堪祖蘇南給稱仁波切與弟子對話
Khentrul Sonam Gyeltshen talking with disciple:
弟子問：自己受菩薩戒，深怕犯戒但又不記得每條戒律，很擔心。
仁波切答：菩薩戒最重要的是利他人的慈悲心。只要隨時身語意有如此的發心，這是菩薩戒的重點，弟子得掌握這一個重點，而不是時時擔心自己會犯了那條戒律。
而利他的發心，不是思想而已，必須有行動，身體力行才可以。
Disciple asked: I have taken Buddhism vow and worry myself not following vow carefully and broke some vow contents. What should I do?
Renpoche replied: you don’t need to review and check every vow details. We are human being and we often make mistakes. The most important is to keep in mind – always thinking of doing benefits for others and always helping others. The kind mercy hearts is most important. This vow is not only by thought only. We need to actually do it and execute this all the time.
弟子問：自己唸了很多金剛薩埵咒，但沒做大禮拜，次數可以累計嗎？
仁波切答：你自己可以選擇。是想把自己修行的前行地基打穩固重要呢？還是不管地基穩不穩固？自己決定。
Disciple asked: I have not started prostration but have started Vajrasattva for over 40,000 times. Can I count those chanting in my perlimary practice?
Renpoche replied: It is your own decision. If you want to have a good foundation base for your life time Buddhism practice, the prelimarary practice is very important and you need to follow the proper steps.
弟子問：修何種法可確保自己能解脫到浄土呢？蓮師淨土還是阿彌陀佛淨土？
仁波切答：若你對蓮師及密宗修法有十足的信心，那蓮師淨土是較容易達到。若沒有十足信心，那阿彌陀佛淨土是適合每個人的。
Disciple asked: what sort of Buddha pureland I can more easily reach in my life time?
Renpoche replied: if you have strong faith to padmasambhava and it is easier for people to reach his pure land. But if you don’t have strong faith and practice, you better stick with your Amitaba practice as everyone can practice Amitaba practice.
