要想成為真正的佛弟子，就必須皈依三寶（中英雙語）

　　學(xué)佛人在沒有皈依之前，念佛誦經(jīng)、吃素放生、布施行善、供佛齋僧、建寺院等，積極做任何一件善事也是很有功德，但終究還不能算是佛弟子。要想成為真正的佛弟子，就必須要皈依佛、法、僧三寶，不但要有如法的皈依儀式，受皈者還要觀想納受皈依體，這樣才能獲得三寶的加被，如法行持才能獲得皈依三寶的殊勝功德。

　　Before taking refuge in Buddhism, it is of merits for people to actively do any good deed such as chanting the name of Amitābha and Su?tras, freeing captive animals, abstaining from eating meat, doing good deeds, worshipping （pūj�。� the Buddha and giving donation （dāna） to Sam?gha as well as building the temple. However, it does not mean that they are Buddhists. If a person wants to be an authentic Buddhist, he or she must take refuge to the Triple Gem, namely the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sam?gha. The person should attend the Refuge Ceremony in a proper way and visualize ordaining refuge precepts; thus, he or she will be blessed by the Triple Gem. After taking refuge in the Triple Gem, it is proper way to practice the teachings of the Buddha and simultaneously he or she can obtain extraordinary merit.
