白空行母拋下的一本書
前文「序」中提到，白空行母從虛空中，拋下一本書給我，我這一翻，大駭。
此書書名：《極機密下三惡道名冊》。
我翻了一翻。嚇得我手足無策。
White Tara threw a book down to me (GM) & I turn the page, got a big shock.
The book is entitled: Top secret name list of those descending to the 3 Lower Realms.
Turning the pages frightened me so much that I do not know what to do.
第一頁：
很多行者，從皈依金剛上師開始，皈依佛，皈依法，皈依僧，修習外法、內法、密法、密密法。他們對三寶保持不動的信心。向上師。向三寶。祈請及獻供。
這些都是修行所必須的。
Page 1: many cultivators, from taking refuge in vajra masters to Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, practicing external, internal, tantric, higher tantric dharma. They can maintain an immovable heart towards the Triple Gems. Towards vajra master & Triple Gems. Invocation & offerings. These are the requisites of a cultivator.
但是，他們忘了「持戒」是修行的根本。
因為沒有「持戒」，所以在「業緣」上，將墮落到三惡道中。
But they forget that abiding by the Doctrine is the basis of cultivation.
Because of failure to abide by Doctrine, therefore in their Karmic influence perspective, they will descent to the 3 lower realms.
這三惡道，就是：
「地獄」。
「餓鬼」。
「畜生」。
The 3 Lower Realms are Hell, Hungry Ghost, Beast.
在書中，例舉了一些「因」及一些「果」。
Within this book there are enumeration of the cause & effect or karmic incidents.
觸目驚心的是，有不少熟悉的姓名，出現在我的眼中，那是熟得不能再熟的名字。
Heart rending upon sight of many familiar names, those are extremely familiar names.
因此，我淚流滿面！
Thus tears flow copiously down my face!
這怎麼辦？這怎麼辦？這怎麼辦？
What to do here? What to do here? What to do here?
這些熟悉的弟子「墮入三惡道」，是墮落定了。
These familiar disciples/students descending to 3 lower realms, definitely without doubt.
如何挽救他們，答案是：「還淨法！」
How to save them, Answer is [Purification practice!]
什麼是「還淨法」？
What is [Purification practice]?
原來是懺悔自己所犯下的戒律，速速在諸尊面前求懺悔。
It is repenting all wrongs against the Doctrine, swiftly begging forgiveness & repenting to all Divinities.
向根本上師當面悔過。Repenting to Root Guru.
接著重新皈依及灌頂，誓願守五戒、八戒、菩薩戒、行十善法、發菩提心。
直至「懺相」出現。
Followed by taking refuge again with empowerment & vowing to abide by the 5 precepts, 8precepts, Boddhisattva precepts, execute the 10 charitable practice, make Boddhicitta wish.
Up till [repentant form] appears.
便可脫離了墮入「三惡道」的險地及歧途。
Only then the cultivator can escape descending to the dangerous & erroneous, 3 lower realms.
如果不如此：一定墮落三惡道，求出無期。
If do not do so: Definitely descend to the 3 lower realms & won't be able to escape.
我們學佛者明白：We cultivators should realize:
守五戒---人道。 Abide by 5 precepts --- Human realm.
行十善---天道。 Carrying out the 10 charitable deeds --- heaven realm.
守小乘戒---阿羅漢。Abiding Hinayan precepts --- arahat.
修十二因緣---緣覺。Cultivate the 12 affinities---Sangha
行六度---菩薩。 Practicing 6 path --- Boddhisattva
發大菩提心---佛。 Make Boddhicitta vows ---- Buddha
許許多多的佛菩薩示現各種不同的身貌與形飾，教導我們守著各種不同的誓戒，我們見地須「高」，但修由「戒」起。（也就是從最初的戒起修）
Many Divinities appear as a multitude of forms to teach us how to abide by the multitude of vows & Doctrine, although our views are [High], but cultivation begins with [Doctrine]. That is to say we start cultivation from the basic Doctrine.
佛陀示滅，留下最重要的一句話：「以戒為師」，這就是佛陀的旨意了。
無上正等正覺的佛陀，只將一個「戒」字留下，吾等信眾豈能不守？
Buddha left [Rely on Doctrine to be teacher], before he enters Nirvana. Therefore this is Buddha's instruction.
如果不守戒，能成就佛果，吾等不信。
If do not abide by Doctrine, can attain Buddhahood, we all don't believe.
書上明示：It is clearly stated in the book:
修習守戒，並且對何者應該避免，何者應該遵行，如此修行，才能在正法的軌道上。
Practice abiding by Doctrine, knowing what to avoid & what to abide, then can cultivate on the True Dharma Path.
守戒之力，無遠弗屆，捨棄不當的惡行，就是對治煩惱的法門，戮力守戒吧！
The strength of abiding by Doctrine, infinite, leaving behind bad deeds, is the path to eliminating problems/sufferings. So studiously abide by the Doctrine!
守戒崇高。
守戒清淨。
守戒功德。
如此修行才能得力。
Abiding Doctrine is respectful & dignified/ is clean & pure/ is meritorious.
Thus giving strength to cultivation.

Please refer to the previous article 13-7-2011 assignment 2.
The person I saw who has a vulture spirit in her is a fellow student.
On Saturday at the recent fire homa event in Caodun Temple, I was entertained by sighting of various spirits in fellow students including those on the stage.
Haha! yes! I am truly shocked & I use GM as a reference point to ascertain I am not hallucinating.
I remove my glasses & rub them clean & see again & again.
Yup! There are lots of interesting spirits present in various fellow students from all over & from all levels.
That's why I recall GM's Sword of Yogi & decided to share.
One of them has a very skull hugging face of a woman & the face is dark green or blackish green in color.
Another is that of a very melancholy dog, & another is a swollen face resembling a pig.
Haha! I am truly shocked because these are senior disciples.
Well, let us all pay attention to GM's teachings & do not veer off the Boddhi Path.
