Yangthang Rinpoche 開示語錄(中英雙語)

小菩提

	Yangthang Rinpoche 開示語錄(中英雙語) On the basis of abandoning killing, if you can receive both of these two vows~no lying and no stealing~then you would be a lay Buddhist with three vows. On the top of this, if you are able to refrain from alcohol, when you are receiving refuge vow, you can think, “I am receiving four vows (no killing, no lying, no stealing, and no alcohol)”. But if you are unable to refrain from alcohol, it is fine if you don’t receive the vow of ‘no drinking alcohol’. It is not like you must receive this vow. But to receive the first three vows is recommended. Don’t you think receiving just one vow is too little? ～Yangthang Rinpoche 在不殺生的基礎上，如果再加上“不妄語”和“不偷盜”，則是俱有三戒的居士．如果你能夠守護“不喝酒”這條戒的話，你可以在皈依戒時想說：“我要守持以上四種戒”．如此一來你就會成為俱有四戒的居士．但是前提是你覺得自己有能力守持，如果你由於無法夠承諾不喝酒，而不受酒戒，這也是可以的，沒有規定你非受不可．不過，至少該受三戒吧？只受一條戒太少了對吧？ ～揚唐仁波切 Yangthang Rinpoche's Followers https://www.facebook.com/domangyangthang?fref=nf

	There are many different types of lay practitioner’s refuge vows: the lay practitioner with one vow, two vows, three vows, complete vows, and so on. Therefore, when you are receiving refuge vow, you should know which kind of lay practitioner’s refuge vow you want to receive. For example, if you want to be a lay practitioner with one vow, the vow would be abandoning killing. It is impossible to be a lay Buddhist without taking the vow of abandoning killing. ～Yangthang Rinpoche 三皈居士戒有很多種，像是一戒居士戒，二戒居士戒，三戒居士戒，或是圓滿居士戒等等．所以各位在受皈依戒時，要自己知道自己想要受哪一項居士戒．如果僅僅只想要守持“不殺生”這條戒，那就是一戒居士，想要受居士戒，不可能不放棄殺生． ～揚唐仁波切 Yangthang Rinpoche's Followers https://www.facebook.com/domangyangthang?fref=nf

	Refuge vow is the root of all dharma. One can not practice any dharma without having refuge vow first. Without refuge vow, one is not allowed to receive the vows of individual liberation, such as vows of fully-ordained monks (Gelong) or novice monks (Getsul). Without having refuge vow, one is not allowed to enter the tantric path. Without refuge vow, one cannot receive the transmission of Great Perfection either. Before we proceed to practice any dharma, we need to receive refuge vow first. ～Yangthang Rinpoche 皈依戒是一切佛法的根本．想要修持任何法門，不能沒有皈依戒．如果沒有皈依戒，就不能夠受別解脫戒中的比丘戒或沙彌戒，也不能夠進入密乘之道．也不能夠求得大圓滿的教法．在修持這一切法門之前，都必須先受皈依戒． ～揚唐仁波切 Yangthang Rinpoche's Followers https://www.facebook.com/domangyangthang?fref=nf
