【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- A method for easily amassing a large accumulation of merit

Well then there is a point here now, this point is that we would normally say, “Ah, we understand the principle stated but when we do it, try to visualise it or something, it seems rather inconvenient.” However, what is stated below is something we can do at any place, at any time, something we can do readily in our daily lives. If you can understand the principle behind it and do it, then you will be able to accumulate vast merits. What does the section below say?

【Furthermore, since you constantly have to eat and drink, always offer the first portion of your food and drink. [151] 】 

Since we constantly will eat and drink, we drink water, tea, any beverages and even meals.

【If you do this without fail, you will easily amass a large accumulation of merit. 】

There! If you can offer before you eat and drink and “do this without fail” genuinely and constantly, then without much effort you will be able to amass vast merits.

皈依 : 少力而能圆满众多资粮的方法

下面这一点就是我们平常啊，我们说：哎呀，上面这个道理是懂，但是做起来好像，或者要去观想，或者什么等等，有不大方便。而下面有一点却是我们随时随地，日常生活当中处处可行的，如果你把这个道理能够认识做到了以后，那就可以得到广大的资粮。下面说的什么啊？

【复次恒须受饮食故，】

因为我们经常要饮食，喝水、喝茶、喝一切饮料，乃至于吃饭等等。

【尔时若能首先供养无间缺者，少用功力，而能圆满众多资粮，】

喏！你能够以这个饮食之前先去供养，然后“无间缺”，一直能够这样认真去做的话，不要花大的努力，你就能广集圆满资粮。
