　　不尋常的積累福德的方法

　　1.Mahayana 大乘

　　With the support of taking refugee from Three Jewels, whatever virtue you are doing is geared toward the wisdom. If it is accompanied by Bodhicca, it is Mahayana.

　　皈依叁寶之後，我們做的任何善事，都讓我們通往智慧。如果有菩提心相伴，那麼便是大乘的方法了。

　　Giving the food to a beggar with Bodhicca, knowing that the giver, the recipient and the act of giving are all illusionary, and dedicate the merit to the enlightenment of all the being is the perfect Mahayana. Going to the shop buying a Buddha statue with the aspiration that the body of the Buddha will be manifested in our room; having the script and reading them in front of the Buddha statue all have merits. Exposing one”s misdeed in front of the Buddha statue; offering lamp and flowers to the Buddha statue and dedicate all the merits to all the being. All of these are Mahayana way of accumulating merits. They are considered skillful methods.

　　當我們懷著菩提心給一個乞丐食物，同時了知給予的一方，接受的一方，和給予這件事本身的本質都是虛幻的，並且我們把功德回向給所有的衆生的時候，這就是大乘的方法。去商店買請一尊佛像回家，發願佛陀會由此在我們家裏顯現；在佛像面前誦讀經文，都能積累福德。在佛像面前忏悔，給佛像供燈，供花，並把功德回向給所有衆生。所有這些，都是大乘佛教積累福德的方法。

　　On top of that one can also practice Mahayana”s six parameters such as contemplation and wisdom. Only through contemplation one can manage to tame the mind. Training the mind is most crucial.

　　在這之上，我們可以修大乘的六度，比如說智慧度。唯有通過反複關修，我們才能調柔內心。修心的訓練是十分重要的。

　　Remembering the names of the Buddha and the places of the Buddha has so much merit. There are many reasons why remembering Buddha and his land is important. They each made different aspiration. Every one of them has slight different aspiration. For example, the one specific aspiration of Buddha Amitabha is that whoever heard his name and whoever are familiarize his land will be all connected to him to the enlightenment. His aspiration will tap into those who heard and familiarize his name/land to have the Bodihicca and enlightenment.

　　記得佛們的名字和地點也能積攢福德。因爲每一個不同的佛都許了不同的願。比如阿彌陀佛許的一個願便是，所有聽聞過他的聖號和聖土的人都能夠和他結緣最終得到開悟。那些聽聞過他的聖號和聖土的人們會因著他的願力而生起菩提心最終得到開悟。

　　2.Vajayana 金剛乘

　　Everything aforementioned applies. It is the Dharma with wisdom. The practice of Vajayana is like a snaking traveling in a bamboo tube. There are only two directions. One would either go up or do down. It is the teaching of Buddha, the wisdom of Buddha. Some of them can be very incredible. Some may appear too hard for us to chew. Here we discuss something that is digestible.

　　所有前面講過的大乘的方法之外，金剛乘還有它獨特的地方。這是一個智慧的修行。金剛乘的修行如同在竹筒裏的蛇，只有兩種出路，要麼往上走，要麼往下走。它是佛陀的教言，佛陀的智慧。其中有些方法非常的不同尋常，有些甚至會讓我們覺得匪夷所思。這裏我們講一點我們可以理解的東西。

　　First, we have to clear the debt. You won”t be lucky if you have many debts. This life alone, we have so many debts. If you have many debts, all you have don”t belong to you. We need to purify the debts. And there are many methods of doing that. It is important to practice these with firm attitude to take refugee from Three Jewels and firm determination of Bodihicca。

　　首先，我們要清淨業障。一個背負很多債務的人，是無法稱其爲幸運的。僅僅是這一生，我們就背負很多債。我們需要清淨這些東西。金剛乘裏有很多清淨這些業障的方法。做這些的時候，最重要的是要有皈依叁寶的堅定地心念，誓發菩提心.

　　Take Refuge 皈依叁寶

　　When we take refugee, we take refugee to the Dharma, to truth, to whom who taught the truth and realize the truth, and to the community that shares this truth, but not to a particular person. After taking refuge, we should not 1) take refuge from someone who does not believe in impermanent; 2) take refuge from ones who are not enlightened; and 3) be influenced by those who believe in extreme method. Buddhism is a middle way, but not an extreme way. We can be friends with those who believe in extreme methods, but we cannot be influenced by them spiritually.

　　當我們皈依的時候，我們皈依佛，歸依法，皈依僧。我們並不是皈依某一個人。皈依以後，我們要記得1)不再皈依那些不相信無常的人；2)不再皈依那些沒有開悟的人；3)不被那些信奉極端方法的人影響。佛法走的是一條中間的道路，而不是一條極端的道路。我們可以和那些信奉極端方法的人爲友，但是不能爲他們影響。
