【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Offerings to non-perceived objects will bring even more merits 不现前供养功德更大

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- offerings to non-perceived objects will bring even more merits

For the offerings, does everyone remember this?  The "attitude" is the most important, right?  Does everyone remember? If you can make an offering with the six types of attitudes, then even with a very small offering, you will develop very great merits.  Therefore, all that we covered earlier are the most important fundamentals. If you do not learn well of the materials earlier, you will not be able to apply what we learn later. Does everyone understand?  If you have learned the earlier parts well, by this time the effects are immediately shown.   Hence how can one not succeed in his cultivation? And we would sometimes say that the Buddha is not present.  He told this to us very clearly earlier, very clearly! Though offerings to perceived objects will bring a vast store of merits, but offerings to nonperceived objects will bring even more merits!  Non-perceived means that the Buddha is not present. But if you truly offer in a way that accords with the teaching, this will bring even more merits when the Buddha is not present! This is on offering.

业果 : 不现前供养功德更大

那么这个微妙供养当中，大家还记得吧？这个“意念”最重要，对吧？大家还记得吧？如果你能够拿六种意乐去供养的话，那你小小的供养，就产生很大的功德。所以前面这个都是最重要的基本，你前面不好好学，到后面这些东西就派不上用场，大家了解吗？如果你前面学得很好的，到那时候马上现起功效来，所以哪有修不成功的道理？然后呢我们说佛不在，他前面告诉我们清楚的、非常清楚嘛！现前供养固然大，不现前功德更大啊！现在是不现前，说不是因为佛不在，佛不在你真正地如法供养的功德更大！（六种意乐是：一、无上大功德田；二、无上大恩德田；三、一切有情中尊；四、犹如邬昙妙华极难值遇；五、三千大千世界独一出现；六、一切世出世间圆满根本。）
