咒語 5 Mantra 5

純粹從修行角度來看，既然修行要成就也得累積不可數的資糧，一大群人真心向上集結而成的福報共業，一樣具有抵制黑暗力量的效果，這個方法比咒語、手印、更見陽光、積極、只是人群大都有盲點，不能認識自己生而為人所努力產生的一切善行為，同樣具有威力。

If we look at it purely from the angle of Practice, the amount of capital that is required to have any accomplishment in Practice is uncountable. The collected good karma from a group of people who are truly focused to improve also create powers to defend against the power of darkness. This method is even better than mantras and mudras. It is positive. The problem is that people all have a blind spot. People cannot see the virtuous efforts put forth by a person, have the same power as mantras.

就藏傳密宗而言，達賴喇嘛一直想廢除密宗存在的一些無形世界，他也坦言那是民族性不容易做到，如果佛學的教育， 能讓普羅大眾清楚人性光明面的價值，那才算是成功，佛經裡的一大教育，就是強調人身的尊貴，其他動物都無法有邏輯思考，唯有人可以完全被教育，再憑藉思維攀登精神世界的高峰，人的角色不該消失不見，反而被一大堆儀式取代，沒錯! 人也是很脆弱的，需要儀式的幫助，但人也可以從依賴裡再次重生，重新看待自我的價值。

For Tibetan Buddhism, Dalai Lama has always tried to eliminate the existences of invisible worlds of Tibetan Buddhism. But he was clear that it is difficult to do based on culture. The success of a teaching of Buddhism can only be judged on its effects to let people understand the value of the "Light Side". The biggest teaching of Buddhism is the importance of 'being human'. We have logical reasoning facilities that other animals do not have. Only human beings can be educated, and then use reasons to summit the peak of the world of human spirits. The role of people should not disappear to be replaced by rituals and ceremonies. Sure, people are weak, and need the support of rituals. But people can also be reborn from dependencies, and revisit the value of themselves.
