These are all gathered here. At all times, observe the nature of your own mind. The samaya is to liberate your own mind-stream through realization. (88) At times, practice the visualization of giving and taking with compassion. Fulfill the hopes of those to be tamed, such as empowerments, transmissions, and instructions. The samaya is to ripen the mind-streams of others with compassion. Dedicate and aspire that all connections through seeing, hearing, remembering, and touching will be born in the realm of Great Bliss. The samaya is to overturn samsara, the Great Vehicle samaya. Thus, the divisions of samaya are briefly summarized. The divisions are clear and easy to put into practice. On the ninth red day of the sixth month of the Horse year, at noon, Ra ga A syas spoke. The petitioner, Tson-drup Gyamtso, wrote it down. If there are any mistakes, I apologize to the wise ones. May all beings perfect the three vows through virtue. Chapter Five, auspiciousness. Cha. From the oral instructions of the mountain dharma retreat, the chapter "Taking Refuge Protects from All Fears" is presented. Namo Ratna Trayaya. (Tibetan: ན་མོ་རཏྣ་ཏྲ་ཡཱ་ཡ།, Sanskrit Devanagari: नमो रत्नत्रयाय, Sanskrit Romanization: Namo Ratna Trayāya, Literal Chinese Meaning: Homage to the Three Jewels) Lama Tson-drup Gyamtso, please do not be distracted, listen to me. Although there are many who take refuge, few know the divisions of refuge. (89) Children, the helpless, and those being punished seek refuge in their parents. Most ordinary people seek refuge in local deities and earth spirits. Non-Buddhist heretics seek refuge in Ishvara, Vishnu, and others. Similarly, Bon practitioners do not take refuge in the Three Jewels. These may be able to temporarily protect from some suffering, but they cannot protect from the suffering of samsara. These objects of refuge themselves have not abandoned the suffering of samsara, so how can they protect others? The objects of refuge are the Three Jewels, but none of the three are ultimate refuges. The Dharma is like a path, one does not need to completely traverse it to reach the other shore. The Sangha is like a companion on the path, they themselves have not separated from fear. Refuge is only the Buddha. Why? Because he has completely purified all faults, his qualities are completely vast, he has conquered all the fears of the four maras (90), he possesses the six types of clairvoyance, he has transcended the suffering of samsara. With loving-kindness, like a loving mother, he watches over beings six times day and night. Because he possesses the power of the ten strengths, he is worthy of refuge, he is the supreme refuge. Thus, regarding the Three Jewels, each

的认识多。 别解脱的宗派是，佛是化身释迦牟尼。 法是四谛法轮。 僧是声闻缘觉二。 预流一来不复还，阿罗汉等是这样说的。 那些是三宝真。 世俗三宝的所依，佛塔佛像和，文字黄色衣服等是。 从今到死作皈依，为何怖畏轮回之恐惧？自己独自作皈依，是小乘的皈依。 佛是法身和色身二，法（91）是大乘三藏。 僧是最初得地者，那是大乘三宝。 从今直到获得菩提，自他一切众生作皈依，是大乘经部的皈依。 事行部的三宝是，佛是三身自性者。 法是事行续部等，僧是明咒成就者等。 时间和想法与经部相同。 瑜伽部的三宝是，佛是五部如来等。 法是瑜伽续部等，僧是勇士勇母的众。 时间和想法与上面相同。 无上部的三宝是，佛是五身自性者。 法是密咒续部等，僧是出世间的，勇士空行护法众。 无上甚深窍诀派，三宝就是上师，心（92）是所有佛的集合。 语是一切正法之生处，身是僧众真三宝。 功德坛城诸天众，事业空行护法众，一切都是上师的游舞。 因此皈依他，上师是佛上师是法，同样上师是僧众，一切的作者是上师。 所说的意义也意指他。 我等和一切众生作皈依，此一生一世此身中，为了获得金刚持上师的，果位而作皈依。 甚深阿底瑜伽的宗派，佛是法身普贤王如来。 法是六十万续部，僧是持明空行母众。 我和一切

The Sangha are the two, Hearers and Solitary Realizers. Stream-enterers, once-returners, and non-returners, It is said that these are Arhats. Those are the actual Three Jewels. The supports of the conventional Three Jewels, are stupas, Buddha images, and, letters and those wearing yellow robes. From now until death, I take refuge. Why fear the fear of samsara?

诸法刹那顷，闻解脱而成佛故，皈依之法乃大圆满派。皈依境观修之差别，在别解脱派中，无皈依境观修之明示。何故一切佛，具足六神通，恒时日夜六时观视众生。以具金刚之眼与耳故，众生有情之一切所思所语，皆能无杂分别知晓听闻。是故不需观修皈依境，思维以口诵念即可。大乘经部之皈依境，与前相同，虽不观修，亦无相违。然欲受皈依心戒者，应迎请释迦牟尼佛为主尊，如大地加持般，于其前行皈依。思维皈依境降临与否。在事行瑜伽三续部中，所依本尊即彼（本尊），为诸佛菩萨所围绕。所祈请之根本上师，以部主之姿安住于顶上。于其前行皈依，思维皈依境降临与否，未曾言及融入自身。无上瑜伽之皈依，于虚空中观修彼本尊，上方上师以部主之姿，诸佛菩萨坛城尊众，观想如云聚般密集，于其前行皈依。大手印派之皈依，于前方海中央，观想如意宝树，具足五枝。中央为上师金刚持，为根本传承上师所围绕。右方为释迦牟尼佛等诸佛众，左方为弥勒佛等僧众，后方为正法经函众，前方为本尊续部之诸尊，中间为空行护法众。彼等之观修方式形貌相似，于长寿灌顶及大悲灌顶时，无需迎请上师无量光佛之智慧尊，无论于何者作意为佛，彼之面前即有能仁（释迦牟尼佛）安住。如是知晓而皈依。除宝树外，观修方式等，多数传承仪轨相似，特别在大圆满传承等中，观想上师为普贤王如来。如是皈依圆满后。

All phenomena in an instant, To become enlightened through hearing and liberation, The method of taking refuge is the Great Perfection tradition. The difference in contemplating the object of refuge, In the Pratimoksha tradition, There is no clear instruction on contemplating the object of refuge. Why is it that all Buddhas, Possessing the six kinds of clairvoyance, Constantly, day and night, in six periods, watch over beings? Because they possess the vajra eye and ear, All that beings, sentient beings, Think and say, all of it, They understand and hear distinctly, without confusion. Therefore, there is no need to contemplate the object of refuge. It is sufficient to think and speak with the mouth. The object of refuge in the Sutra of the Great Vehicle, Is the same as before, and even if not contemplated, There is no contradiction. However, if one wishes to take the vows of refuge and bodhicitta, One should invite Shakyamuni Buddha as the main deity, Like the blessing of the earth, In front of him, take refuge. Consider whether the object of refuge has departed or not. In the three tantras of Kriya, Charya, and Yoga, The chosen deity is that very one, Surrounded by all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The root guru whom one petitions, Resides on the crown of the head in the manner of a lineage lord. In front of him, take refuge. Consider whether the object of refuge has departed or not. It is not taught to dissolve into oneself. The refuge of the Anuttarayoga tradition, In the sky, contemplate that very chosen deity. Above, the guru in the manner of a lineage lord, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, mandala deities, Contemplate them as densely packed like clouds. In front of them, take refuge. In the tradition of Mahamudra, In front, in the center of the ocean, is a wish-fulfilling gem tree, Possessing five branches. In the center is the guru Vajradhara, Surrounded by all the root and lineage gurus. To the right are Shakyamuni Buddha and the assembly of Buddhas, To the left are Maitreya and the assembly of the Sangha, Behind are the assembly of sacred Dharma scriptures, In front are the deities of the tantric classes of chosen deities, In the intermediate spaces are the assemblies of dakinis and Dharma protectors. The manner of contemplating them is similar in form, When performing the longevity empowerment and the Great Compassion empowerment, There is no need to invite the wisdom deity of the guru Amitabha, Whichever one focuses on as the Buddha, In front of him resides the Sage (Shakyamuni Buddha). Knowing this, one takes refuge. Except for the gem tree, the manners of contemplation, The majority of the transmission instructions are similar, Especially in the Great Perfection transmission and so on, Contemplate the guru as Samantabhadra. After completing such a refuge.
