【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- How to recall the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha

It is because one has previously taken refuge in Buddha, respected Buddha, and therefore realized that Buddha came from practicing in the teachings properly. And this teaching has such great benefit. Therefore, since I wish to learn, I wish to be like him and practice according to the teachings. Um, since it is like this, therefore, all Sangha community members came about like this! So in this way, we recollect them. If we can think of them in this way, then things become simple. Yes, we want to go for refuge and respect the Buddha. The reason Buddha attained Buddhahood is because he practiced the teachings and in the process of practicing the teachings, (it is) being a member of the Sangha community! Ah, we should now strive as such! If you are able to think of this point, you will naturally feel that you want to strive according to the teachings! You won’t use this teaching to harm yourself. What does it mean by using the teaching to harm yourself? That is, you don’t take the teachings to introspect and purify yourself, but you use it to demand others to comply with it. If you use it to demand others to comply, then you’ve got it wrong.

皈依 : 如何忆念佛法僧

就因为他前面因为皈佛、敬佛，所以想到佛是由于如法修证而来，这个法有这么好处，所以那我既然要学，我也要跟他一样地如理修行。嗯，这样的，所以这个僧是这样的！那么以这个方式我们去忆念。如果我们能这样忆念的话，那就简单了。是的，我们要皈敬佛，佛之所以成佛，是修行法；修行法的过程当中是僧哪！啊，我们现在也要去努力啊！你能够想到这一点的话，你自然会觉得如法努力啊，是不会拿了这个法，去自己伤害自己。所谓拿了法自己伤害自己是怎么讲呢？就是不拿这个法自己反省、净化，而拿这个法去要求别人，是要求别人就弄错了。
