【 Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels 皈依 】 The offerings to a perceived and nonperceived object 现前与不现前的供养
【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- The offerings to a perceived and nonperceived object
【Offerings to a perceived object means offerings to the above mentioned two as they are manifest to your own sensory faculties. 】
That is what you perceive in front of you, either Buddha’s embodiment of form, or that which is in the stupa temple.
【Offerings to a nonperceived object refers to offerings made to a buddha or his stupas that are not actually present, and made for the sake of all buddhas and stupas. 】
This is offering to a nonperceived object.
【Offerings made for the sake of the Buddha to one or more images and stupas after his nirvana are also considered offerings to a nonperceived object. 】
After Buddha’s nirvana, we have built Buddha’s statues and then the temples. These are all now offerings to nonperceived objects.

皈依 : 现前与不现前的供养
【现前供养者，谓前二事，现自根前而设供养。】
就是这前面东西，或者佛的色身，或者在塔庙当中。
【不现前供养者，谓佛佛塔非现在前，普为一切佛佛塔故而设供养。】
这是不现前供养。
【又若于佛般涅槃后为供佛故，造像及塔，若一数等，亦非现供。】
佛涅槃以后，我们造了佛像，然后呢寺院，这个都不是现前供养。
