【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- The characteristics of laziness

【Offerings made by yourself are offerings made manually by yourself. Do not have others make them for you out of your laziness, indifference, or carelessness.】

What are offerings made manually by yourself? It is not something that, “Oh, we have done it ourselves!” No, it is not like that. It is not just done with your body and speech; your mind needs to be in this as well – you will have to not be lazy. Pay attention to the word “lazy.” Lazy means your mind does not concord with joyous perseverance. If you do not use the teachings properly to motivate yourself to do this, that is called laziness. When other people force you to do it, you do so with grievance. That is considered laziness. Even though you have done this and accumulated merits, however, this is such a pity! We all behave this way, wasting our time and wasting our energy for nothing! We would have accumulated meagre merits, and perhaps even amassed many sins! This is most unfortunate.

If at this time you are able to change yourself by gaining the correct view, then even though you are still doing as much work as before, this will issue an entirely different effect. Moreover, under many such situations, you will be able to obtain [what you wish for] now.

皈依 : 懈怠的行相

【自作供养者，谓非由于懈怠懒惰放逸增上，而令他作，唯自手作。】

什么是自作供养呢？就是不要说，哦，现在我们自己作了！不是的，不是这个。不单单是你的身口在那儿做，还要你的心，自己不自懈怠。懈怠要注意哦！懈怠就是你心里边没有这个精进相应的，没有如理如法地推着自己去做的话，这个叫懈怠。别人逼着你去做，你的嘛心里面委委屈屈地做，这个是懈怠。虽然你自己做了，功德是有的，这好可惜！我们都是这样，时间也是白白浪费了，精力也是白白浪费了，然后呢得到的功德却是很少，乃至于往往还得到很多的罪过咧！这是最可惜的一件事情。

那个时候你只要能够转变，有了这个正知见，同样地你还是做那么多事情，就会有绝不一样的果报，而且很多这种情况，眼前就会得到。
