应当策励。我年岁安乐之后，应当策励通达时节。通达时节之后，应当策励不坏灭。不坏灭之后，应当策励通达义理。通达义理之后，应当策励随顺佛法。随顺佛法之后，应当策励无有愚昧。无有愚昧之后，应当策励欢喜。那是什么缘故呢？因为对于一切有情，更应如此。应当现前引发对于一切有情的大悲心，无论听闻何处，都应当将自身与之结合，并且应当使自身不为他人所左右。诸位王子，这些是初学菩萨们欢喜之处。如是宣说。此处的次第，应当与引导文的段落依次对应。如是，引导文的章节已经简要地阐述完毕。 在此述说： 暇满人身欲取悲心者， 依止殊胜善知识之教诲， 无常等及四谛之入出， 以所缘无量四之修心终， 积累资粮及不共之， 皈依之加行所生菩提心， 世俗谛及彼之学处处， 共同及与不共诀窍俱， 善为相续依止终至胜义， 菩提心胜修习道之次第， 依于大圆满之口诀而， 证得无学双运之宝藏。 如是，此乃宁玛派九乘道引导文之章节略摄，亦是应自身之弟子，智慧极为广大的王子寂护贤之劝请，由说法比丘，胜者之子，名为他利无边光者，于如丹邬金禅定法林之极寂静雪山大乐宫殿中，书写而成，善哉！善哉！！ 宁玛派旧译九乘道引导文之章节精要，圣者之口授。 王子他利无边。

Should be encouraged. After I am well in years, I should be encouraged to understand the times. After understanding the times, I should be encouraged to be indestructible. After being indestructible, I should be encouraged to understand the meaning. After understanding the meaning, I should be encouraged to follow the Dharma. After following the Dharma, I should be encouraged to be without ignorance. After being without ignorance, I should be encouraged to rejoice. What is the reason for this? Because for all sentient beings, it should be even more so. One should manifestly generate great compassion for all sentient beings, and wherever one hears, one should combine oneself with it, and one should ensure that oneself is not swayed by others. O princes, these are the joys of the first bodhisattvas. Thus it is said. The order here should correspond to the sections of the guiding text in order. Thus, the sections of the guiding text have been briefly explained. Here it is said: Those who wish to take compassion on the leisure and endowment, Relying on the excellent spiritual friend's instructions, The impermanence and so forth, the entry and exit of the four truths, In the end, train the mind with the four immeasurables of the object. Accumulating the accumulations and the uncommon, The Bodhicitta born from the practice of refuge, The conventional truth and its objects of learning, Together with the common and uncommon instructions, Relying well on the continuum, ultimately the ultimate, The supreme Bodhicitta, the stages of the path of meditation, Depending on the Great Perfection's oral instructions, Manifest the treasure of the supreme non-learning union. Thus, this is a brief summary of the sections of the guiding text of the Nine Vehicles of the Nyingma school, also at the urging of my own disciple, the prince Śāntarakṣita, who is extremely vast in wisdom, by the Dharma-speaking monk, the son of the Victorious One, named Tāranātha Limitless Light, from the supremely secluded snow mountain Great Bliss Palace of Rudam Orgyen Samten Choling, it was written and spread, may it be virtuous! May it be virtuous!! The essential points of the Nyingma Old Translation Nine Vehicle Path Guide, the oral instructions of the Holy Ones. Prince Tāranātha Limitless.
