Auspicious and perfect! The Durva grass increases this life's lifespan, the immortal vajra life is perfectly accomplished, cutting off the root of suffering and death, may auspiciousness also make this life stable. The red lychee has the nature of power, all dharmas become one's own, may the rule of Dharma be extremely stable, may auspiciousness also make Dharma and governance stable. The conch is the way to proclaim the sound of Dharma, becoming the supreme master of the ocean of merit, may one enjoy the pure Dharma without hindrance, may auspiciousness also obtain the power of speech.

The bilva is the Dharma with causes, conditions, and results, all actions of the mundane and supramundane, may it become the supreme Bodhicitta, may auspiciousness be obtained by beings. Thus, the sixteen supreme powers are bestowed completely, and afterwards, one also bathes and drinks with vase water. As it is said, one bathes and drinks again with the water of victory. The root is: Then, for the four ways, the Mahayana refuge precepts, guarding the vows of empowerment, the eight obstacles, the supreme empowerment, the sixteen powers. The deity is the Lord of Secrets, the heart mantra is ནཱི་ལཾ་བྷ་ར་དྷ་ར་（Tibetan, Sanskrit Devanagari: नीलम्भर धर, Sanskrit Romanization: nīlaṃbhara dhara, Chinese literal meaning: blue sky holder）. As it is said, the detailed explanation of these meanings is: Among them, there are four meanings, the first is the Mahayana refuge precepts. Generally speaking, it is extensively explained in all sutras, tantras, and treatises, which is inconceivable, but here, combined with the teachings of the lineage lamas, it is timely and has great blessings. Therefore, the ritual text of the wise and accomplished Gelong Ban Sonam Gonpo, which appeared in the old text, is recorded without change as follows: Taking refuge is shown with six meanings, namely, the object of refuge, and by what one takes refuge, how the method or means is, including the actual classification, the faults or sins of not taking refuge, and taking refuge.
Chinese
这是（皈依）的功德。其中，首先是皈依的对象：皈依的处所是三宝，即佛法僧三宝；皈依的对象是遍知一切的佛陀、菩萨们、寂静与忿怒本尊众、本尊坛城众、根本上师与传承上师等具德上师们、天神与空行母持明者，以及持明者等，这些是皈依的处所。第二，以何种人皈依呢？作为所依的补特伽罗，应具备信心、恭敬心和虔诚心这三种品质，忆念皈依处所的功德，渴望获得无上菩提，并且畏惧三恶道的痛苦，这样的人才能皈依。那么，以何种方式或方法皈依呢？具备三种认识的人必须通过具备四种法的途径来皈依。这四种法是什么呢？即：具备信心；对业和业果心怀敬畏；相信业因果的法则；时常依止上师并对上师恭敬；对上师所教导的法不抱有怀疑。正如《宝积经》中所说：以信心为先导，如母亲般生起（菩提心），是生起一切善根之处。不被邪见所动摇，恒常坚持，善之殊胜源于坚定的信念。依止精通大乘意义的上师，对所说之义不生疑惑，如此，便能非常接近善逝的清净刹土。如是宣说。如果从正行或分类的角度来说，有三种意义：应断之法、应取之法和真实仪轨。首先，应断之法是：皈依佛之后，不再皈依世间的自在天神，这是应断的。皈依法之后，断除对一切众生有害之心，生起利益众生的心，断除损害之心。皈依僧之后，应当断除不信因果者、外道徒以及心怀恶意者。如果不具备这些品质，并且没有断除这些行为，那么会有什么过失或罪过呢？即：不会被纳入内道佛教徒之列，不会得到佛、菩萨、持明者和持明者的加持。

These are the merits of (taking refuge). Among them, firstly, what to take refuge in: The objects of refuge are the Three Jewels, namely the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha; the Buddhas who know all things; the Bodhisattvas; the peaceful and wrathful deities; the deities of the Yidam mandala; the glorious and venerable root and lineage Lamas; the deities, Dakinis, Vidyadharas, and those who hold knowledge, these are the objects of refuge. Secondly, who takes refuge? The individual who relies on refuge should possess three qualities: faith, respect, and devotion. They should remember the qualities of the objects of refuge, desire to attain unsurpassed Bodhi, and fear the suffering of the three lower realms. Such individuals are the ones who take refuge. So, how or by what method does one take refuge? An individual with three kinds of awareness must take refuge through the path of possessing four dharmas. What are these four dharmas? They are: possessing faith; having reverence for karma and its results; believing in the law of cause and effect; always relying on the Lama and respecting the Lama; and not doubting the teachings of the Lama. As it is said in the Sutra Pitaka: Generating faith as a precursor, like a mother, is the place where all roots of virtue are generated. Not being swayed by wrong views, always persevering, the supreme of virtue arises from the power of firm belief. Relying on a Lama who is skilled in the meaning of the Great Vehicle, and not doubting the meaning of what is said, in this way, one is very close to the pure land of the Sugatas. Thus it is said. If considered from the perspective of the main practice or classification, there are three meanings: what should be abandoned, what should be adopted, and the actual ritual. Firstly, what should be abandoned is: having taken refuge in the Buddha, one should not take refuge in worldly autonomous deities; this is what should be abandoned. Having taken refuge in the Dharma, one should abandon the mind of harming all sentient beings, generate the mind of benefiting beings, and abandon the mind of harming. Having taken refuge in the Sangha, one should abandon those who do not believe in cause and effect, the Tirthikas, and those with malicious intent. If one does not possess these qualities and does not abandon these actions, what faults or transgressions will there be? Namely, one will not be included among the inner Buddhist followers, and one will not be blessed by the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vidyadharas, and those who hold knowledge.

应当时常忆念那些应舍弃之物，因为它们会导致戒律和誓言失去基础，今生愿望无法实现，最终轮回成为痛苦之源。第二，关于应取之物，分为共同应取之物和特殊应取之物。首先，无论何时，无论做什么事，无论发生什么疾病和痛苦等因缘，无论去往何方，甚至吃一口食物，都要忆念三宝的功德。特别区分的应取之物是，皈依佛后，对于作为供养之物而建造的、铸造的、雕刻的和绘制的等一切身语意的所依，都要信奉和恭敬。皈依法后，对于经卷和书籍等，以及经部和律部等一切，都要信奉和恭敬。皈依僧后，对于比丘、居士、出家者和梵行者等一切，都要信奉和恭敬。如此恭敬三宝的原因是，《幻化支分》中说：“舍弃三宝，行持梵行亦无功德。”又说：“虽有诸戒律，未皈依者无。”因此，应时常忆念这些应取之物。与这些相符之人，应当进入真实的皈依仪轨，分为外皈依、内皈依、密皈依和究竟实相皈依四种。首先，外皈依是三宝救护一切有情众生。如《宝积经》中说：“无如佛陀之导师，无法如同之救护，无如僧众之福田，故当亲近此三者。”又说：“佛陀、正法、僧伽，无上之三宝，我等供养为众生之导师，恒常恭敬顶礼之。”因此，应当学习的是，在前方虚空中，珍宝

One should always remember those things to be abandoned, because they will cause the vows and commitments to lose their foundation, wishes in this life will not be fulfilled, and ultimately samsara will become a source of suffering. Secondly, regarding what should be adopted, there are two types: common things to be adopted and special things to be adopted. First, no matter when, no matter what one does, no matter what causes such as illness and suffering occur, no matter where one goes, even when taking a single bite of food, one should remember the qualities of the Three Jewels. The specially distinguished things to be adopted are: having taken refuge in the Buddha, one should have faith and respect for all supports of body, speech, and mind, such as those built, cast, sculpted, and painted as objects of offering. Having taken refuge in the Dharma, one should have faith and respect for all scriptures and books, as well as the Sutra Pitaka and Vinaya Pitaka, etc. Having taken refuge in the Sangha, one should have faith and respect for all such as monks, lay practitioners, renunciates, and those who practice celibacy. The reason for respecting these Three Jewels in this way is that in the 'Branch of Magical Illusion' it says, 'Abandoning the Three Jewels, practicing celibacy becomes without merit.' And also, 'Although all vows exist, they do not exist for those who have not taken refuge.' Therefore, one should always remember these things to be adopted. A person who possesses these should enter into the actual ritual of taking refuge, which is divided into four types: outer refuge, inner refuge, secret refuge, and ultimate refuge in reality itself. First, outer refuge is that the Three Jewels protect all sentient beings. As it says in the 'Stacked Chamber Sutra', 'There is no teacher like the Buddha, there is no protector like the Dharma, there is no field like the Sangha, therefore, one should attend to these three.' And also, 'Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, the unsurpassed Three Jewels, we offer as the guide for beings, and always respectfully prostrate to them.' Therefore, what should be learned is that in the sky in front, the precious
