【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Maintain your refuge and do not forsake the three jewels, even in jest or if it costs you your life

【(f) Maintain your refuge and do not forsake the three jewels, even in jest or if it costs you your life】

When you truly have gone for refuge, you will uphold it in jest, the least, but in the most serious case, even if it cost you your life do not forsake it. It is so refuge, therefore, if you can maintain your refuge, you will naturally be able to uphold precept, and others. Thus, as long as you can accomplish this fundamental, you will be able to accomplish all those mentioned above. The fact now is that we do not have the fundamentals down. So, there are many people now, oh, they hope to get the Bodhisattva vows and perhaps even the great initiation of Mantra. do not occupy yourself with that. Practice refuge well first, and when you are good at that, the rest will, easily, come one by one. You will naturally obtain them all.

皈依 : 乃至嬉笑，不舍三宝

【第六下至戏笑乃至命缘，应当守护不舍三宝者。】

真正皈依了以后，最起码的，哪怕笑、开玩笑；最严重的，哪怕送了命都要努力守护，就是守护这个皈依，绝对不弃舍。皈依尚且如此，所以下面你皈依做到了，下面持戒等等自然都做到。所以这个根本只要做到了，上面就都做得到。现在实际上呢，就是我们那个根本没有，所以现在有很多人啊，哎哟，希望要求个菩萨戒，乃至于要求个密宗的大灌顶。不要这么忙，你先把皈依做好了，你皈依做好了，下面一样一样东西都很容易，自然都会得到。
