Fourth, accumulate great blessings. There is an immeasurable amount of great merit in taking refuge, "the blessing of refuge is colored, and the instruments of the Three Realms are still narrow", and knowing that the blessing of refuge is so great, it is natural to be able to take refuge sincerely.

1. Many lay people believe that refuge is only a formality, and that the practice of Buddhism focuses on substance, and thus mistakenly believe that refuge is not important. This understanding is one-sided and incorrect. 2. We usually say that refuge is just a formality, but in fact, the original meaning of this sentence is to tell

Everyday Master: Everyone wants to practice, but not everyone has the conditions to cultivate
If beginners do not understand how the virtues of the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are based on what the Buddha said and how to achieve them "from the shallow to the deep", they will not be able to talk about the "in-depth cultivation meaning" of "self-refuge in the Buddha" and "self-nature refuge".

5. Do not fall into the evil way.
Second, what should be stopped is to give up the loss and affliction of all sentient beings. This is particularly important, and we should stay away from happiness and preliminaries, as we should be disturbed and affectionate. It's easy to say, but it's actually not easy, "intentional" is one thing, "unintentional" is another, at least "intentional" must be discarded, "unintentional" is not easy, but if you take refuge and do it in the same way, you can avoid it. And what really matters is that the "intentional" disturbing and sentient beings should be renounced first, and the behavior is certainly not allowed, nor is the pleasure allowed.

Taking refuge is not a matter of joining in the fun, and the Venerable Master Xuanhua gave a compassionate teaching: If you have taken refuge, don't take refuge again, why? 1. Avoid the practice of right and wrong in Buddhism in order to take refuge in disciples, and everyone fights for interests, generates great hatred, and is incompatible. 2. The refuge

1. The most fundamental thing is not to take refuge in all the heavens. We don't seem to have violated it now, but if we actually look at it at a deeper level, it's very difficult to do that, because the scriptures tell us that we have to make offerings to the Three Jewels of Enlightenment in everything we do. But what do we ask for in everything we do? Ask for the powerful people in the world! So the day before yesterday, when we recited "Don't seek the Great Buddha and stop suffering," our problem is here. So what really matters when we encounter anything is that the disciples who take refuge in the Three Jewels make offerings to the Three Jewels of Enlightenment. However, it should be said that those in the world do not ignore it entirely, but can be used as a companion. But we're putting the cart before the horse! I still want to do it in the world, but I have to do it according to the law and reason. Fundamentally, praying for the Three Jewels has very special benefits. If we can do that, then we don't complain about the heavens and others, and we don't ask too much, so we have to pray for the Three Jewels first, and then follow the world. For example, if I want to find a lawyer in a lawsuit, then I should find a lawyer, and if I encounter a difficult dispute and need to find an important person in the local area, I should also go to find it, but after taking refuge in the Three Jewels, I will not use my brain, give him money, and beg him to help me do the other party. On the other hand, if others harm us, we should also do the same thing, because this is karma, and we can only pray. I also know that this is not easy to do, and in my own opinion, it is not good to be a monk, let alone you? But if we don't work hard, we will always have to talk about it, and it will be reduced to empty talk.

1. Respect the Buddha. We seem to be very respectful, but it's really hard to do, and we say, "Of course the Buddha is respectful, but there is no Buddha!" But when the Buddha actually comes, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to be respectful, at least not necessarily for the icons. Broadly speaking, we are told that no matter what it is, if it is good or bad, we should respect it as if we were respecting a master, so I made a wish that I hope everyone will do it. A few days ago, I saw a poster printed with a Buddha statue, we felt that there were too many posters, the previous practice was to burn them, this method is not good, I vowed to find a way to do it, and in the future, I saw the Buddha statue regardless of good or bad to be sincerely and respectfully offered. In this way, you will definitely say that there are so many places! For example, in your own home, at least there is an empty space! Speaking of which, I should be very grateful to all of you, I only teach you all day long, and I can't do it myself! The Buddha told us not only to teach you, but to tell you about my experience! So I vow to do it today, and I thought to myself, to prepare a big cardboard box full of another one, and when it was full, to make another one, and to make an offering in the cleanest place very respectfully. At present, I have to wipe it clean on the top of the cupboard in my room, which is for the Buddha temporarily, and in the future, if I have the ability, I should build a room for the Buddha, and you can also do it as you like. I used to tell you, "There are so many statues of great virtues that they are burned to ashes and thrown into the sea." Now I feel that it is inappropriate, if you sincerely and respectfully regard him as a Buddha, how can you burn him? As for what others do and don't care about them, we must at least do how to arouse that respect.
Fourth, whatever you do and whatever you need, you should make offerings to the Three Jewels of Enlightenment. It's something we don't do easily.

3. Being able to extinguish the karmic obstacles, the karmic obstacles that have been accumulated before are gradually reduced, or even completely eliminated. Why? After taking refuge, I naturally felt that I was already a disciple of the Three Jewels, and I wanted to do the same. On the one hand, there is great merit in taking refuge to deal with it, and on the other hand, there is no illegal action in the mind. Broadly speaking, the four forces of repentance, the first two forces destroy the current and the current is the opposite, and in fact, the refuge in the law is on top of this. The power of dependence is either reliance on the Three Jewels or reliance on developing bodhichitta. In other words, I want to save all sentient beings to become Buddhas, and if I start thinking about it, I will not only get great blessings, but also remove my previous sins. This refuge is something that everyone can realize that they should take advantage of, and that the defilements they encounter will disappear in the future, and this is the reason why I recommend that you abstain from sin.
