修持上师所传之法是最根本的承事上师｜Practicing The Dharma Taught By The Master ...

大多数密乘弟子都知道承事、供养上师为积资净障最快的方法，所以大家都常常以财物供养上师。但大家却时常忽略法供养，其实真正的依止上师不是办个皈依证，打个卦，得个加持，而是修持上师所传之教法，皈依证有没有并不重要，甚至见不见上师也不重要，有没有供养钱财都不重要，重要的是修法，是修法。只有修持正法才能断除轮回，才是上师在轮回中等你的真正目的。

很多人喜欢跟着上师跑来跑去，这里朝拜一下，那里开个法会，这些都不是真正的依止上师。上师是干什么的，是释迦牟尼佛的传法者，所以你依止他是为了修他所传的教法，而不是东奔西跑，搞组织，搞集会。这些法世间已经够多了，如果真正想要出离轮回，这些冠冕堂皇的形式就不用在搞了。应该集中一切时间、精力去修行、修心，这样才能在最快的时间成办解脱。

你要记住，你学佛、皈依上师、修行最重要的是为了解脱，不是其他任何华丽的理由。记下这句话，就能减少很多走偏的借口。

Practicing The Dharma Taught By The Master Is The Most Fundamental Commitment To The Master

Most of the followers know that committing to the master is the quickest way to accumulate funds and clear obstacles, so they often offer money to the master. However, people often ignore offering by using dharmas. In fact, the real way to follow the master is not to obtain a conversion certificate, make a divination or get blessings, but to practice the teachings taught by the master. Only by practicing the dharma can we cut off the samsara, which is the true purpose of the master waiting for you in samsara.

Many people like to follow the master around, making a pilgrimage here or holding a dharma meeting there. That’s not truly following the masters. What does the master do? He is the preacher of sakyamuni Buddha. So, you follow him to practice his teachings, not to run around, join organizations or gatherings. There is enough of these in the world, and if someone really wants to get out of samsara, there is no need to engage in these superficial forms. We should use all the time and energy to concentrate on practicing and cultivating the heart, so we can free ourselves in the shortest time.

We have to remember that the most important reason for us to learn Buddhism, follow the master, and practice it is for liberation, not for any other fancy reasons. By memorizing this, you can eliminate a lot of excuses for getting sidetracked.
