Ready to accumulate merits by just listening and rejoicing the legacy of our lineage masters? Yes! It is that simple.
叛變往往腥風血雨，死傷無數，一方縱勝，為求久安，常常也是將對方斬草除根、誅連九族。菩薩處事則不然，知無明惑，不使有情一毫有損，且看本集祖師傳。 「如果聽祖師、佛菩薩的傳記，能在內心中生起渴仰、生起隨喜的話，這樣的一分一秒的時光，我們會累積到不可思議的資糧！」–廣海明月・257講

依师 : 大乘善知识
Virtuous teacher Drom-don-ba said: “What is this Guru of Mahayana like? When the guru speaks, the students will be initiated with deep understanding.” It is not merely telling you: “this is the [knowledge] you need!” It is not like that! The Mahayana teacher is capable of resolving all sorts of issues, totally settling them. As for the recognition of the encompassing teachings – the capacity has to be proper quality, sufficient quantity, and perfect knowledge. Therefore, when you practice accordingly later, the systematic order will be unmistaken: what is the immediate benefit and what will the future ultimate effect be like? Thus, between cause and effect, it is totally flawless and the systematic sequence is completely in order. This should be considered as the true virtuous teacher.
那么这个善知识敦巴尊者就说：这个大乘佛法当中的师长，是什么样呢？他呀，那一位师长说的时候，能够发生无量知解。不是简简单单地就是告诉你：“就这个！”不是！他能够各方面问题都了解、都解决，对于认识——质正量圆，这么圆满的认识。那么然后你照着去修行的时候呢，他一定次第不误，眼前得到什么样的利益，将来究竟果位是如何，所以因果之间丝毫不差，次第步骤一点不乱，这个才是真正的善知识。
