《益西措嘉佛母传记》 中英文对照（115）【对密宗有信心者入】
His face radiant with joy, the Guru placed his right hand on the head of the Lady and said: "The time has come for you to perform, here in this place, the yoga of the vidyadhara of immortality. The events in Paro Taktsang show that if you practice accordingly, and with the blessings of the Teacher, success will surely come to you. I will open the mandala of Amitayus and grant you the empowerment, but you must find acompanion as support for your long-life practice. Likewise, Khyidren, this girl from Mon, possesses the character and all the physical marks of a wisdom dakini of vajra activity. Give her, then, to me and I will make her my consort for the mantric practice of Vajrakila. For it is necessary to disseminate many oral instructions on Vajrakumara, otherwise the Secret Mantra will not spread in this foolish land of Tibet, and the yogis who practice it will be unable to protect even their own lives. Indeed the multitude of gods and spirits of Tibet, the enemies of Dharma, will create obstructions, and the spreading of the Secret Mantra will be halted. And even were it not so hindered, it would vanish speedily."
"Then I," the Lady Tsogyal recalled, "made prostrations, and to thank the Guru for his kindness, offered him a mandala of gold and turquoise together with the girl Trashi Khyidren. Isaid: 'Great Guru! Vast is your kindness in bestowing on me, the woman Tsogyal, the pith instructions for the yoga of longlife. But tell me, what kind of companion will I need as a support for it? Is Atsara Sale unsuitable? Great would be your compassion if you opened for me also the tantric mandala of Vajrakila. I have offered you the girl Khyidren. Now in your kindness, I pray you to open for me the door of the Secret Mantra. For I am a timid woman and of scant ability; of lowly condition, the butt of everyone. If I go for alms, I am set upon by dogs; if food and riches come my way, I am the prey of thieves; since I am beautiful, I am the quarry of every lecherous knave; if I am busy with much to do, the country folk accuse me; if I don't do what they think I should, the people criticize; if I put a foot wrong, everyone detests me. I have to worry about everything I do. That is what it is like to be a woman! How can a woman possibly gain accomplishment in Dharma? Just managing to survive is already hard enough! So I beg you, give to me as well the instructions for Vajrakila that are bound within your heart.'
