【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- The exemplary behavior of lineage masters

【 We should train ourselves to practice like the Precious Teacher [Drom-don-ba] and Nal-jor-ba-chen-bo, who, if they saw a mere scrap of yellow cloth on the path, would not step on it, but would dust it off and carry it to a clean place. 】

Drom-don-ba and Nal-jor-ba-chen-bo were the two great disciples who were closest to Je Atisha. They saw a piece of yellow cloth on the path...what does the yellow cloth represent? It is the kasaya (monastic robe), the kasaya’s color. This is because it is a symbol of pureness, it is the color of the symbol of pureness. Therefore, as soon as they see it, even just for the color yellow, they thought, “Oh, this is the pure symbol of the Sangha jewel!” So, they immediately picked it up, dusted it off and put it somewhere that is clean. They were that respectful. Now, a piece of yellow cloth has been made into a robe, worn by a person, yet we look down on the person! This is why we cannot achieve. This is what we should understand. We should follow this to learn to the best of our abilities.

皈依 : 祖师行谊

【敦巴仁波卿与大瑜伽师，见碎黄布在行路中，皆不轻越，抖置净处，如是行持，应随修学。】

那个敦巴尊者以及大瑜伽师，就是阿底峡尊者的两个最亲近的大弟子。他们在马路上是看见黄布—黄布是什么意思？就是那袈裟，袈裟的颜色。他因为这个是清净幢相，清净幢相的颜色就是这样的，所以一看到那个，乃至于黄颜色，他就想到：哦，这个是僧宝的清净幢相！马上拿出来，然后呢弄弄干净放在干净的地方，他这样地恭敬法。那块黄布现在做了袈裟披在身上，是人，我们还去轻视他呀！所以我们不成功。这是我们应该了解，应该照着这样去随分随力地学习的。
