This idea that something is not true Dharma because it wavers has arisen. I will examine a little whether this statement is true or not. Wise and impartial people, please discern well who is telling the truth. If it is indeed non-Dharma, then of course it should be stopped if known. If not, then one should not accumulate the karma of abandoning the Dharma. Regarding the statement "it does not exist in India," how could one walk all over India on foot, given the long distance from Tibet? Consider whether one or two people on foot could cover all the small regions of Tibet. It is not certain that all the Buddha's teachings are kept together in large monasteries such as Nalanda. In general, the Buddha's teachings in the Sutras and Tantras are limitless. In particular, how most of the examples of the "Heap of Jewels" and other texts disappeared when the Abhidharma was attacked three times, and that the expanded "Perfection of Wisdom in One Hundred Thousand Verses" was invited by Nagarjuna from the land of the Nagas. If one concludes that something is not the Buddha's teaching simply because it is not found in one monastery that has reached Tibet, this is a very narrow-minded and childish babble. There is no mention of a catalog like the Tibetan Kangyur and Tengyur saying that only this much exists in India. It is also not known that it was printed and collected in one place. Even if some were collected, how could one collect everything? After the Brahmin King Kalyanamitra damaged the teachings, the monks collected the volumes of the Tripitaka from various countries and places, and when the country was destroyed, they also thoroughly collected them. It is said that because the texts of the root gurus were not found, the basis for collection collapsed. Also, in the Secret Mantras, the extent of the Action, Performance, and Yoga Tantras, such as the "Root Tantra of Chakrasamvara," which was not propagated in the human realm, and what is said in the "Chakrasamvara Compendium of Tantras" and the "Essence of Wisdom Collected from All," are difficult to find examples of even in India, and may not exist. None of these have been seen by any translators who have seen them in India, and in the Dharma of the Tripitaka translated in the early translations, no one has been able to compare them by looking at the Indian Sanskrit originals. If even those who can read the Sanskrit originals are rare, how can one know whether all the Secret Mantras exist or not? Not all mantras were made into books from the time of the Buddha and piled up in each monastery. As prophesied, the Secret Mantras arose later, and the collector was Vajrapani and the Dakinis of the Dharmadhatu.

当(某种)禁令解除之时,成就自在者们次第迎请。秘密集会之王因陀罗菩提传承下来,从邬金之地传到印度之后,莲花金刚寻找怖畏金刚的历史,以及在那之后时轮本尊迎请时轮金刚等事迹可以知晓。因此,所有重要的事物,即使那时存在,因为有不示现的禁令,所以不宣扬也是有可能的。因此,对于佛陀的教言,那些半吊子的译师们在一个寺庙里只看到什么,就断定其他都不是佛陀的教言,这就像井底之蛙一样。萨迦班智达说道:‘认为此边仅此而已,以此边仅此而已来推测,超越了众生上师的教言,因此应当考察非边之密意。’又说:‘如果善加考察,就是单眼之人。’如果仅仅因为一两个译师没有见到,就认为不是佛法,那么以前在印度,那些无与伦比的班智达,如莲花生、毗玛拉等见到并开示的佛法,为什么不能理解呢?如果问那旧译经典是怎么回事呢?在俄的《分别文集》中这样写道:‘降阎魔尊是努氏的著作,大圆满虚空大等是毗卢扎那所著。’这样做,不仅不庄严,而且对圣者们进行无法容忍的诽谤,走上了自取灭亡的道路,还做着引诱其他孩子的骗子,真是可悲啊!因为大多数藏人的福报浅薄,如果说译师翻译的就是他自己写的,那么显宗方面,噶、焦等没有翻译的就没有了。除了塔洛的十三部小译作之外,就没有新译了。显宗方面,已经编入目录且没有隐藏,所以在各自的下面,大家都知道,而且译者署名也和以前一样,难道这些是那些译师写的吗?这种愚蠢的话,是否可以在智者集会上说,请思考一下!现在就揭露他们的缺点来说,请听着!那些说前译派的密咒经典是那些译师写的,请问你有什么证据?没有理由的话就是无法容忍的诽谤。如果

When the decree is lifted, the masters of accomplishment invite them in order. The Secret Assembly King Indrabhuti's lineage, after spreading from the land of Oddiyana to India, the story of Lalita seeking Vajrabhairava, and later, the Kalachakra master inviting Kalachakra, etc., can be known. Therefore, all important things, even if they existed at that time, may not be proclaimed because there is a decree not to show them. Therefore, regarding the Buddha's teachings, those half-baked translators, whatever they see in one monastery, decide that everything else is not the Buddha's teaching, which is like the story of a frog in a well. Sakya Pandita said, 'Thinking that this end is only this much, inferring that this end is only this much, it transcends the words of the guru of beings, therefore, one should examine the non-end intention.' And, 'If examined well, it is a one-eyed person.' Furthermore, if one or two translators can say that something is not Dharma just because they have not seen it, then why can't we understand the Dharma that was seen and taught by the great Indian scholars of the past, such as Padmasambhava and Vimalamitra, who were unrivaled? If you ask what about the Nyingma tantras, in Go's 'Collection of Distinctions' it says, 'The Yama cycle is the work of Nub, Dzogchen Namkha Che etc. were written by Vairotsana.' Doing so, not only is it not dignified, but it is also an unbearable slander against the great saints, going down the path of self-destruction, and becoming a deceiver who lures other children, alas! Because most Tibetans have little merit, if you say that whatever the translator translates is what he wrote himself, then in the Sutra side, there is nothing that Ka and Jok etc. have not translated. Apart from Tharlo's thirteen minor translations, there are no new translations. On the Sutra side, they have been cataloged and not hidden, so everyone knows them under their respective names, and the translator's name is still the same as before, are these written by those translators? Consider whether such foolish words can be spoken in a gathering of scholars! Now, listen as I expose their faults! Those who say that the mantra tantras of the early translation school were written by those translators, I ask you, what evidence do you have? Words without reason are unbearable slander. If

你亲眼看见那些续部正在被创作,所以才这样说吗?还是从别人那里听来的?或者你自己分析辨别的?又或者你是通过神通知道后才这样说的?如果不是这些情况,你不可能亲眼看见,因为你存在的时候那些译师们并不在世。如果说是从耳传听来的,那么在你之前的仁钦桑波等译师们都没有这样说过,你又是从哪里听来的?后来的班智达中,名声很大且成为标准的,像整个西藏的怙主、恩德无与伦比的觉沃仁波切那样的人物,都赞叹前译的续部,并没有说过西藏的假续部,那么你相信的话语是从哪里听来的?说出来,值得考察是否合乎道理。但是,谁也找不到这样的来源。无缘无故地,你说这是译师们的作品,仅仅是嫉妒之词,谁会认为这是真的呢?你又怎么能通过理性分析来区分汉地的佛法和西藏的佛法呢?对于隐蔽的、需要衡量的事物,谁会把谁创作或未创作的作者的标志写在论典里呢?因此,如果你说我是通过神通知道那是作品的,如果你是那样具有无欺神通的人,那么,当初说《秘密藏》是被人篡改的,帕廓囊努布写的这种恶语,后来译师和班智达们手中出现了真正的汉文版本并翻译出来,像日月一样照亮大地,一下子消除了之前所有的诽谤,你当初的誓言的漏洞是从哪里来的?因此,就像外道们诽谤释迦牟尼佛一样,说他精通幻术,用幻术迷惑眷属等等。如果考察那些把众生、福薄慧浅的人引向邪道的魔鬼的秘密语言,那么,保留这种空虚的愚蠢之语并随声附和的人,难道不感到羞耻吗?如果智者的话语有理性的理由,那么,没有理由的喧嚣,考察起来就是笑话。因此,对于那样的言论,因为没有成立的理由,所以什么也无法成立。对于它,存在着损害性的理证。

Did you see those tantras being composed with your own eyes, and that's why you say so? Or did you hear it from someone else? Or did you analyze and distinguish it yourself? Or did you know it through clairvoyance and then make such a statement? If it's none of these, it's impossible for you to have seen it, because those translators were not alive when you were. If you say you heard it through oral transmission, then the translators before you, like Rinchen Zangpo, didn't say that, so where did you hear it from? Among the later panditas, those who were famous and became standards, like Jowo Rinpoche, the protector of all Tibet, whose kindness is unparalleled, praised the early translation tantras and didn't say anything about false Tibetan tantras. So where did you hear the words you believe? Tell me, it's worth examining whether it's reasonable or not. However, no one can find such a source. Without reason, you say it's the translators' work, just a word of jealousy. Who would believe that's true? How can you distinguish between Chinese Dharma and Tibetan Dharma through rational analysis? For hidden things that need to be measured, who would write the signs of who composed or didn't compose it in a treatise? Therefore, if you say, 'I know it's a work through my clairvoyance,' if you are such a person with infallible clairvoyance, then, initially saying that the Guhyagarbha Tantra was tampered with, and that Prakok Nangnub wrote it, this evil speech—later, translators and panditas found the real Chinese version and translated it, shining like the sun and moon on this earth, and immediately eliminated all the previous slanders. Where did this flaw in your initial vow come from? Therefore, it's like the heretics slandering the Buddha Shakyamuni, saying he was skilled in illusion, deceiving his retinue with illusion, and so on. If we examine the secret words of demons that lead beings, those with little merit and weak intellect, onto the wrong path, then aren't those who retain such empty, foolish words and echo them ashamed? If the words of the wise have rational reasons, then unreasonable clamor is a joke when examined. Therefore, for such statements, because there is no reason to establish them, nothing can be accomplished. For it, there exists a damaging argument.

如果需要说明以前住在圣地的译师们为何要创作虚假密续的理由,请说出理由。那并不是为了助长破坏佛法的魔业,因为那时不是创作虚假教言的时候。如果是那样,为何不创作所有的显宗经典呢?没有必要和理由只创作密续。也不是为了获得利益,因为那时创作虚假教言不仅得不到利益。由于法王敕令严厉,印度佛经的章节数量等都已确定,不允许有丝毫的文字错误,非常严谨。而且,印度的大班智达成就自在者们都在场作证。法王文殊菩萨亲自住持,进行佛法的讲修,所以不是通过虚假教言获得利益的时候。如巴尔金说,因为玛桑宁创作了作品,受到了国王的惩罚,不得不隐藏了十二年。这表明那时没有传播虚假佛法的权力,所以没有成为驳斥,只是知道自己的话语自相矛盾。总的来说,如果国王敕令严厉,玛仁不得不隐藏十二年,那么努和贝若等创作了更多的密续,法王没有注意到吗?莲花生没有听到吗?即使听到也知道,如果不阻止虚假密续,为何要惩罚玛仁呢?不要说这种自相矛盾的话。如果说班智达成就者法王们那时没有注意到,后来你才知道了,除了不了解考察的孩子们,谁会相信呢?即使你说你的密续也是由不同的译师翻译的,也是一样的。仅仅凭这种话语,谁也无法互相驳斥,所以没有任何意义。为了利益众生,将非佛语说成是佛语,用谎言诽谤佛,侵吞佛法,贤哲和大成就者们怎么会做这种堕地狱的事情呢?这肯定是诽谤。如果那时的高尚人士那样传播虚假佛法,那么后来你去印度说是我翻译的那些人。

If there is a need to explain why the previous translators residing in the sacred land composed false tantras, please state the reason. It was not to promote the work of demons who undermine the Buddha's teachings, because that was not the time to compose false teachings. If that were the case, why not compose all the Sutra teachings as well? There is no need or reason to compose only the Tantras. It was not for the sake of gain, because at that time, composing false teachings would not bring any benefit. Because the Dharma King's decree was strict, the number of chapters and so on in the Indian scriptures had been determined, and no slight textual errors were allowed, it was very meticulous. Moreover, great Indian scholars and accomplished masters were present as witnesses. Dharma King Manjushri himself resided there, engaging in the teaching and practice of the Dharma, so it was not a time to gain benefits through false teachings. As Paljin said, because Ma Sangnying composed a work, he was punished by the king and had to hide for twelve years. This shows that there was no power to spread false Dharma at that time, so it did not become a refutation, but only revealed that his own words were contradictory. In general, if the king's decree was strict and Ma Rin had to hide for twelve years, then didn't the Dharma King notice that Nup and Vairochana and others composed even more tantras? Didn't Padmasambhava hear about it? Even if he heard and knew, if he did not prevent false tantras, why would he punish Ma Rin? Do not say such contradictory things. If you say that the scholars, accomplished ones, and Dharma Kings did not notice it at that time, but you know it later, who would believe it except for children who do not understand investigation? Even if you say that your tantras were also translated by different translators, it is the same. With just such words, no one can refute each other, so there is no meaning. For the sake of benefiting sentient beings, to label non-Buddha-words as Buddha-words, to falsely slander the Buddha, and to usurp the Dharma, how could such wise and greatly accomplished beings do such things that lead to hell? This is definitely slander. If those noble individuals of that time spread false Dharma in that way, then those who later went to India and said, 'I translated them...'
