【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Thirty Five Buddhas Repentance Ritual 三十佛忏仪轨
【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Thirty Five Buddhas Repentance Ritual
Lama Tsong Kha Pa learned in the same way in his days. For someone of his stature, so magnificent, but the first step in his cultivation was to confess. After one truly confesses and clears the sins away, there will be signs of sins cleared away. There will be all sorts of signs. He actually saw the thirty-five Buddhas. But when he saw the thirty-five Buddhas, they did not have heads. That was strange! How come there were no heads? So, he asked.Since he saw them, he was told, "Your ritual is not complete. You are missing a portion." He went to consult for advice and his chosen deity told him, "There are somethings which you do not have, just need to complete it and it will be right."
The so-called ritual, when we look at it, it seems like something that you just read through. Actually, what does the ritual do essentially? If we use a common way to express it, let's take the car for example. What part of the car can be compared to the ritual? The tires are this way, the body of the car is this way, and the door is like this and so on. May I ask you then, if the car has no door, no bodyand no tires, would you be able to drive it? You can't drive it. It won't work if any of that goes missing. Therefore, when the ritual is not complete, the main body of the content is still there, much like for the car, there is an engine where the driver can sit on top of. But I'm sorry.You can't carry anything or anyone else! So after Lama Tsong Kha Pa changed it, it became complete. This is why I chose to use this ritual book.

业果 : 三十佛忏仪轨
宗喀巴大师当年他也是，修学都是这样，以他这样的老人家，这么了不起，他修行第一步就忏悔。那么忏悔干净了以后呢有净罪相，到那时种种感应，欸，他亲见那个三十五佛。结果见了三十五佛的时候，那三十五佛没头，欸，奇怪！怎么没头？那么他就问，因为见到了，然后呢就告诉他，说你那个仪轨不完整，有一部分缺少。后来他去请教，然后呢那个本尊告诉他，现在还有什么地方你不够，补足了就对。
所谓仪轨，平常我们看起来，就像那个说一遍。实际上那个仪轨就是什么？说，拿我们普通一点话来讲的话，譬如那个汽车，汽车的什么叫仪轨？这个轮胎是这样子的，那个车身这个样，门是这个样……。请问：如果那个汽车没有门、没有车身、没有轮胎，你能开得动吗？你不能开，哪一部分少了就不行。所以它仪轨不完整，那个内容是有的，就像那汽车子是一样，它那个引擎是有的，那个驾驶的人坐在上面，可是对不起，不能载东西，也不能载客呀！那么经过宗喀巴大师这么一改革，那么这个就完整了，所以我所以采用这个法本的原因。
