The Instructions on the Path, Together with Its Fruity Along with Technical Directions
Homage to the l otus feet of the holy teacher! I should now note the succinct expression of the “Path & Fruit”
[The Extensive Path]
I. [Teaching the Path Common to Both Existence and Nirvana.]
A. [The path taught as the triple appearance.]1
1. Sentient beings perceive impure appearance based on their defilements.
2. Yogins perceive the appearance of meditative experiences based on their concentration.
3. Sugatas perceive pure appearance based on the ornamental circle of their inexhaustible body, speech, and mind.
I. B. [ The path taught as the triple continuity]
1. The causal continuity of the universal field is the root continuity because it contains all of existence and nirvana.2
2. But for the physical body, which is the continuity of method, etc.,3 there is:
a. The causal consecration by means of the four trinities of site, etc., etc.4
b. The teaching by means of the four quinaries on the path, the generation stage, etc.5
c. The protection of the contemplative commitment, etc.6
d. Reparations made to Vajradaka, etc.,7 for faults and transgressions are to be done by satisfaction, etc,, through the five objects of the senses, etc.8
e. Through meditation on the four consecrations during the four times of daily practice of the path, based in the body, obscurations to great bliss become the articulate continuity with their clarification in the awakened state.9
3. The fruitional continuity of the Great Seal is omniscience through the four fruitional consecrations.10
I. C. [The path taught as the four epistemes.]
Having defined the fruit by the four epistemes, 11
I. D. [The path taught as the six instructions.]12
1. Meditative poisons are expelled by the three modes without the fault of incongruity, etc.13
2. (a) [Avoidance of and] reliance on food, activity, breathy semen, and a consort;
(b) bliss of the five essences; and (c) nomeparation from the experience of the five senses: with these one will rely on [i.e., partake of] the nectars.14
3. (a) The four channels of existence, the cakras, and the others,15 (b) On the first and last plane [one knot is released]; by the ten triples there is release through the untying of knots on the intermediate [ten stages].16
4. The poisons of ones perspective are expelled through meditation on the pure conceptualization on the path of clarifying the occurrence of thoughts.17
5. Since the five sense fields are not rejected by the five varieties of sensory consciousness, there is reliance on the nectar [of sensation].18
6. There is release through the pure phenomena dawning as primordially empty.19
I. E. [The path taught as the four aural streams]
There is the nonseverance of the foury the aural stream, of the secret mantrap etc.20
I. F. [ The path taught as the five forms of interdependent origination]21
1. Based on a physical body with distinguishing characteristics,
2. There is the interdependent origination of the limit of existence.
3. This is the interdependent origination dependent on another (paratantra).
4. The path here is the path [leading to] great awakening.
5. The interdependent origination of all phenomena is the sequential episteme.22
6. The purified great awakening is the underlying consciousness (alayavijnana).
7. The path is entirely completed by the five forms of interdependent origination.
I.G. [The special explanation of the protection from obstacles applying to the paths occupied with skillful means, insight, or both.]
1. Obstacles23 to the path for a yogin occupied with skillful means will be protected against as follows: by firm faith; or by the circle of protection, by muttering of mantras’ and by the knot of protection; or by the appearance of phenomena as mind, being interdependent origination, namely, dependent on another. Since the latter is like the reflection in a mirror, he will be thus protected by the nonseparation from the meaning of the ocean of reality.
2. Obstacles to the path for a yogin occupied with insight will come in two forms: external demons, which come when one does not comprehend them as the transformation of the two paths and eight perspectives and accomplishments; and the internal obstacles, which will come when one does not comprehend the signs and the ten paths, etc. There will be protection for these yogins when these obstacles are comprehended correctly.24
3. There is protection from the veils, the obscurations, and the loss of seminal fluid.25
II. [Teaching the Existential Path in which the Cakras Are Coaxed.]26
A. [Summary of the cause for the arising of concentration.]
1. Having obtained, from the path of accumulation, the four fruits separating one from the ordinary body speech and mind,27
2. By means of the three ways of coalescing the essence in the [seven] balanced modes,28
3. If one traverses the path according to the thirty-seven elements of awakening,29 having self-empowered30 the vital wind and the mind,
4. Then there are the four bases of psychic power (rddhipada)31 relating to undissipated cultivation32 the wind of activity and the masculine, feminine, and neuter winds.33 Because there is incineration by the gnosis of crossing overy34 at the first coalescence of the essence the channels open up as if by the winter wind with its “implement” [its frigid bite].35 [Thus there is discomfort] such as mental experience,36 dreaming of hones, etc., and physical discomfort in the channels. There are the knots of the various channels, etc,
5. The primary [and subsidiary] vital winds make ten. By the seven determinants of their constraint, the [five] subsidiary vital winds are by degrees internally arrested.37 Many of the seminal nuclei open up and become blended together with the foundation38 Based on that [meditation], the mind resides internally; the jive consciousnesses are collected internally; the jive aggregates are tamed; and there is the intermittent arrival and departure of gnosis.
6. There are visions, dreams, and [physical] experiences relating to undissipated cultivation, in three sections each [resulting in nine items total]. In the case of that [“heat”] preceded by conceptualization, the experience modifier the appearance of the triple world39
7. (a)40 When “earth” merges into “water”, there is an illusion. When “water” merges into “fire”, there is smoke. When “fire” merges into “air”, there is the appearance of fireflies. When “air” merges into consciousness, there is the ignition of a butter lamp. When consciousness merges into clear light, it is like the sky on a cloudless day. When the vital wind of “earth”, “water”, “fire”, or “air” coalesces with the mind, then [in the case of the vital wind of fire,] the entire triple world appears as if on fire. With the vital wind of water, the follicles of the body feel cold. With the vital wind of air} the mind cannot concentrate, and [in sleep, one dreams of] ones own flight and the rising of flocks of birds.41 With the equal operation of all four of the elemental vital winds [earthy, water, fire, and air], various goddesses offer their dance [in visions and dreams]. With the various mixtures of the vital winds of the four elements, one experiences smells and taster. With the preponderance of the vital wind of “space” [coalescing with the mindj, there is the physical feeling of bliss in the follicles.42
b. With the five nectars there is [the vision of] the bodies, etc., of the Sugatas.43 Through the Sihla [menstrual blood] there is the experience of the sun. Through the Gapura [semen] there is the experience of the moon. By the subtle seminal nuclei in the minor channels, there is the experience of the many stars.
c. (i) In controlling the channels, etc., there are the experiences of [the body as] a tree trunk and of the five emotions: desire, anger, and the rest [present as letters in the heart].44 There are the channels of anxiety, of sorrow, of demons, and the appearance of tears and yawning through the tear channel
c. (ii) One might coalesce in equal measure the vital wind and mind into the letters of the six families which first come together in the navel [during gestation].45 If so, then the whole triple world appears in light of the experience of being led into [birth among] the six families [of being, feeling] their dances and [vocalizing] their mantras; the experience is carried over into dreams and physical sensations.
c. (iii) From OM there is the concentration (samadhi) of meditation (dhyana), etc.46 If [the mind/vital wind] correctly merges into the AH of the woman’s “sky”, then the entire triple world appears as space. If they are merged into the citadel of the great mother, the perfection of insight, etc., then one experiences the dharmakaya and the liberation of subject and object. If [merged] into the clarity and lightness developed from the HUM, then one experiences the very pure sky of the self-originated gnosis. The channels are opened by the gradually abating “implement” of the wind in the intermediate coalescence of the essence.47 So, even with the discomfort of the seminal nuclei, there is stability of the visions in the world.48
II. B. [Explanation of the path that extensively delineates the cause for the rise of meditation.]49
Briefly, in [the letters] RAKSA, etc., the demons, etc., there is the sound from that which has a bell and vision like the pure eye of the gods.50 These are considered the occurrence of meditative experience from the “zenith of existence” (bhavagra) on down.51 Showing what is inexpressible, this method is hidden to [those on] the five [paths] and the ten [stages of the method of the Mahayana perfections].52
II. C. [The explanation of the path separate from hope and fear.]
The triple ternaries of inverted vital wind, etc., are the external interdependent origination of undissipated cultivation.53 The internal [interdependent origination] consists of the Jive dakinis [= five winds] and the five bodies of the Tathagatas [= five secretions].54 These [external and internal interdependent originations] are made the interdependent origination of great awakening. By this action, the yogin knows that the perfected powers (siddhi) arise from his own body. With this understanding, the thought of hoping or searching for these (siddhis) is cleansed. Knowing that the demons and obstacles to meditation are one’s own path and interdependent origination, then the defects are taken up as qualities. Thus, the intensity (heat: usmagata: drod) of the path, in order or out of order, is accepted for the chaos it is.55
II. D. [The path explained as the four awakenings.]56
As the Devaputra Mara comes on the path for a yogin occupied with insight, he is protected by the four awakenings.57
II. E. [Explanation of the path of the four bases of recollection.]58
Now the four bases of recollection pertaining to undissipated cultivation: As the sensory fields have been obstructed, the yogin thinks of the necessity of summoning and generating one’s chosen divinity} since there must be equal divisions within the meditation.59
II. F. [Fruit of the four bases of recollection]60
At the final coalescence of the essence, the channels are opened as if by [the summer] wind, which is without an ”implement” [harsh bite],61 With the coalescence of the seminal fluid within the six sensesy the yogin correctly cognizes the six recollections (anusmrti).62 He sees some nirmanakayas. Now as to the four correct renunciations (samyakprahdna)63 relating to undissipated cultivation [during the fourth consecration]: The disciple reflects on the cognition arisen following the third consecration by [his guru who is the same as] the nirmanakaya. He seeks for the hidden vein in his consort, a twelve-year-old “padmini”, who is a “happy one”, etc.64 The heart’s A [goes] to the tip of the “nose” of the avadhuti [central channel] and the “leisurely” and “mobile”, etc., forms of the vital wind are pushed within [the central channel] by the intellect with seasoned intelligence.65 By this means, there occurs the vajra posture of the body, speech, and mind.66 Then the vital wind is pressed by the seminal fluid [into the central channel]. Thus, one does not hear the sound of drums, etc., [and becomes unreceptive to the senses]. By these and indicative of them, one overcomes the Maras [obstacles] of thinking “this is sufficient”, etc. At that pointy the path of the internal Buddhas has proceeded to the zenith of existence. Although [previously] tolerance toward unarisen phenomena (anutpattikadharmaksanti) was difficult, now [the yogin experiences] tolerance toward emptiness. In the central channel, his mind returns to the nonconceptual, and even if the mind should migrate, there is tolerance. This is beyond all existential phenomena. Since the phenomena on the path of nirvana is completely perfected, this path constitutes the best of all phenomena (agradharma).
II. G. [Conclusion.]
In that manner – whether the experience is defective or not – the mind and vital wind are brought together into the “A of external form” and moved upward. Those elements arisen on the path are essence, proper nature, and characteristics.67
III. [Teaching the Supermundane Path That Revolves the Cakras.]
III.A 1. On the supermundane pathy by means of the path of external and internal interdependent origination.
The yogin obtains the naturally spontaneous nirmanakaya. Because of the generation stage path, one completes the vase consecration which purifies the body.
Now as to the seven branches of awakening that constitute the sign of this obtainments reality: they are the four citadels of the precious veins and the three ladies.68 Having thus seen the physical mandala, one engages the coming and going of conceptualization.69 He vibrates70 a hundred pure lands of the nirmanakayas, Intern [to the nirmanakayas in these hundred pure lands preach the Dharma], gives a hundred gifts, diffuses a hundred lights, teaches a hundred of those below himself, and becomes able to enter into a hundred different contemplations.71 Having in particular seen the basis for human existence72 in the vein of the six realms of beings, he experiences both happiness and apprehension.73 He is repulsed by [his previous] shameful behavior. At this moment he realizes the doctrines of the indivisibility of samsara and nirvana (‘khor ‘das dbyer med), which the teacher had previously imparted during the causal consecration.74 Then compassion is born, and tears naturally come. The yogin understands the different mentalities of others and bursts into laughter when he sees the various sensory objects. Because he sees the interior pure lands, [he can demonstrate] all the various miracles in a single moment.75 What is not seen internally is likewise not observed externally.At this moment, his penis becomes erect. In the same way as it is experienced when the seminal fluid is held at the tip of the vajra in the natural level,76 his entire body is intoxicated with bliss, and he feels overcome. He does not recognize the differentiation of self or other. The internal sign is that the breaths of inhalation and exhalation are each arrested by an inch.77 The external sign is that half the genital cakra is firm with the seminal fluid. This is the first stage, that of the path of vision.
2. Moreover, from the nirmanakaya the four fourfold consecrations are received.78 From the second staget which is on the path of cultivation, the yogin is able to vibrate, etc., a thousand pure lands of the nirmanakaya, etc. His qualities, etc., increase, and the coming and going [of conceptualization] cease. The internal sign is that inhalation and exhalation are each arrested by six inches. The external sign is that genital, navely and heart cakras are firm with the seminal fluid. He sees some of the sambhogakayas. This is the sixth stage, on the path of cultivation.
III.B. Again, from the sambhogakaya the four fourfold consecrations are received. Through the path on which is practiced the self-consecration, the yogin obtains the naturally spontaneous sambhogakaya. This is the conclusion of the secret consecration that purifies speech. The sign of its reality is that the yogin obtains authority over thejive faculties and over the five vital winds of the jive vitalfluids.79 He is unhindered in jive abilities and unhindered in his use of the gazes.80 He sees the seeds of the six families of beings within the bhagamandala and gains authority over the six seed syllables.81 He is able to teach the Dharma to beings in their own languages, and [his understanding] is unhindered toward the general and specific characteristics of phenomena,82 Having seen the eight source letters in the navel as [i.e., transform into] the vowels and consonants, he becomes unhindered toward the twelve branches of the Dharma announced by the Buddha and contained in the sutrapitaka.83 He is able to enjoy the jive nectars and the six flavors. The “pure sounds” are clarified by the six verse feet of “the syllable A”, etc.84 From the seventh stage up, he is able to vibrate, etc., the 108 pure lands of the sambhogakaya, etc., sealed within the four cakras.85 The internal sign is that inhalation and exhalation are each arrested by fully ten inches. The external sign is that as far as the throat and eyebrow cakras，the cakras are firm with the seminal fluid. This is the tenth stagey on the path of cultivation.
III.C. Again, from the dharmakaya the four fourfold consecrations are received. The path on which is practiced the method of the mandalacakra, purifies the mind.86 By means of that path, the yogin obtains the naturally spontaneous dharmakaya; this is the conclusion of the insight-gnosis consecration. The sign of its reality is that the yogin sees the fundamental bodhicittamandalay which is the quintessential essence that control the five powers and the five vital winds of bodhicitta; with the vision the signs become apparent.87 Having obtained the consecration of the three bodies of the Buddha and the five forms of gnosis, etc.y if one sees the Jive nectars coalescing into the appropriate vein, then one views the Buddhas working for the benefit of others.88 If one is sees the seminal fluid coalesced into [central channel from] the nirmanacakra [in the navel] to the mahasukhacakra [in the fontanel], then he sees the Buddhas subtly residing in the locus of Akanistha. If he sees the jive nectars and the five vital winds coalesce into the nirmanacakra in the navels then he sees the five families of the sambhogakaya, who. resident in the mothers’ bhaga, disseminate the secret [mantra path] to worthy bodhisattvas.89 If he sees the mudras quintessential essence, then he becomes unhindered toward the supercognitions.90 If he leads the essence into the letters inside the veins, then be will be unhindered toward magical powers. If he is subsequently reincarnated， then he will remember his previous existences. The internal sign is that inhalation and exhalation are each arrested by all twelve inches.91 The external sign is that the entire fontanel cakra is firm with the seminal fluid. This is the twelfth stage, on the path of cultivation.
III.D
1. Again, there is the four fourfold consecration. Through this path of culmination there is the ultimate purification by means of the ultimate interdependent origination. Through this path of the adamantine wave (rdo rje rba rlabs), there is the highest perfection of the Great Seal (mahdmudrd). It is the knowledge being (vidyapurusa), the path of the purification of ordinary existence. With this, the yogin obtains the naturally spontaneous svabhavikakaya. This stage is the culmination of the fourth consecration of the body, speech, and mind. The sign of its reality is that the eightfold noble path consists of the obtainment of the two fruits with the purification of the eight consciousnesses.92 Then this great earth is happy, delighted, and overjoyed, so that it quakes in six different ways.93 Sound [of defeat] resounds in the residence of Mara.94 The yogin sees the triple world in the place of the mudrd.95 Dakas assemble coming from distant areas. The eight varieties of dominion arise: minuteness and the rest.96 The internal sign is that both the vital winds of inhalation and exhalation enter into the central channel. The external sign is that half the usnisa is firm with the seminal fluid. This is the twelfth and a half stage.
2. Proceeding to the culmination of the fourth，or mental, consecration, the yogin obtains the unique fruity which is the sign of its reality,97 By means of bodhicitta, he breaks open the realm of existence which is the city of the Vindhya prince (*vindhyakumaranagaradharmadhatu).98 The yogin is able to vibrate, etc., myriads (prasuta) of the fruitional dharmakaya pure lands, etc.99 As soon as he obtains the thirteenth stage, he attracts consorts of the tenth stage, etc. The coalescence of the savor of the Tathagatas of the three times becomes the preceptor. By means of the interdependent origination that obtaim accomplishment in the vagina through the indivisibility of the chosen divinity and the teachery there is the path that completely purifies existence. Obtaining the naturally spontaneous exceedingly pure svabhavikakaya is the culmination of the fruit. The sign of its reality is that he is able to vibrate, etc., the fruitional svabhavikakaya pure lands without exception, etc. The internal sign is that the vital winds of inspiration and expiration are arrested in the central channel. The external sign is that the entire usnha is firm with seminal fluid. By means of the dissolution of the four gradations (gros bzhi thims) – which constitute the interdependent originations of exterior and interior – since there is a transformation and elimination of defects in the experience of cultivation that has previously occurred, the yogin arrives at the thirteenth stage100. Then he becomes omniscient.
3. On this thirteenth stage, that of Vajradhara, interdependent origination appears as if in complete conformity. At the point at which he becomes a Buddha, all bis retinue also become Buddhas as a unit.
IV A. Now the adamantine vehicle of secret spells is really constituted by consecrations: those of the cause, the path, and the fruit. Although it is marked by conceptual thought, it realizes nonconceptual reality. Accordingly, there is the appearance of gnosis.
B. [The Deep Path, Middling Path, and Abbreviated Path]
The deep path of the teacher, the esoteric commitment, and the individual suppression through the physical body (*vapuhpratisamkhyanirodha).
[Colophon]
