【 Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels 皈依 】Offerings that you help others to make 教他供养

【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Offerings that you help others to make

【Offerings that you help others to make refers to offerings that you, out of compassion, cause someone else to make. This occurs when you have some small things to offer and you think, "These suffering living beings, who have little merit and nothing to give, will gain happiness by making these offerings." 】

This is offerings that you help others make. Pay attention to what is helping others make offering! It is something that one has to offer, and he knows the merits of offering but because he noticed how others are worse off, so he is willing to give up his merits to help others [accumulate]. It is not because he is stingy and not willing to [make the offering]. It is not something which he finds difficult to give up for offering and so he tells others to make offerings instead. This [type of action] would not count! We should understand the key points throughout the texts.

【you, out of compassion, cause someone else to make. 】

There! Therefore, this is when you ask others to offer because you are compassionate towards them. You see this great opportunity and you let others have it. Much like a good business transaction, you know very well [the profits], but ah, you see how poor this person is! Okay, I let you have it. That is the mentality.

皈依 : 教他供养

【教他供养者，谓念自己略有少物，然诸有情贫苦薄福，无力供养，若教此供，当获安乐，】

这是教他供，他这个教他供注意哦！他自己有，他也晓得供养的功德，但是呢他看见人家更差，他愿意把那个功德让给别人。不是自己小气不愿意哦，自己舍不得教别人供，这个不算！这个我们要了解的，它每一个地方的关键。

【由悲愍心，唯教他供。】

喏！所以这个时候所以教他供的，因为悲愍别人。明明看见这个好机会让给别人，就像一笔好生意，明明晓得—啊，看见他太穷了！好了，让给你做。这样的心情。
