VENERABLE MASTER'S DHARMA RAIN

【 上人規矩集要 】

A Collection of the Venerable Master's Rules:

聽經要鄭重其事
We Should Be Serious In Listening To Lectures

宣公上人開示 Talks by the Venerable Master Hua
沙彌尼親毅 英譯 English translation by Shramanerika Chin Yi

我們聽經,有不明白的地方,應該用你自己的智慧來研究這個問題;不應該一邊講一邊笑,一邊笑又一邊講,互相好像沒有什麼知識的人,亂烘烘的亂講亂說,必須要有一種定力。你有定力然後才能生出慧力;你生出慧力,不明白的也會明白的。你如果不用定力,你就沒有慧力;沒有慧力,你不明白的始終也不會明白。

所以我們為法,必須要鄭重其事,時時刻刻都好像佛在我們左右、上下、前後,所謂如在其上,如在其左右。你時時刻刻,好像佛在你的前後左右和你的上邊,你自然就不會放逸了,不會亂烘烘的樣子,我是向大家學習。

In listening to Sutra lectures, if you don't understand something, you should use your wisdom to investigate the problem. You shouldn't laugh while giving a lecture, giving the impression that you have no education and are only capable of shooting the breeze. You ought to have samadhi (concentration) power, so that wisdom will come forth. That way, you will understand what you couldn't grasp before. Without samadhi power, you will never understand anything because you don't have wisdom.

Because of this, we should be prudent in regard to the Dharma, behaving as if the Buddha were with us at all times. As the saying goes, "Behave as if he is above us and all around us." If the Buddha is always with you, you will not be careless or frivolous. I am only learning from everybody.
