Furthermore, there are four like branches, five like leaves, six like flowers, seven like fruits, and eight minds like nourishment. First, the wisdom of aspiration arises from the place of each being, generating weariness with samsara, thinking that one should practice Dharma from nirvana, this is like a seed. Giving to one's parents and friends is like a sprout. Giving without partiality is like a trunk. Giving from all places such as monks is like a branch. Stretching out one's hand to give and generating joy is like a leaf. Giving generously and generating even greater joy is like a flower. Keeping any one of the vows such as the fast day vow is like a fruit. Offering to the deity of devotion, the Three Jewels, is like a nourishing mind. Moreover, in the Lamrim it says: 'When the eight ordinary minds are exhausted, the essence and nature are the same, from the virtuous friend and protector, one obtains two kinds of teachings.' It is like this. How does the vehicle of the constant wheel benefit sentient beings to be tamed? First, having done the three things of livelihood, sustenance, and dwelling, in the middle, the eight ordinary minds arise, and finally, one becomes a vessel suitable for the definitive meaning vehicle, it is like this. The supreme, perfectly complete Buddhas have turned the wheel of Dharma of definitive meaning, and all those who practice the Dharma are ultimately placed on the path of the unpolluted realm of reality. The vehicle of miraculous manifestation has four aspects: proximate teaching, concise teaching, extensive explanation, and meaning summary. First, the proximate teaching is: the miraculous manifestation of the Buddha's compassion, the three outer calamities of fire, water, and wind, and the three inner calamities of disease, famine, and weapons, are extensively explained and clearly shown in a manifest way to those who are difficult to tame, it is like this. The supreme, perfectly complete Buddhas have not become the object of being directly tamed by the vehicle of definitive meaning, what is the reason? Because the three poisons are very strong. That is, desire boils like water, hatred burns like fire, and ignorance pervades like darkness, because of these reasons it is difficult to tame. What is difficult to tame? The constant wheel

及其乘，以真实决定之乘难以调伏的五浊恶世有情众生。乘及，引导。外火水风三，内疾疫刀兵三之劫运轮，于所化有情之相续，对饮食贪执而生贪恋为饥馑劫，于愚痴者前，令失念而愚昧为疾病劫，于嗔恚者前，令争斗为刀兵劫。调伏之方便及，引导。断除恶业不善十之相续，转变恶劣之念之事业者，胜者诸佛虽已转法轮八万四千法门，然彼等未被佛陀所调伏者，以外内之劫运轮断除恶业之相续也。广说有二，中劫与外大劫。初者有三，数。以饥馑劫断除对饮食之贪执及，引导。若对此等立一解释之基则易懂，故以“断除”作为解释之基而引导。其差别之法有四，以何者断除？于所化有情难以调伏之贪欲者之相中，莲花嘿汝嘎自身显现为饥馑劫而断除之。寂怒尊续云：“如莲花于泥中生，大慧之火以劫焚烧一切，以贪欲之相调伏贪欲者，调伏贪欲莲花嘿汝嘎。”如是。断除何者？对饮食等之欲妙贪执之识六聚，及具烦恼之意积聚种种恶业之相续，不由自主地断除之。于何时断除？现在乃安住之劫，又于寿八万岁之时，有佛毗婆尸出现。自彼时起，每二百年递减一岁，至七万岁之时，有拘留孙佛出现。六万岁之时，有拘那含牟尼佛出现。此三之时，教法名称三藏兴盛。四万岁之时，有迦叶佛。三万岁之时，有金寂佛。行续。二万岁之时，有释迦牟尼佛。瑜伽续。自彼时起，每百年递减一岁之时

And its vehicle, for sentient beings in the five degenerations who are difficult to subdue with the vehicle of definitive truth. Vehicle and, guidance. The outer three of fire, water, and wind. The inner three of disease, famine, and weapons. The cycle of eons of the wheel of time. For those to be tamed, attachment and clinging to food and drink is the famine eon. Before the ignorant, causing loss of memory and bewilderment is the disease eon. Before the wrathful, causing conflict is the weapon eon. Means of taming and, guidance. The activity of cutting off the continuum of the ten non-virtuous actions and transforming negative perceptions. Even though the noble victorious ones have turned the wheel of eighty-four thousand gates of Dharma, those who have not been tamed by the Buddhas, the outer and inner cycles of eons cut off the continuum of negative actions. The detailed explanation has two parts: the intermediate eon and the outer great eon. The first has three parts: counting. Cutting off attachment to food and drink with the famine eon and, guidance. If we establish a single basis for explanation for these, it will be easy to understand. Therefore, "cutting off" is guided as the basis for explanation. There are four characteristics of its distinction. By what means? In the face of those to be tamed who are difficult to subdue, those with desire, Padmakrodha himself appears as the famine eon and cuts off. From the tantra of peaceful and wrathful deities: "Like a lotus born in the mud, the great fire of wisdom burns everything with eons. The one who subdues desire with the manner of desire. The one who subdues desire, Padmakrodha." Thus it is. What is cut off? The six aggregates of consciousness that cling to desirable qualities such as food and drink, and the continuum of accumulating various negative actions by the afflicted mind, are involuntarily cut off. When is it cut off? Now is the abiding eon. Also, at the time when life expectancy is eighty thousand years, the Buddha Vipashyin appeared. From that time on, decreasing by one year every two hundred years, at the time of seventy thousand years, the Buddha Sikhin appeared. At the time of sixty thousand years, the Buddha Vishvabhu appeared. During the time of these three, the teachings of the three divisions of characteristics flourished. At the time of forty thousand years, the Buddha Krakucchanda appeared. At the time of thirty thousand years, the Buddha Kanakamuni appeared. Action tantra. At the time of twenty thousand years, the Buddha Kashyapa appeared. Yoga tantra. From that time on, when life expectancy decreases by one year every hundred years.

在一百年的时候，释迦牟尼使无上法兴盛起来。这位大雄的教法，吉祥劫中说能住世一千年。月藏请问经中说，能住世两千年。《律藏·小事》中说，能住世七千年。由于生育众生的主母等女性出家，减损了两千年，因此说佛的教法能住世五千年。这五千年中，有十个五百年：果时三个，修行时三个，教证时三个，仅持名相时一个。最初的三个是：阿罗汉，不来果，入流果之部。修行的三个是：胜观，三摩地，戒律之部。教证的三个是：论藏，经藏，律藏之部。仅持名相是最后的五百年。这会在人寿四十岁的时候，在持军队红旗的国王在位期间到来。关于它的故事有很多可以讲述，但因为文字太多，所以没有写。从那以后，每过一百年，人寿减少一年。当人寿三十岁的时候，应该如何断除呢？通过息灭对食物的贪欲，断绝维持身体和生命的食物，具备饥饿的四种法，这样的劫数会持续七年，七个月，七天，七顿饭的时间，以无力自主的方式断除。此外，现在对僧众进行集会，对众生进行布施，各自也发起菩提心，仅仅断绝下午的食物，为了佛法而修行苦行，就能从那样的劫数中解脱出来。疾病的劫数会断除对身体的执着。真实。断除有四种。以何断除？为了调伏难以调伏的愚痴众生，佛嘿汝嘎显现为疾病的劫数而断除。以愚痴的方式调伏愚痴。调伏愚痴者，佛嘿汝嘎。如是说。断除什么？以愚痴执着身体不净，贪恋自我的恶业之流，会被无力自主地断除。在什么时候断除？在人寿三十岁的时候，只剩下一点点人的种子，随着人寿逐渐减少，到了人寿二十岁的时候

In the time of one hundred years, Shakyamuni made the unsurpassed Dharma flourish. The teachings of this Great Hero are said to last for a thousand years in the Fortunate Aeon. In the Sutra Requested by Chandra-garbha, it is said to last for two thousand years. In the Vinaya-kṣudraka-vastu, it is said to last for seven thousand years. Because women, such as the mother of all beings, became ordained, two thousand years are reduced, so it is said that the Buddha's teachings will last for five thousand years. Within these five thousand years, there are ten five-hundred-year periods: three periods of fruition, three periods of practice, three periods of scriptural transmission, and one period of merely holding the signs. The first three are the sections of Arhats, Non-returners, and Stream-enterers. The three of practice are called the sections of Insight, Samadhi, and Discipline. The three of scriptural transmission are called the sections of Abhidharma, Sutra, and Vinaya. Merely holding the signs is the last five hundred years. This will come during the time when the lifespan is forty years, during the reign of the king with the red army. There are many stories about it that could be told, but because there are too many words, they have not been written. From then on, for every hundred years, the lifespan decreases by one year. When the lifespan is thirty years, how should one cut off? By pacifying the craving for food and drink, cutting off the food and drink that sustain the body and life, and possessing the four qualities of famine, such an aeon will last for seven years, seven months, seven days, and seven meals, cutting off in a way that is beyond one's control. Moreover, now holding assemblies for the Sangha, giving charity to sentient beings, and each generating Bodhicitta, merely cutting off afternoon food, and practicing austerities for the sake of the Dharma, one will be liberated and freed from such an aeon, it is said. The aeon of disease will cut off attachment to the body. Truth. There are four aspects to cutting. By what means? For the sake of taming the difficult-to-tame, deluded beings, Buddha Heruka himself appears as the aeon of disease and cuts off. Subduing delusion by means of delusion. Buddha Heruka, who subdues delusion. Thus it is said. What is cut off? The stream of negative karma, clinging to the impurity of the body through delusion and attachment to self, will be cut off uncontrollably. When is it cut off? When the lifespan is thirty years, only a little bit of human seed remains, and as the lifespan gradually decreases, when the lifespan is twenty years

在何处？ 方式如何？ 以痛苦和忍受为伴，因使记忆丧失、变得愚昧的疾病劫，在七个月、七天、七顿饭时发生，以无力的方式断绝。 也就是现在照顾病人，断绝危害众生，向僧团供养一颗诃子大小的药物，据说就能从此类劫难中解脱。 刀兵劫是断绝亲友眷恋。 问：断绝有四种。 以何断绝？ 对于难以调伏的、充满嗔恨的所化，持有平息嗔恨的方法，金刚黑汝嘎自身显现为刀兵兴盛的劫难，所有事物都显现为刀兵而进行断绝。 持有方法的刀兵劫，摧毁事物。 以嗔恨的方式平息嗔恨。 平息嗔恨的金刚黑汝嘎。 断绝什么？ 断绝亲戚眷属等自己和他人的所有事物。 何时断绝？ 从寿命二十岁时仅剩余人类种子开始，人类逐渐增多，寿命逐渐减少，在寿命十岁时断绝。 方式如何？ 彼此产生害心，所有事物都显现为刀兵并拿在手中，在七天和七顿饭时发生，仅剩余人类种子，无力地进行断绝。 也就是现在不委托他人杀生，自己也断绝杀生，就能从此类劫难中解脱。 如是说。 刀兵劫之前是漫长的远古时期，刀兵劫之后仅剩余人类种子，身高长的有一肘，或短一脚，矮的有一拃或一拳左右，寿命长的有十年，短的则不确定，公马的屁股上有粪便，小羊羔不做支撑，晚上出生的人早上会生火。 那时慈氏菩萨的化身，身高两肘，寿命二十岁的一位出现，说：你们停止不善业杀生吧，第一年身体就会和我一样。 依靠此，众生断绝杀生，逐渐地，身体两肘，也能活到二十岁。 如是。

Where is it? How does it happen? With suffering and endurance as companions, due to the kalpa of disease that causes memory loss and makes one ignorant, it occurs in seven months, seven days, and seven meals, severing in a powerless manner. That is, now caring for the sick, abandoning harm to sentient beings, and offering a medicine the size of a myrobalan fruit to the Sangha, it is said that one can be liberated from such a kalpa. The weapon kalpa is the severing of attachment to relatives and friends. Asked: There are four types of severing. By what does it sever? For those difficult to tame and full of hatred, holding the method of pacifying hatred, Vajra Heruka himself appears as a flourishing weapon kalpa, all things appear as weapons and sever. The weapon kalpa of holding the method destroys things. Pacifying hatred in the manner of hatred. Vajra Heruka who pacifies hatred. What does it sever? It severs all things of oneself and others, such as relatives and kin. When does it sever? Starting from when only the seed of humans remains at the age of twenty, humans gradually increase and lifespan gradually decreases, it severs at the age of ten. How does it happen? When harmful thoughts arise towards each other, all things appear as weapons and are taken in hand, it occurs in seven days and seven meals, leaving only the seed of humans, severing powerlessly. That is, now not entrusting others to kill, and oneself also abandoning killing, one can be liberated from such a kalpa. Thus it is said. Before the weapon kalpa is a long ancient period, after the weapon kalpa only the seed of humans remains, the tall are one cubit long, or one foot short, the short are one span or one fist tall, the long-lived have ten years, the short-lived are uncertain, the stallion has dung on its buttocks, the lamb does not support itself, those born at night will make fire in the morning. At that time, an emanation of Maitreya, two cubits tall and twenty years old, appeared and said: Stop your non-virtuous killing, and in the first year your body will be the same as mine. Relying on this, sentient beings abandon killing, and gradually, the body becomes two cubits tall, and they can also live to twenty years. Thus it is.
