FOURTEEN BASIC VIOLATIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS bsrung-bya'i dam-tshig
rtsa-ltung bcu-bzhi, Skt. caturdasamulapatti
To disparage the master; to transgress the three levels of vows; to be hostile to vajra brothers and sisters; to forsake loving kindness on behalf of sentient beings; to abandon the enlightened mind; to disparage one's own doctrine or that of others; to divulge secrets to the immature; to abuse the FIVE COMPONENTS which are primordially pure; to be prejudiced about phenomena which are in any case intrinsically pure; to lack compassion for evil beings, especially those who harm the doctrine; to apply conceptualisa- tion to ineffable nature; to belittle those who have faith; to violate the com- mitments that have been undertaken; and to disparage women, the source of discriminative awareness. The source is Muldpattisan:zgraha, as quoted by Lessing and Wayman, Mkhas Grub RJe's Fundamentals ofthe Buddhist Tantras, (p. 328). 361

FIFTEEN ORDINARY SACRAMENTS (OF EMPOWERMENT) sgrub-rdzas thun-mong bco-lnga
The fifteen ordinary sacraments and the THREE PROFOUND EMPOWER- MENTS together form the eighteen empowerments of Mahayoga. Of these the former include ten outer empowerments of beneficence (phyi-phan-pa'i dbang-bcu) and five inner empowerments of ability (nang nus-pa'i dbang-lnga), while the latter includes the THREE PROFOUND EMPOWERMENTS that are secret (gsang-ba zab-mo'i dbang-gsum). The ten empowerments of beneficence are those of crown ornament, diadem, rosary, armour, victory-banner, seals, parasol, vase, food and drink, and the five essences. For their significance, see Longcenpa, Dispelling Darkness in the Ten Directions, pp. 376-9 (GGFTC, pp. 878-9). The five empowerments of ability are listed under the FIVE EMPOWERMENTS OF THE SECRET NUCLEUS. 701

be indivisible performs conduct which destroys the four enemies of view and conduct (glang-chen spyod). (5) In the manner of a tiger whose aggressive spirit is fierce, overbearing and hostile, the powerful discipline of heroic contemplation which realises the abiding nature performs rites of "liberation" and transference of consciousness for those students who are aggressive (stag). (6) In the manner of a great garu4a who glides effortlessly through the sky and discerns all without special regard, the view is one of effortless conduct through realisation of the indivisibility of the expanse and pristine cognition (khyung-chen). (7) In the manner of a bear who terrifies and crushes whatever it focuses upon without hesitation, one who has plumbed the depths of the view and conduct of yoga is disciplined in the rites of sorcery and sexual union without hesitation (dom). (8) In the manner of an ocean whose golden depths are unmoved is the discipline of firm unchanging mind which is able (to understand) the profound secret meaning and experiential cultiva- tion (rgya-mtsho). (9) In the manner of a dumb mute who neither accepts nor rejects is the discipline which reaches the limit of discriminative aware- ness, realising selflessness by impartial meditative absorption (lkug-pa gti- mug-can). (10) In the manner of unmoving Mount Sumeru is the discipline of skilful means which depends on the unwavering antidote of unchanging loyalty to teacher and friends, and on the sinking into and grasping of contemplation (ri-rab mi-gYo-ba). (11) In the manner of the vast and extensive sky which accomodates everything without acceptance and rejection is the discipline which is warm and hospitable to fraternal yogins and the conduct which does not lapse from the vehicle of saq1sara and nirval). a but remains within this view and conduct of supreme identity (nam-mkha'). (12) In the manner of a thunderbolt which falls and destroys is the discipline which unimpededly destroys all enemies and obstacles by forceful contemplation (thog). (13) In the manner ofYajrapal). i who destroys all who hold erroneous views, the yogin performs the discipline through which, having meditated on the wrathful deity, one cuts through and destroys these views without hesitation (lag-na-rdo-rje). (14) In the manner of a crow who looks out for both enemies and plunder at the same time, is the discipline of skilful means which perseveres simultaneously in constant renunciation and enterprise (bya-rog). (15) In the manner of an elephant who plunges into water without regard for being soaked or unsoaked, one who has plumbed the depths of the view and conduct of supreme identity practises without the duality of renunci- ation and acceptance, and practises the discipline of the four rites of enlightened activity without discriminating among those who require training (glang-chen). (16) In the manner of a friendless lion who sits alone is the discipline which
sustains the view and meditation by abiding in solitude after renouncing those disharmonious associations of view and conduct (seng-ge). (17) In the manner of a duck who easily associates without marriage, so is the discipline which associates without ties and the skilful means which cause sentient beings to reach the happiness of liberation through compassion and loving kindness (ngang-pa). (18) In the manner of a magician who constructs illu- sions, one who meditates and teaches having understood components and activity fields to be the apparitional maf. l4ala of the conquerors enacts discip- line through skilful means (sgyu-ma-mkhan).

thoughts through compassion experienced in view and conduct, arrays such consciousness in an uncorrupted (realm), and thus perfects the provisions (ce-spyang). (21) In the manner of lightning which illuminates everything
swiftly and simultaneously is the discipline which perseveres so that one's own benefit be attained and others' benefit be swiftly attained through ex- periential cultivation of the path (glog). (22) In the manner of a vulture who
avoids the taking of life as a moral discipline is the discipline which delights in and sustains commitments associated with supreme identity but appears not to indulge in other vehicles connected with disciplinary conduct (bya-
rgod). (23) In the manner of a modest king who rules the kingdom and dearly protects his retinue rather than himself, the yogin performs acts of pure delightful discipline, protects living beings by realising all things not on behalf of himself but for others, and overpowers the kingdom by the discipline
which strives through skilful means to experience and realise the indivisibility ofthe expanse and pristine cognition as supreme bliss (rgyal-po bag-ldan). 367

FOURTEEN
FOURTEEN BASIC VIOLATIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS bsrung-bya'i dam-tshig
rtsa-ltung bcu-bzhi, Skt. caturdasamulapatti
To disparage the master; to transgress the three levels of vows; to be hostile to vajra brothers and sisters; to forsake loving kindness on behalf of sentient beings; to abandon the enlightened mind; to disparage one's own doctrine or that of others; to divulge secrets to the immature; to abuse the FIVE COMPONENTS which are primordially pure; to be prejudiced about phenomena which are in any case intrinsically pure; to lack compassion for evil beings, especially those who harm the doctrine; to apply conceptualisa- tion to ineffable nature; to belittle those who have faith; to violate the com- mitments that have been undertaken; and to disparage women, the source of discriminative awareness. The source is Muldpattisan:zgraha, as quoted by Lessing and Wayman, Mkhas Grub RJe's Fundamentals ofthe Buddhist Tantras, (p. 328). 361

FIFTEEN
FIFTEEN ORDINARY SACRAMENTS (OF EMPOWERMENT) sgrub-rdzas thun-mong bco-lnga
The fifteen ordinary sacraments and the THREE PROFOUND EMPOWER- MENTS together form the eighteen empowerments of Mahayoga. Of these the former include ten outer empowerments of beneficence (phyi-phan-pa'i dbang-bcu) and five inner empowerments of ability (nang nus-pa'i dbang-lnga), while the latter includes the THREE PROFOUND EMPOWERMENTS that are secret (gsang-ba zab-mo'i dbang-gsum). The ten empowerments of beneficence are those of crown ornament, diadem, rosary, armour, victory-banner, seals, parasol, vase, food and drink, and the five essences. For their significance, see Longcenpa, Dispelling Darkness in the Ten Directions, pp. 376-9 (GGFTC, pp. 878-9). The five empowerments of ability are listed under the FIVE EMPOWERMENTS OF THE SECRET NUCLEUS. 701

(7) In the manner of a bear who terrifies and crushes whatever it focuses upon without hesitation, one who has plumbed the depths of the view and conduct of yoga is disciplined in the rites of sorcery and sexual union without hesitation (dom). (8) In the manner of an ocean whose golden depths are unmoved is the discipline of firm unchanging mind which is able (to understand) the profound secret meaning and experiential cultiva- tion (rgya-mtsho). (9) In the manner of a dumb mute who neither accepts nor rejects is the discipline which reaches the limit of discriminative aware- ness, realising selflessness by impartial meditative absorption (lkug-pa gti- mug-can). (10) In the manner of unmoving Mount Sumeru is the discipline of skilful means which depends on the unwavering antidote of unchanging loyalty to teacher and friends, and on the sinking into and grasping of contemplation (ri-rab mi-gYo-ba). (11) In the manner of the vast and extensive sky which accomodates everything without acceptance and rejection is the discipline which is warm and hospitable to fraternal yogins and the conduct which does not lapse from the vehicle of saq1sara and nirval). a but remains within this view and conduct of supreme identity (nam-mkha'). (12) In the manner of a thunderbolt which falls and destroys is the discipline which unimpededly destroys all enemies and obstacles by forceful contemplation (thog). (13) In the manner ofYajrapal). i who destroys all who hold erroneous views, the yogin performs the discipline through which, having meditated on the wrathful deity, one cuts through and destroys these views without hesitation (lag-na-rdo-rje). (14) In the manner of a crow who looks out for both enemies and plunder at the same time, is the discipline of skilful means which perseveres simultaneously in constant renunciation and enterprise (bya-rog). (15) In the manner of an elephant who plunges into water without regard for being soaked or unsoaked, one who has plumbed the depths of the view and conduct of supreme identity practises without the duality of renunci- ation and acceptance, and practises the discipline of the four rites of enlightened activity without discriminating among those who require training (glang-chen). (16) In the manner of a friendless lion who sits alone is the discipline which
sustains the view and meditation by abiding in solitude after renouncing those disharmonious associations of view and conduct (seng-ge). (17) In the manner of a duck who easily associates without marriage, so is the discipline which associates without ties and the skilful means which cause sentient beings to reach the happiness of liberation through compassion and loving kindness (ngang-pa). (18) In the manner of a magician who constructs illu- sions, one who meditates and teaches having understood components and activity fields to be the apparitional maf. l4ala of the conquerors enacts discip- line through skilful means (sgyu-ma-mkhan).

thoughts through compassion experienced in view and conduct, arrays such consciousness in an uncorrupted (realm), and thus perfects the provisions (ce-spyang). (21) In the manner of lightning which illuminates everything
swiftly and simultaneously is the discipline which perseveres so that one's own benefit be attained and others' benefit be swiftly attained through ex- periential cultivation of the path (glog). (22) In the manner of a vulture who
avoids the taking of life as a moral discipline is the discipline which delights in and sustains commitments associated with supreme identity but appears not to indulge in other vehicles connected with disciplinary conduct (bya-
rgod). (23) In the manner of a modest king who rules the kingdom and dearly protects his retinue rather than himself, the yogin performs acts of pure delightful discipline, protects living beings by realising all things not on behalf of himself but for others, and overpowers the kingdom by the discipline
which strives through skilful means to experience and realise the indivisibility ofthe expanse and pristine cognition as supreme bliss (rgyal-po bag-ldan). 367
