[師父法語] 2018/12/8

◎記得早晨起床，就是皈依，至誠懇切地念三遍。假如家裡有佛堂，跪在佛前，否則坐著連念三聲，而後心中思惟、發願，暇滿人身難得，我得到了，難道就這樣為世間虛名假利而空忙，而沉淪痛苦嗎？今天有幸遇見佛法，認識世間的安樂都是無常，都是虛幻，我千萬別再為他欺誑，我要一心效學佛法，學習廣論。同學還要加上一個願：努力學習殊勝圓滿的宗大師教法，並且隨分隨力弘揚，祈求佛菩薩加持我們。早晨如此皈依，那麼一整天有一個行事的準則，不再茫茫然，無所適從，甚至於造了惡業，都不知道。【日常師父法語】

Remember to take refuge in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha and say it three times as soon as you wake up in the morning. If you have a hall of worship at home, kneel down in front of the Buddha. Otherwise you can sit down and say your refuge three times. Then you think and vow: now I obtain the precious human form of leisure, could I just stay busy with the unrealistic, earthly fame and gain and indulge myself in suffering? Now I am so fortunate as to meet the Buddha Dharma, and thus I realize all worldly happiness is impermanent and illusory. I should no longer be deceived, and I will devote myself to Buddhist learning and Lamrim. Our fellow learners should add one more wish: we should make efforts learning the superior and perfect teaching of Master Tsongkhapa, promote His teaching according to our ability, and pray for the assistance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. If we take such refuge in the morning, there will be a standard of our behavior for the whole day. We are no longer at a loss, or even unaware when engaging in negative activities.  – Master Jih Chang
