由于已经清楚地解释了母续本尊的鼓声,所以这里不再赘述。第二,为了消除其他人对此的错误理解,分为三点:消除认为经书持有者是虚假的观点;消除认为所有续部都是由藏族人撰写的观点;消除认为根本续部本身存在矛盾的观点。第一点是:全知者(指龙钦巴尊者)在心髓的总义中这样说道:现在有些新派人士说,不依赖上师,仅仅依靠经书来修持本尊,就说能见到本尊的容颜,这是不合理的。因为(这样)对佛语的理解就会变得片面,没有从上师那里听闻,法就没有依据,没有灌顶,道就没有基础。而且,这个授记也不是你们的《幻化网续》等所记载的授记,而是指在印度东方的克里底迦拉城,金刚手菩萨为国王拉巴萨达瓦宣讲瑜伽续部的授记,其出处在《后品律经》中。你们这些人简直是被颠倒的愚痴所蒙蔽,智慧之眼已经瞎了。这种说法是不值得反驳的,因为莲花生大士等大成就者都曾出现,而且以前的译师、国王和菩萨们都对此深信不疑,你的这种错误理解又能动摇什么呢?然而,简单地说几句回答:不依赖上师,仅仅依靠经书来修持本尊,就说见不到本尊的容颜,这也是不合理的。因为佛的化身会根据所化众生的不同而显现不同的形象,如果经书能够调伏众生,那么佛显现在经书中也没有什么矛盾。经书本身成为上师也没有什么矛盾。国王本身被说成是具有统治权的种姓,并且被认为是金刚手菩萨的化身。如果这样,那么在人世间,永远都会存在没有资格掌管佛法的人,这就有过失了。说没有从上师那里听闻,法就没有依据,这是指,即使没有从人类的上师那里听闻,但是金刚手菩萨亲自以瑜伽士的形象显现,宣讲佛法并给予灌顶,怎么会没有道的根基呢?如果因为没有人类的上师就不相信,那么,你又怎么能相信帝洛巴从金刚持那里听闻的法呢?同样,金刚铃论师也是直接从胜乐金刚那里获得传承

Since the sound of the Mother Tantra deity's drum has already been clearly explained in two ways, I will not elaborate on it here. Secondly, to dispel others' misconceptions about it, there are three points: dispelling the view that the scripture holder is false; dispelling the view that all tantras were composed by Tibetans; and dispelling the assertion that the root tantra itself is contradictory. The first point is: The Omniscient One (referring to Longchenpa) said this in the general meaning of the Heart Essence: Here, some new ones say that it is unreasonable to say that one can see the face of the deity by relying on scriptures to practice the deity without relying on a teacher. Because (in this way) the understanding of the Buddha's words will become one-sided, without hearing from the lama, the Dharma has no basis, without empowerment, the path has no foundation. Moreover, this prophecy is not the prophecy recorded in your Mayajala Tantra, etc., but refers to the prophecy in the city of Kritikala in eastern India, where Vajrapani Bodhisattva taught the yoga tantra to King Rabhasadrava, and its source is in the Uttaratantra. You people are simply blinded by inverted ignorance, and the eye of wisdom is blind. This statement is not worth refuting, because great accomplished beings such as Padmasambhava have appeared, and the former translators, kings, and bodhisattvas have all believed in it, so what can your wrong view shake? However, to say a few words in response: It is also unreasonable to say that one cannot see the face of the deity by relying on scriptures to practice the deity without relying on a teacher. Because the incarnation of the Buddha will appear in different forms according to the different beings to be tamed, if the scriptures can tame beings, then there is no contradiction in the Buddha appearing in the scriptures. There is no contradiction in the scriptures themselves becoming the teacher. The king himself is said to be of the lineage with the right to rule, and is considered to be an incarnation of Vajrapani. If this is the case, then in the human world, there will always be people who are not qualified to control the Dharma, which is a fault. Saying that the Dharma has no basis because it has not been heard from the lama means that even if it has not been heard from a human lama, how can there be no foundation for the path when Vajrapani Bodhisattva himself appears as a yogi, teaches the Dharma, and gives empowerment? If you don't believe it because there is no human lama, then how can you believe what Tilopa heard from Vajradhara? Similarly, Vajraghantapa also received the transmission directly from Chakrasamvara.

对于追求,也是同样的。如果说那些是伟大的成就者,那么这里也是同样的,国王本身就是伟大的成就者。对于授记,我们幻化网续中有什么被明确排除的授记吗?即使假设是瑜伽续部产生的,那么金刚手菩萨有什么没有宣说幻化网续等的理由呢?此法具有极强的依据。因为诸佛授记,金刚手菩萨亲自加持,众多成就者依次出现。即使不相信那样的事实,从空行母洲盗取经卷并在赡部洲弘扬,以及在北方香巴拉寻找佛法时,进入南方的大海,以及先前听闻无我母的二观察,后来多弥黑汝嘎从邬金寻找等等,你们各自有矛盾的历史,谁会相信呢?如果你的辩论使我们的法受到损害,那么外道辩论佛教,佛法都会变成有缺陷的,对于你们自诩的咕噜布扎等,如果我们进行辩论,也会变成非法,互相辩论且不和谐,如果不是佛法,那么十八部派的声闻乘,我们认为是对的,他们认为是不对的,这样辩论也会变成非法,并非如此,而是像佛教一样。因此,不应诽谤佛法和个人,在《宝积经》中说:比丘们,我或像我一样的人可以衡量个人和佛法,其他人则不行,因为这是所有障碍中最重的,并且会体验到严重的堕落。等等,引用经典详细地说明了。第二点是,全知上师妙音欢喜这样说:持有“古密咒”名称的基础,从法王松赞干布时期开始,由赤松德赞弘扬和发展,直到阿底峡尊者到来之前翻译的佛法,以及之后翻译的佛法。

It is the same for striving. If those are great accomplished ones, then it is the same here as well, the king himself is truly a great accomplished one. Regarding prophecies, what prophecy is there in our Guhyagarbha Tantra that is explicitly excluded? Even if we assume it originated from the Yoga Tantra, what reason does Vajrapani have for not having spoken the Guhyagarbha Tantra and others? This Dharma has extremely strong basis. Because the Buddhas prophesied, Vajrapani personally blessed, and numerous accomplished ones appeared in succession. Even if you do not believe such facts, stealing scriptures from the Island of Dakinis and propagating them in Jambudvipa, and when searching for Dharma in northern Shambhala, entering the southern ocean, and previously hearing the two examinations of Anatmata, and later Dom bhi Heruka searching from Oddiyana, etc., you each have contradictory histories, who would believe it? If your debate harms our Dharma, then if non-Buddhists debate Buddhism, the Buddhist Dharma will become flawed, and if we debate about your self-proclaimed Guru Puja or Bhuta, etc., it will become non-Dharma, debating each other and not being harmonious, if it is not Dharma, then the eighteen schools of the Shravaka vehicle, we think is right, they think is wrong, such debate will also become non-Dharma, it is not like that, but it is the same as Buddhism. Therefore, one should not slander Dharma and individuals, in the Ratnakuta Sutra it says: Monks, I or someone like me can measure individuals and Dharma, others cannot, because it is the heaviest of all obstacles, and one will experience severe downfall. Etc., quoting scriptures, it is explained in detail. The second point is, Omniscient Lama Jampal Gyepa said this: Holding the basis of the name "Ancient Secret Mantra," starting from the time of Dharma King Songtsen Gampo, promoted and developed by Trisong Detsen, the Dharma translated until the arrival of Jowo Je, and the Dharma translated after that.

从被称为新派来说,所谓的旧译之法,是指包含经律论三藏和密咒六部的法。其中,三藏之法,谁也不会争论是否是佛语。共同密咒如密集金刚等,虽被认为是新派,但也是共同的。不共同的内续三部,是被称为旧法的疑惑之源。那么,产生邪见的种子从何而来呢?在佛教后弘初期,朗达玛灭佛后,鲁梅等建立了僧团。虽然别解脱戒的传承没有中断,但僧人们各自宣讲自己的臆想之法,见解各异,互不相同。身穿蓝色僧裙和阿阇黎红色之足改变了行淫之道,导致阿里地区的僧人们行淫之风盛行。密咒师们也未经上师指导,宣讲自己臆测之法,许多人按字面意思行持双运等,出现了许多邪恶的密咒师,使大多数藏人感到厌烦。当时,拉喇嘛益西沃对密咒师们颁布了文告,其中讲述了共同显宗的道次第,并禁止那些不符合此道次第,自认为是密咒师而肆意行持双运等行为。这并非是答辩之处,而是教诲。大译师仁钦桑波的驳斥邪咒也与此类似,并没有禁止宁玛派。大约从这个时候开始,新派逐渐出现,他们前往印度翻译各种经典。在那里,他们获得了印度广为人知的经典,但由于没有获得那些不为人知的秘密经典,因此感到遗憾。新旧两派互相贪嗔,出现我好我大的局面。恶魔以扰乱佛法和修行者之间的智慧,宣称大多数内续是藏人所著。为了宣扬这一点,米觉拉孜策写了一封诽谤信。考察信中的言辞,说这是译师们所著,印度没有,问了班智达,他们也说不是真的,除了这种出于嫉妒的欺骗之词外,没有其他任何理由。之后,希瓦沃的文告等,以及巴丹等人的驳斥之作,都是种子。由此蔓延开来,那些具有贪嗔之心的人诽谤旧法,实在是不懂啊。

Speaking of what is known as the New Schools, the term "Early Translation Teachings" refers to those teachings that are contained within the three baskets of the Sutras and the six classes of Tantras. Regarding the teachings of the three baskets, no one disputes whether they are the words of the Buddha or not. Common Mantras, such as Guhyasamaja, are considered New Tantras, but they are also common. The uncommon Inner Tantras, the three classes, are the basis for doubt, being called the Old Teachings. So, where did the seed of arising wrong views come from? In the early period of the Later Propagation of the Dharma, after Langdarma destroyed the teachings, Lume and others established the Sangha. Although the lineage of Pratimoksha vows was not broken, the monks each taught their own conceptual Dharma, and their views became different and incompatible. Those with blue monastic robes and the feet of the red Acharyas changed the path of sexual conduct, causing the practice of sexual conduct to flourish among the Sangha in Upper Ngari. The Mantrikas also taught conceptual Dharma, measuring it with their own minds without a teacher. Many evil Mantrikas arose, practicing union and liberation literally, causing most Tibetans to become disgusted. At that time, Lha Lama Yeshe O issued edicts to the Mantrikas, in which he explained the common Sutra path of the Stages of the Path, and forbade those who did not conform to it from claiming to be Mantrikas and recklessly practicing union and liberation. This is not a place for answering, but an instruction. The Great Translator Rinchen Zangpo's refutation of false mantras is similar to this, and there was no prohibition of the Nyingma school. It was around this time that the New Schools gradually emerged, and they went to India to translate various scriptures. There, they took the scriptures that were widely known in India, but they regretted not obtaining the secret scriptures that were not well known, so they made excuses. The New and Old Schools were mutually attached and hateful, and there was a time of "I am good, I am great." Demons, with the wisdom of disrupting the Dharma and individuals, proclaimed that most of the Inner Tantras were written by Tibetans. To proclaim this, Mi Gö Lhatse wrote a defamatory letter. Examining the words in the letter, it says that it was written by the translators, that it is not in India, and that when asked the Pandits, they said it was not true. Other than this deceitful word of jealousy, there is no other reason, not even the size of a sesame seed. After that, the edicts of Zhiwa Ö and the refutations written by Paljin and others were the seeds. Spreading from this, those with attachment and hatred slandered the Early Teachings, truly not understanding.

这种认为因为摇摆不定就不是真正的佛法的想法产生了。我将稍微考察一下这种说法是否属实。有智慧且公正的人们请好好辨别谁说的是真话。如果真的是非佛法,那么知道了当然应该制止。如果不是,那么就不能积累舍弃佛法的恶业。关于“在印度没有”这种说法,西藏道路遥远,靠步行怎么可能走遍整个印度?想想西藏这么小的所有地方,靠一两个步行的人就能走遍吗?像那烂陀寺等大型寺院,也不一定把所有的佛经都放在一起。一般来说,佛陀的教诲在经和续中是无限的。特别是《宝积经》等大多数经典,在法相论受到三次敌对攻击时是如何消失的,以及《十万颂般若经》是龙树菩萨从龙宫请来的。如果因为在传到西藏的一座寺庙里没有,就断定不是佛陀的教诲,这种想法非常狭隘,简直是小孩子的胡言乱语。并没有像西藏的《甘珠尔》和《丹珠尔》那样列出目录说印度只有这些。也没有听说过印刷后集中在一处。即使收集了一些,又怎么可能收集齐全呢?在婆罗门国王胜友破坏佛法之后,比丘们从各个地方收集了三藏的经卷,在国家被摧毁时,也彻底地收集起来。据说因为没有找到根本上师的论著,收集的基础就崩溃了。密法中,《胜乐根本续》等在人间没有弘扬的,以及行续和瑜伽续的尺度,还有《胜乐总集根本续》和《从一切处汇集的智慧精华》等所说的那些,即使在印度也很难找到范本,甚至没有。所有这些都没有见到有从印度见过的译师,早期翻译的经藏佛法中,也没有人能对照印度梵文原本进行比较。如果连能读懂梵文原本的人都很少,又怎么知道所有的密法是否存在呢?并不是所有的密咒从佛陀时代起就被写成书,然后堆放在每个寺庙里。正如预言所说,密法是后来才出现的,结集者是金刚手菩萨和法界的空行母。
