信心圆满即为大圆满｜Fulfillment of confidence is great fullness

真正的信心乃自性之流露，故清净、普遍、平等，不随对境变化而动摇。但对于初学者来说因无有修证之道验，故信心往往建立于意识之上，难免偏袒。但对于密乘行者而言，决定修行快慢的关键因素乃行道者之根机，而根机之利钝则取决于信心之强弱。信心即为根机，信心坚定者即为上等根机。《根本续》云：“修学密宗者，首具大信心。”

往昔印度有一位奇丑无比的“金刚”公主，连身为国王的父亲宴请释迦牟尼佛时都羞于带她出来见人。这位公主于惭愧中以坚定而至诚的信心祈祷释迦牟尼佛，佛陀当即现前赐予加持，公主转眼间变得美若天仙。当公主出现在释迦牟尼佛及国王等众人面前时，举座四惊。

有人疑惑：我对上师也有极大的信心，且修行精进，但为何没有那么灵验，世出世间法均未得明显增上。然若不自欺、不欺人的自省，你的信心是否坚定不移，是否有偏袒?若信心不坚定，或有偏袒均为不圆满，也得不到圆满的加持。

故信心乃解脱唯一不可缺少的力量，大家当忏悔业障，祈祷上师，清净内心，渐趋圆满无有偏袒之大平等信心。

Fulfillment of confidence is great fullness

True confidence is the expression of self-nature, so it is pure, universal and equal, and does not waver with the change of circumstances. However, because they have no experience of conviction bypracticing for beginners, so their confidence is often built on consciousness, thus bias is unavoidable. However, for Tantra practitioners, the key factor determining the speed of practice is their powers and faculties, while the sharpness or dullness of the powers and faculties depends on the strength of confidence. Confidence is powers and faculties, and the one with firm confidence is the superior powers and faculties. <The fundamental continuation> said: ‘Tantra practitioners, firstly should have great confidence.’

Once upon a time, there was a super ugly ‘King Kong’ princess in India, even her father ,the king was shamed to let her out to meet people when he entertained Sakyamuni Buddha at a baquet. The princess prayed to Sakyamuni Buddha with firm and sincere faith shamefully. Immediately the Buddha empowered the princess with blessing and the princess became beautiful as a fairy in a flash. When the princess appeared in front of Sakyamuni Buddha, the king and their followers, all the people were surprised.

Some people wonder: I have great confidence in the Master, and have practiced with diligence, but why not so effective, no significant increase in both mundane knowledge and transmundane Dharma. However, if you do the introspection without deceiving yourself or others, has your confidence really wavered or not, biased or not? If your confidence has wavered or biased, it is not perfect in both cases ,and it will not get perfect blessing.

Therefore, confidence is the only indispensable power for liberation, we should confess our past evil karma which hinders the attainment of bodhi, pray to our master, purify our inner hearts, and gradually fulfill great equal confidence without bias.
