The Benefits of Taking Refuge: Now, I will explain the benefits. Having seen that taking refuge in external deities like Ishvara leads to falling into lower realms, and that any other refuge deceives, one should have faith in the deity of great compassion. This protects from fear in all lifetimes. What could bring more benefit and happiness than that? Just by taking refuge in this way, one closes the door to the lower realms and establishes oneself in the great path of happiness and liberation in all lifetimes. This is an incomparable refuge. As stated in the Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish: "Whoever goes for refuge to the Buddha will not go to the lower realms. Having abandoned the human body, they will be born in the realm of the gods." Etc. The Benefit of Completing the Two Accumulations: The holy person who has taken refuge, their pure mind is the ground of faith, well-moistened by the rain of merit and wisdom, causing the sprout of Dharma-nature to grow greatly, thereby ripening the harvest of the Victorious One's perfections. On the ground of faith, the seed of essence grows through the rain of the two accumulations, ripening into the harvest of Buddhahood. As stated in the Nirvana Sutra: "Whoever goes for refuge to the Three Jewels, the supreme accumulation of merit and wisdom, the Dharma of the world's victors increases, and Buddhahood itself will be attained." Etc. The Benefit of Limitless Qualities: Furthermore, for the person who has taken refuge, their conduct is in accordance with the Dharma, they have virtue, shame, and embarrassment. They are mindful, have many qualities, and the clouds of dharani and the sun of wisdom arise in their minds. Even in dreams, they are inseparable, they see the deities, they remember past lives, and they are adorned with noble lineage and wealth. As it is said in the Sutra Requested by the Boy Ratnadatta: "Those who have gone for refuge to the Buddha, all their virtuous qualities increase. They have shame. They have embarrassment. Those who have gone for refuge to the Dharma are mindful. They have many qualities. They always remember past lives. They possess a share of the Dharma. Those who have gone for refuge to the Sangha, their minds are workable. They have many doors of samadhi and dharani. They always have a noble lineage. Even in dreams, they are inseparable from the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha." Etc. The White Side.

The benefits of being protected by the earth deity are: Furthermore, all beings rejoice, and the two benefits are naturally accomplished. Ultimately, oneself is also the protector of all sentient beings. As a friend, one holds the wealth of the three kayas. Those deities who delight in white happily protect and the roots of virtue increase. From that very text: Furthermore, the deities who are manifestly delighted in white protect.

That is, by going for refuge to the Buddha, one ultimately accomplishes Buddhahood. By going to the Dharma, one turns the wheel of Dharma. By going to the Sangha, one will gather a sea-like assembly of irreversible Sangha. The benefits of immeasurable are: To summarize the qualities, if the qualities of refuge had form, then the merit would be greater than the sky, boundless.

From the Sutra of the Noble Banner: Monks, whether you dwell in monasteries, cemeteries, empty wildernesses, etc., go for refuge to the Three Jewels, and those fears, sufferings, and terrors will not occur. Furthermore, all fears of demons and lower realms will not arise. From the Essence of the Sun Sutra: Whichever sentient being goes for refuge to the Buddha, countless demons cannot kill them, even if their discipline is weakened and their mind is confused, they will certainly go to the other shore of existence. In short, it protects from all unfavorable things such as afflictions, harms, the path of the Lesser Vehicle, samsara, and the lower realms, and it causes one to obtain all the benefits of higher realms and definite goodness. From the Ornament of the Sutras: Always from all the assemblies of afflictions and all misdeeds, and also from aging and death, the Buddha himself completely protects. From all harms and the lower realms, and non-places and destructible

在曼达中说:“为了救护,是救护的殊胜者。”如此。成为功德所依的利益是:如此,成为善妙功德之基础者,哪位智者不会依止于他呢?如此对于功德不可估量的救护,智者们理应依止。在《宝积经》中说:“智者们追随功德,以其力量,事情也圆满成就。”像这样的方式。遣除轮回和寂灭衰败的利益是:轮回和寂灭的一切衰败,消除罪过,寂静,是所有众生的亲友,以百倍的虔诚顶礼,三界福德的殊胜引导者,如意树,利益安乐的来源,我向他皈依。如此,在天神所居住的世间,最殊胜的怙主救护是三宝,因为他们是救护一切罪过并引导向寂静的导师。这些是福德的田地,如意宝,成为功德宝藏的殊胜者。在那里面说:“如此,这三宝在天神所居住的世间,是值得礼拜的,是值得合掌的,是成为殊胜福田的。”以及在《入行论》中说:“即使受到损害也能带来安乐,向安乐的来源皈依。”像这样的方式。在这里,即使在白天黑夜的六时,或者在进食或不进食的时候,也在面前的虚空中观想三宝,以意顶礼,供养,忏悔罪业,随喜福德,转法轮,祈请不入涅槃等等之后,忆念三宝的功德,心想我也为了利益众生而获得如此,合掌,像这样念诵“佛陀薄伽梵”等等,如《宝积经》和《月灯经》中所说的那样,忆念三宝,之后回向善根,罪业就会消除,善根就会增长,从而迅速成就菩提,并且在所有生世中都能获得不离三宝的果位。总义三。

It is said in Manda: "For the sake of protection, it is the supreme of refuge." Thus. The benefit of becoming the basis of merit is: Thus, who among the wise would not rely on the one who has become the basis of excellent qualities? Thus, the wise should rely on the refuge of immeasurable qualities. In the Ratnakuta Sutra, it says: "The wise follow merit, and by its power, things are also perfectly accomplished." In this way. The benefit of dispelling the decline of samsara and nirvana is: All the declines of samsara and nirvana, eliminating faults, peace, is the friend of all beings, prostrating with a hundredfold faith, the supreme guide of the three realms of merit, the wish-fulfilling tree, the source of benefit and happiness, I take refuge in him. Thus, in the world with gods, the supreme protector and refuge is the Three Jewels, because they are the guides who protect from all faults and lead to peace. These are the fields of merit, the wish-fulfilling jewel, the supreme treasure trove of qualities. In it, it says: "Thus, these Three Jewels in the world with gods are worthy of worship, worthy of joining palms, and have become supreme fields of merit." And in the Bodhicaryavatara, it says: "Even if harmed, it brings happiness, I take refuge in the source of happiness." In this way. Here, even at the six times of day and night, or when eating or not eating, visualize the Three Jewels in the sky in front, mentally prostrate, make offerings, confess sins, rejoice in merit, turn the wheel of Dharma, pray not to pass into nirvana, etc., and after that, remembering the qualities of the Three Jewels, thinking that I too may obtain such for the benefit of sentient beings, join palms, and recite "Buddha Bhagavan" etc., as stated in the Ratnakuta Sutra and the Candrapradipa Sutra, remembering the Three Jewels, and then dedicating the merit, sins will be eliminated and merit will increase, thereby quickly attaining enlightenment, and in all lifetimes one will obtain the fruit of not being separated from the Three Jewels. General meaning three.

Dedication: Now, I dedicate the merit for the sake of all sentient beings. Thus, by proclaiming the supreme qualities of great bliss, may beings be well-engaged in virtuous conduct, and may their weary minds, which rely on inferior and sinful places, find rest today. Having spoken thus, may the sound of the clouds of accumulated merit, arranged with well-composed words and meanings, cause all beings who have long relied on inferior places and whose minds are weary from the many gatherings of thousands of kinds of suffering in samsara, to rest in the supreme bliss of the Buddha, the Bhagavan. May the rain of the supreme Dharma, the nectar of peace, greatly increase the goodness and virtue in the minds of all beings, and may they always attain the state of the Victorious Ones, like wish-fulfilling clouds, and touch the supreme wisdom of liberation. In all the realms of the ten directions, may the Sugatas who rain down the Dharma, together with their sons, illuminate beings with the light of benefit and happiness, and may the three realms of suffering be emptied and become enlightened. In these blind worlds without guides, may the qualities of the Three Jewels be greatly proclaimed, may all be well-established on the path of liberation, and may all beings without exception attain Buddhahood. This concludes the commentary on the sixth chapter, the chapter on taking refuge, from the Great Perfection, Mind at Rest. Having thus taken refuge, the main practice of the Great Vehicle path is the generation of the supreme Bodhicitta, which has two aspects: aspiration and engagement. The seventh chapter is the chapter on the Four Immeasurables, which has ten sections: connecting and explaining the meditation on the Four Brahma-viharas, explaining the distinctions, the distinctions of the object of focus, the faults of an impure object of focus, truly explaining the object of focus, explaining the aspects, explaining the method of meditation, explaining another method of meditation, explaining the result of meditation, and dedicating the merit of this chapter. The first general meaning is connecting and explaining the meditation on the Four Brahma-viharas: Having thus taken refuge, one enters into the meditation on the Four Immeasurables, therefore, to explain that meaning. The way that has just been explained, thus, the individual who has taken refuge, on the ground of loving-kindness, scatters the flowers of compassion, the cool shade of joy, and the pure water of equanimity, and for the benefit of beings, tames one's own mind. Here, in the forest.
