无死圣母 · 第9章：如何为他人修持无死圣母心髓

by Tulku Orgyen Tobgyal

乌金督佳仁波切讲授

In the Chimé Phakmé Nyingtik, we meditate on the deity Jetsun Tara, Wish-Fulfilling Wheel, who has seven eyes. On her lap sits her male consort, the Lord of Dance Amitayus,⁹⁸ who is white suffused with red. Jetsun Tara and Amitayus in union are the samayasattva. We don’t have time to go into their ornaments and ritual objects, but as this assembly—everyone gathered here in Lerab Ling—is made up almost exclusively of great Chimé Phakmé Nyingtik practitioners, that kind of explanation isn’t so necessary.

无死圣母心髓中，我们观修具七眼的至尊度母如意轮。她腿上坐着佛父舞自在无量寿佛[98]，身白泛红。双运的至尊度母与无量寿佛，是三昧耶尊。我们没有时间详谈他们的庄严与法器；不过，这一集会，也就是聚在勒拉林的大家，几乎全是无死圣母心髓的大修行者，这类解释也就不那么必要了。

In the centre of Tara’s heart sits Amitayus, the Buddha of Limitless Life. He is brilliant white and wears all the silks and jewel ornaments of a sambhogakaya. He sits on a lotus and moon disc seat holding a vase of longevity, his hands form the mudra of meditation and in his heart is the samadhisattva, which in this case is a white syllable TAM. These are the three nested sattvas.

度母心间中央，坐着无量寿佛。身皎洁明白，具报身一切绸衣宝饰，坐莲花月轮座，持长寿瓶，双手结禅定印。他心间是三摩地尊，此处为白色 TAM 字。这就是三重萨埵。

What I will explain today is how to direct the practice of Chimé Phakmé Nyingtik so that it extends the life of Sogyal Rinpoche. This will be my main point.

今天要解释的，是如何将无死圣母心髓修法用于延长索甲仁波切的寿命。这是我要讲的重点。

When we do this practice of long life for an ordinary person, we visualize that person in the belly of the TAM. When we practise for a master from whom we’ve received empowerments, we visualize him in the circle at the top of the white syllable TAM, sitting in the upright posture. Visualize his features very clearly as you meditate. Revolving clockwise around the TAM are the ten syllables of the Tara mantra, each resonating with its own sound. By reciting the mantra, we invoke Amitayus’ wisdom mind. From the syllable TAM and the mantra mala, inconceivably numerous rays of light shine from the crown of Amitayus’ head, flaring up through Tara’s body and out through the ushnisha at the top of her head. The light manifests as countless Ushnisha Vijayas as infinite as specks of dust in sunbeams, who stream out in every direction filling the universe. With their iron hooks, they draw the five outer elements, the five inner aggregates and the secret wisdom, love and power of all the buddhas and their heirs like iron filings to a magnet and deposit it all in their vases. As the empowerment is granted, all this nectar dissolves into the body of the master who is visualized in the syllable TAM. Consider without any doubt that the master’s body, speech and mind are now beyond change or decay and that he has gained the indestructible vajra body of immortality. This is the visualization we do when we practise for our master.

为普通人修长寿法时，将那个人观在 TAM 字腹中。若为曾向我们传授灌顶的上师修，则观上师端直坐于白色 TAM 字顶部的圆圈内。禅修时，极其清晰地观其容貌特征。TAM 周围，度母十字咒顺时针旋转，每字发出自身声音。持咒祈请无量寿佛的智慧心。从 TAM 字与咒鬘，放出不可思议无数光芒，经无量寿佛头顶，向上穿过度母身体，从她头顶肉髻射出。光化为无量尊胜佛母，如阳光中的微尘般无尽，向各方流出，充满宇宙。她们以铁钩，如磁铁吸铁屑般，摄集外五大、内五蕴，以及诸佛佛子秘密的智、悲、力，悉数置于瓶中。赐予灌顶时，一切甘露融入观于 TAM 字中的上师身体。毫无疑惑地确信，上师身语意如今超越变化衰败，获得不坏的无死金刚身。为上师修法时，就作这样的观想。

I’ll now say a few words about the nectar gathered by the Ushnisha Vijayas, the quicksilver of accomplishment which is pure white. What is it made up of? What gives it its power? This nectar is the quintessence of the wisdom, love and power of the buddhas of the ten directions and their heirs. It is the quintessence of longevity and immortality and of the buddha’s enlightened body, speech and mind. It is the quintessence of all five elements and of the vitality of all sentient beings, gods, nagas, human beings and so on. These are the pure essences that fill Ushnisha Vijayas’ vases. Generally, we think of the five elements of earth, water, fire, air and space as being the elements that form this world. But actually, they extend much farther than that. The five elements we are talking about here form the basis of billions of universes extending to the far reaches of space, and the Ushnisha Vijayas gather the elemental essence of all these universes. The quicksilver of accomplishment is so powerful that if you taste even a single drop and it then dissolves into your body, it will restore the loss of your vitality, the strength of your mind will increase as long as space endures and you will be endowed with,

现在略说尊胜佛母所摄的甘露，即纯白的成就水银。它由什么组成？什么赋予它力量？这甘露是十方诸佛佛子智、悲、力的精髓，是长寿、无死与佛的觉悟身语意之精髓，也是五大及一切有情、天人、龙、人等生命活力的精髓。这些清净精华充满尊胜佛母的宝瓶。通常，我们将地、水、火、风、空五大视为构成此世界的元素；实际上，其范围远不止于此。这里所说的五大，构成了延伸至虚空远处的数十亿宇宙的基础，尊胜佛母摄集所有这些宇宙的元素精华。成就水银如此强大，哪怕只尝一滴，融入体内，也能恢复流失的活力；只要虚空存在，你的心力就会增长，并且具有，

… the strength of an elephant; scattered on a dead tree, it would immediately burst into life with leaves, flowers and fruit …

……大象之力；若洒在枯树上，树会立即焕发生机，长出叶、花与果……

Later in the practice at the point in the text when you recite the mantras of the four Taras of the four families and also when you visualize the prayer for summoning longevity (tseguk),⁹⁹ focus on dissolving the nectar of longevity into the body of the lama. The four Taras pacify, enrich, magnetise and subjugate: they pacify all diseases, harmful forces, negativity and obscurations within dharmadhatu; they increase the length of the lama’s life, his merit, wealth and intelligence; they help the lama control the channels, inner air and bindus in his body;¹⁰⁰ and they destroy all the harm caused by enemies, obstacle makers, spells, curses or the demons of the Lord of Death.

修法后段，念诵四部四度母咒时，以及观想招寿祈祷文（tseguk）[99]时，都专注于长寿甘露融入上师身体。四度母行息、增、怀、诛：将一切疾病、损害力量、恶业与障蔽息灭于法界；增长上师的寿命、福德、财富与才智；帮助上师掌控体内的脉、气、明点；[100] 并摧毁敌人、作障者、法术、诅咒或死主魔所造成的一切损害。

At the end, you seal the practice. The dharmata, your true nature which is the same for everyone, will not die as long as space exists. So the dharmata, the mind of the lama and your own mind—the ground of all three is the same—are bound together as one. At this point, you rest in that state in meditative equipoise and attain immortal life.

最后，印持修法。法性，也就是人人相同的真实本性，只要虚空存在，就不会死亡。因此，将法性、上师之心与自心——三者之基相同——系为一体。此时，于禅定中安住这一状态，获得无死寿命。

When Longchenpa was given a sign that he was about to die, he still had things to do and he didn’t want to die right away. So he inhaled and held his breath, and all the portents of death were eliminated. So holding the breath is also very powerful.

龙钦巴出现即将去世的征兆时，尚有事情未完，不想立即离世。因此，他吸气并屏息，所有死亡征兆都被消除。所以，持气也非常有力量。
