【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- We respect the 3 Jewels, so will living beings respect us

【For, as much as we respect the three jewels, so will living beings respect us. The King of
Concentrations Sutra: 338
You will obtain a result similar
To the kinds of karma you do. 】

If you can be this respectful, then others will respect you as well. This is what the scriptures tell us. It is like that. When you are able to perfect this, you will become Buddha. On the other hand, [this means] you will have alleviated all your sufferings. Therefore, when we truly practice, we should examine from this perspective. Then we should practice according to the teachings to achieve the correct measure of this attitude and we should do so to the best of our ability. This is the “special precepts.” There are three things which we should stop doing and three other things which we should strive to learn to do. Do not look down on these! These three things, if we can really act according to this and achieve proper measure, there are incredible benefits. The principle seems easy when you talk about it, but when you actually try to practice it, there is a great deal to be learnt, a great deal to be learnt.

皈依 : 自恭敬三宝，众生亦如是恭敬自

【自能如何恭敬三宝，则诸众生亦能如是恭敬自故，如《三摩地王经》云：“作集如何业，当得如是果。”】

你自己能够这样恭敬，那么人家也这么恭敬你，经上面这么告诉我们，这样。当你能够圆满地达到了，你就是佛；反过来说，那个一切的痛苦就解除。所以我们正规修行，应该从这个地方去观察，然后呢如理如量地、随分随力地行持。这个是别学，三样东西应该遮止，三样东西应该努力地学习。别小看喔！这个三样东西哦，如果我们现在能够真正如理如量去做的话，有不得了的好处。这个道理说起来是简单极了，然后你真正去行持的话，这个里边学问大得不得了，大得不得了。
