Three noble principles (Tib. དམ་པ་གསུམ་, dampa sum; Wyl. dam pa gsum) — there are three things that make all the difference between your practice being merely a way of bringing temporary relaxation, peace, and bliss, or of becoming a powerful cause for your enlightenment and the enlightenment of others. They are: 個人的修持是否能成為自己與他人證得菩提的大力起因,還是僅僅成為暫時帶來放鬆、平和、大樂的方式,端賴以下三者:
- good in the beginning: arousing bodhichitta as a skilful means to ensure that your practice becomes a source of merit for the future 初善:以發菩提心為善巧方便,確保修持可成為未來福德之源
- good in the middle: maintaining the view of the nature of mind, the attitude of non-grasping free from conceptualization, that secures the practice so that the merit cannot be destroyed by circumstances, 中善:維持關於心性的見地,離於分別的無執態度,以確保修持所得的福德不受情境所毀壞
- good in the end: sealing the practice properly by dedicating the merit, which will ensure that it continually grows ever greater. 後善:以迴向福德來如理封印修持,以確保福德能繼續增長
The three are referred to in a popular quotation from Longchenpa: 引述自龍欽巴尊者
- "Begin with bodhichitta, do the main practice without concepts, 以發菩提心為始,不帶分別地修持正行
- Conclude by dedicating the merit. These, together and complete, 以迴向福德為終,這些完整地總合起來
- Are the three vital supports for progressing on the path to liberation." 乃為在解脫道上進展的三大助力
