【亲近善知识 Relying on The Excellent Teacher】没有人教我就不行吗?If no one teaches me, then it cannot be achieved?

依师: 没有人教我就不行吗?

【「修解脱者,更无紧要过于尊重。】

真正要想修佛法的人没有比这个更重要的。 下面引:

【即观现世可看他而作者,若无教者亦且无成,况是无间从恶趣来,欲往从所未经之地,岂能无师。 】

就看眼前世间的,那个世间的比起出世间的,不晓得方便多少,而你还可以看别人,你看见了别人就可以做的,对不起!没人教你,你还是不行,没有人教你就是不行!

[Relying on the Teacher] – If no one teaches me, then it cannot be achieved?

[For attaining freedom there is nothing more important than the guru.] For a person who truly desires to train in Buddhism, there is nothing more important than this. Next, it cites:

【It is sufficient to learn the activities of this life by watching others, but you will not learn them well without an instructor. Likewise, without a guru, how can we succeed in traveling to a place where we have never been, having just been reborn from a miserable realm. 】

If you look at the present mundane world, comparing the learning between the mundane world and the supramundane world, you have no idea how much easier it is to learn things in the mundane world. And, you can see what the others are doing. You can just watch others and mimic them. But I am sorry! If there is no one to teach you how to do it, you will still not be able to do it [well]. Without someone to teach you, you just can’t do it!
