6.43

Nor is there becoming and destruction, its number of eons cannot

be apprehended,

It does not lead to birth in the pure or the defiled, nor do results arise. Given that various mundane distinctions such as these do not exist, One should always cultivate it diligently and seek the state

of an omniscient one.

Chapter XXV

The Three Samayas

Thereupon the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries said to the Buddha, “As for the three samayas mentioned [earlier] by the World-honored One, why are they described as the three samayas?”

When the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries had finished speaking thus, the World-honored One addressed him, saying, “It is excellent, excellent, Lord of Mysteries, that you have asked me about this matter. Lord of Mysteries, you should listen attentively and consider it carefully as I now explain.”

Vajrapāṇi said, “So be it, World-honored One. I am eager to listen.”

The Buddha said, “There are three kinds of dharmas that, arising as a continuum and in conjunction with the removal of obstacles, are called the three samayas. How do these dharmas arise as a continuum? Namely, [at the time of] the initial aspiration one does not see one’s own nature. From this, wisdom is generated and knowledge concordant with reality arises, free from the web of inexhaustible differentiation. This is called the second mind, with the characteristic of bodhi, without differentiation, and representing the state of perfect and full awakening. Lord of Mysteries, having seen things as they really are, one surveys the inexhaustible realms of beings, compassion operates freely, and as one views them without objectification there arises the bodhi-mind [with the thought], ‘I will establish beings so that they are free from all frivolous arguments and will cause them all to dwell in characteristicless bodhi.’ These are called the states of the three samayas.

Next, Lord of Mysteries, there are [another] three samayas:

The first is the mind of the Perfectly Awakened One (Buddha),

the second is called the Dharma,

And the arising of that mind as a continuum is called the harmonious

Sangha.

These three samayas have been taught by the buddhas and

Guiding Teachers.

If one dwells in these three equalities and cultivates practices

for bodhi,

Then, starting with the gateways of guidance, and in order to

benefit beings,

One will achieve bodhi, and the three bodies will operate freely.

“Lord of Mysteries, the samyaksaṃbuddha, in order to establish the

teachings, empowers himself as a single body, namely, the first transforma-

tion body. Next, Lord of Mysteries, in [this] single body he displays three

kinds [of aspects], namely, the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. Next,

Lord of Mysteries, on the basis of this he establishes and expounds three

kinds of vehicles, widely performs buddha deeds, manifests parinirvāṇa,

and maturates beings.

“Lord of Mysteries, see how those bodhisattvas cultivating practices for

bodhi via the gateway of mantras, if they comprehend the three equalities
