Oṃ. Therefore, presuming to be without the stain of faults. This means that, having seen things in this way, in this treatise, abandoning self-fabrication and bias, the meaning of the sutras and tantras is determined as it is, from the well-spoken words of many great scholars and accomplished ones. As it is taught, with a strict mind, through investigation and examination, without contradicting the sutras, tantras, and instructions, it is arranged in one direction. For that reason, presuming that there is not even a trace of the stain of faults such as misinterpretations due to not understanding or misunderstanding, therefore, urging the fortunate disciples who follow this supreme path to hold it as a treasure of heartfelt faith. Fourth, dedicating the merit gained from it: May all beings quickly attain the state of Kuntuzangpo through this merit. This means that this wonderful treatise, which fully and without error contains the ocean of sutra and tantra teachings, has become the sole entrance where all fortunate ones rejoice, and clearly defines the three vows. Through the accumulation of merit arising from composing this treatise, the collection of virtues reaching to the sky, may all beings pervading the sky be inseparable from the five kayas and five wisdoms, and quickly attain the state of the self-arisen primordial Buddha Kuntuzangpo. Finally, stating the colophon of how the treatise was composed: This, which is divided into sections by the words "Distinguishing the Three Vows," was composed by the Ngari Pandit Pema Wangi Gyalpo, who arose in the southern region of the land surrounded by the Himalayan mountain range, with the intention of certainty arising. May the doctrine of the spontaneously perfect Great Perfection be able to accomplish its activities in all directions and times. This means that, as it is said, this treatise called "Distinguishing the Three Vows," regarding the establishment of the author's name, as Thumi Sambhota, the guide of the land of snow, said: "From letters come names, from names come words, and words reveal meanings." Likewise, from the collection of letters comes names, from the collection of names comes words, and from the collection of words comes the categories of meanings. Here, it is shown from the perspective of words, this collection of treatises, is an excellent treatise possessing five chapters, with concise words and condensed meaning.

这部成为众多诀窍宝库的著作，在毫无阻碍地完成之际，空中诸神以神通降下赞叹的鲜花雨，从而圆满完成。论著作者的名称，以及著作地点的殊胜之处是，在清凉雪山环绕的西藏地区，特别是南方区域的阿里洛沃玛塘，出现了以功德的殊胜，以智慧和大悲从轮回和寂灭的二边中必定解脱的无上菩提的善妙发心所策发。精通于行持利他之方便，通达五大明处和五小明处的阿里班智达，莲花自在王多吉扎巴坚赞华桑波，将包括经论和注释在内的圣言的意义如实地记录下来，这完全是值得渴望解脱的人们奉为顶饰的。如《宝性论》中所说：‘谁以唯一的胜者教，调伏无散乱之心而宣说，与获得解脱之道相符顺，此亦如仙人语，当以顶戴受持。’因此之故。如此著作的善业，愿十方三世所摄的一切世间界中，显密教法普遍，特别是达到一切乘之顶峰的自性大圆满阿底瑜伽教法，能以讲修之门成办广大利益。如此发愿是所有回向中最为殊胜的，因为经中说，一切发愿都归于护持正法。如《普贤行愿品》中所说：‘护持一切诸佛之正法，普照一切菩萨之行，清净普贤行，于未来一切劫中行持。’这与此理相符。再次说道：如此第四导师的殊胜宗风，开创了始中末善的道路，普遍如意宝藏，平坦地展开，此乃赤松

This work, which has become a treasury of many pith instructions, was completed without any obstacles, and when it reached its conclusion, the gods of the sky showered flowers of praise with their clairvoyance, thus it was completely accomplished. The name of the author of the treatise, and the special place where it was written, is that in the land of Tibet, surrounded by cool snow mountains, specifically in the southern region of Ngari Lowa Mathang, there arose, with the special qualities of virtue, with wisdom and compassion, the excellent intention of seeking the unsurpassed enlightenment that will surely liberate from the two extremes of samsara and nirvana. The Ngari Pandit, Padma Wangi Gyalpo Dorje Drakpa Gyaltsen Pal Zangpo, who is skilled in the means of accomplishing the benefit of others, and who has mastered the five major and five minor fields of knowledge, has recorded the meaning of the scriptures, including commentaries, as they are. This is truly worthy of being taken as an ornament for the crown of the head by those who desire liberation. As it is said in the Uttaratantra: 'Whoever, with a mind free from distraction, speaks only of the Victor's teachings, in accordance with the path to liberation, that too, like the words of a sage, should be taken on the crown of the head.' Therefore. May the merit of this composition enable all the realms of the universe, gathered by the ten directions and three times, to universally uphold the teachings of Sutra and Tantra, and especially the teachings of Atiyoga, the Great Perfection of Natural Perfection, which has reached the pinnacle of all vehicles, and may they be able to accomplish great deeds through the door of explanation and practice. Making such aspirations is the most excellent of all dedications, for it is said that all aspirations are included in the dedication to fully uphold the Dharma. As it is said in the Samantabhadra's Prayer: 'Holding the sacred Dharma of all the Buddhas, illuminating the conduct of enlightenment everywhere, purifying the conduct of Samantabhadra, may I practice in all future kalpas.' This is in accordance with that principle. Again, it is said: Thus, the supreme tradition of the Fourth Teacher, having opened the path of goodness in the beginning, middle, and end, this universally pervading wish-fulfilling jewel mine, spread out flat, this is Trisong.

非汝为谁？ 初善三门止恶行， 中善利他为本修， 末善二利任运成， 于胜位中吐大气，无有欺诳。 愚昧如我亦知是理， 稍稍清扫汝之妙道， 此较妙道无谬误之流， 愿于五导师间恒常明晰。 此处讲闻修习深妙之规， 五七之末亦无没落复显明， 以利乐世间之贤善缘分， 愿诸刹土周遍吉祥光辉！ 如是于三戒作决定之此论典，乃于恩德无等邬金法财海尊前，于自年十二时，受持以大圆满巴珠吉美确吉旺波之口传为主之成熟引导，由此，有自彼时立即书写之如遗忘笔记之释文，后细观之，虽于所说之义无有错谬，然以能诠之词句或多或少，故有时如重说之过，有时不能寻得字义等，未成均衡，且总的来说，当时自己年幼且于学力之知识浅薄等，亦未成易懂易持义全者，故于将来不增文字传承之想法中，唯于他缘纷杂中散乱而渐废弛。 后来自视弟子僧团之数位喇嘛活佛言：我等之此释文定有易懂义全之终成者，如是屡屡劝请者数位出现，现今于印制前译噶玛之仪轨后法等时，以此律仪注释亦纳入其中，则期盼对如我之愚者稍有助益。 故天族释迦之居士瑜伽行者吉扎益西多吉，于自年八十一岁木鼠年藏历十月之智慧分，于西方欢喜苑中行树时，以细致研判之方式而著，书写者乃于自己近处之聪慧索南诺布所作。

Who else but you? Initially, virtue is to restrain misdeeds through the three doors. In the middle, virtue is to accomplish with the welfare of others as the foundation. Ultimately, virtue is the spontaneous accomplishment of both purposes. There is no deception in exhaling a great breath in the realm of victory. Even I, in my ignorance, knowing such a principle, Have slightly cleaned your excellent path. May this lineage, without error, be clear until the fifth guide. In this tradition, the profound custom of teaching, listening, contemplation, and practice, Even at the end of the five sevens, may it be revived without decline. Through the auspicious fortune of benefiting and bringing happiness to the world, May all realms be filled with auspicious glory! Thus, this treatise, which definitively establishes the three vows, was received from the presence of Orgyen Chöjor Gyatso, whose kindness is unparalleled, when I was twelve years old. I received detailed ripening instructions based primarily on the oral transmission of Dzogchen Paltrul Jigme Chökyi Wangpo. From this, there was something like a forgotten note-commentary written immediately by myself. Later, when I examined it closely, although there were no errors in the meaning of what was expressed, the words used were sometimes too many or too few, resulting in faults like repetition, and sometimes the meaning of the words could not be found, so it was not balanced. In general, at that time, I was young and my knowledge of learning was weak, so I could not produce something easy to understand, easy to carry, and complete in meaning. Therefore, with the intention of not increasing the textual lineage in the future, I became distracted by many other causes and gradually neglected it. Later, some lamas and tulkus from my own group of students said that this commentary of ours would definitely be easy to understand and complete in meaning. Some people repeatedly urged me to complete it. Now, when printing the rituals and supporting teachings of the early translation Kama, I hope that including this commentary on the vows will be of some benefit to ignorant people like myself. Therefore, Jigdral Yeshe Dorje, a lay practitioner of the Shakya clan, at the age of eighty-one, in the Wood Mouse year, in the wisdom part of the tenth month of the Hor calendar, composed this in the western Joyful Garden, while examining the trees in detail. The scribe was the intelligent Sonam Norbu, who was near to me.

Various original drafts have been completed. In order to perfectly continue from the good imprints of previous joy, it was done by the self-taught Monpa mantra practitioner Kunzang Wangdu, without any懈怠. May this cause the supreme secret Lotus lineage to never decline, but to develop and flourish more and more, becoming the sacred condition for constant prevalence and spontaneous accomplishment. Sarva dā maṅgalaṃ!
