◎ Three-wheel body empty dedication

In order for your dedication to become the cause of perfect enlightenment, you must also hold it with the unconditioned wisdom of the three-wheel body. Otherwise, if you are caught by the three-wheel body The defilement of the chakra is called poisonous dedication.

As the "Collection Sutra" says: "Just like eating delicacies rich in poisonous substances, the Buddha said that it is also the case due to white Dharma." Eating delicacies rich in poisonous substances will definitely cause great harm to you. And attachment is the poison in dedication. If you dedicate with attachment, it will harm your good roots. Therefore, when you dedicate yourself to the White Dharma, you must hold the three-wheel body empty.

If you do this to achieve the three rounds of no predestined relationship, it is the paramita of the transcendental world; if you have real persistence, it can only be regarded as the paramita of the world. For example, "The Treatise on Entering the Middle", after talking about the merits of a place, said: "The giver and the receiver give nothing, and giving is called transcendental paramitas. Due to the persistence of three rounds of birth, it is called worldly paramitas." It is not only giving, but also observing the precepts. , An Ren and so on.

So, what are the so-called three wheels? "The Deep Great Dedication Sutra" says: "There is no Dharma to dedicate to, and there is no Dharma to dedicate to, and there is no place to dedicate to. Bodhisattva and Mahasattva should regard it as Dedication, and when doing this Dedication, all three places will be pure." The three places are the three wheels: the person making the dedication, the good roots of the dedication, and the sentient beings to whom the dedication is directed.

We know that in famous sayings, these three do exist like dreams and illusions; but in ultimate meaning, their entities are empty.

This kind of dedication can replace the dedication of the empty three-wheel body. The Dharma King's wish-fulfilling treasure attaches great importance to this method of dedication. For us, this is also a very special convenience.

When reciting "The Samantabhadra Samantabhadra", if you really can't visualize the content of each verse, just think in your mind at the beginning: "How do the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas dedicate their lives to the lineage of the master and the Just as the saints of the past have dedicated their lives, I will do the same today." This shouldn't be difficult, we can definitely do it. If you do this, you can replace the empty three-wheeled body.

This trick actually comes from Buddhist scriptures. For example, "The Confessions of the Thirty-Five Buddhas" says: "How the Buddhas in the past have dedicated their lives, how the future Buddhas have dedicated their lives, and how the present Buddhas have dedicated their lives, I will do the same." It is also said in "Samantabhadra's Practical Vows": "Manjushri's courageous and wise conduct is also the same. Now I dedicate myself to all the good roots and follow him to practice."

For example, everyone is asked to turn a prayer wheel before and after class. At the beginning, many people forgot one day and the next, but now they are used to it and there is no difficulty. In the same way, if you make this kind of dedication become a habit, then at any time, as soon as you perfect your roots, you will dedicate it. Once you dedicate it, you will think of dedicating it like the guru and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and you will When you think of all sentient beings, you will think of Bodhi, but you will not think of yourself.
