密乘行者的根本要素   林鈺堂簡繁轉換 - 繁體

 

弟子海涵求請就此題目給予開示,因而略述如下:

一、 菩提心

真誠發心為使一切眾生早日成佛而進修佛道。

二、 出離世事

不放棄世間的牽絆,無以專心投入修行及法務,結果會變成一事無成。

三、 依止上師

若有機緣蒙具德上師攝受,當盡量親近、依止。

四、 長遠努力

不能長遠,不會有成果。

五、 切實修法

依上師之教示,每日不斷修法;不要東摸西碰、好高騖遠。

 

 若能遵守上述諸項,便有望成為真正的密宗行者,將來能利益大眾。

Fundamental Essentials of a Tantric Practitioner

Dr. Yutang Lin

 

Disciple Hai Han asked me to expound on this topic, and hence I mentioned the key points as follows:

 

1.      Bodhicitta

Sincerely aspire to help all sentient beings attain enlightenment sooner, and hence devote oneself to Dharma practices.

2.      Renouncing Worldly Engagements

Without leaving worldly engagements behind, there is no way to concentrate on Dharma practices and activities, and consequently one will achieve nothing.

3.      Following Guru

If one has the opportunity to be received as a disciple by a virtuous Guru, then one should do one's best to attend and follow the Guru.

4.      Perpetual Endeavor

Without constant and continuous endeavors, there will be no fruits eventually.

5.      Solid Practices

Daily engage in Dharma practices according to Guru's instructions. Do not try this and that from time to time as one's interests switch.

 

If one can abide by the key points mentioned above, then one would become a genuine Tantric practitioner, and could be expected to benefit many people in the long run.
