所有甘露丸都可以使用吗?(甘露丸的来源是否清净,这个相当重要。)

LIBERATING LIVING BEINGS
Where do these harmful pills come from? Some are from tertons who are actually impostors and some are concocted by demons to hurt sentient beings. At times, genuine nectar pills, after being handled or made by persons who have broken samaya vows, can also be tainted. As Guru Rinpoche did not leave behind many nectar pills, accomplished masters, after retrieving them, will mix them with other nectar and medicinal herbs, then bless the pills through meditation and mantra recitations. If during this process there is one samaya violator among the attending practitioners, the pills will get tainted.
这种甘露丸是怎么来的呢?有些来自于伪伏藏师;有些是魔鬼为了加害众生做出的假甘露丸;另外,一些真正的甘露丸,在经过犯密乘戒人的手或者由他们来制作之后,也会成为不清净的。因为,莲花生大师传下来的甘露丸不是很多,高僧大德取出来后,在里面加上其他的甘露和药物,并观修念诵进行加持,念修的时候,如果修行人当中有犯密乘戒的人,这个甘露丸就不清净。
Therefore, close attention is needed when administering nectar pills. As ordinary beings, we cannot tell the real from the fake ones with the naked eye. The only way is by examining whether the pills came from a pure source. This is a very important step. If we are unsure of their source,we should just chant the Buddha’s names and omit giving the nectar pills to the soon-to-be liberated beings.
所以,用甘露丸的时候一定要注意。作为凡夫,我们以肉眼难以区分其真伪,只有看它的来源是否清净,这个相当重要。如果不清楚其来源,就不喂这种甘露丸,只念佛的圣号就可以了。
It is also very important to place the texts of ‘liberation upon wearing’, such as the Tantra, Single Heir of the Doctrine, on the head of the beings to bless them. Beings touched by this will soon be able to attain liberation. One may question, “These beings have neither practiced nor received transmissions of the Dharma. Why should they be able to attain liberation simply by attaching such texts to their body or being touched by it?" The only plausible explanation would be the inconceivable power of the Buddha’s skillful means to deliver sentient beings from suffering.
另外,将系解脱《圣教一子续》搁放在所放生命的头上加持也十分重要。凡是系解脱接触过的那些生命,很快就能够成佛。也许有人会有疑问:它自己不修行,也没有人给它传法,为什么仅仅将系解脱系在身上或接触以后就能够解脱呢?这就是佛度化众生不可思议的一种方便。
Still others may wonder why the Buddha could not liberate all sentient beings with the same skillful means. The sutras said that for beings to encounter ‘liberation upon wearing’ or Bardo Thotrol (Liberation through Hearing in the Bardo), they must have had certain causes and conditions occurred in their prior lives. What does it mean by past causes and conditions? For example, one can learn Vajrayana, the Great Perfection, or listen to profound teachings such as the Tantra, Single Heir of the Doctrine in this life, but may still take rebirth in the lower realms due to improper practice or broken vows. In that case, after being in the lower realms for a very long time, one may ultimately be saved not by the exoteric practices but that of the supreme Vajrayana rather effortlessly. This is because one has previously planted the good seeds of being exposed to the Vajrayana teachings and thus accumulated the merit that eventually allows one to be liberated by the inexplicable power of liberation through hearing or upon wearing. So, it is not a given that all sentient beings would have the same merit or same encounter.
也许还有人会问:佛既然有这样的方便,那为什么不用这种方便来度一切众生呢?经书上有记载,这些众生遇到系解脱、闻解脱,也有前世的因缘。前世的因缘是怎么一回事呢?譬如一个人现在学大圆满、学密乘、听《圣教一子续》等等,也有可能因不好好修行或犯戒而堕落。在恶趣里流转很长时间,最后度化他们的方法不是显宗的法,而是以密宗最殊胜的法,轻轻松松让他们得解脱。因为他的前世已经有了很好的缘分,这些众生本身具有这样的福报,所以它才会遇到这样的法,不是所有的众生都有此福德。这些叫做法布施。
