【依师 Relying on the Teacher 】有件事更重要 One thing that is more important

依师 : 有件事更重要

说：「你们大家不错，都仰望说这个善知识想来求他，所以大家都晓得恭敬有道的人。你们不晓得照着去，他是怎么成就的。所以说『人皆知敬有道者，不知行之自得道也』。」我写在黑板上，就是这样。每个人都晓得说尊重、恭敬、赞叹有道的人，说，哎，这个人了不起、不了起！却有一点事情对我们更重要的：你呀，自己去做的话，那么你也能够有这样的成就。

【Relying on the Teacher 】– One thing that is more important

(This great practitioner’s comment was,) “All of you are pretty good (practitioners), and everyone looks up to this excellent Teacher to learn from. Meaning that, everyone pays respect to those with moral integrity. Yet you don’t know how to apply (the teachings) accordingly, how he attained such achievement. Hence, there is a saying: “Everyone knows to respect those with moral integrity, yet not realize by abiding (the teachings), one can achieve the same.” I wrote this on the board, just like this. Everyone knows to respect, venerate, and praise those with moral integrity by saying, “Ah, this person is remarkable, remarkable!” However, there is one thing that is more important for us: if you apply it (the teachings) accordingly, then you can also have the same achievement.
