祖古對弟子的開示
Khentrul Sonam Gyeltshen talks to disciples after prelimarary teaching:
這一陣子祖古花時間與弟子對談,希望多了解弟子在生活上及修法上的問題,並提出他的建議。祖古說弟子觀察上師三年,同樣的上師也會觀察弟子,以了解弟子修行的次第並給予適時的指導。由於每人的根器與果業不同,即使是大家同一梯次開始學習五加行,未來的修法結果與正行修行也會不同。所以祖古希望弟子能保握與上師對談問法的機會,是很重要的。
After the teaching, Khentrul would like to spend time to know each disciples and to understand their practice and issues. He said everyone has different karma and different mind level and it is important to know each disciples quality and provide them the in time teaching so they can follow the daily practice and making learning progress.
弟子問:自己之前有請過不同傳承的正行本尊,該如何結合五加行。
仁波切回答:須以五加行前行為主。因為前行是打好自己的房子地基,若地基不穩固,將來修任何本尊正行也無法達到好的加持效果。若已有持某些咒語,可繼續持誦,但把次數減少,重點放在五加行上。
Trulku said the prelimarary practice is like built a solid and good foundation for house. If the foundation is strong and we can build any shape of house. This is the most important steps for any practice.
弟子問:有時體力不好,無法拜108次,但別人都可以。
仁波切回答:每人情況及身體不同,不能比較,依自己能力及能持續每天做為考量。當自己體力更好時,再逐漸加次數。另外可選擇禮拜或大禮拜。
For the number and forms of prostration, it depends on people time and physical condition. The most important things is able to continuously do every day and no stop.
弟子問:我的工作很忙,事務多,為什麼我必須圓滿五加行。其他的修法不行嗎?
仁波切回答:五加行是自己修行的準備動作,也是房子的地基。修的法很多,但最後是達到佛性並使我們的心更堅強。而五加行是最好的方法也是最重要。第一加行為皈依懺悔自己累世的過錯,第二加行為發慈悲心。有人說這些道理都清楚,為何要唸十萬遍?祖古說這4句為證悟者所持的字語,弟子跟著持誦這4句字,即可得到語的加持力。第三加行金剛薩埵百字明咒清淨自己的身語意並去除5毒,接著第四加行獻曼達來累積自己的資糧福德能量等,第五加行上師相印,是能達到心意加持並證悟佛性。
The prelimarary practice is considered the most important practice. Any puja or practice we are doing is to try reaching our nature Buddha mind. And prelimarary practice is one of the most effective way of practice. By doing this, we can refuge and regrets our sins, we increase our mercy hearts, purify our 5 poison and clean ourself, then we offering madala to increase our luck, credit and energy, then we are ready to practice Guru yoga to hopefully reach nature Buddha mind one day.
弟子問:為何須要口傅
仁波切答:口傳有如從上師手中牽到多傑林巴傳承的線。當我們持咒時,會得到傅承上師,本尊,空行母及護法的加持。我們等於是在同一個家族裏的金剛師兄弟。
Why oral transmission? This is to pass on the Dorji Linpa lineage blessing to each disciples. Whenever disciples chanting those mantras, we will get bless from the Buddha, Gurus, Dakini and protectors as we are in the same society now.
弟子問:為何須要隨喜點燈
仁波切答:是祈請佛菩薩點亮自己心中的光明,點亮智慧,並祈請照明六眾生的光明,發慈悲心。
For light up candle and offering, it is to light up our mind and wisdom. Also we should also dedicate to all sentient being and wish they can get the lights from the dark. We need to always come up with our mercy hearts.
