或謂 領密乘皈依方得菩提種子
其實是否領得菩提種子
不在表相之分別宗乘 儀式法度
而是在於
傳皈依者是否具足菩提心行
領皈依者是否虔誠信受

一般領皈依者
難以長養菩提心行
皆因心中之世間考慮充斥
正似長滿野草之處
果苗無以出頭矣

真要修行
莫要管東管西
努力清除心地的雜草吧
自己的心地只有自己能理
莫怪他人
也不要期待可以有不勞而穫的奇蹟

Planting Bodhi Seed

 

Yutang Lin

 

 

Some said that only through taking Vajrayana Refuge
Could one receive the spiritual planting of Bodhi Seed
For substantial growth toward the enlightenment fruit

As a matter of spiritual reality, whether or not
One will receive the implanting of Bodhi Seed
Does not rest on superficial distinctions such as
           Which yana and which school
           What kind of ritual and to what extent observed
Rather it mainly rests on
Whether the conductor had sufficient Bodhi intentions and deeds
And whether the recipient was sincere and faithful in receiving it

Ordinarily people who take refuges
Could hardly cultivate Bodhi intentions and activities
All because of the abundance of worldly considerations in mind
It is similar to, at a place overgrown with weeds
Sprouts of fruitful seeds will have no chance to show up

If one is genuinely dedicated to Dharma practices
Then one should not mind this and mind that
Simply put efforts into clearing weeds on the mind field
One's mind field can only be managed by oneself
Don't blame others
Nor expect miracles of harvest without toils first
