敬信上师 ｜ Honorable Guru

波多瓦尊者于《蓝皮书》中云：“获得上师加持之大小不在于上师，而是观待自己......若于上师无有恭敬，即使依止佛陀亦无利益，故心无傲慢恭敬上师，至为重要。”欲求即生解脱者，一定要生起视师为佛之敬信，因总摄诸法之窍诀，唯尊上师为真佛，此乃摄聚窍诀之门。故大恩上师阿秋喇嘛仁波切曰：“观师为佛得佛的加持，观师为凡夫得凡夫的加持。”一位修行者纵然坐拥一切窍诀，然未能将窍诀纳入心相续之最大障碍即是藐视上师，未视上师为真佛。

《功德藏》云：“圆满德相之上师，诸佛智慧大悲体，所化前现士夫相，悉地之根即无上。

In the "Blue Book" the Venerable Bodova said: "Gaining how much blessing from gurus depends not on gurus, but in oneself. If having no respect, one cannot get benefit even if relying on the Buddha, so it is important to be respectful and not arrogant. Those who want to be free must have respect and belief in gurus, as to the Buddha. Since the guru is the master of all dharma pith, the guru is the true Buddha. The guru is the gate of learning the dharma pith.

Therefore, Da Ren’s master, Aqiu Lama Rinpoche said:“You’ll get Buddha’s blessing if you take the guru as the Buddha, or you’ll get an ordinary person blessing if you take the guru as an ordinary person.” One of the biggest obstacles of a practitioner to incorporate all principles into continuum, even though he has them all, is his contempt for the guru and failure to regard him as the true Buddha.

"Gongdezang" says: “The master who fulfills all aspects of virtues is the embodiment of wisdom and great compassion of all Buddhas. They show as normal people but for the benefit of all living beings.”
