金刚瑜伽母咒

First thing in the morning on the day we were to celebrate Buddha’s descent from Tushita heaven where he had been teaching his mother – Lha bab duchen in the Tibetan tradition – Rinpoche decided it was time he played his part in promoting women’s rights. The fact that it was election day in the US might also have had something to do with it. The sadhana called the Three Roots needs to be practised every day in this drupchen, because Padma Khandro from the Seven Cycles is only a branch practice of this sadhana, in other words Padma Khandro is only one deity of this Three Root mandala, and this mantra is part of the Three Root sadhana. So, for whatever reason, during the 6am session of the Seven Profound Cycles of Padma Khandro, Rinpoche offered this very short teaching about the Vajrayogini mantra.

这一天，我们要庆祝佛陀为母说法后从兜率天下降人间——藏传传统称为天降节。清晨一开始，仁波切便决定，是时候为促进女性权利尽一份力了。这一天正好也是美国选举日，也许与此有些关系。在这次大修中，名为《三根本》的成就法需要每天修持，因为七法系中的莲花空行母法只是这一成就法的支分修法；换言之，莲花空行母只是这个三根本坛城中的一尊，而这个咒语也是三根本成就法的一部分。因此，无论出于什么原因，在早晨六点的《莲花空行母七甚深法系》座次中，仁波切对金刚瑜伽母咒作了这篇非常简短的开示。

There are many women here today. Actually, I’m told that in the world today there are more women than men and that women have more power than men. Even His Holiness the Dalai Lama goes beyond promoting mere equality between men and women by saying that women are more important. So I too will give more importance to women.

今天这里有很多女性。事实上，有人告诉我，如今世界上女性比男性多，而且女性比男性更有力量。就连达赖喇嘛尊者，也不仅仅倡导男女平等，而是说女性更重要。因此，我也要更加重视女性。

Vajravarahi is the most important of all female deities. There are three planes of dakinis that fill the ‘space above’, ‘the ground in the middle’, and ‘below ground’. This world has sixty-four places of power: the twenty-four sacred places, the thirty-two sacred lands and the eight charnel grounds. Each one of these sixty-four places is presided over by a principal dakini, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of dakas and dakinis. The most important, or chief, or principal of all these dakinis is Vajravarahi.

金刚亥母是一切女尊中最重要的一位。空行母有三层，遍满“上方虚空”“中间地面”与“下方地下”。这个世界有六十四处殊胜圣地：二十四圣地、三十二圣境与八大尸陀林。六十四处中的每一处，都由一位主要空行母住持，周围环绕数十万勇父与空行母。在所有这些空行母中，最重要的、为首的、最主要的，就是金刚亥母。

On the absolute level, skilful means manifest in the form of male deities, such as Hayagriva, and wisdom manifests in female forms such as Vajravarahi.

在胜义层面，方便显现为马头明王等男尊，智慧则显现为金刚亥母等女尊。

The Sadhana of the Three Roots involves three mandalas – the mandala of the body, the mandala of the speech and the mandala of the mind. These three mandalas need explaining, but any yogis or yoginis among us today who practice Vajravarahi will know about them. When a number of different mandalas must be accomplished individually within a sadhana, there is a specific mantra for each of them. In this sadhana^[1] , the syllable om is repeated three times at the beginning of the mantra, and the syllables hung and phat are recited three times at the end. So, when you practise each mandala separately, you should recite each part of the mantra independently.

《三根本成就法》包含三个坛城——身坛城、语坛城与意坛城。这三个坛城本来需要解释，不过，今天在座修金刚亥母的瑜伽士或瑜伽女，应当都知道。当一个成就法中有多个不同坛城，必须分别修成时，每一个坛城都会有其特定咒语。在这个成就法中^[1]，咒语开头的om字重复三次，末尾的hung字与phat字也各念三次。因此，分别修持各坛城时，应当独立念诵咒语的相应部分。

How do we do this?

具体怎样做呢？

• The first mantra is the mantra of the enlightened body of Vajravarahi, which is om sarva buddha dakini hung phat.
• It is followed by the mantra of her enlightened speech, om benza warnaniye hung phat, at the end of which soha is added.
• And finally, the mantra of her enlightened mind, which is om benza bairotsaniyé hung phat.

• 第一个咒语，是金刚亥母觉悟之身的咒语，即om sarva buddha dakini hung phat。
• 接下来，是她觉悟之语的咒语，om benza warnaniye hung phat，末尾加上soha。
• 最后，是她觉悟之意的咒语，即om benza bairotsaniyé hung phat.

When they are all practised together, we recite the mantra as it appears in this practice:

合在一起修持时，我们按照这个修法中的形式念诵：

om om om sarva buddha dakiniyé benza warnaniye benza bairotsaniyé hung hung hung phat phat phat soha

om om om sarva buddha dakiniyé benza warnaniye benza bairotsaniyé hung hung hung phat phat phat soha

This mantra is the heart essence of all the dakinis residing within the mandalas of body, speech and mind. According to the Vajrayarahi Tantra, once you understand this, if you recite this mantra thirty-six times every day, as soon as you die you will be taken to Khechari’s heaven. This is why it would be good for all women – as women tend to like the female deities – to recite this mantra.

这个咒语是身、语、意坛城中一切空行母的心髓。根据《金刚亥母续》，理解这一点后，如果每天念诵这个咒语三十六遍，一旦去世，就会被接引到空行净土。因此，所有女性都念诵这个咒语会很好——因为女性往往喜欢女尊。
