看到人们在瓜分(我的财产),心想:“哎呀,我死了啊!现在依靠谁,做什么呢?” 于是生起极大的恐惧,如同幼小的孩子被丢弃在荒野,不知何去何从。看到自己的食物和财产被他人使用,心中燃起如火般的强烈嗔恨。总之,会显现出难以想象的、以恐惧和痛苦为主的错觉。由于前世已逝,后世尚未投生,现在无处可依,无所依靠,在中阴中游荡,遭受难以忍受的巨大痛苦的折磨,变得不知所措。你确实是这样,但所有这些都只是中阴的错觉显现,没有丝毫真实存在。这与在梦中体验恐惧没有什么区别。因此,要确信所有显现都是空性中显现的错觉,放下恐惧之心。不要对任何事物产生贪恋,要抓住甚深教言的要点,持续忆念此时需要获得解脱,这一点非常重要。第三,关于中阴的显现:你现在居住的房屋和土地等,居住的业力已经终结。与亲朋好友相处的缘分也已耗尽。享用积累的食物、财产和物品的业力也已分离。寿命的长度已经到达尽头,各自按照前世的业力,前往来世的道路,这是所有事物的规律。寿命已尽的你,以前的所有经历都只剩下习气的痕迹。 现在显现的难以想象的中阴景象,这一切都源于自心的错觉显现,没有丝毫外在的、独立存在的实体。《入行论》中说:“谁造铁燃地?此等火聚何所生?彼等一切佛所说,皆从罪心之所出。” 应当如是理解。这些显现都只是错觉,没有真实存在。因此,不要对美丽的形象、悦耳的声音、芬芳的气味、甘甜的味道和柔软的触感等一切显现产生贪恋和执着。同样,对于丑陋的形象和难听的声音等,也要...

Seeing people dividing (my property), one thinks, "Alas, I am dead! Now who do I rely on, what do I do?" Then arises great fear, like a small child abandoned in the wilderness, not knowing where to go. Seeing one's own food and property being used by others, intense hatred blazes like fire in the heart. In short, unimaginable illusions, dominated by fear and suffering, will appear. Because the previous life has passed and the next has not yet been taken, one now wanders homeless and without support in the bardo, tormented by unbearable great suffering, becoming helpless. You are indeed like this, but all of these are merely illusions appearing in the bardo, and there is not the slightest bit of truth to them. This is no different from experiencing fear in a dream. Therefore, be certain that all appearances are illusions appearing in emptiness, and abandon the mind of fear. Do not be attached to anything, grasp the key points of the profound instructions, and it is very important to continuously remember that one needs to attain liberation at this time. Third, regarding the appearances of the bardo: the karmic force of residing in your current house and land, etc., is now exhausted. The opportunity to associate with friends and relatives is also depleted. The karmic power to enjoy the accumulated food, wealth, and possessions is also separated. When the length of life has reached its end, each goes to the path of the next life according to their previous karma, which is the nature of all things. You, whose life has ended, all previous experiences remain only as traces of habit. Now, all these unimaginable bardo appearances arise from the illusions of one's own mind, and there is not the slightest bit of external, independently existing entity. As it is said in the *Bodhicharyavatara*: "Who made the iron burning ground? From where did these masses of fire arise? All these, the Buddha said, arise from the mind of sin." You should understand it as such. These appearances are merely illusions, and there is no truth to them. Therefore, do not be attached to or cling to any appearances such as beautiful forms, pleasant sounds, fragrant smells, sweet tastes, and soft touches. Similarly, regarding ugly forms and unpleasant sounds, etc., also...

因为是心的错觉,所以不要因为不舒服而憎恨和想抛弃。同样,敌友的显现也只是错觉而已。不要对显现为敌人生起嗔恨,对显现为亲友生起贪执。显现为冷热也是错觉,所以不要不想要被热所苦,不要贪恋和想要寒冷。即使被寒冷所逼迫,也不应该想要抛弃,不应该贪恋温暖。当显现为女性时,不要对男性生起贪恋,对女性生起嗔恨之心。同样,当显现为男性时,不要对女性生起贪恋,对男性生起嗔恨之心。如果对显现为男女的现象生起贪嗔之心,就会进入胎生和卵生。中阴状态的男女显现也只是自己的心识显现而已,因为是对境的意义产生错觉,所以产生贪嗔是错误的。此外,如果对处所产生贪恋,就会进入化生;如果对暖味产生贪恋,就会进入湿生,所以要抛弃对这些的贪恋。对于显现为令人愉快的地域和处所,以及感受到气味是美好的,这些都是没有却显现的错觉,所以不要产生喜忧和贪恋。即使看到刽子手和野兽等令人恐惧的众生,也要确信这是如梦一般的错觉,不要感到害怕。 总而言之, 对于显现为好坏的任何事物,都要抛弃贪嗔、取舍、希望和恐惧等二取执着。如《树问经》中所说:“如明镜之圆满清净,如何无有自性之,面容之圆轮显现般,树慧当知诸法如是。”以及《三摩地王经》中所说:“如幻术师所变现之色,马与象及车乘种种造,于彼如实显现亦无有,一切诸法亦当如是知。”如是,要以猛烈的忆念,一心专注于了知一切法皆是无有自性的如幻之法。而且,中阴的所依是容易变化的,并且由于觉性明晰,此时如果生起贪嗔等罪恶的显现,就会滋养之前的恶业,毫无疑问会堕入恐怖的恶趣深渊。如果生起信心和慈悲等善心,就会滋养之前的善业,最好能获得解脱的果位,最差也能获得善趣的安乐。

Since it is a hallucination of the mind, do not hate or want to abandon it because you are uncomfortable. Similarly, the appearance of enemies and friends is merely an illusion. Do not be angry with those who appear as enemies, and do not be attached to those who appear as friends. The appearance of hot and cold is also an illusion, so do not dislike being tormented by heat, and do not crave or desire cold. Even if threatened by cold, you should not want to abandon it, and you should not be attached to warmth. When the appearance of a female arises, do not be attached to males and do not hate females. Similarly, when the appearance of a male arises, do not be attached to females and do not hate males. If attachment and aversion arise towards the appearance of male and female, one will enter womb-birth and egg-birth. The appearance of male and female in the intermediate state is also merely a manifestation of one's own mind. Because it is a delusion about the meaning of the object, it is wrong to be attached and averse. Furthermore, if craving for a place arises, one will enter miraculous birth; if craving for warmth and taste arises, one will enter moisture-birth, so abandon craving for these. The appearance of pleasant places and regions, and the feeling that smells are pleasant, are illusions that appear even though they are not there, so do not generate joy and sorrow, and do not be attached. Even if you see terrifying beings such as executioners and ferocious animals, be certain that it is a dreamlike illusion and do not be afraid. In short, For anything that appears as good or bad, abandon attachment, aversion, acceptance, rejection, hope, fear, and other dualistic thoughts. As it says in the Sutra Requested by Jamba: "Just as in a perfectly clean mirror, the reflection of a face appears without any inherent nature, so should Jamba understand all phenomena." And as it says in the King of Samadhi Sutra: "Just as a magician conjures up various forms, such as horses, elephants, and chariots, but there is nothing real in them, so should you understand all phenomena." Therefore, with intense mindfulness, focus single-pointedly on realizing that all phenomena are like illusions without inherent existence. Moreover, the basis of the intermediate state is easily changeable, and because of the clarity of awareness, if sinful appearances such as attachment and aversion arise at this time, they will nourish previous bad karma, and there is no doubt that you will fall into the terrifying abyss of the lower realms. If you generate virtuous thoughts such as faith and compassion, you will nourish previous good karma, and at best you will attain the state of liberation, and at worst you will attain the happiness of the higher realms.

獲得是確定無疑的。因為中陰的此時,如秤桿的高低一樣,錯亂則錯亂嚴重,哪怕是微小的貪嗔念頭,也能將你拋入惡道。修持道,解脫的機會也大。因為在此修持片刻,勝過生前經年累月的修持。現在不要讓心受煩惱的控制。中陰的這些顯現都是自顯。要通過了知一切自顯皆是無實如幻,努力修持甚深口訣。如果這樣做,最好是現在就能獲得解脫,最差也能毫無疑問地轉生到天界或人間。因此,你留在身後的親戚、土地、倉庫、財物受用等,不要產生貪戀和吝嗇之心。即使貪戀這些,也已經分離,沒有再相聚的機會了。如果貪戀執著,就會被拋入輪迴,所以要下定決心。像這樣,親友、房屋、受用、財富全部放下,前往後世時,留下的人們以善良的行為供養上師和三寶,佈施給窮人等,以這些善行的力量和幫助,對你會有極大的利益。如《寶女請問經》中所說:「臨命終時至,子女不救護,父母非親眷,彼時唯福佑。」所以不要悲傷。第四,如何修持中陰的訣竅:首先,在生前就要常常憶念,白天的所有顯現都像是真實的中陰,夜晚在夢中也要想著自己正處於中陰之中,並修持中陰的訣竅,這樣才能避免在此時的錯亂。特別是,與根器的層次相應,修持中陰訣竅的方法也有所不同。對於上等根器者,通過依止上師的虔誠信心來修持中陰深道。有些有福之人,不需要通過推理等方法來引導心念生起虔誠心,而是從一開始,所有的念頭生起都自然而然地轉為無造作的虔誠心。所思是上師,所說是祈請,所顯現與上師不分離,能夠如此依賴。

Attainment is undoubtedly certain. Because in this state of Bardo, like the high and low of a balance scale, if there is confusion, the confusion is severe, and even a tiny thought of attachment and aversion can throw you into the lower realms. If you practice the path, the chance of liberation is also great. Because practicing for a moment here is more beneficial than practicing for years in life. Now, do not let the mind be controlled by afflictions. All these appearances of Bardo are self-appearances. By knowing that all self-appearances are unreal like illusions, diligently strive to practice the profound instructions. If you do so, it is best to attain liberation right now, and at worst, you will undoubtedly be reborn in the heavens or as a human. Therefore, do not have thoughts of attachment and stinginess towards your relatives, land, storehouses, wealth, possessions, etc., that you leave behind. Even if you are attached to these, you have already separated, and there is no chance of meeting again. If you are attached and cling, you will be thrown into samsara, so make a firm decision. Like this, relatives, houses, possessions, wealth, all left behind, when passing to the next world, the people left behind should make offerings to the Lama and the Three Jewels with good deeds, give to the poor, etc., and with the power and help of these virtuous deeds, it will be of great benefit to you. As it is said in the Sutra Requested by the Daughter Jewel, "When the time of death arrives, children do not protect, parents are not relatives, at that time only merit is the protector." So do not be sad. Fourth, how to practice the instructions of Bardo: First, in life, one should always remember that all the appearances of the day are like the real Bardo, and at night in dreams, one should also think that one is in the Bardo, and practice the instructions of Bardo, so that one can avoid confusion at this time. In particular, according to the level of faculties, the methods of practicing the Bardo instructions are also different. For those with superior faculties, practice the profound path of Bardo by relying on the devotion and faith in the Lama. Some fortunate people do not need to use methods such as reasoning to lead their minds to generate devotion, but from the beginning, all thoughts that arise naturally turn into unadulterated devotion. What is thought is the Lama, what is spoken is prayer, what appears is inseparable from the Lama, and one is able to rely on it in this way.
