应作是。如是说。然则修持无上菩提时,为断除中断之邪魔,为令一切众生断除四魔烦恼众,安置于断除无上菩提之位,为令教法总及根本上师之,寿命恩德无有中断故,依止并修持本尊空行护法守誓众,乃一切智者成就者之规,虽依止之规相同,然发心有差别。譬如法王让炯多吉(Rangjung Dorje),九位咒师修阎魔成就,彼时云需要遮止疾病。扎巴僧格以阎魔法口诀之,遮止,令咒师之洞穴崩塌,九咒师死,咒师村瘟疫流行,法王身心安乐,饶益教众。如是之能力我等虽无,然发心善则趋入菩提道。彼等乃遮止嗔恨之错处。 (481)本尊忿怒尊如阿达特尔祖(A-tha ther zug)般,如泥像般观为实物时,则错为阎魔及罗刹。马头明王父母等有头饰者,若思为如是畜生之头者,则错为食肉鬼魅有头饰者。寂静之诸神如泥像般,观修则错为色界之天神。如是实物生起次第稳固者,死时意念坚定,中阴时,身形如彼天神之生类,名为持明,生于风神之眷属中。如是心间之种子字吽字亦,若观为实物则说将生为蛇。如是圣种百尊之神众,观为实物则说有百种错处。断除彼等错处之口诀者,以理解断除与以修断除及,以见断除总集为三种。初者佛陀之相(482)乃法身一,身色手印非有定,譬如水晶球极清澈者,座垫置于何处则变为彼之色。如是本尊神之装束亦,寂静与忿怒及寂忿等,头手多少种种皆可显现。如是显现之理由为何耶?于圆满报身之清净刹土一切中,从主尊之口中

Should be done. Thus it is said. However, when accomplishing the unsurpassed Bodhi, In order to cut off the obstructing enemies and demons, And to have all sentient beings cut off the four maras and the collection of afflictions, And to establish them in the state of unsurpassed Bodhi, And for the sake of the general teachings and the root lama, To avert obstacles from their life and kindness, Relying on and accomplishing the yidam, dakini, dharma protectors, and oath-bound guardians, Is the custom of all wise and accomplished ones. Although the manner of reliance is similar, the motivation is different. For example, for Dharma Lord Rangjung Dorje, Nine mantra practitioners accomplished Yamaraja, At that time, it was said that it was necessary to avert illness. Drakpa Sengge, with the Yamaraja's oral instructions, By averting it, caused the cave of the mantra practitioners to collapse. Nine mantra practitioners died, and a terrible disease spread in the mantra village. Dharma Lord's body and mind were at ease, and it benefited the teachings and beings. Although we do not have such power, If the motivation is good, it will lead to the path of Bodhi. These are to prevent the pitfalls of hatred. (481) When the yidam wrathful deity, like A-tha ther zug, Is meditated upon as a real object, like a clay statue, Then it is mistaken for Yamaraja and Rakshasa. Horse-headed Vajrapani, father and mother, etc., who have head ornaments, If one thinks that they have the heads of such animals, Then it is mistaken for flesh-eating ghouls with head ornaments. The peaceful deities, like clay statues, If meditated upon, are mistaken for gods of the form realm. Such a solid generation stage, When one dies, the mind is stable, and in the bardo, The form is like that of a being of such a deity, Called a vidyadhara, born into the retinue of the wind god. Similarly, the seed syllable Hum at the heart, If meditated upon as a real object, it is said that one will be born as a snake. Similarly, the hundred deities of the holy lineage, If meditated upon as real objects, it is said that there are a hundred mistakes. The instructions for cutting off those mistakes are, Cutting off with understanding, cutting off with meditation, and, Cutting off with view, are gathered into three aspects. The first, the form of the Buddha (482) is one with the Dharmakaya, The body color and hand gestures are not fixed. For example, a crystal ball that is extremely clear, Whatever seat it is placed on, it will change to that color. Similarly, the attire of the yidam deity, Peaceful, wrathful, peaceful-wrathful, etc., The number of heads and hands, in various ways, can all appear. What is the reason for appearing in this way? In all the pure realms of the complete Sambhogakaya, From the mouth of the main deity

无需宣说佛法, 仅见主尊身色、手印和表征, 所有眷属皆能领悟其义,通达一切佛法。 三面三身,六手象征六度波罗蜜, 双翼象征方便与智慧, 四足象征四无量心的表征意义。 同样,所有本尊坛城, 皆以装束表征之门宣说佛法。 一切胜者于智慧虚空中为一, 法性义谛本无装束相, 然为善巧调伏,示现各异之身。 邬金大士(莲花生大师)所言即为此意。 如马之迅疾且能跨越广阔之地, 象征迅速行于佛陀之地道。 马头金刚顶上有马头显现。 如猪之不净、无有分别念, 猪面象征无分别之法身。 如人之身躯有好有坏, 天神之装束亦非一成不变。 此乃以理解断除歧途。 其次,以修持断除歧途, 生起次第之显明与清净忆念。 显明如镜中之影像, 清净忆念如虚空之彩虹。 我慢即是自身之本尊慢, 以见解断除歧途, 见解空性与慈悲不离。 如虚空之虹彩,若能证得双运则为上, 若不能,则应交替修持生圆次第。 其后,一些微细的歧途是, 虽有资财,却因吝啬而供养微薄, 供养如饥馑般,仅是维系不断。 此乃堕入饿鬼之境。 若无资财,则应生起信心和智慧来供养。 事续部,不应食用供养之残食。 瑜伽续部,不应轻蔑供养之残食。 无上续部,则应享用供养残食,作为成就之受用。 同样,肉、血、酥油等供养于会供。 因是勇猛之士,故能圆满积聚广大福德资粮。 肉酒等会供之圣物, 若以凡夫食物之贪执而过量食用, 则会堕入饿鬼之口被束缚之境。 以凡夫食物之概念看待会供品, 为守护戒律而对此有所顾忌, 则会堕入水泡地狱。 所谓“堕入”之含义为何? 如道路上稍有偏差就会延误行程一样, 意指暂时于彼处受生。 以上是断除生起次第歧途之法。 其后,修持气脉明点等方便道时,

There is no need to preach the Dharma, Just by seeing the main deity's body color, hand gestures, and symbols, All the attendants understand the meaning and realize all the Dharmas. Three faces and three bodies, six hands symbolize the six perfections, The two wings are skillful means and wisdom, The four feet symbolize the meaning of the four immeasurables. Likewise, all the Yidam deity assemblies, Teach the Dharma through the door of symbolic attire. All Victors are one in the expanse of wisdom, The essence of Dharma nature has no attire, But to skillfully tame, they manifest in various forms. The meaning of what the Great Master of Oddiyana (Padmasambhava) said. Just as a horse is fast and can cross vast lands, It symbolizes quickly traversing the grounds and paths of the Buddha. Hayagriva has a horse face on his head. Just as a pig is unclean and has no conceptual thoughts, The pig face symbolizes the Dharmakaya, which is without conceptualization. Just as a human body has good and bad features, The attire of the deities is not fixed. This is to cut off deviations through understanding. Next, to cut off deviations through meditation, The clarity and pure recollection of the generation stage. The clarity is like a reflection in a mirror, The pure recollection is like a rainbow in the sky. Pride is the pride of oneself as the deity, To cut off deviations through view, The view is emptiness inseparable from compassion. Like a rainbow in the sky, it is excellent if one can achieve union, If not, it is said that one should practice the generation and completion stages alternately. Then, some minor deviations are, Although one has wealth, one's offerings are small due to stinginess, The offerings are like a famine, just barely maintaining continuity. This is said to be deviating into the realm of pretas. If one does not have wealth, one should generate faith and wisdom to make offerings. In the Action Tantra, one should not eat the leftovers of offerings. In the Yoga Tantra, one should not despise the leftovers of offerings. In the Anuttara Tantra, one should enjoy the leftovers of offerings as the enjoyment of accomplishment. Likewise, meat, blood, butter, etc., are offered in the Ganachakra. Because one is a brave person, one can completely accumulate vast merit. If one eats too much of the sacred substances of the Ganachakra, such as meat and alcohol, With the attachment of ordinary food, It is said that one will deviate into the realm of pretas with bound mouths. If one regards the Ganachakra substances as ordinary food, And refrains from them in order to protect the precepts, It is said that one will deviate into the hell of water bubbles. What is the meaning of "deviating"? Just as a slight deviation on the road will delay the journey, It means temporarily taking birth there. The above is the method of cutting off deviations in the generation stage. Then, when practicing the path of means, such as the channels and winds,
