【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- From taking refuge, we attain purity

The first one is the merits obtained when you go for refuge. That is our collection of merit. Based on this collection of merit, your virtuous roots can increase, you contemplate accordingly [to the Dharma], and when you act accordingly; if you can do this at many places, your mind will accord. What is a correct concordance? Ah! That is, you no longer concord with afflictions. Therefore, at this time, you will absolutely not create more bad karma and will increase virtuous karma. This is in the beginning where what you do falls within the boundary of ethical discipline. Under this circumstance, your mind will naturally achieve concordance with ethical discipline and be able to tame the coarse and fierce afflictions. You will obtain the coolness from clearing away afflictions and achieve a shallow form of joy in your mind. From this you can delve deeper into concentration and wisdom to obtain liberation. Therefore, with these four things, there is a definite order.

皈依 : 由皈依获大清净

第一个，你皈依的时候得到的福，这个就是我们的资粮。然后呢你根据着这个资粮，然后你善根增长，如理思惟，能够跟着它去做的话，处处地方照着去做的话，你内心上面跟它相应了。相应的正确的内涵是什么？欸！那就是你不再跟烦恼相应，于是啊，这个时候的的确确不再造恶业、增长善业，这个是刚开始，属于戒学范围。所以这个情况之下，你的内心上面，自然可以得到戒相应的这种调伏粗猛烦恼，获得烦恼息灭的清凉，得到内心上面的浮浅的欢喜，由此深入定、慧而得解脱。所以这个四个，还有这样的一个必然的次第在。
