(( 當我的心籠罩於無明中時，批評之念伴隨著每個聲音；
明白實相就是自心之性，則一切外相本性即實相境界 ))
在阿卡斯城 (Agarce)住有一户富裕人家，育有十三歲的女兒名喚寶賢 ( 瑪尼巴札 )，並與相同種姓的人訂下婚約，期待年紀適合時以迎娶過門。
在那期間，瑜伽士庫庫里巴恰巧至此乞食化緣。
當少女寶賢打開門時，不禁被門外的瑜伽士的相貌吸引，淘氣的說：「歐！這位瑜伽士，您的相貌多麼俊美啊！為何托缽且著綴滿補丁的破舊衣服為食呢？當娶個嬌美少女為妻，過著舒適的生活啊！」
瑜伽士庫庫里巴尊者卻答覆她：「吾人已對輪迴深懷恐懼，努力追尋解脫之大樂。人身難得善用如珍寶，來生能否再得殊難料。暇滿人身所依勝妙聚，陷入世俗不淨家累事。欲望需求種種痛苦生，了悟此故捨妻棄家財。」
少女聽了尊者的話後，收起嬉笑，同時生起很大的敬仰心，她端奉飲食以供養尊者，並誠懇地請其開示解脫的法門。
尊者說：「我住在火葬場，如妳想要更瞭解佛法，請到那兒找我。」在傍晚時份，她便跑到火葬場。
庫庫里巴尊者見她求法之心成熟，是個法器，便予其勝樂金剛的灌頂加持，並授其生起和圓滿次第的觀修指引。依著上師的教誡，少女寶賢於靜處獨自襌修了七天。之後返回家中。然而父母正因遍尋不著她而非常憤怒，遂不問理由狠狠的打罵了她。
少女寶賢此時向父母說：「三界之中無不是過去的父母眷屬，然而種性貴賤始終逃脫不了輪迴的痛苦。除了血緣和養育之外，你們無法賦予我自在和滿足。故而我仰賴上師之教誨，決定以修行以解脫輪迴之苦。」
少女所說的話使父母振憾，不知如何回答。而少女此後便依照上師的教誡，完全捨棄了世俗的工作，專心修持儀軌。過了一年多後，少女的未婚夫前來迎娶她。她沒有反對。婚後，寶賢盡心盡力料理家務，並善護念自己身、口、意的行為，對人溫文，說話和順，生活和諧美滿。她也生育了一子和一女，寶賢對子女循循善誘，悉心裁培。
自她見過上師後，一晃十二年如飛而逝，然而寶賢心中一直惦記著上師的恩德，希望能再重見上師。某日晨間，寶賢如常提壺到溪邊盛水，返家途中，不慎被樹根絆倒，剎時壺也摔破。下午，丈夫未見寶賢返家，故至溪邊找尋，然而唯見寶賢兩眼凝視著地上的破壺。丈夫與她說話也不理睬，彷若進入另一個世界。她的家人和朋友也都趕來，並試圖將其喚醒，但她無有任何反應、唯處靜默。
直至傍晚之際，寶賢突然說出了偈言：
「無始以來苦眾生，皮囊摧毀命不具。
何苦重覆輪迴路，歸返火宅何所適？
今時破罐瞭義明，安住本俱大樂土。
奇哉上師難思議，欲得安樂需依止。」
寶賢躍升空中，演揚清淨美妙的佛法，她以二十一天教化阿噶爾斯的居民。即身前往空行淨土去了。

「 當我的心籠罩於無明中時，批評之念伴隨著每個聲音；當明白實相就是自心之性，一切外相本性即實相境界。」─ 八十四成就者傳 / 瑜伽母-寶賢
....................
一切的存在是無常的，眾生由於無明，故而一再淪入三界火宅。破壺之際，壺的內外虛空立即何而為一；猶如河川匯至海洋一般，此即瑜伽母-寶賢所證於剎那間之二元對立瓦解之「無分別三昧」。

She of the Broken Pot/The Model Wife
Manibhadra was the daughter of a wealthy family in Agarce. As was their custom, she was betrothed at the age of 13 to a man of her own caste, but lived with her parents until old enough to take up her wifely duties. One day, while in her mother’s kitchen, the guru Kukkuripa came to her house begging for food. She welcomed him and served him with her own hands, then asked why he chose to be as he is now and not lead a comfortable life with a family. At that, the yogin laughed and explained the preciousness of a human birth as an opportunity to make spiritual progress and to free himself from the wheel of rebirth. Manibhadra’s faith was kindled and her trust of the yogin made her beg for him to show her the way to liberation. The yogin told her she could find him in the cremation grounds if she wanted more information, which was what she did that night.
Although she had never gone out alone at night, she walked fearlessly through the streets to the cremation ground, and when she came upon the yogin’s hut, he welcomed her in. Recognizing the maturity of her mind and her sincerity, he gave her initiation and empowerment. Then he instructed her in the practice of creative and fulfillment meditation. She remained in his hut alone for 7 days while she established herself in the practice of her sadhanas. However, when she was no where to be found, her family grew frantic, and when she finally returned, her parents beat her. With great calm, she defended herself stating that pure bloodline and fine reputation would not free her from samsara, and she had been with her guru, who taught her how to practice a sadhana of liberation. At that, her parents were so impressed that they didn’t argue any further, on top of that, they allowed her to practice her sadhanas one-pointedly.
A year passed and it was time for her fiancé to claim his bride. The family was worried she would not fulfill her obligations, but she accompanied her husband to her new home with no complaint or resistance. She became a model wife, doing all and more than what was expected of her with a good attitude. In time, she gave birth to a son, and later, a daughter.
Twelve years passed in perfect harmony, and on the 13th anniversary of meeting with her guru, a tree root tripped her, causing her to break the water pitcher she was carrying. For the rest of the day, she was nowhere to be seen. Her family searched for her and eventually found her at the place she fell. When her husband spoke to her, she seemed totally unaware of his presence; she only had her eyes fixed on the broken bits of the pitcher.
Manibhadra remained immobile and silent until nightfall. Then she looked up, surprised to see so many people gathered around her. She then sang a song of realization:
From the beginning of time, sentient beings
Have broken their vessels, and their lives end.
But why do they then return home?
Today, I have broken my vessel.
But I am abandoning my samsara home
For the realms of pure pleasure.
How wonderful is the guru
If you desire happiness, rely on him.
Manibhadra levitated into the sky and remained there for 21 days, giving instruction to the people of Agarce. Then she bid farewell to her family and friends, and was assumed bodily into the Paradise of the Dakinis.
