【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- 2 methods to find a place of refuge

Now, being in these three realms (desire, form, and formless realms), in order to find the correct path, it will inevitably come down to this. Therefore, by the same reasons stated earlier, for the sufferings of this world, in order to escape the suffering, you must find a place of true refuge. Therefore, under these circumstances, you will possibly have two ways of doing this. One way is by emotion, with whatever you encounter, you stick to it. This may not prove to be very reliable. Even though when you speak of it, it may seem really good, but it is not necessarily safe. The other way is not like that. After you choose with reasons, truly, according to proper principles, this is the path which can help you resolve the problems and it is the only path. May I ask then, will you change your mind again? If you change, you will have lost your purpose entirely.

皈依 : 寻求皈依的两种做法

现在我们在这个三界之内，要想找一个正确的路子，也必然是如此。所以前面同样的理由，你为了……见到世间的苦，要想从这个痛苦当中透脱出来，所以你要找真实的皈投之处。所以在这种状态当中，你可能有两种作法：一种就是感情的，碰到什么，就碰到什么了就沾上去，那个时候不一定保险。尽管说的时候哎呀好得很，但是不一定保险；另外一个呢，不是。经过你理智地抉择，的的确确如理如法地，说这条路是能够帮你解决，而唯有这条路，请问：你还能变吗？如果你一变，你就整个地你的目标就失去。
