THE THREE ANCESTRAL RELIGIOUS KINGS [3.
THE THREE ANCESTRAL RELIGIOUS KINGS [3.
Dudjom Rinpoche - Fundamentals and History of the Nyingmapa
As the above text says:
Through skilful means of esoteric instructions,
Such as concerns the "source of all display" ,
One enters therein.
As for the latter, [the path of liberation]: It comprises both the array of truth and the display of its signs (don bkod-pa-dang rtags-kyi rol-pa). The first refers to the non-conceptualising contemplation that is free
from conceptual elaboration. It is an absorption derived from the dis- position of the nucleus of reality, just as it is, uncontrived by the meditating intellect. In this respect, the General Sutra which Gathers
All Intentions says:
Having established the intellect just as it is
In the corresponding reality,
There is an unwavering recollection Derived from that inexpressible disposition.
The second, [the display of its signs], refers to contemplation of the deity that is endowed with conceptual elaboration. It is the experiential cultivation which, by the mere recitation of mantra, emphasises im-
mediate meditation in which the world and its contents distinctly radiate as the mandala of deities, in the [immediate] manner of a fish leaping from the Such is also said in the Miraculous Key to the Storehouse:
In the vehicle of Anuyoga
There is uncreated meditation in a perfect manner, After merely the nucleus [of the mantra syllables] has been
recited.
And in the All-Gathering Awareness:
Pure apparitional existence is an expanse ofmale and female
deities.
The elements and elemental components
Are spontaneously perfect father and mother consorts.

Fifth, as to conduct: The conduct of Anuyoga is one h' h ' I h ' w IC , m

The Anuyoga of the perfection phase Is the perfect rapture of the expanse And pristine cognition.
If in detail, there are three kinds of conduct n I co_nsecratlOn or blessing, overpowering and skilful means. The Sutra whzch Gathers All Intentions says:
The conduct which consecrates
The conduct which overpowers:
And the conduct of skilful means
Are exemplified respectively by space and by a king And by the water which quenches a fire. '
the result: Within one lifetime the essence is ac-
tua Ised, In which the twenty-five resultant realities are indivisible and
present. This is the body of supreme bliss, which is the
Sem? dl/n;;n,t of t? e four buddha-bodies. The Tantra of the Supreme zna omt (thzg-Ie mchog-gi rgyud) says:
or inner radiance is supreme bliss
WIthout the expanse and pristine in two. Whoever medItates on it will attain
The result of perfect buddhahood in this lifetime.
And in th M' I' . e zracu ous Key to the Storehouse:
The vehicle of Anuyoga

Defimtlvely proceeds to the buddha level.

I 'fi t' As to the first [the essence]: It is the skilful means c aSSI lca lon, , h d' d' tl liberated through which the truth of primordial buddha 0 0 IS ,
and I"t IS endowed WI'th a nature which is free from renunCIatIon, accep-
tance, hope and doubt. , ] A ' , Secondly, [the verbal definition] is that [the Sansknt rendered [in Tibetan] as shin-tu rnal-'byor or highest because It IS
the culmination of the perfection stage both the and perfec- , h s and because it is the summIt of all vehIcles.
tIOnpase, , ,fh'hh Thirdly, Atiyoga is classified according to the SIX tOPICS 0 W IC e
first the entrance, I'S twoJ'old• The former refers to empowerment whI,ch 11
her; is the maturation effected by the empowerment 0fslhe ower of awareness (rig-pa'i rtsal-dbang) and so T atter IS ihe actual entrance which is effected by not entenng anythmg. The
All-Accomplishing King says:
Since with respect to the doctrine There is nothing to be done,
It is entered effortlessly.
Secondly, as to the view, it is held that all things by apparitional existence, sarpsara and nirva1). a, are eff? rtlessly the pnmor- dial buddhahood in the essence of a supreme pOInt, body of reality, which is naturally present, supr,eme, is said in Vajrasattva the Great Space (rdo-rye sems-dpa nam m , NGB Vol. 2):
Having been effortlessly liberated , , Through the naturally present pristine cogmtIon, The path of liberation is indeed revealed.
For those who hold to space
There will be the Spatial Class;
For those who do not strive after stages There will be the Esoteric Instructional Class.
In this way, there is the Mental Class (sems-sde) which pertains to the absorption in awareness and emptiness, the disposition of the buddha-body of reality. There is the Spatial Class (klong-sde) which pertains to the absorption in the disposition of reality without activity
or effort; and there is the Esoteric Instructional Class (man-ngag-gi sde) which pertains to the absorption in the disposition of reality, primor- dially liberated and free from renunciation and acceptance.
In general, the meditation which accords with the tradition of the
Great Perfection is gathered into two categories, namely, Cutting
Through Resistance (khregs-chod) and All-Surpassing Realisation (thod- rgal). It is said in the Pearl Necklace:
Cutting Through Resistance And All-Surpassing Realisation Are experientially cultivated.
According to the former [Cutting Through Resistance]: There is absorp- tion without wavering from the disposition of the primordially pure
view. The Great Garucf,a says:
It is established because it spontaneously abides.
And the master Garap Dorje says:
The nature of mind is primordially buddha. In the mind, as in the sky,
There is no creation or cessation. Having realised the genuine truth Of the sameness of all things,
If it is established without being sought, That is meditation.
By meditating in that way there are four creative stages of the path:
There are the abiding and unwavering states, Sameness and spontaneous presence.
As for the All-Surpassing Realisation (thod-rgal): Through reliance on the six essentials (gnad-drug), the four visionary appearances gradu- aUy arise, and thereby the goal is reached. These [four] are, namely, the visionary appearance of the direct perception of reality (chos-nyid
the visionary appearance of increasing contemplative ex- (nyams-gong-'phel), the visionary appearance of reaching the hllllltS of awareness (rig-pa tshad-phebs) and the visionary appearance of
t e cessation [of 'apparitional] reality (chos-nyid zad-pa).
And in the Great Garucf,a (khyung-chen, NGB Vol. 1): The naturally present pristine ,
. . Universally abides, without conceptIon, Just as It IS.
Thirdly, on the subject of moral dlSCIP me, t e co include nothingness and plainness are not to be transce Miraculous Key of Further Discernment says:
nded. The
The commitments of Atiyoga
' 356
Are nothingness and pIamness, Uniqueness and spontaneous presence. Their meaning should not be transcended.
Fourth, as to meditation, the Great Array of the Highest says:
For those who hold to the mind There will be the Mental Class;
, 'r h mmitments which

372 Fundamentals: Vehicles ofSecret Mantra
Fifth, in conduct: There is conduct without acceptance and rejection because all that appears arises as the display of reality. It is said in Vajrasattva the Great Space:
Since there is nothing to be done, actions are terminated. And in the Miraculous Key to the Storehouse:
Concerning the conduct of Atiyoga:
The forceful conduct practised
By one endowed with the vital force of view and
meditation
Resembles the conduct of a madman.
Anything whatsoever is practised without impediment.
Sixth, as to the result: The goal is reached, abiding from the present moment on the level of the spontaneously perfect Samantabhadra. By reaching the limit of the four assurances (gding-bzhi) , sarpsara is liberated in nirva1). a. This is also said in the Miraculous Key ofFurther Discernment:
Concerning the result of Atiyoga, the Great Perfection:
In the primordial nucleus which is enlightenment, The unattained result is mature in itself.
This completes the anthology which explains the definitive order of the resultant secret mantra, the vehicle of indestructible reality, the fourth and, for the while, the last exegetical part of this book, the Feast in which Eloquence Appears, a definitive ordering of the precious teaching of the vehicle of indestructible reality according to the Ancient Trans- lation School.
Conclusion
1 Concluding Remarks
[229b. 6-232aA] With the hope of somewhat benefitting those persons who pursue the subject-matter of this book with fresh intellects, I have condensed and succinctly emphasised the words of the great, all-know- ing doctrinal master Longcenpa, and those of Locen [DharmasrI] Chopel Gyamtso of Mindroling, the pal)<;iita Gyurme Tsewang Chok- drup ofKatok, Jamgon [Kongtrtil] Lodro Thaye, Dodrup Jikme Tenpei Nyima and Zecen Gyeltsap Gyurme Perna Namgyel. 357
Although the definitive order of the sutras and the mantras may appear repetitive because it has been divided into two parts, one accord- ing to the overall meaning and the other according to the meaning subsumed in their particular sections, it is with a view to easy com- prehension that the opportune recapitulations have been added in a way which will facilitate understanding.
As for those whose intellects are still unsatisfied by this mere [abridge- ment], who wish to thoroughly investigate the limits of study and reflection, the thousand petals of their intellects should be impartially liberated by relying on the extensive eloquent compositions of the prior learned and accomplished masters such as the following: the scriptures of the all-knowing Trime Ozer [Longcenpa] which, in the manner of a. treasury of precious gems containing. the numerous extraordinary fIches of a kingdom, excellently comment on all the definitive, profound essentials of tantra, transmission and esoteric instruction endowed with the six superiorities of the ancient translations, with an insight which Perceives reality independently, just as it is/58 his Mother and Son CYcles ofInnermost Spirituality (snying-thig ma-bu'i skor);359 the writings the Sutra which Gathers All Intentions and the Cycle of the Tantra of t e Magical Net (,dus-pa mdo-dang sgyu-'phrul skor-gyi yig-cha) which \\Tere composed by [Locen DharmasrI], the brother of the great aware- Terdak Lingpa; and the scriptures of Jamgon Mipham
aWel Senge [Mipham Rinpoche].
2 Dedicatory Verses
Dedicatory Verses 377
May the merit obtained herein by my labour
Be to the expansion of the teaching.
long in the world, may the nucleus of the teachmg
Adorn the lands with oceans of enlightened attributes.
May I, too, in all my lives,
In the manner of the spiritual warrior, Lord of Secrets,
Hold the secret repository of the Conqueror's teaching,
And, roaring the lion's roar of the profound truth,
May I the depths of existence by moving therem.
May fundamental reality in its natural state,
Free Jro. m the Fears (Jikdrel) of change,
the nucleus of Pristine Cognition (Yeshe)
W? lch encompasses all worlds, animate and manimate,
Secure all things in supreme bliss
By the seal of imperishable mind's Indestructible Reality (Dorje). 361
Again it might be said:
From the taintless ocean, profound and wide, of the tradition Ofthe ancient translations which are the ultimate perfection
of the Conqueror's teaching,
I have extracted the essence, an excellent vase of exegesis, A nectar stream satisfying the lot of those new students
who wish to know it.
The Feast in which the teaching's definitive order is narrated
By relying on the sacred Eloquence of the past, Approaching with smiles of superior aspiration, which
Appears,
Brings forth a springtime of supreme delight to a host of fortunate beings.
If there are mistaken points herein, the fault is mine. May those who are learned and honest be kind to
show restraint.
All that is eloquent, through the grace of the guru, Is but my respect and service for the teaching.
May the grievous clouds which thunder with the verses of indestructible reality,360
Profound essentials of the highest unsurpassed vehicle,
And nakedly expose their mysteries and so forth, Be dispelled by the whirlwind of t,he three roots'
blessing
In the inexpressible space of reality's expanse.
3 Colophon
This book, the abridged definitive ordering of the teaching of the Nying- mapa, or Ancient Translation School of the secret mantra, entitled Feast in which Eloquence Appears, begun by the vagabond Jikdrel Yeshe Dorje in his sixty-third year on Friday 3 June 1966 (fifteenth day of the fourth month (sa-ga) of the Fire Horse Year or zil-gnon), was com- posed with effort at all times; and it was brought to completion on Thursday 29 September (fifteenth day of the auspicious eighth month or khrum-stod) in the Citadel of Lotus Light (padma 'od-kyi grong-khyer) on the summit of Mount Rincen Pung, known as the supreme pilgrim- age place of Kalimpong, which is an extension of the secret land of Sikkim. The first draft was prepared by the scribe Rikdzin Dorje, a venerable mantrin from Kurelung in Bhutan. May the nucleus of the teaching thereby secure the destiny of abiding long without decline. Sarvada mangala-sri jayantu! ["May glorious good auspices ever be victorious. "]
01? 1 Svasti:
This definitive order of the ocean-like teaching
Of the Ancient Translation School,
Which reveals the extensive meaning with few words, Was prepared in its final xylographic edition Through the unending generosity to the doctrine
362
Of the faithful Pelhun Ytilgyel
By virtue of this merit may the precious teaching Multiply and increase until the end of time, without
decline.
May the great drumbeat of the doctrine
Of definitively secret exegesis and attainment Resound throughout the whole world.
Above all, may the father and mother
Who gave birth to this benefactor,
Along with his relations and all living beings,
of Tingri.
Become naturally liberated of the two obscurations And then swiftly complete the two provisions
And actualise the two buddha-bodies.
May the two benefits resplendently blaze
With spontaneously present good auspices.

The Anuyoga of the perfection phase Is the perfect rapture of the expanse And pristine cognition.
If in detail, there are three kinds of conduct n I co_nsecratlOn or blessing, overpowering and skilful means. The Sutra whzch Gathers All Intentions says:
The conduct which consecrates
The conduct which overpowers:
And the conduct of skilful means
Are exemplified respectively by space and by a king And by the water which quenches a fire. '
the result: Within one lifetime the essence is ac-
tua Ised, In which the twenty-five resultant realities are indivisible and
present. This is the body of supreme bliss, which is the
Sem? dl/n;;n,t of t? e four buddha-bodies. The Tantra of the Supreme zna omt (thzg-Ie mchog-gi rgyud) says:
or inner radiance is supreme bliss
WIthout the expanse and pristine in two. Whoever medItates on it will attain
The result of perfect buddhahood in this lifetime.

I 'fi t' As to the first [the essence]: It is the skilful means c aSSI lca lon, , h d' d' tl liberated through which the truth of primordial buddha 0 0 IS ,
and I"t IS endowed WI'th a nature which is free from renunCIatIon, accep-
tance, hope and doubt. , ] A ' , Secondly, [the verbal definition] is that [the Sansknt rendered [in Tibetan] as shin-tu rnal-'byor or highest because It IS
the culmination of the perfection stage both the and perfec- , h s and because it is the summIt of all vehIcles.
tIOnpase, , ,fh'hh Thirdly, Atiyoga is classified according to the SIX tOPICS 0 W IC e
first the entrance, I'S twoJ'old• The former refers to empowerment whI,ch 11
her; is the maturation effected by the empowerment 0fslhe ower of awareness (rig-pa'i rtsal-dbang) and so T atter IS ihe actual entrance which is effected by not entenng anythmg. The
All-Accomplishing King says:
Since with respect to the doctrine There is nothing to be done,
It is entered effortlessly.
Secondly, as to the view, it is held that all things by apparitional existence, sarpsara and nirva1). a, are eff? rtlessly the pnmor- dial buddhahood in the essence of a supreme pOInt, body of reality, which is naturally present, supr,eme, is said in Vajrasattva the Great Space (rdo-rye sems-dpa nam m , NGB Vol. 2):
Having been effortlessly liberated , , Through the naturally present pristine cogmtIon, The path of liberation is indeed revealed.
For those who hold to space
There will be the Spatial Class;
For those who do not strive after stages There will be the Esoteric Instructional Class.
In this way, there is the Mental Class (sems-sde) which pertains to the absorption in awareness and emptiness, the disposition of the buddha-body of reality. There is the Spatial Class (klong-sde) which pertains to the absorption in the disposition of reality without activity
or effort; and there is the Esoteric Instructional Class (man-ngag-gi sde) which pertains to the absorption in the disposition of reality, primor- dially liberated and free from renunciation and acceptance.
In general, the meditation which accords with the tradition of the
Great Perfection is gathered into two categories, namely, Cutting
Through Resistance (khregs-chod) and All-Surpassing Realisation (thod- rgal). It is said in the Pearl Necklace:
Cutting Through Resistance And All-Surpassing Realisation Are experientially cultivated.
According to the former [Cutting Through Resistance]: There is absorp- tion without wavering from the disposition of the primordially pure
view. The Great Garucf,a says:
It is established because it spontaneously abides.
And the master Garap Dorje says:
The nature of mind is primordially buddha. In the mind, as in the sky,
There is no creation or cessation. Having realised the genuine truth Of the sameness of all things,
If it is established without being sought, That is meditation.
By meditating in that way there are four creative stages of the path:
There are the abiding and unwavering states, Sameness and spontaneous presence.
As for the All-Surpassing Realisation (thod-rgal): Through reliance on the six essentials (gnad-drug), the four visionary appearances gradu- aUy arise, and thereby the goal is reached. These [four] are, namely, the visionary appearance of the direct perception of reality (chos-nyid
the visionary appearance of increasing contemplative ex- (nyams-gong-'phel), the visionary appearance of reaching the hllllltS of awareness (rig-pa tshad-phebs) and the visionary appearance of
t e cessation [of 'apparitional] reality (chos-nyid zad-pa).
And in the Great Garucf,a (khyung-chen, NGB Vol. 1): The naturally present pristine ,
. . Universally abides, without conceptIon, Just as It IS.
Thirdly, on the subject of moral dlSCIP me, t e co include nothingness and plainness are not to be transce Miraculous Key of Further Discernment says:
nded. The
The commitments of Atiyoga
' 356
Are nothingness and pIamness, Uniqueness and spontaneous presence. Their meaning should not be transcended.
Fourth, as to meditation, the Great Array of the Highest says:
For those who hold to the mind There will be the Mental Class;
, 'r h mmitments which
Recapitulation ofResultant Vehicles 371
372 Fundamentals: Vehicles ofSecret Mantra
Fifth, in conduct: There is conduct without acceptance and rejection because all that appears arises as the display of reality. It is said in Vajrasattva the Great Space:
Since there is nothing to be done, actions are terminated. And in the Miraculous Key to the Storehouse:
Concerning the conduct of Atiyoga:
The forceful conduct practised
By one endowed with the vital force of view and
meditation
Resembles the conduct of a madman.
Anything whatsoever is practised without impediment.
Sixth, as to the result: The goal is reached, abiding from the present moment on the level of the spontaneously perfect Samantabhadra. By reaching the limit of the four assurances (gding-bzhi) , sarpsara is liberated in nirva1). a. This is also said in the Miraculous Key ofFurther Discernment:
Concerning the result of Atiyoga, the Great Perfection:
In the primordial nucleus which is enlightenment, The unattained result is mature in itself.
This completes the anthology which explains the definitive order of the resultant secret mantra, the vehicle of indestructible reality, the fourth and, for the while, the last exegetical part of this book, the Feast in which Eloquence Appears, a definitive ordering of the precious teaching of the vehicle of indestructible reality according to the Ancient Trans- lation School.
Conclusion
1 Concluding Remarks
[229b. 6-232aA] With the hope of somewhat benefitting those persons who pursue the subject-matter of this book with fresh intellects, I have condensed and succinctly emphasised the words of the great, all-know- ing doctrinal master Longcenpa, and those of Locen [DharmasrI] Chopel Gyamtso of Mindroling, the pal)<;iita Gyurme Tsewang Chok- drup ofKatok, Jamgon [Kongtrtil] Lodro Thaye, Dodrup Jikme Tenpei Nyima and Zecen Gyeltsap Gyurme Perna Namgyel. 357
Although the definitive order of the sutras and the mantras may appear repetitive because it has been divided into two parts, one accord- ing to the overall meaning and the other according to the meaning subsumed in their particular sections, it is with a view to easy com- prehension that the opportune recapitulations have been added in a way which will facilitate understanding.
As for those whose intellects are still unsatisfied by this mere [abridge- ment], who wish to thoroughly investigate the limits of study and reflection, the thousand petals of their intellects should be impartially liberated by relying on the extensive eloquent compositions of the prior learned and accomplished masters such as the following: the scriptures of the all-knowing Trime Ozer [Longcenpa] which, in the manner of a. treasury of precious gems containing. the numerous extraordinary fIches of a kingdom, excellently comment on all the definitive, profound essentials of tantra, transmission and esoteric instruction endowed with the six superiorities of the ancient translations, with an insight which Perceives reality independently, just as it is/58 his Mother and Son CYcles ofInnermost Spirituality (snying-thig ma-bu'i skor);359 the writings the Sutra which Gathers All Intentions and the Cycle of the Tantra of t e Magical Net (,dus-pa mdo-dang sgyu-'phrul skor-gyi yig-cha) which \\Tere composed by [Locen DharmasrI], the brother of the great aware- Terdak Lingpa; and the scriptures of Jamgon Mipham
aWel Senge [Mipham Rinpoche].

Dedicatory Verses 377
May the merit obtained herein by my labour
Be to the expansion of the teaching.
long in the world, may the nucleus of the teachmg
Adorn the lands with oceans of enlightened attributes.
May I, too, in all my lives,
In the manner of the spiritual warrior, Lord of Secrets,
Hold the secret repository of the Conqueror's teaching,
And, roaring the lion's roar of the profound truth,
May I the depths of existence by moving therem.
May fundamental reality in its natural state,
Free Jro. m the Fears (Jikdrel) of change,
the nucleus of Pristine Cognition (Yeshe)
W? lch encompasses all worlds, animate and manimate,
Secure all things in supreme bliss
By the seal of imperishable mind's Indestructible Reality (Dorje). 361
Again it might be said:
From the taintless ocean, profound and wide, of the tradition Ofthe ancient translations which are the ultimate perfection
of the Conqueror's teaching,
I have extracted the essence, an excellent vase of exegesis, A nectar stream satisfying the lot of those new students
who wish to know it.
The Feast in which the teaching's definitive order is narrated
By relying on the sacred Eloquence of the past, Approaching with smiles of superior aspiration, which
Appears,
Brings forth a springtime of supreme delight to a host of fortunate beings.
If there are mistaken points herein, the fault is mine. May those who are learned and honest be kind to
show restraint.
All that is eloquent, through the grace of the guru, Is but my respect and service for the teaching.
May the grievous clouds which thunder with the verses of indestructible reality,360
Profound essentials of the highest unsurpassed vehicle,
And nakedly expose their mysteries and so forth, Be dispelled by the whirlwind of t,he three roots'
blessing
In the inexpressible space of reality's expanse.

This book, the abridged definitive ordering of the teaching of the Nying- mapa, or Ancient Translation School of the secret mantra, entitled Feast in which Eloquence Appears, begun by the vagabond Jikdrel Yeshe Dorje in his sixty-third year on Friday 3 June 1966 (fifteenth day of the fourth month (sa-ga) of the Fire Horse Year or zil-gnon), was com- posed with effort at all times; and it was brought to completion on Thursday 29 September (fifteenth day of the auspicious eighth month or khrum-stod) in the Citadel of Lotus Light (padma 'od-kyi grong-khyer) on the summit of Mount Rincen Pung, known as the supreme pilgrim- age place of Kalimpong, which is an extension of the secret land of Sikkim. The first draft was prepared by the scribe Rikdzin Dorje, a venerable mantrin from Kurelung in Bhutan. May the nucleus of the teaching thereby secure the destiny of abiding long without decline. Sarvada mangala-sri jayantu! ["May glorious good auspices ever be victorious. "]

This definitive order of the ocean-like teaching
Of the Ancient Translation School,
Which reveals the extensive meaning with few words, Was prepared in its final xylographic edition Through the unending generosity to the doctrine
362
Of the faithful Pelhun Ytilgyel
By virtue of this merit may the precious teaching Multiply and increase until the end of time, without
decline.
May the great drumbeat of the doctrine
Of definitively secret exegesis and attainment Resound throughout the whole world.
Above all, may the father and mother
Who gave birth to this benefactor,
Along with his relations and all living beings,
of Tingri.
Become naturally liberated of the two obscurations And then swiftly complete the two provisions
And actualise the two buddha-bodies.
May the two benefits resplendently blaze
With spontaneously present good auspices.
