親愛的法友:

攜伴和本寺堪布及喇嘛共修。

Ones perform the Tsok ceremony to generate immeasurable merit. Guru Rinpoche promised his Sangha that whatever is offered to him on his special day, the 10th day of the Tibetan calendar, the merit will be multiplied immeasurably. The numbers and intention of practitioners, Lamas and other sentient beings participating in the Tsok, the abundance of offerings and the dedication to all sentient beings, all increase and multiply the prosperity and good karma to ourselves and to countless others. Therefore, the vast benefits of participation in Guru Rinpoche Day Tsok are truly difficult to imagine.
When we share in the wonderful and delicious feast at the end of the ceremony, we should try to be mindful and feel true compassion for all those beings who in some way had something to do with the food we are eating, whether the countless insects that were killed in the growing and harvesting of vegetables and grains, or the persons working in the meat industry who have created for themselves the extremely negative karma of taking lives every day as their means of livelihood. We should develop the faith that this powerful ceremony, through the blessings of Guru Rinpoche, can create miraculous positive changes for beings with even the worst karma imaginable.
蓮師薈供之功德利益
ㄧ般對蓮師的傳記沒有實際了解的人會說：蓮師從印度誕生到西藏再往生羅剎國去利益眾生了。然而事實是，每ㄧ尊佛出現時，蓮師即有一尊化現，依眾生的福緣來傳授密法，依不同根器而利益眾生。蓮師以不同的尊號在每ㄧ尊佛的淨土中化現，如釋迦牟尼佛時有蓮師三身、蓮師八變和其他四十種尊號等等。而蓮師也是阿彌陀佛的化身，我們祈請蓮師與祈請三世諸佛菩薩是ㄧ樣的、同得三世諸佛菩薩的加持。所以上師、本尊、空行一切都在蓮師的身、口、意中普遍地安住。蓮師說：「我於未來，月初初十，必會來加持，好好的升起信心及恭敬心來祈請，必獲得一切心想事任運成就」。因此每月初十舉行蓮師薈供祈福法會，是最為快速積聚福慧資糧的殊勝修法，有大成就者說過：「如果這輩子你能趕上ㄧ次殊勝的薈供，那下輩子你的吃穿將不會有任何問題」。薈供識具足四種事業－「息災、增益、懷攝、降伏」的殊勝修法。薈供更是密乘行者懺悔的一種殊勝方便法。無數供品敬奉壇城前，與會者皆悉成就不可數的薈供功德，圓滿六度波羅蜜，虔誠頂禮，享用薈供之甘露妙味，獲得無上加持。
