[Summary of the Chapter (419.1-419.6)]
[The summary of the chapter (comments on Ch. 11.29):]
Because all things are primordially pure in the display of Samantabhadra, (the feast-offering) is to be performed, without acceptance and rejection鈥擲uch were his words (tshig-tu'o) in this tantra, the essence of secret indestructible reality (rdo-rje gsang-ba'i). At the time when he spoke with these words (zhes), all the self-manifesting appearances of the spontaneous Bounteous Array were not extraneous to the Buddhas鈥� display, and so the 罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补 (de-bzhin gshegs-pa nyid) is said to have held meaningful discourse (ched-du gleng-ngo) with the 罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补 himself (de-bzhin gshegs-pa-nyid-la), indicating that there is no duality of object and subject. in this way, all things are revealed to be self-manifesting; and that which la self-manifesting is revealed to be the non-dual intrinsic mind-as-such, substantially uncreated, in the manner of a dream.
This completes ('o) the exegesis of the eleventh chapter (le'u-ste bcu-gcig-pa) from (las) the Secret Nucleus (gsang-ba'i snying-po) of reality, Definitive with respect to the Real (de-kho-na-nyid nges-pa) display of pristine cognition, in which it manifests. It is entitled the meaning of the 惭补峁囜笉补濒补 of Feast Offerings (tshogs-kyi dkyil-'khor) in which all things that appear are made Into the path of skillful means and discriminative awareness by the gathering of all Yogins who have appropriate view and conduct, by the free enjoyment of the implements possessed by these (yogins), by the timely gathering of the meditational deities, 岣屇乲颈苍墨蝉 and oath-bound protectors, and by the perfection of the two provisions in the mind, without clinging or apprehension.
