After establishing the entity of meaning, the second is to explain the actual meaning of the words, which has three parts: the beginning, the main body, and the end. The first part is divided into two points: stating the name, and explaining the necessity and how to make aspirations. The first point is "May the early translation teachings flourish," etc., that is, after determining the necessity of naming the treatise at the beginning, as usual, specifically on the actual meaning of the words, with the intention of increasing without falsehood, I make aspirations, praying that the great unsurpassed secret Dharma, the precious teachings of the early translation Vajrayana, the profound inner tantra, mainly the three categories, will become more and more prosperous and widespread. The meaning of what is said is complete, and the immaculate teachings of the Dharma King Khenpo, the three masters, the incarnate translators, pandits, and other holy sons who please all the Buddhas are gathered here without any addition or subtraction, therefore it is called "Thus." The second point is "At that time," etc., that is, what should be engraved in the hearts of the fortunate ones is only the precious teachings of the Buddha. Therefore, at the end of this age of five degenerations, when the supreme Dharma is declining, either by diligently upholding it with one's own strength, or by invoking the lineage of the heart commitment of the Three Roots, the collection of all, the supreme deity, so that the essence of the Buddha's teachings, like a wish-fulfilling jewel that is difficult to find in the three times, can be propagated, flourish, and abide forever in all directions, times, and places. Even if such a desire arises only at a certain moment, it has immeasurable merit. And the main content of the aspiration of the sons of the Buddhas is: to uphold the Dharma in all Buddha-fields, and to mature countless sentient beings by teaching the Dharma to others. When these are all complete, to be born in countless Buddha-fields, and in all lifetimes to conquer the enemies of the four maras, and to encounter the countless Dharmas of the Buddhas, especially the profound meaning of the essence of the Dharma, the profound vehicle, thereby gaining fearless courage in meaning, and through the three ways of teaching, debating, and writing, to uphold, promote, and develop the Dharma, and thereby mature countless sentient beings, so as to quickly in the near future

为了触及佛陀的一切知智，存在必要性。在圣大宝积经的法类中，对舍利子说：如果有人正确地进入大乘，见到这种不悦意和不赞叹，以及正法彻底毁灭的情况，就应极大地生起大精进的力量。例如，应该彻底听闻这种菩萨藏经的法类，受持，书写并保藏，也让其他人理解，并广博而正确地宣说。他还应生起四种认识。哪四种呢？我的父亲的财富之聚将会彻底毁灭。因为世尊如来、应供、正等觉释迦牟尼从无数亿劫以来就已行持苦行。因此，应该受持它，使其不被彻底毁灭，应该完全理解，应该受持，不要浪费。要发起精进。例如，舍利子，如果一个人有一个儿子，可爱、可喜、令人满意且没有不合意之处，当他进入一个大悬崖时，那人会抓住他的手，极其珍惜地想：不要掉入这个众生地狱的悬崖中。同样，舍利子，那些对我有信心，也不完全放弃这无上的珍宝，并且也期望涅槃的圣人，在那个时候将会完全受持正法。我将把这无上的菩提托付给他们。等等广说。在《海慧请问经》中说：受持如来之正法，即是对如来作供养。持有诸佛之宝藏，值得信赖，即是在十方供养诸佛。以佛眼所见之众多刹土，充满珍宝而供养如来，也不如在衰败之时受持正法，功德聚不会增长那么多。以及在《虚空藏请问经》中说：如亿劫

There is a need to touch the omniscient wisdom of the Buddha. In the Dharma categories of the Great Noble Jewel Heap Sutra, it says to Shariputra: If someone correctly enters the Mahayana, seeing such unpleasant and unpraiseworthy things, and the utter destruction of the true Dharma, they should greatly generate the power of great diligence. For example, they should thoroughly listen to this Dharma category of the Sutra, the Bodhisattva Pitaka, hold it, write it down and keep it, also make others understand it, and extensively and correctly proclaim it. They should also generate four recognitions. What are the four? This heap of my father's wealth will be utterly destroyed. Because the Bhagavan, the Tathagata, the Arhat, the Samyaksambuddha Shakyamuni has practiced austerities from countless billions of kalpas. Therefore, it should be held so that it is not utterly destroyed, it should be fully understood, it should be held and not wasted. Exert diligence. For example, Shariputra, if a man has one son, who is lovable, pleasing, satisfactory, and without any unpleasantness, and that son enters a great precipice, that man would grab his hand and cherish him greatly, thinking: 'Do not fall into this precipice of sentient being hell.' Similarly, Shariputra, those noble beings who have faith in me, and do not completely abandon this unsurpassed jewel, and also hope for Nirvana, at that time will completely uphold the true Dharma. I will entrust this supreme Bodhi to them. And so on, extensively spoken. In the Ocean of Intelligence Question Sutra, it says: 'Holding the Tathagata's true Dharma is making offerings to the Tathagata. Holding the treasury of the Buddhas, being trustworthy, is offering to the Buddhas in the ten directions. Filling many Buddha-eye-seen realms with jewels and offering them to the Tathagata, is not as great as holding the Dharma in times of decline; the accumulation of merit will not increase so much.' And in the Akasagarbha Question Sutra, it says: 'Like billions of kalpas'

即使是空谈，也如佛陀的智慧无边无际一样，如来所持的殊胜之法，其福德也同样是不可限量的。正如《入行论》中所说：诸佛执持殊胜之法，菩提行显现于一切处，清净贤善之行，未来一切劫中皆行之。仅仅一次生起信心，此亦转为殊胜之福德。如是说。因此， желающие благ желающие благ 的有缘者，应通过了解原因，无论何时何地，恒常不断地，特别是在大众集会等场合，因其力量强大，应如此发愿。如是说。第二，讲解正文的实际意义，包括祈请三宝根本传承的祈愿文，以及宣说教法伟大的祈愿文。首先分为两部分： общей и частной. 第一部分是：那摩。以“十方”等两颂来表示。其中，那摩是顶礼之意。向谁顶礼呢？如后文将述，向上师、诸佛、菩萨等三宝本尊。由谁顶礼呢？首先是著作者，以及适时发愿者自己。以何种方式顶礼呢？以各自的智慧和能力相符的方式，共同以身语意三门恭敬顶礼。如此顶礼，福德之聚增长，一切所愿皆能成就。如经中所说：具福德之人的所有愿望皆能实现。因此，为了具备此等必要条件，首先要进行顶礼。包括上下等十方无量刹土中安住的，二利究竟的善逝佛陀薄伽梵，以及圣者声闻缘觉菩萨等，成就真语的仙人持明者等眷属。特别是，对于浊世众生发菩提心，如白莲花般受到赞叹的无与伦比的释迦王，以及他所托付教法的文殊菩萨和观世音菩萨等八大菩萨，以及化身声闻大迦叶等十六大阿罗汉眷属和圣众。还有梵天、帝释天、四大天王等白

Even just speaking of emptiness, it is like the Buddha's wisdom, which is boundless. Similarly, the merit of holding the sacred Dharma of the Tathagata is also immeasurable. As it is said in the Bodhicharyavatara: 'The Victorious Ones hold the sacred Dharma, and the practice of Bodhi appears everywhere. I will also practice the pure and virtuous conduct in all future kalpas.' Even generating faith just once, this will transform into the supreme merit. Thus it is said. Therefore, those fortunate ones who desire well-being should, by understanding the reasons, constantly and continuously, at all times and places, and especially on occasions of large gatherings, etc., because of its great power, make aspirations in this way. Thus it is said. Secondly, explaining the actual meaning of the text, including the prayer to invoke the blessings of the Three Jewels and the root lineage, and the prayer to proclaim the greatness of the teachings. First, there are two parts: general and specific. The first part is: Namo. It is indicated by two verses such as 'In the ten directions'. Among them, Namo means to pay homage. To whom do we pay homage? As will be explained later, to the Guru, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and the deities of the Three Jewels. By whom is the homage paid? First, by the author, and by oneself, the one who makes the aspiration at the appropriate time. In what way is the homage paid? In a way that is in accordance with one's own wisdom and ability, commonly with reverence through the three doors of body, speech, and mind. By paying homage in this way, the accumulation of merit increases, and all wishes will be fulfilled. As it is said in the Sutra: 'All the wishes of a person with merit will be fulfilled.' Therefore, in order to possess these necessary conditions, it is necessary to first pay homage. Including the Sugata Buddhas, the Bhagavat, who dwell in the infinite realms of the ten directions, including above and below, and who have perfected the two benefits, as well as the retinue of the Holy Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, Bodhisattvas, etc., the sages who have accomplished the true words, the Vidyadharas, etc. In particular, the incomparable Shakya King, who is praised like a white lotus for generating the mind of enlightenment for the beings of the degenerate age, and Manjushri and Avalokiteshvara, etc., the eight great Bodhisattvas to whom he entrusted the teachings, and the sixteen great Arhats, such as the transformed Shravaka Mahakashyapa, etc., and the assembly of the Holy Ones. Also, Brahma, Indra, the four great kings, etc., the white

以及护方的各位大德，还有具有智慧与慈悲，救护众生的怙主和殊胜助伴们，今天请以慈悲心垂听。如是祈请垂听，愿能真实降临安住，并且如所祈愿之事皆得成办。如《文殊刹土功德庄严经》所说：一切法皆随缘，安住于意愿之顶。无论立下何种愿，皆如是成就。若忆念佛陀，佛陀即安住于其前，恒常加持，并从一切过患中解脱。又说：具足戒律者，愿望成就。如是祈请垂念。所要祈愿的是，成为自他暂时与究竟利乐唯一来源的珍宝佛法。如经部中所广说，往昔于道上示现的导师胜者和菩萨圣者等，亦皆不惜身命，再三艰难寻觅并珍藏于心中的要义。如所将宣说，圆满了显密之身，且具足无量功德，证得了自生化身无死金刚之身的莲花生第二佛的教法，愿离于错谬之垢染的旧译派之宗风，于一切方时处皆能兴盛广大，并长久住世。愿能如是成就，祈请加持。从内心深处如是发愿，下文之义皆可与后文相连。第二，堪布、论师、法王等二颂。也就是从往昔发心的因缘，对于雪域之人恩德胜过佛陀的堪布、论师、法王、毗玛拉米扎等化身译师和班智达的众会，以及具有三传承或六传承的教言和伏藏的持明传承上师大德们，以及本尊四续部或六续部的坛城，三处之勇士和空行母，玛、怙主、星曜、金刚等智慧法界之自在显现，以及承诺守护佛法的，三部传承的誓言者傲慢之众

And the great virtuous ones who protect the directions, as well as those who possess wisdom and compassion, the protectors who save beings and the supreme companions, please listen with compassion today. By expressing such a request to listen, may they actually come and abide, and may all the things that are wished for be accomplished. As it is said in the "Array of the Qualities of the Mañjuśrī Field": All dharmas are according to conditions, They abide at the peak of aspiration. Whatever aspiration one makes, That will be accomplished accordingly. Whoever keeps the Buddha in mind, The Buddha abides before them, Constantly giving blessings, And completely freeing from all faults. And it is said: One who possesses discipline, their wishes are fulfilled. Having requested to be mindful in this way, what is to be prayed for is the precious Buddha Dharma, which is the sole source of temporary and ultimate benefit and happiness for oneself and others. As extensively explained in the sutras, in the past, the teachers who showed the path, the victorious ones, and the bodhisattva saints, etc., also gave up their lives without hesitation, repeatedly searching with difficulty and cherishing in their hearts the essential meaning. As will be explained, the teachings of the second Buddha, Padmasambhava, who has perfected the body of sutra and tantra, possesses immeasurable qualities, and has attained the self-born incarnate immortal vajra body, the early translation school's tradition, which is free from the stain of error, may it flourish and spread in all directions, times, and places, and may it remain for a long time. May it be accomplished in this way, I pray for blessings. From the depths of my heart, I make this aspiration, and the meaning of the following words can be connected to all the subsequent words. Second, Khenpo, Lopon, Dharma King, etc., two verses. That is, from the cause of the aspiration of the past, the assembly of incarnate translators and paṇḍitas such as Khenpo, Lopon, Dharma King, Vimalamitra, etc., whose kindness to the people of the snowy land is greater than that of the Buddha, and the lineage lamas, the great and noble ones of the vidyādhara lineage of the teachings and treasures, who possess the three or six lineages, and the mandala of the yidam deities of the four or six tantra classes, the heroes and ḍākinīs of the three places, Māra, protectors, planets, vajras, etc., the free manifestation of the wisdom realm, and the oath-bound arrogant hosts of the three lineages who have promised to protect the Buddha's teachings.
