In the three forms of discipline, their respect Therefore make repeated effort
For these three forms of discipline grows, To accomplish calm abiding.
Which causes purity of body, speech and mind.
39. While the conditions for calm abiding
33. Therefore, through effort in the vow made by Are incomplete, meditative stabilization
Bodhisattvas for pure, full enlightenment, Will not be accomplished, even if one meditates
The collections for complete enlightenment Strenuously for thousands of years.
Will be thoroughly accomplished.
174 ILLUMINATING THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT APPENDIX 1 175
40. Thus maintaining well the conditions mentioned Will quickly attain enlightenment
In the Collection for Meditative Stabilization Chapter, Not just by meditating on selflessness.
Place the mind on any one
Virtuous focal object. 47. Understanding emptiness of inherent existence
Through realizing that the aggregates, constituents
41. When the practitioner has gained calm abiding, And sources are not produced
Higher perception will also be gained, Is described as wisdom.
But without practice of the perfection of wisdom,
The obstructions will not come to an end. 48. Something existent cannot be produced,
Nor something non-existent, like a sky flower.
42. Thus, to eliminate all obstructions These errors are both absurd and thus
To liberation and omniscience, Both of the two will not occur either.
The practitioner should continually cultivate
The perfection of wisdom with skillful means. 49. A thing is not produced from itself,
Nor from another, also not from both,
43. Wisdom without skillful means Nor causelessly either, thus it does not
And skillful means, too, without wisdom Exist inherently by way of its own entity.
Are referred to as bondage.
Therefore do not give up either. 50. Moreover, when all phenomena are examined
As to whether they are one or many,
44. To eliminate doubts concerning They are not seen to exist by way of their own entity,
What is called wisdom and what skillful means, And thus are ascertained as not inherently existent.
I shall make clear the difference
Between skillful means and wisdom. 51. The reasoning of the Seventy Stanzas on Emptiness,
The Treatise on the Middle Way and so forth
45. Apart from the perfection of wisdom, Explain that the nature of all things
All virtuous practices such as Is established as emptiness.
The perfection of giving are described
As skillful means by the Victorious Ones. 52. Since there are a great many passages,
I have not cited them here,
46. Whoever, under the influence of familiarity But have explained just their conclusions
With skillful means, cultivates wisdom For the purpose of meditation.
176 ILLUMINATING THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT APPENDIX 1 177
53. Thus, whatever is meditation The very joyful and the others are attained
On selflessness, in that it does not observe And, before long, the enlightened state of buddhahood.
An inherent nature in phenomena,
Is the cultivation of wisdom. 60. If you wish to create with ease
The collections for enlightenment
54. Just as wisdom does not see Through activities of pacification,
An inherent nature in phenomena, Increase and so forth, gained by the power of mantra,
Having analyzed wisdom itself by reasoning,
Non-conceptually meditate on that. 61. And also through the force of the eight
And other great attainments like the good pot
55. The nature of this worldly existence, If you want to practice secret mantra,
Which has come from conceptualization, As explained in the action and performance tantras,
Is conceptuality. Thus the elimination of
Conceptuality is the highest state of nirvana. 62. Then, to receive the preceptor initiation,
You must please an excellent spiritual teacher
56. The great ignorance of conceptuality Through service, valuable gifts and the like
Makes us fall into the ocean of cyclic existence. As well as through obedience.
Resting in non-conceptual stabilization,
Space-like non-conceptuality manifests clearly. 63. Through the full bestowing of the preceptor initiation,
By a spiritual teacher who is pleased,
57. When bodhisattvas non-conceptually contemplate You are purified of all wrong-doing
This excellent teaching, they will transcend And become fit to gain powerful attainments.
Conceptuality, so hard to overcome,
And eventually reach the non-conceptual state. 64. Because the Great Tantra of the Primordial Buddha
Forbids it emphatically,
58. Having ascertained through scripture Those observing pure conduct should not
And through reasoning that phenomena Take the secret and wisdom initiations.
Are not produced nor inherently existent,
Meditate without conceptuality. 65. If those observing the austere practice of pure conduct
Were to hold these initiations,
59. Having thus meditated on suchness, Their vow of austerity would be impaired
Eventually, after reaching heat and so forth, Through doing that which is proscribed.
178 ILLUMINATING THE PATH TO ENLIGHTENMENT
66. This creates transgressions that are a defeat
For those observing discipline.
Since they are certain to fall to a bad rebirth,
They will never gain accomplishments. APPENDIX 2
67. There is no fault if one who has received LINES OF EXPERIENCE
The preceptor initiation and has knowledge by
49
Of suchness listens to or explains the tantras Lama Je Tsong Khapa (1357 1419)
And performs burnt offering rituals,
Or makes offering of gifts and so forth.
1. I prostrate before you, (Buddha), head of the Shakya clan. Your enlight-

At the request of Jangchub Ö.
2. I prostrate before you Maitreya and Manjushri, supreme spiritual chil-
