修佛法2 Practicing Buddhism 2

 

修佛法2  

           我常常會面對有人說: 師父你10年前、20年前講過的

話,現在怎麼可以改變了呢!? 

我常被要求在原地20年、30年都不可以動一下, 語言也不可以

轉換,也不可以修正!哈

 那我豈不變成阿呆師哈! 人心裡的恐懼是無以言喻的!

 那種恐懼會恐懼到要求別人都跟自己站在一條線、一個點, 然後不可以動, 人性說也說不完⋯⋯

               我常覺得人怎麼可以這麼封鎖的去過完自己的一輩子!

 一個出家師父身上背負的重擔難以想像!

只能說;聽清楚了佛法,去修自己,把那個龜縮(鎖)的自己拉出來,

天下第一大神功,哈


 Practicing Buddhism 2

People often ask me how it is that what I’m now saying is different

 from what I said ten or twenty years ago.


It’s as if I’m being asked to not make any modifications, corrections,

 or improvements to what I said or wrote two or three decades ago. A

 teacher who never improves---what a scary thought!

Out of fear of change, some people cling to their current views and

 understanding, and expect others to do the same; this is human

 nature.

It’s unfortunate that some people live their entire lives enclosed in a

 tiny box. Imagine the heavy burden this places on a monk or nun

 trying to teach the Dharma!

In a nutshell, my advice is to learn the teaching well, and then apply

 it to yourself, in such a way that you extricate yourself from your

 self-created, limiting views.

Of all the amazing things in this world, this one is of foremost

 importance.
