【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- offering of practice

What is then offering of practice?  That is your cultivation.  Within the ten great vows [of Samantabhadra], the third one is to widely cultivate offering, it is just like this, offerings with external materials. Then for the services with body and speech, the best one is to practice in accordance to the sublime teachings and make this an offering.  This is the offering of practice.  It is as described below.  

for at least as fast as it takes to milk a cow [ten to fifteen minutes]】 

  

This says for the offering of practice, even if it is for a very short while.  To milk a cow, that only takes a short time.  Milking a cow is something you do every day, for a very short while.  What do you cultivate during a time [as short as this]?  

striving for all the followings:】 

You strive to cultivate, to cultivate. 

recollecting the four immeasurables, the fourfold  condensation of the teaching [(1) all composite  phenomena are impermanent, (2) all contaminated things are miserable, (3) all phenomena are selfless, and (4)  nirvana is bliss and peace], the three refuges, and the perfections; admiring profound emptiness and fixing on it without conceptualization;】  

An understanding of emptiness, stay focus on this.  

disciplining your mind through the vows of ethical  discipline; and meditating on and striving for the factors  of enlightenment, the perfections and the four ways to gather disciples.

These, regarding the meanings of these, these will be explained one by one in later sections.

皈依 : 正行供养

正行供养呢?是修行。我们十大愿王中,第三个广修供养,就是这样的—以外面的财敬,然后呢里边这个身口的承事,而其中最好的是正法如实修行供养,就是正行供养。就是下面的:

谓于下至构牛乳顷,】

说这个正行供养,哪怕很短的一个时候,那个挤牛奶,那是很短的时候,那个牛奶每天要去挤的,很短的一个时候。修什么?

精勤修习

努力去修,修—

四无量心,四种法集,随念三宝,波罗蜜多,及能胜解甚深空性,无分别住,

了解了空性,安住在这个上头。

于净尸罗,起防护心,于菩提分,六度四摄,精勤修学。

这些。关于这个内容,后面呢将来一一讲的,就是讲那些。
