聽法前的準備
謙虛
好學
除了恭敬心之外還要有懺悔的心
◎聽法要虔誠地來聽
我們平日修行積蓄正能量,正像手機要充電一樣,如果是漏電的手機,充電也沒用。又像瓶子如果沒有瓶底,是漏水的,也不能灌水進去。
所以聽經聞法也有這三個規矩的, 聽經聞法的時候,要把自己觀想成一個法器,就好像自己是一個瓶子來灌水的。 首先這個瓶子要保證是不漏的,所以聽法要虔誠地來聽。否則沒有恭敬心。就等於瓶子沒底一樣,裝不住水的。
第二,這個瓶子要保證是乾淨的, 要自己把自己先洗乾淨。因此,除了恭敬心之外還要有懺悔的心,所以我們懺悔業障很重要,保證這個瓶子是乾淨的。如果只是垃圾堆里撿一個髒的瓶子來, 水裝進去了,也不能喝。
第三,雖然瓶底不漏,瓶子也是乾淨的,但是瓶蓋要打開,瓶口要朝上, 水才能倒進去。否則瓶子雖不漏,也是乾淨的,但底朝上,口朝下,水是倒不進去的。這口朝上就代表謙虛、好學, 謙虛令人進步。

Our accumulation of positive energy through Dharma practice is like charging a mobile phone. If the battery of the mobile is leaking then it』s not going to last long even if it is fully charged. Likewise, if a vase has a hole, lling it is not possible.
Accordingly, when one is listening to the Dharma teaching, they should imagine they are a vessel for the Dharma, like one for water. There are three rules to observe. First is to make sure that the vessel does not leak, which means one should listen to the teachings with piety. Listening withoutpiety is like lling a leaky vessel with water. Second is to make sure the vessel is clean, which means one should purify their negative karma. Listening without a clean mind is like filling a dirty vessel with clean water, rendering the water undrinkable. Third is to make sure the vessel』s opening is facing upward, without any cover, which means one should listen carefully and be humble. Listening without humility and concentration is like filling an upside-down vessel. No water can get in the vessel even if the vessel is clean and does not leak.
迴向
文殊師利勇猛智
普賢慧行亦復然
我今迴向諸善根
隨彼一切常修學
三世諸佛所稱嘆
如是最勝諸大願
我今迴向諸善根
為得普賢殊勝行
賢劫千佛心 響崖大德知
現後中救我 脫輪到菩提
我今皈依十方一切諸佛世尊
已得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提
未轉無上法輪
欲捨報身入涅槃者
我皆至誠頂禮勸請
轉大法輪
雨大法雨
燃大法燈
照明理趣
施無礙法
莫般涅槃
久住於世
度脫安樂一切眾生
如前所說乃至無盡安樂
我今以此勸請功德
迴向阿耨多羅三藐三菩提
如過去未來現在諸大菩薩
勸請功德迴向菩提
我亦如是勸請功德迴向無上正等菩提
