlessness, and love. The vows of the Padma lineage are: Holders of the outer, inner, and secret vehicles are of the Padma lineage. That is, the outer Vinaya, Sutra, and Abhidhamma, the three pitakas; the inner Kriya, Charya, and Yoga, the three tantras; the secret Father Tantra, Mother Tantra, and Non-Dual Tantra, which are the three inner tantras, holding the Dharma of the nine vehicles. As it says in that very text: For the supreme great one of the Padma lineage, The three vehicles of outer, inner, and secret, The sacred Dharma should be held. So it is said. The vows of the Karma lineage are: Those who uphold the order of offerings, praises, and actions are of the Karma lineage. That is, as in the previous text: For the supreme great one of the Karma lineage, One who possesses all the vows, Should be held in perfect truth. And perform the work of offerings as much as possible. As it says, it is to hold the order of offering, praise, and action. Secondly, in the explanation of the distinctions, first, for the Vajra lineage, Especially, the cutting of life is of the Vajra lineage. It is the completion of the ten fields, and wind and realization. That is, taking the four roots and five alcohols is the practice of the five lineages. For the cutting of life as well, the common ground is the place where the ten fields to be killed are complete. So, what is the way of abandoning and taking? As it says in the great prophecy of Mamo Sipa: This work of killing, It is not said to be done by everyone, For a man with signs, A person with reason, A Sangha with meaning, A Khenpo and Acharya with teachings, A king with Dharma, A Brahmin with laws, A woman with signs, It is not said to initiate this work. Even if initiated, it will not succeed, and one will destroy oneself. To strive for the benefit of relatives, To initiate for the benefit of helping connections, To take back one's own wealth, To be appointed to eat quickly, To become miserable and poor, For the characteristics of an uncomprehending fool, I have not said to initiate this work. Even if initiated, it is said to be a great sin. The taker is great himself, And there are small grudges and hatred, There are small quarrels, One who is drunk, deceived by demons, and issues commands, I have not said to initiate this work. If initiated, one will fall into the three lower realms.

莫堕入!这些造作的特征是:造作五无间罪,诽谤大乘,摧毁神圣的教法,断绝传承的世仇,违背誓言盗取财物,明明有份却大肆破坏,明明自己有却抢夺他人,压迫所有无辜者,对所有可怜者没有慈悲心,与罪恶为伍诽谤善行,杀害有功德者和智者,阻碍瑜伽士,盗窃抢夺,享用精华和修行的受用,从内心深处图谋吞噬,毫无羞耻廉耻,使国家黑暗,沉溺于自我和一切,即使详细诉说也不听从,即使用真理开导也不明白。这些是诛杀的原因,因此,事业时机成熟,成为诛杀的十种田地:嗔恨如火般燃烧是第一,嫉妒如红色旋风般席卷是第二,贪欲如田地般充满是第三,愚痴如山般堆积是第四,我慢如冰雹般充满是第五,吝啬如胶水般粘着是第六,凶暴愤怒如同小怒火是第七,杀戮砍杀如同罗刹是第八,抢夺傲慢如同罗刹是第九,邪法成为首领是第十。这些是诛杀的目标,如果对这些展开诛杀的事业,瑜伽士头戴顶髻,威力强大,修行没有障碍,恶业中断,地狱时间缩短,开启无上解脱的安乐之门,从根源拔出恶趣轮回,守护教法,成为贤善之人,必定成就美好的意愿。如是说。从诛杀的十种田地金刚明晰中说:对三宝、上师是共同的仇敌,违背誓言、邪见缠身,不应调伏却危害一切,具有誓言仇敌的恶劣品性,三恶趣和这十种,是瑜伽士们应当完全接受的。如是说。又从吉祥怙主的劝请文中说:摧毁佛陀的教法,冒犯上师的身像,摧毁神圣的寂静处,制造僧团的矛盾,伤害一切众生,诽谤密咒正法,盗取寺院的财物,扰乱禅定者的心,使人们喜欢罪恶,将善行转变为罪恶。

May one not fall! The characteristics of these actions are: committing the five inexpiable sins, slandering the Great Vehicle, destroying the sacred Dharma, being hereditary enemies who sever lineages, violating vows and stealing property, destroying greatly even when having a share, seizing from others even when having enough oneself, oppressing all the innocent, having no compassion for all the wretched, siding with evil and denouncing virtue, killing those with qualities and the wise, obstructing yogis, stealing and robbing, consuming the essence and the enjoyments of practice, plotting to devour from the depths of one's heart, being without shame or embarrassment, making the country dark, indulging in self and everything, not listening even when speaking in detail, not understanding even when liberated by truth. These are the causes for subjugation, therefore, when the time for activity has come, they become the ten fields for subjugation: hatred blazing like fire is the first, jealousy raging like a red whirlwind is the second, desire filling like a field is the third, ignorance piled up like a mountain is the fourth, pride filled like hail is the fifth, stinginess clinging like glue is the sixth, fierce anger resembling a small fire is the seventh, killing and cutting resembling rakshasas is the eighth, robbing and arrogance resembling rakshasas is the ninth, false Dharma becoming the leader is the tenth. These are the targets for subjugation, if one undertakes the activity of subjugation towards these, the yogi wearing the crown, with great power and strength, will have no obstacles in practice, bad karma will be cut short, the duration of hell will be shortened, the door to the bliss of unsurpassed liberation will be opened, the cycle of bad rebirths will be uprooted from its depths, the Dharma will be protected, and one will become a virtuous person, surely accomplishing the intention of goodness. Thus it is said. From the Vajra Clarification of the Ten Fields of Subjugation: The common enemies of the Three Jewels and the teacher, those who have broken vows and are entangled in wrong views, those who are not suitable for taming but harm all, those with the evil nature of vow-enemies, the three bad rebirths and these ten, are to be completely accepted by the yogis. Thus it is said. Also, from the Encouragement Text of Glorious Protector: Destroying the Buddha's Dharma, offending the image of the guru, destroying sacred solitary places, creating discord in the sangha, harming all sentient beings, slandering the secret mantra Dharma, stealing the property of monasteries, disturbing the minds of meditators, making people delight in evil, transforming virtue into evil.

以圆满的十个解脱田。如是说。五种身敌是:如《明释》中所说:金刚上师是身敌,与金刚兄弟作对,大乘的共同敌人,诅咒金刚乘,危害整个国家,尤其损害瑜伽士。如是说。七种堕罪是:如共同所说:金刚上师是身敌,与金刚兄弟作对,诽谤秘密乘,摧毁佛法,危害整个国家,成为瑜伽士的共同敌人,以及具誓者的特殊敌人。特殊的七种堕罪是:生命意义誓言之堕,表相欲望之七堕。如《普巴根本续》中所说。如是,为了佛法和众生的幸福,为了迅速从恶趣中解救,努钦·桑杰益西即使年事已高,为了诛杀朗达玛摧毁佛法,也前往印度学习恶咒。在此期间,大菩萨拉隆·贝吉多杰杀死了邪恶的国王,像这样,现在这个时候,如果不针对上面所说的取舍,而是以自己的怨恨和对亲属的贪嗔为目标来进行诛杀,这种做法与密咒和波罗蜜多的经典是否相符,应该思考。这些被称为以慈悲来诛杀他人。现在,以证悟来诛杀自己,这是密咒的关键所在。首先,在堕罪的情况下,就像一个瞎眼的单腿烦恼之风,心念的自性就像一个有眼的不贞之妇,骑在上面,执着于六根的对境为真实,然后以智慧的风,空性光明无戏论的枷锁束缚,将类似于人和心及心所的分别念之马分开,这被称为杀生。究竟而言,因为没有认识到轮回和涅槃的一切法都安住于平等性中,所以将我与他人的我执分别念,在无基之大错觉中诛杀,是诛杀事业的究竟意趣。一切秘密续中说:一切众生的事物。
