【 Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels 皈依 】Year after year, the heavens gain years and people’s lifespan reduce 天增岁月人减寿

【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Year after year, the heavens gain years and people’s lifespan reduce

Then you can think, "Ah, this world, even though it is this happy and great on the surface level, but actually, ah! This is false. On the surface it may seem that year after year, the heavens gain years and people gain age but actually, the reality is that though heavens gained years, but people's lifespan is reducing. You can then go from the surface and delve deeper into the meaning of the phenomenon. Then after you reflect and analyze, the result you obtain will be: Ah! Now you need to go for refuge because this is the only place that you can rely on. If you can reflect as such, then you will discover what truth? You will feel: Ah! You have been fooled by the external objects and all sorts of sufferings arise from this.

皈依 : 天增岁月人减寿

这个世间哪，虽然表相上面看起来是那么快乐、这么好，实际上，唉！这个是虚假的。表相上面好像是一年又一年，天增岁月人增寿，可是实际上的内涵，天是增了岁月，人在减寿。你才能够从那个表相上面，进入这个事相的内涵去。然后你经过了这个思惟观察，得出来这个结果说：啊！现在你要皈依，这是唯一可靠之处。如果你能够这样思惟的话，那个时候你会发现一个什么事实？觉得：唉呀！以前都被这个外相所骗，所以种种的痛苦由此产生。
