【皈依 Taking refuge】皈依二因 The 2 causes for taking refuge

皈依 : 皈依二因

因为我们感受到住这个三界之苦，所以体会到唯有三宝能救护，那个时候你心里面哪，哎呀，你实在害怕这个世间啊！有这种害怕，第一个。因为你害怕要找救你脱苦的这个地方，找皈依。所以假定这两个因是确实的话，那个时候你的心里面，产生什么现象？啊！产生一心皈投依靠三宝，那个时候叫变意。

【Taking refuge】- The 2 causes for taking refuge

It is because we feel the suffering within the three realms (desire, form, and formless realms), therefore understand that only the Three Jewels can protect and save us. At that point, in your mind, ah, you are truly frightened by this samsara world! You will have this kind of fear. This is the first one. Because of your fear, you will seek for something to evade this suffering, you will seek to take refuge. Therefore, suppose that these two causes are truly internalised [in your mind], what will happen in your mind at that time? Ah! You will wholeheartedly take refuge and rely on the Three Jewels. At that time, it is called transforming the mind.
