【The Meditation Session - Preparation】- Supplicate for the following three

【Please bless all living beings — my mothers — and myself so that we may quickly stop all flawed states of mind, beginning with not respecting the teacher and ending with conceiving signs of true existence in the two kinds of self. 】

This is the unfavorable condition. It is to purify opposing conditions and plead for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless me, to eradicate all my obstacles. So, from where does adversity start? It begins with not respecting the teacher. Why does it begin from here? Because the root of studying Buddha Dharma is to first rely on virtuous teachers. If you disrespect the teacher, very sorry, you totally don’t even know what the root cause is. If you are not able to encounter virtuous teachers, there is absolutely no chance to study Buddha Dharma! This we need to understand. So, the first is to eradicate [flaws]. Then in the end, what is your projected goal? It is to thoroughly stop the conceiving signs of true existence in the two kinds of self – “selflessness of the person and selflessness of knowledge.” Therefore, “ending with”, in other words, from the beginning until the very end, the two conceiving signs of the true existence can be totally purified – they are the unfavorable conditions. Thus, next…

【Please bless us so that we may easily produce all flawless states of mind, beginning with respecting the teacher and ending with knowing the reality of selflessness. 】

Conversely, the unfavorable conditions are cleansed and favorable conditions are increased.

【Please bless us to quell all inner and outer obstacles. 】

Besides, there are other related obstacles, pray for Buddhas’ and Bodhisattvas’ blessings to eliminate them all. Once [the obstacles are] eliminated, then naturally it will become very easy, pretty easy for you to apply the practice!

修持轨理-加行 : 三事求加

【谓：“惟愿加持，从不恭敬善知识起，乃至执着二种我相，所有一切颠倒分别，速当灭除。】

这个是违缘，就是逆缘净除它，说希望诸佛菩萨加持我，把我一切的罪障统统净除掉。那么，一切的罪障从那里开始啊？从不恭敬善知识开始。为什么从这个地方开始？因为修学佛法的根本，先要依止善知识。你如果说有不恭敬善知识的话，对不起，你根本哪，根本在什么地方你没摸到，你遇不到善知识，绝无可能修学佛法！这一点我们要了解，所以第一个要除掉。最后你要达到的目的是什么呢？要彻底地净除“我、法”两种障碍。所以“乃至于”，换句话说，从最开始一直到最后的两种执着的相，彻底地消除掉，这个是违缘。那么下面呢，

【从敬知识，乃至通达无我真实，所有一切无颠倒心，速当发起。】

把它反过来，逆缘是净除、顺缘增长。

【及其内外一切障缘，悉当寂灭。”】

除了这个以外，还有其他的相关的所有的障碍因缘，统统祈求佛菩萨加持，把它消除。
