密乘傳統教授


慈尊根本上師,出類拔萃,猶勝一切諸佛!弟子向您祈請!祈加持弟子盡一切生中,以大恭敬心依止具格上師尊。

了知如法依止一切功德之本的慈尊根本上師,是善樂的根本,弟子以大恭敬心依止您,即使犧牲生命亦不背捨!

思惟具格上師的重要,讓自己受其主控。

1.應如孝子,完全奉行上師的諭示,絲毫不爽。 (孝子心)
2.應如金剛杵,即使魔類、惡友離間自己與上師,永不分離。 (金剛心)
3.應如大地,負荷上師賦予的一切工作負擔。 (大地心)
4.應如山岳,依止上師而受苦受難時,內心毫不動搖。(不起煩惱、喪氣) (鐵圍山心)
5.應如王僕,即使必須執行一切艱困的任務,也不心煩。 (世間僕使心)
6.應如清道夫,棄絕慢心,視己較上師卑下。(除穢人心)
7.應如繩索,欣喜地繼承上師的志業,無論負擔多麼困難、沉重。(延續心/乘心)
8.應如家犬,即使上師譏評、激怒或忽視自己,永不回以瞋心。 (犬心)
9.應如舟船,隨時為上師往返而不起煩惱。 (船心)

具德珍貴的根本上師!乞加持弟子得以如是修行。從今以後,乃至盡未來世,願弟子能夠如此依止上師尊。

藉由口誦這些文字,並在內心省思其意義,盡未來世,你將會幸運地生生世世如法依止珍貴的上師。

如果能夠本著這九種心態承事、恭敬、供養珍貴的上師,即使不刻意修習,也會發展出許多美德,積集廣大資糧,乃至迅速成就圓滿佛果。

Long time ago a disciple requested that I wrote F1233 in calligraphy. It is a lengthy article, so I did not do it.
很久以前,一弟子要求我手書F1233檔案,由於文長,所以我一直都沒書寫。

Now I write the Nine Attitudes of Serving the Guru in titles only, and I chose to present them in clearer formulation.
現在我僅將事師九心的九種態度,以易於了解的標題形式將它們呈現出來。

Relevant files are attached.
關鍵檔案附呈。


May all beings attain Enlightenment soon!
願一切眾生早日成佛!

The Nine Attitudes of Devotion to Guru

A traditional teaching in Vajrayana

Translated from Chinese into English
By Dr. Yutang Lin

My compassionate Root Guru, most outstanding, even superior to all Buddhas! This disciple is supplicating to You; please bless me so that in all my lives I will take refuge with great reverence in Your Meritorious Holiness!

Fully understanding that abiding, in accordance with the Dharma, under the patronage of my compassionate Guru who is the root of all merits is the foundation of pure happiness, this disciple takes refuge in You with sincere reverence, and will not withdraw even at the cost of my life!

Contemplating over the importance of my meritorious Guru so as to yield complete control of myself over to my Guru's guidance.

The nine attitudes of devotion to the Guru:
1. That of a filial child. Like a filial child, one thoroughly carries out the instructions of the Guru without the slightest deviation.
2. That of a Vajra. Like a Vajra that cannot be split apart, even when facing division created by devils or bad associates, one will never split away from the Guru.
3. That of the Earth. Like the Earth carrying everything in the world, one shoulders all assignments ordered by the Guru.
4. That of the Iron Circle of Mountains. Like everlasting mountains, while abiding under the patronage of the Guru one endures hardships and sufferings without ever swaying in one's determination.
5. That of a servant. Like an obedient servant, even when one is obliged to carry out very difficult assignments one holds no grudges in one's heart.
6. That of a sweeper. Like a humble sweeper, one renounces self-pride and regards oneself as inferior to the Guru.
7. That of a rope. Like a continuous rope, one rejoices in carrying on the Dharma activities of the Guru, regardless of its degree of difficulty and heaviness of load.
8. That of a domestic dog. Like a loyal dog, even when the Guru ridicules, irritates or ignores one, one never responds with anger.
9. That of a boat. Like a ferry one goes back and forth on the Guru's assignments without any discontent.

My virtuous and precious Root Guru, please bless this disciple to be able to practice as described above! From this moment onward, throughout endless future lives, may this disciple be able to take refuge in Your Holiness in this way!

Through recitation of these words and inner reflection over their meanings, in all future times one will be fortunate enough to abide, in accordance with the Dharma, under the patronage of the precious Guru from life to life.

If one can, based on these nine attitudes, serve, venerate and make offerings to the precious Guru, then even without deliberate cultivation many virtuous merits will be developed, huge amounts of spiritual stocks will be accumulated, and even up to one's speedy attainment of perfect Buddhahood will be realized.
