【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- The bestowal of initiations, both vase and secret -1

Receive through your guru’s kindness
The bestowal of initiations, both vase and secret.
Purifying body, speech, and mind,
Such practitioners are fit for attainments.
By completing the collections
That arise from the branch of concentration,
They will quickly achieve the supreme attainment.
This is the way of mantra.


The section before this is the shared foundation for Mahayana training, regardless of whether it is for Sutrayana or Tantrayana. Once you have stabilized this shared base, if you have the capacity to take the fast path, then that is when you enter the Tantrayana. Actually, Tantrayana not only is the quickest path, but it also has a special characteristic. What is it? What kind of characteristic? This swiftness not only benefits the self, but it also benefits others. Why does it say that it benefits the self and others? What is the characteristic of your aspiration of the supreme spirit of enlightenment? It is because you want to alleviate the afflictions for all sentient beings. Although you have this aspiration, to alleviate their afflictions, you still need to learn the method to alleviate the affliction. Now we are submerged in the long, dark nights of ignorance, with such ignorance and lack of wisdom, we can’t even help ourselves, how can we rescue others? So one still relies on the most accurate and thorough method, and this method has to be taught by no one else but Buddha.

道次引导 : 瓶密诸灌顶-1

瓶密诸灌顶,由尊重恩得,行者身语心,清净成就器。由圆满定支,所生资粮故,速当得成就,是住密咒规。”

前面这个是大乘的共基,不管是显教或者密教,你在这个共同的基础建立稳固了以后,如果你觉得力量够强,走最快速的路子,那么那个时候就可以进入密教。实际上密教不但是最快速的路子,它还有一个特点,什么特点呢?什么特点?这个快速不仅仅是自利,而且还要利他。为什么说两样东西都对自利呢?因为你发大菩提心的特质是什么?就是说你为了要解决一切众生的苦恼,那么虽然你发了这个心,但是要解决他的苦恼,还要学这个解决苦恼的方法。拿我们现在长夜无明当中,这种无知、无识,救自己都救不了,你怎么救别人?所以他一定还要最正确圆满的方法,而这个最正确的圆满的方法,还非佛不可。
