不寻常的积累福德的方法
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.
皈依三宝之后，我们做的任何善事，都让我们通往智慧。如果有菩提心相伴，那么便是大乘的方法了。
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.
当我们怀着菩提心给一个乞丐食物，同时了知给予的一方，接受的一方，和给予这件事本身的本质都是虚幻的，并且我们把功德回向给所有的众生的时候，这就是大乘的方法。去商店买请一尊佛像回家，发愿佛陀会由此在我们家里显现；在佛像面前诵读经文，都能积累福德。在佛像面前忏悔，给佛像供灯，供花，并把功德回向给所有众生。所有这些，都是大乘佛教积累福德的方法。
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.
在这之上，我们可以修大乘的六度，比如说智慧度。唯有通过反复关修，我们才能调柔内心。修心的训练是十分重要的。
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.
记得佛们的名字和地点也能积攒福德。因为每一个不同的佛都许了不同的愿。比如阿弥陀佛许的一个愿便是，所有听闻过他的圣号和圣土的人都能够和他结缘最终得到开悟。那些听闻过他的圣号和圣土的人们会因着他的愿力而生起菩提心最终得到开悟。
2.Vajayana 金刚乘
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.
所有前面讲过的大乘的方法之外，金刚乘还有它独特的地方。这是一个智慧的修行。金刚乘的修行如同在竹筒里的蛇，只有两种出路，要么往上走，要么往下走。它是佛陀的教言，佛陀的智慧。其中有些方法非常的不同寻常，有些甚至会让我们觉得匪夷所思。这里我们讲一点我们可以理解的东西。
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，我们要清净业障。一个背负很多债务的人，是无法称其为幸运的。仅仅是这一生，我们就背负很多债。我们需要清净这些东西。金刚乘里有很多清净这些业障的方法。做这些的时候，最重要的是要有皈依三宝的坚定地心念，誓发菩提心.
Take Refuge 皈依三宝
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.
当我们皈依的时候，我们皈依佛，归依法，皈依僧。我们并不是皈依某一个人。皈依以后，我们要记得1)不再皈依那些不相信无常的人；2)不再皈依那些没有开悟的人；3)不被那些信奉极端方法的人影响。佛法走的是一条中间的道路，而不是一条极端的道路。我们可以和那些信奉极端方法的人为友，但是不能为他们影响。
