【 How to rely in practice  】- Benefits from remembering and appreciating

For now, [let’s] not talk about not understanding this concept. For those who understand the concept and have faith in it, consider this concept absolute right, then, I believe [they will] want to quickly find such a teacher! Upon having this thought: "However, the teacher who ordained me is not like that. So, I do not want to make offerings to him." This concept seemingly appears to be correct, but actually, it is completely wrong, totally wrong! Every matter has proper steps to be taken, has the proper stages to complete it. If there is a real Buddha or Bodhisattva in front of you, honestly speaking, you may not recognize them. In fact, the reason you have encountered a Buddha or Bodhisattva is due to your karmic deeds. Now, the one who ordained you is the person who first guides you to the entrance [of Buddha Dharma], and you don’t even realize this kindness and appreciate it. Once you find Buddha, [with this attitude] will you really be able to find Buddha? Thus, it is said earlier that, our greatest worldly benefactors are our parents.

加行亲近轨理 : 感念功德

现在暂时不了解的不谈，了解了信得过了，说一点都没有错，那我想，我赶快去找这么一个老师！一想，说：“我自己剃头的这个老师可不是这样的，那个不要去供养他。”这个概念表面上面看起来好像对，其实完全错，完全错！任何一件事情，一定要有个层次，一定要有个层次。真正的佛菩萨在前面，你也不认识，说实在的。实际上呢，你所以能感得佛菩萨，一定要有你的业。现在剃度你的人，这个是引进门的第一个人，你对他这个恩你都不知道、不去感，你找到佛，你能找得到吗？所以刚才说的，我们世间真正最大的大恩人─父母。
