【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- If we do not offer in this lifetime, you will have no opportunity in your next life

【Thus, if you despise small offerings and do not give them, your entire life will pass in that way. 】

If we do not make small offerings, then you will forever be like this, forever be like this! Your entire current life will be like so. If you do not offer in your life now, you will have wasted your previous roots of virtues for nothing. Then you will have no opportunity in your next life. Conversely.

【However, if you make earnest effort in stages, beginning with small things, conditions will improve. You should practice as Pu-chung-wa did. It is said that on one occasion he made a preparation of incense worth twenty-two gold coins. 】

This says, conversely, even if it is little, though it is small, but you offer it with faith and earnestness. Then conditions will improve. So, you should learn to be like Pu-chung-wa. It is said that on one occasion, he used 22 gold coins to make incense. Oh! Now the economy is excellent and you do not think much of 22 gold coins but at that time, it was an enormous amount! Have you seen the biography of Je Atisha? With the effort of the king and the whole country, after a few decades, how much did they gather, there was only so much gold. So, then he had offered that much at once. Why? This is a condition issued from the effects of his karma. So as long as you truly go do this, the fruits will arise very quickly.

皈依 : 这一生不供，下一世更没机会

【若于微供轻而弗供，则永生中终是唯尔。】

假定我们对小的不供的话，永远就这样，永远就这样！这一生固然如此，这一生你不供，我们又白白地浪费了宿生的善根，下一世更没机会了。反过来

【若纵微少，发起殷重，渐得上妙，应如此师行持修学。传说此师每配一次，须用二十二两金之香。】

说：反过来就算少，少虽然少，你供的时候心却是有信心，殷重心去，那个时候你渐渐就得到上妙，又应该像学这个朴穹瓦那样去。传说他配一次，要用二十两黄金的香。喔！现在这个经济发达，二十两黄金好像不太稀奇，那个时候是不得了的事情啊！你们看阿底峡尊者的传记没有？那全国国王的力量，集几十年的，集起来的多少，只有多少金子。那个时候他一次要供这么，为什么？他供了以后感得的。所以你只要真正去做，那个果报很快地现起。
