便如实证得成就。一切刹土皆为法界一味,对诸佛而言,无有分别执着与远近亲疏。如是说。 之后国王又问:莲花生大士,那么在堪布的供养仪轨中,为何没有将释迦牟尼佛作为坛城的主尊呢? 国王答道:国王,在堪布的供养仪轨中,未将释迦牟尼佛迎请为坛城主尊,似乎只是略微展示了经部的仪轨。 莲花生大士说:应供养比千佛更具恩德的上师,上师乃是坛城之主。 国王又问:莲师化身,如果将此经部和供养仪轨作为伏藏,安置在朗塘卓玛(今四川甘孜州理塘县)圣地,那么取出此伏藏的人会从何方而来? 会出现地相之类的征兆吗?届时,藏地的众生会有怎样的安乐? 拉萨(今西藏拉萨市)桑耶寺(今西藏山南市桑耶镇)的寺庙会有怎样的兴衰?此法藏的利生事业会有多大? 莲花生大士的心间放出五色光芒,照耀东方天空,遍布整个天空界。 所有的光芒都汇聚在天空中,变成了一面如同倒扣的玻璃镜子。 那面镜子变成了一个一拃长的五股金刚杵,融入莲花生大士的心间。 我们君臣等人以供养轮等实际供品和意幻供品进行供养,并恭敬地顶礼和绕转。 莲花生大士的身体如琉璃般闪耀,接受了夏瓦的禀告,安住在五光缭绕的境界中。 手结说法印,如是说道: 大王为首的有缘者们,请听! 这些甚深佛法的诀窍,将被四种姓的空行母带到朗塘卓玛(今四川甘孜州理塘县)圣地的北方。 藏在绿度母左边的肾脏里。 委托给当地的守护神夜叉阔波看管。 末世之时,与龙王结怨者,将转世于多康(今川西、藏东一带)白塔附近,与此教法相遇,利益众生。 地相是圣地康区(今四川甘孜州一带)的朗塘

Then, one will actually attain accomplishments. All realms are of the single essence of Dharmadhatu; for the Buddhas, there is no clinging to distinctions, nor notions of near and far. Thus he spoke. Then the king asked again: "O Precious Master, why is it that in the offering ritual of the Abbot, Shakyamuni Buddha is not the main deity of the mandala?" The King replied: "O Precious King, in the Abbot's offering ritual, it seems that Shakyamuni Buddha is not invited as the main deity of the mandala; it only slightly demonstrates the scriptures of the Sutra tradition. Guru Rinpoche said: "One should offer to the Lama, who is kinder than a thousand Buddhas; the Lama is the lord of the mandala." Again the king asked: "O Guru, emanation body, if this Sutra and these offering rituals are placed as treasures in the great sacred place of Langtang Dolma (present-day Litang County, Garze Prefecture, Sichuan), from which direction will the person who reveals this treasure come? Will earth signs and other omens appear or not? At that time, what kind of happiness will arise for the beings of Tibet? What kind of rise and fall will occur for the temples of Lhasa (present-day Lhasa, Tibet) and Samye (present-day Samye Town, Shannan, Tibet)? How great will be the benefit to beings from this Dharma treasure?" From the heart of Guru Rinpoche, five-colored rays of light shone towards the eastern sky, pervading the entire expanse of the sky. All the lights gathered in the sky and became like an overturned mirror of crystal. That mirror became a five-pronged crystal vajra about a cubit in size, and dissolved into the heart of Guru Rinpoche. When we, the king and subjects, made offerings with actual and mentally created offerings, such as tsokhor, and respectfully prostrated and circumambulated, Guru Rinpoche, whose body shone like the light of lapis lazuli, accepted the report of Shawa and resided in the realm of swirling five-colored lights. His hand formed the mudra of teaching the Dharma, and he spoke thus: "Listen, all you fortunate ones, headed by the Great King! These profound Dharma instructions will be carried by the dakinis of the four castes to the north of the great sacred place of Langtang Dolma (present-day Litang County, Garze Prefecture, Sichuan). They will be hidden in the left kidney of Green Tara. Entrust it to the local guardian spirit, the yaksha Kholpo, to watch over. At the end of time, one who has enmity with the Naga King will be reborn near the White Stupa in Dokham (present-day eastern Kham, Sichuan and Tibet), and will encounter this teaching and benefit beings. The earth sign is Langtang in the sacred region of Kham (present-day Garze Prefecture, Sichuan).
