Khenpo Dazhen: Three kinds of faith are the basis of conversion

Refuge has different levels of refuge, but the most basic common refuge in exoteric and esoteric Buddhism is to make up your mind: From now on, take the Buddha as the ultimate teacher, the Dharma as the ultimate path, and the monks as the ultimate fellow Taoists. These three kinds of determination are called the Three Refuges.In addition, "taking the master as the overall and ultimate protector of the Three Jewels" is four kinds of determination, called the Four Refuges.There is no big difference between the Three Refuges and the Four Refuges.Only by making these four vows in continuity can one obtain the precepts of refuge, truly take refuge in Buddhism, and obtain the merits and benefits of refuge.

As a teacher, the Buddha must listen to the Buddha's teachings and guidance.Buddhism is the way, which means treating Buddhism as the great way to liberation. If we want to be liberated and become a Buddha, we must study Buddhism and practice reasonably and in accordance with the law.Monks are fellow Taoists, monks are people with cultivation and proof. They are fellow Taoists, take them as examples, study and practice with them and make progress together.The master is the overall and ultimate protector of the Three Jewels. The great and mysterious Dharma is that it cannot be understood or realized without the master's secret techniques. It is necessary to understand and understand the truth of the Dharma through the master's inheritance and secret techniques.

The basis of refuge is three kinds of faith, and faith is the source of all merits and achievements.The greater the confidence, the greater the achievement;The greater the confidence, the greater the blessing.But faith is not superstition!There are three types of faith: pure faith, desire and superior faith.

Pure faith is a kind of joyful heart, a joyful heart for the merits of the guru and the Three Jewels;This joyful heart is not an ordinary joyful heart but a pure joyful heart.The impure heart of joy is called greed, and the pure heart of joy is called faith;Faith and greed are different.

To develop such faith, we must first understand Buddhism and the merits of the guru and the Three Jewels.The master and the Three Jewels have many unobstructed merits, such as: false compassion, vast wisdom, pure precepts, etc.Only when you understand Buddhism, understand Buddhist principles, and understand the merits of the guru and the Three Jewels can you develop a true joy.You like these merits without leakage, and you also like people with merit without leakage, and it is not ordinary likes, but very much. This is a motivation for practice, just like an engine.Nowadays, many people are not diligent in their practice and are lazy because they do not have an engine or the engine is faulty. Therefore, their practice is repeated, intermittent, and always has problems. This is because they lack confidence.True diligence is not a kind of compulsion or depression, but a kind of joy, an imperative, and a positive state, like a hungry yak eating grass, which is called confidence.

Desire and faith are not only liked, but also want to obtain these merits. They also want to become a great person like Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and this desire is very strong.

Faith in perfect understanding is a kind of faith that never regresses.The Buddha said, "What a wonder!Wonderful!All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtues of the Tathagata."Sentient beings have the heart of Buddha, and they can all become Buddhas.What is Buddha?If the merits are complete and the blessings are complete, it is the Buddha.Whether it is worldly or transcendental, all merits and blessings are learned and cultivated.Each of us has this instinct, and everyone can learn merits and cultivate blessings;Merits and blessings will become more and more complete as you learn, and in the end you will definitely be the most ultimate and perfect.If you understand the principles mentioned by the Buddha, you will know that you can become a Buddha as well. If you deeply believe it on the basis of understanding the principles, this is the faith of superior understanding.

Faith is born from understanding truth, and every word the Buddha said is the truth, the truth.The more you study, the more you will understand, and the deeper you will feel;When you have a deep understanding of the principles taught by the Buddha, and have a deep understanding and feeling, you will develop true faith.With these three faiths, you can truly study Buddhism seriously.The three kinds of faith mentioned by the Buddha are all faithful, not superstition.A letter is to understand and believe, not to believe in a confused manner.Many Buddhists are in a state of superstition and are practicing blindly, so they have no achievements or progress, which will not be of any benefit to their bodies, work, and family.
