【Benefits of relying on the teacher】- The Bhagavan Buddhas are pleased with Bodhisattvas who have engaged in what their teachers teach them
【And also:
Child of good lineage, the Bhagavan Buddhas are pleased with Bodhisattvas who have engaged in what their teachers teach them.】
As long as you abide by the instructions from a virtuous teacher, then “the Bhagavan Buddhas are pleased.” What pleases the Bhagavan Buddhas? They are pleased to see your attainment of Buddhahood as soon as possible! If you have the ability to listen to the instructions of virtuous teachers and truly apply it accordingly, of course Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are pleased. So our truthful offering is not to say: today you have cooked a few good dishes, played the Dharma instruments well and chanted well, and followed by offering a good meal to him. With regard to these mundane tastes, not to mention that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not have an appetite for this. Even the smell of deity realms is unbearable to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! The smell of the deity realms for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas is the same as our smells to the deities. What should be our true offering? To engage and apply according to teachers’ teachings, that is it. As we have just mentioned, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are pleased not with our vegetable dishes; they prefer our sincere and respectful “attitude” in offering! This is what you should understand. Thus, they still prefer us to apply earnestly, and we must not say: “ Well! In this case, we should not offer.” Then you are wrong! This concept is somewhat off… When you have good things today, offer the best; otherwise the bottom line is you still need to play the instrument and chant with greatest respect without any flaw. Yes.

亲近胜利 : 随善知识教诫，诸佛欢喜
【又云：“善男子，若诸菩萨，随善知识所有教诫，诸佛世尊心正欢喜。】
你只要能够听着善知识的告诉你的话，那个“诸佛世尊心欢喜”，佛世尊欢喜的什么？欢喜你早一点成佛嘛！你能够听着善知识的教诫，你真的做到，当然佛菩萨欢喜。所以我们真正地供养不是说：今天你煮了几个好菜跑得去；哦，这个敲打念唱很好的，让他吃一餐。我们世间的那些东西，不要说佛菩萨没有这个胃口，到天上面他来闻的话，哎呀，那个味道是没办法忍受啊！那个天上东西佛菩萨去闻起来，就像天上闻我们一样。我们真正的供养是什么？如法照他的教诫，这样。所以我们刚才说的，佛菩萨欢喜的，不是欢喜我们炒几个菜；而佛菩萨欢喜的，欢喜我们至诚恭敬地去供养他的“心”！这个你要了解的。所以他还是欢喜我们这么认真地去做，我们不要说：“啊！那既然这样，我们不供养了。”那你就错了!这个概念错一点点哪……。这是你今天有好的，最好的东西供养；今天没有的、最差的，你还是至诚恭敬地跑得去敲打念唱，板眼一点都不错。对。
