Namo guru Mañjushri ye!
Namo guru Mañjushri ye!
敬礼上师文殊!
THIS LUCID COMMENTARY on the close lineage of severance, or chöd, entitled An Ambrosia Ocean of Sublime Explanations by Pema Lungtok Gyatso[a] is a most excellent treatise that resembles a wish-fulfilling jewel or how all rivers converge with the ocean, in that it brings together the profound key points of the Sutra, Mantra, and Terma traditions without exception. In these degenerate times, the Great Tertön, Vidyadhara Dudjom Lingpa[b]— an emanation of the glorious great guru Dorje Drolöd[c]—appeared to guide disciples. The crown ornament of the one-hundred mahasiddhas of India was the great master Saraha[d][1], who -through pure clear-light visionary awareness- bestowed the blessings of the aural lineage upon Dudjom Lingpa in the manner of the inseparable wisdom mind of teacher and retinue.
These are the sacred instructions that grant liberation to fortunate ones in a single lifetime by means of realizing the dharmakäya rainbow body. This profound chöd commentary of the close lineage[2] sustains the warmth of the dakini's breath and includes teachings that inspire the mind to practice dharma, beginning with the common four thoughts that turn the mind. So that dharma will become the path, there are seven categories of instructions that include the uncommon cycles of refuge and so forth. So that confusion will be pacified on the path, the specific instructions on ka dag trekchö[e] are given. So that confused appearances will dawn as wisdom, there are also the additional instructions for the six-month tögal[f] practice that is part of the terma revelation. If this sacred transmission that is complete and unerring is practiced according to the teachings, then liberation will be brought about in a single lifetime.
During the life of the Tertön himself, there were close to twenty disciples who actually attained the rainbow body through mastery over the four elements.

xxii : DUDJOM LINGPA'S CHÖD Unscathed by poisons and the like, an inconceivable number of accomplished vidyādharas[a] were produced. Over the course of three generations, there have continued to be disciples who achieved the rainbow body as this was predicted by the Tertön himself:
原书第xxii页。
更有不可思议数量的成就持明〔页注a〕出现,毒物等不能损伤。历经三代,仍不断有弟子成就虹光身,正如伏藏师本人所授记:
For three generations, if the continuity of these profound transmissions remains uninterrupted, there will be some one-hundred vidyadharas who will attain the rainbow body.
若在三代之中,这些甚深传承的相续不断,将有约一百位持明成就虹光身。
Thus, he spoke.
他如是说。
This profound method for the severance of the maras was composed by the incarnation of Gyalsey Zhenpen Tayey[b], the omniscient Kyabje Lingtrul Pema Lungtok Gyatso, who was the dharma keeper for all terma revelations of Dudjom Lingpa. He received many empowerments, teachings, and transmissions from the Great Tertön directly and received permission to compose this commentary from the Tertön as well. In addition to that, many principal disciples requested that this commentary be written, including the heart disciple Dorje Namgyal[c] from Rekong who was principal among the thousands of ngakpa[d] lineage holders. Based upon the oral-transmission teachings of the Great Tertön himself, this commentary illuminates hidden meanings, clarifies obscure points, and arranges the order of presentation in a comprehensive way.
The framework for this commentary is based upon the root terma, and that is adorned with the upadeśa[e][3] of the father lineage of upāya[f], the mother lineage of prajñā[g], the nondual lineage of union, and the experiential lineage of the realized ones that are extracted from the teachings of the Buddha[h] the termas, and pure visions. This sublime explanation is the king of all commentaries on the subject of severance. If practiced according to the text itself, then -like how alchemy can transform iron into gold-the chronic disease of the passions will be pacified. Hence, this is like a supreme ambrosia among medicine.
From the point of the four common thoughts that turn the mind through the stage of the union of the two accumulations, the harmonious joining of empty appearances, and inseparable generation and completion all the way to
FOREWORD BY H.H KATOK GETSE MAHÄPANDITA : xxiii the Great Perfection[a] itself, the sacred oral instructions involved here are lacking in nothing. Hence, the meaning of the style of presentation is rich like the jewel treasury of the nãgas found in the depth of the great ocean. These days, it is difficult to encounter a treatise of this caliber that, until now, has not been widely distributed.

I would like to thank the intelligent and well-intended Lama Chönam, who possesses many sacred lineage blessings, for undertaking the translation of this project into the English language. In addition, I offer heartfelt gratitude to the wise and exceptional lotsawa Sangye Khandro, who has diligently studied the Tibetan language and become fluent. Having determined all doubts concerning the innermost meaning of Sutra and Mantra in the presence of many sublime masters, she has great devotion toward the teachings of the Buddha and a pure intention to serve beings. In particular, she has exceptional devotion for this lineage of practice. I rejoice that, together, they have accomplished the task of translating this commentary into English.
我要感谢聪慧、发心纯正、具足许多殊胜传承加持的喇嘛却南,承担将此论译为英文的工作。此外,我向智慧而卓越的大译师桑杰康卓致以衷心感谢。她精勤学习藏语,达到娴熟程度;在许多殊胜上师座前,厘清了显密最深内义的一切疑问,对佛陀教法具有深厚虔敬,以及服务众生的清净意乐。尤其对这一修持传承,她具有非凡的虔敬。我随喜他们共同完成将此释论译成英文的工作。
Not only that, these days, teachings have become sullied by those who fail to realize the true meaning, have incorrect comprehension, or decide to include their own opinions and personal agenda. May this teaching cleanse those negative habits that actually bring ruin to the minds of beings. Just like during the time of the Great Tertön's life and legacy of heirs and disciples, I offer the prayer that, through these efforts, every direction may be filled with male and female practitioners who accomplish vidyadharahood and attain the rainbow body.
不仅如此,如今有人未能证悟真实意义,有人理解错误,有人决定加入自己的意见与个人目的,使教法受到染污。愿此教法清除这些实际上会毁坏众生心灵的恶习。如同大伏藏师在世时及其传人弟子的承继一样,我祈愿,通过这些努力,十方遍满成就持明果位、获得虹光身的男女修行者。
This was written by the one who holds the name of the Fourth Getse of Katok.
此文由持有第四世嘎陀格则之名者撰写。
May virtue prevail! May all be auspicious!
愿善德弘扬!愿一切吉祥!

Saraha was one of the eighty great mahäsiddha masters of ancient India who achieved the state of fully enlightened buddhahood in that lifetime and went on to perform countless miracles and reveal signs of supreme accomplishment in order to inspire disciples for countless generations to come. Heruka Dudjom Lingpa is said to be indivisible with Saraha; and in the state of being nondual, the Tertön revealed his treasure revelations.
1. 萨拉哈是古印度八十大成就师之一,在该生即证圆满佛果,随后示现无数神变与殊胜成就之相,以激励后世无量代弟子。据说嘿噜嘎敦珠林巴与萨拉哈无别;伏藏师即在此无二境界中取出其伏藏。
The words in boldface type within the foreword by H.H. Katok Getse Rinpoche delineate the name of the commentary.
2. 噶陀格则仁波切尊者序言中的粗体字,标示了本论释的名称。
Upadesha are the esoteric or pith instructions that are passed down orally from master to disciple. In the context of Ati as a vehicle, there are four cycles that are outer, inner, secret, and quintessential. The quintessential is the principal cycle, or genre, within which the upadesha transmissions thrive.
3. Upadesha 是由上师口传弟子的秘密教言或窍诀。就阿底乘而言,有外、内、密、极密精髓四类法集;极密精髓是主要法类,窍诀传承在其中兴盛。
