Oral instructions on Chakrasamvara's suchness

     I prostrate before the glorious Chakrasamvara!
     You arise from the compound of e-vaṁ, the symbol of the essence of purity! I prostrate before the doctrine of inseparability that casts off impurities, being like space!
     The mystery that is comprehended in all tantras! Having emerged from the successive line of transmission of guru teachers, has been comprehended by me accordingly. This is where it will be clarified.
     Since everything is categorized due to Chakrasamvara, lotus garden, practice, mistakes, and the sunbeams of utterances, this is how the good, supreme heart is attained. All this forms satisfaction for beings.
     Even if one is diligent for an incalculable age, one will not attain the desired essence. But so here and in this life, now and so forth, one will attain the unsurpassed level of siddhi. Discard aspects such as ascesis, etc. in forming the vibrations of the remains of body and mind. Through the path of complete steadiness in desires, one will attain the fruit of bliss. Through steadiness in all things, one forms hollow satisfaction with the bliss of all objects. Thus is given the fruit of practice and liberation. You will possess the perfection of characteristics. By analytical comprehension of the universe, all attachments of the family are discarded. By discarding, one will form conformity to form, color, youth, age, etc., and the foundation of the qualities that are based on the practice of heart commitment, etc., is formed. Through steadiness, the foundation of all siddhis in the lord of practice is formed. By means of good analysis [the] special good comprehension is formed. Since the universe is subdued because of passion and so forth, which is different from such steadiness, the foundation of suffering is formed on the basis of steadiness in practice. Since possessing passion one desires manifest [comprehension of] original wisdom, [one takes] the path, then differing from that advancement due to such nature. Due to this, no steadiness in any attainment will be manifested.
Abide in a completely secluded place. Due to giving up all worldly fluctuations, you will form an increase in the original wisdom of bliss. By forming, you will manifest steadiness in subsequent enjoyment, [form] a mind that is truly connected to family, manifest the foundation of incomparable bliss. Meditate now and here on this with your own power.
     Also by means of the power of the mudras that are like this, the seed within the jewel becomes inseparable. Through this one realizes the habituation of the unsurpassed Samvara. Through the yoga of such habituation, oil will appear on white cotton, essence will appear from food, liquid will appear from frozen water, ocean will form from waters, water will appear from waves of water. By virtue of the supreme habituation of everything, multicolored manifestations are formed here. Appropriately the form that manifests from brown sugar. It is like a multicolored sweet body. As one becomes accustomed to all this for one session, one day, half a month, one month, abiding in union, one will attain the original wisdom that has not manifested for thousands of numerous ages. And due to the remembrance of the guru, one will favorably attain [everything] on the basis of the tradition of the texts of the glorious Chakrasamvara. Since I have clarified this here, may, because of this virtue, all beings [attain] the unsurpassed [level]!
     Thus concludes the oral instructions compiled by Kusalipa on the essence of the glorious Chakrasamvara.
