六类空行母赞
陈健民
敬礼 六类空行母前
胜义光明母， 无间靡遗现，
须臾不离， 任谁具本面。中央者
智慧金刚母， 离断自澄清，
意态娴雅， 生法本现成。东方者
解脱事业母， 无畏若火焰，
袭掠魔心， 尽性无拘检。北方者
大乐莲花母， 空房显智喜，
色舞眉飞， 春风育桃李。西方者
庄严宝生母， 富丽孰比肩！
光彩夺魄， 摩尼在心田。南方者
世间空行母， 不动法本位，
莲出污泥， 随欲现妩媚。世间者
秋高无云空， 孰能体此意？
才得偎亲， 便登普贤位。中
平淡嫌粉饰， 裸体绝绮练，
视线甫交， 镜影如相恋。东
当体无情面， 直下斩其全，
杀活同时， 无所逃于天。北
何分古与今？ 何分昏与明？
迷人醒人， 终古长依卿。西
风月无尽藏， 贵贱咸瞻仰，
袖里乾坤， 心花长自赏。南
玉骨而冰肌， 月貌衬云裳，
空乐不迁， 长为大事忙。世
怀宝行乞孩， 狐掘而狐埋，
何日云已， 誓语其忆起。中
日用不能知， 归而有余师，
坦道莫履， 誓语其忆起。东
如扶醉人然， 东西各自偏，
失之当体， 誓语其忆起。北
狗骨味自血， 空乐不相契，
堕入雾里， 誓语其忆起。西
买椟而还珣， 反裘而负薪，
昧平等理， 誓语其忆起。南
开发莲花藏， 身供殊大方，
宏愿贯耳， 誓语其忆起。世
本觉自明境， 处囊如脱颖，
鞭辟入里， 誓语其忆起。中
无修离冀疑， 平常不希奇，
就在者里， 誓语其忆起。东
贪瞋痴慢疑， 体用不分歧，
活脱在理， 誓语其忆起。北
色声香味触， 一体五妙欲，
心空及矣， 誓语其忆起。西
宝光如虹霞， 平等性为家，
充满法喜， 誓语其忆起。南
今之勒古妈， 与移喜磋嘉，
莅此莅此， 誓语其忆起。世
今之长寿女， 如作密勒侣，
有以有以， 誓语其忆起。世
辛巳五月廿五造于西康鑪霍关房中，梦阿松妈表示护持，并谓最喜“春风育桃李”一句。右颂每句各十九字，乃仿龙树菩萨赞四臂大黑天格式。
Praise to Six Classes of Dakinis
Written in Chinese by Guru C. M. Chen
Translated by His Disciple Yutang Lin
Veneration in the presence of Six Classes of Dakinis!
Supreme Significance Brightness Dakinis,
Incessantly without disappearance,
Inseparable for even a blink
From anyone who attained the original face. (Central Class)
Wisdom Vajra Dakinis,
Without interruption, naturally and thoroughly clear,
Attitude and postures graceful and sublime,
Creating things that are originally ready-made. (Eastern Class)
Liberation Karma Dakinis,
Fearless as burning flames,
Attack by surprise to strip devil's mind,
Act freely at will without bondage or care. (Northern Class)
Supreme Pleasure Lotus Dakinis,
In Sunyata room reveals Wisdom bliss,
Dancing countenance with flying brows,
Spring wind cultivates peaches and plums (in Chinese a way to refer to disciples). (Western Class)
Grandeur Jewel Dakinis,
Rich and splendor without peers,
Radiance bewildering,
Wish-fulfilling Gem in the Mind. (Southern Class)
Amid-worldlings Dakinis,
Without leaving the original station of things,
Lotus emerged from mire,
Revealing grace as desires flow. (Worldly Class)
High and cloudless autumn sky,
Who could realize its significance?
As soon as intimacy allowed,
One attains Adi Buddha realm. (Central Class)
Plain and light, avoiding cosmetics,
Naked without any ornaments,
As eyes just contacted,
Mutual affection arose as seeing mirror images. (Eastern Class)
As it is, without superficial considerations,
Directly cut it off in its entirety,
Killing and resurrecting simultaneously,
There is no escape from the Heaven. (Northern Class)
Why distinguish between ancient and present?
Why distinguish between confused and clear?
Deluded ones as well as awakened ones,
From ancient time always relied on your companionship. (Western Class)
Boundless storage of wind and moon (romantic affairs),
Nobility as well as lowborn, all look up to,
The affairs within one's sleeves (domain of privacy),
Blossom of Mind is always adored by one. (Southern Class)
Jade bone and icy flesh (shiny and smooth skin),
Moon-like countenance accompanied by colorful-cloud garment,
Sunyata Bliss without recess,
Constantly busy for the great activities. (Worldly Class)
A child carrying a gem to go begging,
What dug up by a fox again buried by the fox,
When will one say, "that is enough"?
You should remember your vows! (Central Class)
Used daily without comprehending it,
Returned and then found something to learn from,
Do not walk on the even path,
You should remember your vows! (Eastern Class)
Just as supporting a drunken person,
East or west is leaning sidewise in each case,
Fail to be right at the spot,
You should remember your vows! (Northern Class)
As a dog biting a bone to taste only its own blood,
Sunyata and pleasures do not match,
Fallen amid fogs,
You should remember your vows! (Western Class)
Bought a wooden box and yet returned the jade inside,
Turn a leather-coat inside out to carry firewood,
Being ignorant of equality of all matters,
You should remember your vows! (Southern Class)
Developing the Lotus Treasure,
Extraordinarily generous to make the body-offering,
Grand vows like thunders to ears,
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
Innate awareness, state of self-illumination,
Even inside a bag it reveals itself like the tip of a knife,
Striving to reach the most profound,
You should remember your vows! (Central Class)
Without practice, free from expectation and suspicion,
Ordinary, without any peculiarity,
It is right here,
You should remember your vows! (Eastern Class)
Greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and suspicion,
Entity and uses are not in disarray,
Lively escape according to original nature,
You should remember your vows! (Northern Class)
Shape, sound, smell, taste and touch,
Five wondrous desires of one entity,
Mind in Sunyata had attained it,
You should remember your vows! (Western Class)
Gem lights like rainbows and sun-lit clouds,
Equanimity as home,
Fulfilled with Dharma joy,
You should remember your vows! (Southern Class)
The Niguma of nowadays
And the Yeshe Tsogyal of late,
Arrive here, arrive here!
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
The Longevity Dakinis of modern time,
Just as you attended Milarepa as his consorts,
Come into being, come into being!
You should remember your vows! (Worldly Class)
Composed in the retreat hut at Lu Huo, Xi Kang on lunar 25 th of May in the year Xin Si (1941). In a dream the protectress A Song Ma expressed her support for this work, and said that she liked the sentence, "spring wind cultivates peaches and plums," the best. In this praise each sentence consisted of nineteen characters, following the style of the praise in honor of the Four-arm Mahakala as composed by Nagarjuna.
